Board used: MAYHM 5'10" 『DRIVER』POLYESTER

Adam Melling, 29, from Australia, has been improving his power turn year by year through training. 
He loves the 5'10" DRIVER model and always brings it to Mayhem.
We keep getting orders for the exact same board in the same length and model.
Apparently, you can get the most out of a board by continuing to ride the same model and size.
If you are interested in competing, you might want to try imitating the things that top athletes do. 
I've been training and my thighs are thick, so I take out my fins when the waves are in this position.
It remains stable even when performing slide turns.
Take a look at the photo illustrating a carving turn with timing diagrams of 1, 2, 3. 
First, this bottom turn.
This is important. Squat down as low as possible.
Focusing on the inside of the rail, sink the board into the water to create tension.
Release the tension as the board heads towards the top. 
2 is rail switching.
When switching rails at this top position, step on the tail.
Open both arms and place your left hand on the inside downwards to act as the axis of rotation.
First, turn the board by imagining twisting your upper body, then your lower body.
The board doesn't need to pop out of the wave like an off-the-lip.
The angle shown in this photo is fine for a steep face.
3 is a twist of the body.
This is the twisting body position!
Remember to twist in the following order: arms → upper body → waist → lower body!
