Luvsurf TV: MAYHEM "DRIVER" POLYESTER ADAM MELLING
Rider: Adam Melling
Board used: MAYHM 5'9.5" 『DRIVER』 POLYESTER
FILM: Koji Nishii
EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM
Look, these are the legs of an athlete who has worked hard to build thick thighs.
He is a famous athlete who trains extremely hard.
I have been using MAYHEM drivers since 2012 and love them.
The thing I would like you to emulate about his surfing style is his low posture.
Even if you can't do his riding style, which always involves bending your knees,
If you can surf while keeping a low profile, you will be able to make deeper turns than you can now.
A low posture creates a turn, so when you release the tension, the board is released.
It increases speed.
To put it in perspective, it's like submerging an inflated beach ball deep in water, then letting go and the ball pops up.
By instantly pushing the board deep and letting it sink, you can turn and the buoyancy will help extend the turn.
This is an example of riding that shows how keeping a low posture can be effective in any situation.
Even in this position with the fins removed, the board stays attached to your body.
Now, take a look at Adam's low-slung surfing.
