Must-see! LOST "CARBON WRAP" detailed commentary video by MAYHEM himself

CW2
Carbon Wrap. Now, this is really exciting. This board is made with Carbon Wrap technology. Carbon Wrap technology is something our Australian partner, Dan McDonald, has developed over the last five years. Dan and I partnered two years ago to manufacture surfboards in Australia. I immediately fell in love with the look and performance of Carbon Wrap. Over the last 18 months, many people, including material suppliers, pro surfers, and myself, have worked hard to bring this unique and amazing performance to market.
The Carbon Wrap project creates a strong, light, and highly responsive surfboard that makes surfing easier and more fun. This cutting edge, high performance material takes surfing to the next level. The most impressive aspect of Carbon Wrap technology is that it shapes stringerless EPS boards. CW4 Visually, there are these two bands of carbon lines. They start close to the nose, gradually widen out to the left and right as they reach the tail, and then wrap around the deck surface just before the front fin. That's why it's called a "carbon wrap." What kind of flex does this technology create? The nose is stiff, and as the carbon bands widen, the flex increases. And the front fin, where the carbon wraps around the deck surface, is like the hinge of a door. It's guaranteed to be a fun surfboard. The carbon band on the tail not only adds performance, but also acts as reinforcement. It's the same as the now-standard carbon patch reinforcement.
CW3 The bottom is glassed like a regular board, but with high quality S-glass.
The deck surface is made of our proprietary carbon fiber called "Webfuse Carbon."
This Webfuse Carbon is placed in areas that bear the surfer's weight.
The deck surface uses X-glass that intersects at a 45-degree angle. CW6
Glassing the entire bike with X-glass has many benefits.
Most importantly, lighter sections are more likely to buzz or break under load, reducing the chance of that happening, and spreading foot pressure evenly. CW7 Your front foot is here, and your back foot is around here. Normal boards cross at 90 degrees from nose to tail, rail to rail. When you step on the board, the pressure is only applied to the rail within this range. CW8 However, X-glasses connect in many directions and have more area to the rail, which means you can control the rail more effectively. CW12 The visually cool and attractive Webfuse Carbon certainly has a purpose, and it plays a big role. One of its purposes is to reduce the pressure caused by the surfer's weight. Most modern high-performance boards mold to the shape of your foot, which fits nicely to your foot. It's like walking or running in Nike shoes. CW9 This means it's designed to fit the shape of your foot. The Webfuse carbon in the center creates a depression between the rails. Other manufacturers' stringerless EPSs have nothing in the center. But this one has a gentle bow shape, so it fits your foot right from the start. The toe and heel areas feel like they're recessed, creating a gentle curve in the center.
Suddenly it feels like I'm wearing familiar shoes. CW11 Prevents the center of the board from denting, breaking, or breaking
We didn't want to create any extreme points of strength, so we gradually faded the edges of the Webfuse Carbon. By increasing the length and tapering the width, there are no fragile points.
That's why we ended up with a nice cut of carbon like this. The carbon band wraps around from the bottom and overlaps with the Webfuse carbon, so there are no places where it can easily break.
These are the structural features of the carbon wrap.

Now let's look at performance.
The waves aren't usually good when we go surfing, right?
Everyone is looking for a board that's easy to surf in choppy waves.
Being able to surf easily means that the surfboard is light, fast, and easy to move quickly. This carbon fiber arrangement and structure gives it a quick and strong flex. Carbon wrap is recommended by professional surfers. WQS surfers who surf in small, unpredictable waves often have carbon wrap boards in their board bags.
To gain an advantage in unpredictable, unfavorable waves, I choose lightweight, shockingly high-performance carbon wraps.
CW14 It's responsive, flexible, and allows for powerful turns. The forefoot has a carbon band that converges to the center, which gives it a stiff feel, especially if the deck is also made of carbon.
When you step on the front foot, it doesn't flex as much. Because it wraps around in front of the front fin, the tail flexes, just like a skateboard. You step on it and it responds and turns.
This is because carbon has a shape memory that responds quickly. Its flex accelerates the turn forward. Personally, I think that although there are many technologies and materials out there, carbon wrap is the easiest to understand. I think that just by looking at it, you can understand what kind of performance a carbon wrap creates and what it does. It looks cool, and it's easy to understand which parts of the board flex and why - that's carbon wrap!!! [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/163062207[/vimeo] So, please watch the video carefully and again!
