This morning, I was woken up by a call from Shane Beschen, who invited me to come surf at T-Street in San Clemente. When I got there, I was surprised! Shane was holding his Conquest, grinning like he always does. I had heard from Mayhem that Shane likes it and rides it, but Shane said he rides here every day!! It's unfair that someone as skilled as him can ride it.
But this is because Mayhem has a doctor-like knowledge of Shane's boards and is able to test them above and beyond the normal level, and he just loved the boards he made for the test.
Shane is a surfboard doctor.
The doctor heard that I was shooting movies for Mayhem and Conquest every day, so he agreed to help me and film them.
Speaking of which, Shane has retired from the WCT and now seems to enjoy riding boards such as the RNF-Q and 4FIN SHARK, in addition to standard boards.
Shane on the Conquest was going really fast and had some incredible moves. We were able to capture a world-class surfer riding the Conquest, bringing out all of the potential it has.
Although the Conquest is a thick board, he said that the elevator wing has a great effect and the design responds well when weight is applied to the rails.
I'm sure surfers of Shane's caliber can instantly tell whether a wing is good or bad while riding. But I also felt confident saying that the Conquest is really good, so I was relieved to hear that surfers of Shane's caliber are saying it's good. The Conquest has Shane's seal of approval.
While we were shooting, Mayhem appeared and joined the session, and then...
Mason and his son Michael Ho also came. With the LOST members surfing right in front of me, I was so excited I had to be careful not to miss any shots.
Michael and I have been friends for over 15 years, going out at night in Tokyo (the details are top secret).
When I told Mason that he had gotten better, his dad looked very happy and smiled.
(Really good!)
The waves were small, but we managed to capture Shane, Mayhem, and Mason on Conquests, with their fins doing smooth lip and spinning airs, and even the rare sight of the oldest surfer, Michael, doing an air on his SD4!
