★The basis of the technique is speed! A super fast quest model that flies even though it is short!★
Features of POWERQUEST
- The two-channel water flow effect makes it very easy to gain speed.
- The paddling is quicker and the Dolphin is easier to use than the Conquest.
・For intermediate and above levels.
When watching advanced surfers, have you ever noticed that the biggest difference is speed? Speed is the foundation of surfing. Speed generates power, which is what makes tricks successful. If you want to make big rips and create spray, you need incredible speed. However, it's also true that this "gaining speed" is extremely difficult for surfers who have moved beyond the beginner to intermediate level. Conversely, if you can just gain speed, you can land all the lips and cutbacks. You can even get through the damper sections. However, if you simply make it easier to gain speed, the board will become thinner and slimmer, like a scorcher. This makes paddling and takeoff difficult for intermediate and lower level surfers.
Can you develop a board that delivers incredible speed without sacrificing takeoff performance? Mayhem has solved this difficult problem by adopting an original 2-channel accelerator bottom design specifically for Japanese waves. This design allows you to surf at high speed in any wave, creating big lines and creating spray, making speed surfing a reality. The ultra-fast Quest series is like an accelerator, capable of launching at top speed in both damper and thick waves. This model is aptly named "POWERQUEST"! Based on the Conquest, it features a unique tail design that combines a voluminous outline with a double wing and round tail, while keeping width and thickness to a minimum, with an elevator wing and 2-channel accelerator bottom.
Normally, putting a channel towards the bottom improves straightness and drive, but the trade-off is that it can catch and stall on rough waves. However, Mayhem's 2-channel Accel Bottom eliminates the weaknesses common to conventional channel designs by making the depth moderately shallow and adding rocker to the channel. Furthermore, the elevator wing is positioned higher than usual, achieving agility on a par with high-performance boards. Of course, the Quest series' greatest feature is its quick take-off, which is significantly faster than standard boards, and it's also easier to paddle.
The Quest series began with the Conquest, but unlike previous models released for specific purposes, the POWERQUEST is a full-fledged board that can be used for all-around purposes by intermediate and advanced surfers. The main concept of this board is that it allows anyone to accelerate at high speed and make smooth, powerful turns. We have taken into account the points that intermediate surfers tend to make mistakes on when turning, which is the foundation of surfing, and solved those points!
For example, when stalling during a cutback, the channel ensures the speed before entering the turn without having to set back and fully utilize the tail edge. Then, by simply tilting the rail slightly, the board will begin to rotate around the elevator wing, and the channel will redirect the water hitting the tail surface, which would otherwise cause stalling, to the rear. As a result, you can turn smoothly without stalling, producing more spray than usual. Even when you're left behind in a top turn, the channel redirects the water that would otherwise collect on the entire tail when you turn the board, reducing the resistance of the water caught on the tail edge and preventing stalling when you turn the board, allowing you to smoothly descend to the bottom.
The QUEST series boasts the fastest speed when going up and down! It also solves common problems with multi-fins. Multi-fins can be difficult to set up in slow waves, and thrusters are too heavy for tight turns. Quads are too loose when you're in the power pocket. Regardless of which fin setting you choose, the QUEST fins offer a higher-than-normal elevator wing, allowing for tighter maneuverability while holding the channel edge in place to prevent loosening, dramatically improving control.
The fins are only available with 5 plugs/FCS specification so that you can ride with quad, tri, or 5 fins.
