Determine the location of the stepped elevator wings, a feature of the Quest series.



************************************

The elevator in the elevator wing is an elevator that moves up and down,

It was named after the name. When I tried to turn, there was a step,

The rails move up and down, providing good rail response and a good starting point for turning.

It has a function that makes it easy to grasp.

The outline of the tail shape is cut using a Japanese saw, as shown here.

Other angles and rough shapes are carved out like this with an electric sander.

Furthermore, rough sandpaper was attached to the wooden board,

Mayhem attacks with tools of his own making.

The rails are the most important part of Mayhem's shape, and they determine how the board moves in the water.

Apparently, he shapes it as he imagines it.

To finish the tail shape, use rolled sandpaper to smooth out the delicate parts.


The great thing about Mayhem is that you can use both your right and left hands to shape it.

It seems that there have been very few shapers in the past who can use both hands to shape.


This is why Mayhem is said to be " the last genius shaper of the 20th century."

Finally, write the shape sign and board size/model name in pencil to complete the design.


It was released with a shape design that was created with all our might for Mayhem's Japanese users.

Paddle and takeoff are quick, short and light, and the movement is good.

How about giving AIRQUEST a try?
