Nishii's personal board, a board designed specifically for the extremely crowded and tiny Shonan area, has arrived.
With the addition of blood paint to the cute airbrush, it's become an ORCA that looks just like LOST.
The face looks like this and the eyes are planets.
The rails are sharp, there's a complex vee around the bottom fin, and it's full of volume!
The bottom is very wide, but you can do rail work and turn,
It has a hull like the bottom of a boat so you can also target the lip.
Below are the six ready-made sizes and appropriate weights of "ORCA" recommended by Mayhem.
And the thing we want to know most is the "CL value"!

Two popular models/sizes with fast takeoff and extremely fast paddle.
The Presto TABLET model, 6'2", weighs 39.81cl
Lost "CONQUEST" 6'2" is 41.69cl,
Imagine how fast the ORCA can take off!
What do you think? Does it make you want to ride an ORCA?
We've already ordered the first few boards from Mayhem, so you should be able to ride them in August!
