Luvsurf TV:LOST MAYHEM 『V2-SB』 Julian Wilson
Rider: Julian Wilson
Board used: LOST MAYHEM 『V2-SB』
FILM: Koji Nishii
EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM
The board that Julian was riding at the 2013 US-OPEN was not the usual DRIVER model,
This new model, called the "V2-SB," was issued by Mayhem in 2013 to WCT and WQS competitors and many other team riders.
It was perfected through extensive testing and adjustments from contests and free surfing.
This is a noteworthy new model that is scheduled for official release in 2014.
The flat rocker curve of ROCKET, known as the Devil's Rocker,
For competitors who prefer a point nose,
This model was designed by Mayhem to work on high performance boards.
The characteristics of this board are the wave quality that breaks slowly and
The waves are thick and the terrain is bad, so the board stalls when trying to ride to the inside.
This model was designed with an emphasis on being able to ride at high speeds in sections,
This is our top recommended high-performance model for 2014, with a design that is well suited to the wave conditions in Japan.
What I want everyone to emulate in Julian W's riding is the "backside bottom turn posture."
The posture is to spread both hands wide and put weight deeply on the board so as not to lose balance,
This is a position that allows you to lower your riding posture while bottom turning by "keeping your left hand in contact with the bottom surface" with each bottom turn. If you can make a backside turn while being conscious of keeping your left hand on the wave surface, your turns will become more stable.
This will allow you to make extended turns towards the top!
Now, let's take a look at J.W.'s riding on the V2-SB.
