Today, I will be showing two films I brought to Mexico, LOST's "DIABLO-SPARTAN" in the morning and afternoon.
I rode a total of two rounds.
Masaki is riding his newly completed 5'6" PUDDLE JUMPER-JP . He says that the action of the PUDDLE JUMPER-JP is amazing, as it lets him take sharp lips one after another just like riding a regular high-performance board.
Nishii's personal board , the DIABLO-SPALTAN model, is the same size as a stockboard, at 5'7".
DIABLO SPATAN size lineup
5'7″ x 19.25″x 2.25″(170 x 48.9 x 5.7 cm) Intermediate 55-60kg Advanced 60-65kg 26.5cl
5'8″ x 19.50″x 2.32″(173 x 49.5 x 5.85cm) Intermediate 60-65kg Advanced 65-70kg 28.0cl
5'9″ x 19.75″x 2.38″(175 x 50.1 x 6.0 cm) Intermediate 65-70kg Advanced 70-75kg 29.5cl
5'10″x 19.88″x 2.44″(178 × 50.4 × 6.2 cm) Intermediate 70-75kg Advanced 75-80kg 31.0cl
Nishii weighs 60kg and needs at least 24CL even on powerful waves.
This 5'7" DIABLO-SPALTAN has 26.5cl of buoyancy, so it has plenty of buoyancy.
The paddle was smooth and the takeoff was easy, so I didn't get tired and surfed for 2 rounds x 3 hours. For long surfing, a board with more buoyancy is better because you don't get tired easily!
The DIABLO-SPALTAN has less buoyancy and a thinner nose than the base model DOS-DIABLO , making it a recommended model for men who like high-performance boards and have average paddling strength.
If you're not confident in paddling or want to ride lots of waves even in crowded conditions, choose the "DOS-DIABLO." If you prioritize mobility, choose the "DIABLO-SPALTAN."
Mayhem always says that these two DIABLO series boards are perfect board designs that are so true to their concept that they don't need any further design modifications!
