The waves at LOWERS have returned after a few days of no waves.
There's a three-day weekend here until Monday, but it's winter in the ocean so it's not very crowded.
I posted this on my previous blog,

Being able to test ride the board on machine-break waves like the test course is
This makes it very easy to compare board performance.
Today I rode the POWERQUEST with QUAD fins.
This is AUROLA FLEX-FIVE.
In conclusion, I prefer the TRI setting for POWERQUEST.
The QUAD fin I setting seems to work better in waves that are a little thicker or less powerful.
This is an individual thing, so when riding the POWERQUEST, you should try both.
POWERQUEST has a tail like AQ, RNFQ5 and SPEEDQUEST.
It is also not as wide as the original CONQUSET model.
The tail end is narrowed down by the EVW and two channels towards the tail.
He analyzed that this was due to the design.
This is a side view of the board.
The rocker is more than the CONQUET, so the board feels much lighter and moves better.
As I wrote yesterday, this POWERQUEST model is very good at cutbacks, both in TRI and QUAD.
Especially when you've run too far and want to get to the tip of the wave and return to the curl.
You can easily perform the roundhouse cutback you want to perform.
When setting up the rail during cutback, if the rail is usually thick,
It's difficult because it requires leg strength to keep the rails submerged for a long time.
The buoyancy of the rails prevents stalling due to excessive sinking of the rails.
While hooking with 2 channels and EVW,
The rails are designed to be long and easy to put into the water.
I was impressed that Mayhem really understood the moves that Japanese players struggle with.
I also tried it out in sideshore conditions and the board performed great!
This is a new model that we can't wait for you to try!
