World Champion "Carissa Moore" Power Surf
Carissa Moore is the youngest World Champion in history. Of course, I rode a MAYHEM board and became a champion. She likes and uses the STEALT-PRO model and the F1-STUB model . She's a girl, so she wears accessories, but she doesn't break the board. They are good at surfing and have more power than the bad guys, I'm not satisfied with girls' contests, so I also participate in men's contests.

At the Prime event held in South Africa the other day Kolohe's riding video has been released. With a longer than usual round pintail board, he was doing well through barrels during practice before the contest. The title sponsor, MR PRICE, is a department store chain. There used to be an ASP event in Japan called Marui PRO. The coach is Mike Person, a legend from San Clemente, just like Kolohe. Warming up with jump rope. Good job! The shoes are of course Nike. Wax has been applied to the top of the feet. Kolohe has the skills to handle the big waves at Hole Hole, so he's sure to do well in the 2012 World Tour.

He seems to really like it, and I'm sure he regrets not trying the MAYHEM board until now. Mayhem was also there to watch the event today. When I asked him why so many Aussies were riding Mayhem boards, he said, Mayhem says that Australian shapers all shape the same standard boards, It seems that he is unable to keep up with the ever-evolving surfing demands of WT surfers.

Julian Wilson. New FCS plug for F1-SUTB model. There are a lot of Australians, and none of them are LOST/MAYHEM team riders, so they buy their boards at their own expense. He doesn't ride boards made by the main shaper, who is also his sponsor, but instead tries out a variety of boards and chooses the MAYHEM shape design board because it feels the best, just like everyone else. This proves that even at the level of an athlete group who can really tell the difference in the performance of the subtle details of a board, the balance and performance of the MAYHEM board shape design are excellent. The waves at this event are smaller than usual. Nishii will continue to film and post reports on his blog, so stay tuned!
