I rode Nishii's personal board, "SHORT ROUND."
It's an interesting outline that gets you excited even before you get on.
I used the AUROLA WARd 5 fins in a QUAD set.
This
WARD 5 fin is small, but including the QUAD rear fin,
Since it is longer at the back, it is a fin that drives more than the height of the fin.
Wide but pointed nose design,
If you look at just the tail, you can see that it's a wide squash tail from a performance board.
I carefully applied a base coat of FU WAX.
Unlike other waxes, FU's base can be applied in small particles.
One FU base wax is economical as it can be used for about 5 to 6 shortboards.
The water temperature is cool for a semi-dry full suit without boots, so it's cool for a top coat.
It was a perfect test wave for a waist-chest sized, long shouldered, open-faced wave.
Nishii's personal board "SHORT ROUND" is a little similar to SHAW's SHORT ROUND model.
Mayhem changed the design to balance the thickness and make it more suitable for older men.
SHAW boards have thinner rails, which makes them faster, so the production version has thinner rails.
The rail shape seems better. This model is designed for those who prioritize athletic performance.
This is a mini board model for those who want to do high-performance surfing, so it's better to have agility in your movements.
It's a position similar to the previous ROCKET model.
It seems like it would be better if the width was a little more appropriate so that it wouldn't stall. I'll do some more test rides.
Now onto the evening T-STRET session.
Nate was surfing and he hit a few sets of waves. As you'd expect from a former WCT surfer.
All the skilled surfers coming out of the ocean are on LOST MAYHEM.
I filmed SHAW riding until the wind died down and the sun went down.
For the past few months, SHAW has only been on "SHORT ROUND," including matches.
I love this model and am riding it. Please wait a little longer until it is released!
