Sorry to have kept you waiting, everyone! The video of Ward driving a Lancer Evolution is now complete.
A video has been released showing Chris Ward demonstrating how to surf on a ``FLEXLITE-TURBO'' board, which is the same metallic silver color as the board sold by Presebo ``RNF-EVOLUTION.''
Luvsurf TV:Placebo “RNF-EVOLUTION” FLEXLITE-TURBO Produced By Chirs Ward
Rider: Chris Ward
Board used: Precevo Mayhem "RNF-EVOLUTION" FLEXLITE-TURBO
FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: Tabrigade Film
This video shows Chris Ward riding a pre-owned "RNF-EVOLUTION" model (commonly known as the Lancer Evolution) with the same FLEXLITE-TURBO specifications as the boards sold in stores in Japan, going at high speed and taking big lines like an adult surfer.
The suppleness of the FLEXLITE-TURBO board material allows it to fit into the waves, reducing the number of trims required and allowing Chris Ward to surf big turns with big spray. The flipped nose prevents the nose rail from digging into the wave when pearling in deep waves or bottoming out after an off-the-lip. The thin rails also enhance the control of a large board.
The FLEXLITE-TURBO board material makes the board light and fast to handle, and Chris Ward himself says it feels like riding a smaller board than the actual board.
The trick to riding this board well is to lean the rails and step on your back foot as you turn at the bottom and top. The closer your back foot is to the tail than the front fin, the quicker you can turn the board.
This is a collection of exemplary rail-to-rail surfing that shows how to ride not only small waves but also overhead-sized waves like this.
Imagine Chris Ward riding the RNF-EVOLUTION and enjoy surfing a big, grown-up line on your Lancer Evolution. Here's the video!
