The board we prepared for the test ride is 5'4" and 29.5CL.
From the first one, I took off from the swell as fast as a long board,
When I stood up, it didn't stop, but just kept increasing in speed.
I dug into the lip twice and made a turn that produced beautiful spray.
The rails, nose and tail are thin and sharp, which is why it's called a "retro" model.
It moves in a way that is completely unimaginable from its retro-fishy outline.
As expected from MAYHEM!
Although the model name is retro, the movement is far from retro - it's a cutting-edge board!
It moves more easily than you'd imagine!
The movement is quick and smooth, and it's perfect for an adult turn.
It is stable and has fast rotation.
The soft waves after a short onshore wind,
This is the best model for surfing in slow, fast waves that don't have much power when you take off!
Examples of board size selection for "RNF-RETRO" are as follows:
It is about 2 inches longer than the "BEAN BAG".
It is recommended to make it about 3 inches shorter than the "RNF-REDUX".
It is as short as possible so that the CL value is not less than that of a regular board.
Depending on your level, choose 2 to 6 cl more and ride accordingly.
If you have never ridden a short board and are worried about riding a short board, you can choose a size that is longer and has more clearance than the standard options above, and it will still be light and smooth enough that you can enjoy riding it without any problems.
So Nishii,
I ride a 5'5" RNF-REDUX 27.5CL bike.
I felt that the 5'4" RNF-RETRO 29.5cl size was too big for Nishii,
It was much more "sharp and light! Smooth and gentle ride!" than I had imagined.
I felt that even though this
RNF-RETRO is a large size, it can be ridden easily according to your level.
Since the
RNF-RETRO comes standard in resin color, production requires significantly more steps than clear board, making it extremely time-consuming and difficult, so stock boards are invaluable!
This is a rare piece of Mayhem writing
"RNF-RETRO !" in his own handwriting on the board.
Here is the first stock board we have in stock!
First come, first served!
Fins are highly recommended by designer Mayhem.
Please use this
"MB SPRIT KEEL" !
In a nutshell, what kind of model is the new model "
RNF-RETRO "?
If you say "A wolf in sheep's clothing," you can get the idea across!
