What's everyone going for these days for midlength boards? I have a Mystic boardbag that I had for my previous board, but that's a couple of years old and much wider than what boards are these days. So I'm curious what everyone has moved to wrt board bags now with the midlengths.
I use Curve.

They don't have a midlength dedicated range yet but I assume they will soon. If I need the mast attached at all times I leave the flap open or have it modified to accommodate.
The fish is what I order:

In the UK, 109 Watersports make custom Foil, Mast, 'full' plane, covers. Top quality pieces of kit!
Maybe worth a phone call for a fitted board bag.
I ordered some Creatures Double Fish bags from the AFS distributor here in the US... really nice bags. A bit $$ and no foil mast slot, but everything else is perfect. Very well padded and nice materials. We use the 6'7" Double Fish to fit the AFS Blackbird 6'2" x 21". A customer with a Skybrid 5'8" x 22" also uses this bag.
Does anyone have a bag suggestion for a board like the AFS Whitebird 6'8 x 23 or KT Super K 104 6'9 x 23 ?

I have that Super K and it fits perfectly inside an Armstrong board bag of similar dimensions like it was made for it.
I just received my Channel Islands boardbag, a coffin bag for 3 surfboards, it looks perfect to fit my Ginxu super k 92L, plus foil and at least two wings. The padding on the inside is unbelievably thick and sturdy. And yet the bag is lighter than my mystic star wingfoil bag.

If you are in Europe the guys at Pukas were super helpful in measuring and weighing the bag and providing me with info.
I had never heard of CI boardbags but what I see seems to back up the few reviews I found.
Foiltech from Amos are the best I have seen. Made for foil boards. Not sure of the sizes. Mine is the 5'6 but fits my 5'8 perfect.
I can't recommend the LF bags. Small brand that I want to like, but the product I have used just wasn't well designed at all - objectively.
curve makes a great daybag for cheap. The Gong bags are excellent too.
I am using the FCS Travel 3 Surfboard Bag in 6'3 for the Armstrong ML 75 litres (6'1). Am putting the board incl the Armstrong Boardbag into it + 2 Frontings and 2 Stabs which ends up at ~18kg, ie still room for some more stuff. Travelled several times with the bag and no issues at all (bought it originally for Surfboards but fits the ML Armstrong board very well)

For midlength foilboards, I like the idea (below) of using double surfboard bags ....but unfortunately they don't accomodate storing the board with mast (and airplane)attached(which is how I keep my board in my van for most rapid deployment). I have been very happy with the Axis bag that came as an option for $189 US with my 5'4 x 19.5" 60L Axis FoilDrive board (it fits like a glove and sports every handle and 100% plastic zipper you could want). The biggest FoilDrive board is 70L at 5'8" x 20" wide. Unfortunately,I have not been able to find these bags* (specifically the FoilDrive board bags) sold separate but maybe you will be able to. axisfoils.com/collections/gear-bags/products/downwind-foil-boardbag?variant=43592631943409 They are fantastic bags if they fit.
Recently, I found that Manera has new bags for mid-length boards. They are not nearly as form fitting and elegant as the Axis bag but look very versatile. www.manera.com/en/products/boardbags/midlength.html
