Must-see!! [Translated] LOST's "Rad Ripper" Mayhem himself explains the model

[Translated] LOST's "Rad Ripper" Mayhem's model explanation video

Needless to say, this "Rad Ripper" Based on a design that was popular in the 1980s The 1980s was when I was a kid. At that time, I had just started surfing, and I was clumsy and having fun. It was a time when I was excited and pretending to be a surfer. Externally, it's a design from that era.

Flat deck, beak-shaped nose It's a bright color logo design that stands out. Those 1980s designs have evolved to the present day. I combined my knowledge with design.

By adding a single concave to the bottom of the forefoot I was able to install lockers more easily than before.

An important point is the bottom of the rear legs. The fin area has a strong V bottom. This V-bottom is perfect even with a wide tail. It provides a loose performance that allows you to move the board easily.

As you can see, the rocker is subdued and the nose is beaked. And the flat deck and angled staple rail shape The rail shape used to have sharp edges on the bottom, but Now it's softened to match the single concave.

This big, flashy MAYHEM logo was my very first logo. It's the 1980s, and it's the same logo design as back then. In the 1980s, every surfboard brand had something like this. They had a logo for the rails, which was really cool. This is the 80s look of "Rad Ripper" It's a graphics package I wanted it to be fun. This is the logo for the first T-shirt we made for Lost.

The 5-fin system is standard equipment. There are a lot of surfers who like to ride quads. Surfers with strong legs ride with tri-fins But I want to move the board easily and for loose surfing It would be better to ride a quad The pointed nose gives it the look of a performance shortboard The volume makes it easy for intermediate surfers to ride. Intermediate level surfers and those whose surfing level and physical strength have declined If you still want to ride a shortboard with a sharp nose, this is definitely it. The ride is smooth, the paddles are easy, and it feels stable. The V-bottom makes it easy for everyone to turn.

The wing is about 30cm from the tail, further forward than usual. So, if your back foot is behind the wing, you can turn easily. You don't have to step back all the way to the tail. You can turn even if your stance is a little forward. Accelerate easily by stepping on your front foot A board that makes surfing easy for everyone The design has a nostalgic look Moreover, Lost's pro riders are also using the Rad Ripper. It's interesting that you enjoy surfing.

I started in the surfboard industry in San Clemente when I was 17. When I joined, Upper Trestles was the center of everything. Chris McIlroy, who was at the height of his career as a shaper at the time Everyone, starting with the team, was surfing amazingly well. Dino Andino is also a fan of this "Rad Ripper" It was a flat rocker board and it was sharp. The Rad Ripper is also great for gentler waves like the Treasure Islands and small waves. It is possible to make large, slow turns and is also compatible with waves that lack power. This is the Rad Ripper
