I went to the LOST Surfboard Factory and handed Mayhem an order form for a new Japanese stockboard.
Mayhem has received a large number of orders from WT&QS players, more than usual, for this year's US Open.
This shaped board is Julian Wilson's US Open board,
The model was, as expected, "F1-STUB."
Then, Mayhem's personal board was finished, so we decided to go for a test ride.
The board we will be testing is the yellow and blue airbrushed V2-ROCKET, which is located behind the Mayhem.

This is the Mayhem family's surf skate rack.
Just like their surfboards, Mayhem develops, tests and produces their own surfskates.

Mayhem's surfboard collection ranges from very old boards to ones used by recent WT surfers.
The waves at LOWES today were small and crowded, and the waves were more intense than in the contest heats.
The conditions require considerable skill and paddling power to catch a wave,
The boards they used today were:
Nishii was a 5'7" V2-ROCKET and Mayhem was a 5'11" V2-ROCKET,
Both have some buoyancy, so catching waves was a breeze.
