Hello everyone. This is Yuji, a staff member.
The other day, I went to Katakai Shintsutsumi in northern Chiba,
The wave information at that time and the latest board I just got
I would like to share my impressions of actually riding it.
On this day, the size of Katakai Shintsutsumi was around Koshi.
Sometimes, unexpectedly, waves bigger than Kata break from the outside.
It was a strange condition.
The wind was strong from the northeast side off, causing some disturbance to the face.
The interval between sets is too long
I was waiting for a wave in the middle section,
It's basically a wide shore break.
Take one action, aiming for the area slightly to the right of the center where the waves get thicker.
Once the tide was out, we took one action in a sandy area near the embankment.
That's how I managed to play the game.
However, to be honest, the wave conditions on this day were
To a certain extent, it didn't matter.
Because it was my first time riding a new board.
"V3-STEALTH" CARBON WRAP R-4C.
I wanted it so badly that I couldn't resist getting it before everyone else.
I bought it as soon as it arrived.
My first impression after riding it was that it's a board that moves in a way I've never experienced before.
Firstly, the paddles are very fast and smooth.
It may be slower than a high buoyancy board,
It's one of the fastest performance boards I've ever ridden.
And the takeoff is also incredibly fast.
The large tail is pushed by the waves so you don't miss them.
The tail rocker is kept to a minimum,
With more tail contact with the water, even with fewer paddles,
The power of the wave is transmitted from the tail to the board, and it takes off in an instant.
Once you start riding, the single concave effect
It accelerates rapidly while lifting.
Plus, there's Mayhem's secret spice, the R-4C.
The effect of this channel is very high, and as soon as you put your hind legs on it,
It accelerates as if you had changed gears.
It's embarrassing to say, but the first one had unexpected acceleration.
I was so surprised that I fell over and was left behind on the board.
Regarding turning, the W-wing rocket tail and
Tight, rockered nose, and also R-4C.
When you step on the tail that is lifted by the channel
The force is transmitted to the wing, creating waves.
The light nose turns quickly,
It makes small turns with ease.
Now, in the close-out section, we're going to pick up speed.
A deep bottom turn using the flat deck.
The board easily plumbs up and turns easily on the lip.
There are many amazing things about it, but the most important thing is how light the turn is.
Even if it is an unreasonable movement that would normally cause a stall,
If you push the tail in, it will turn well and actually accelerate.
That acceleration leads to greater action.
(Obviously, the person in the photo is Taji, not me.)
On this day, I used
KA fins SMALL .
Next time, I'll use bigger fins and drive.
I'm thinking of adding some stability.
There are still new discoveries to be made,
We will report to you each time this happens.
thank you!
