Introducing board art by RYDER, a new painter from LOST. Ryder is the third girl out of MAYHEM's four children. Influenced by her mother, Kelly, she has loved art since she was a child. About two years ago, I started drawing art on the surfboards of my team riders. People who saw the team riders riding the boards with the art on them said, Its unique hand-painted art has been well received, We are receiving an increasing number of custom orders from customers around the world specifying ART by RYDER. Everyone in Japan can also place custom orders with ART by RYDER, Please specify if you wish. The same designs as those introduced here are also possible, You can also order a custom ART by RYDER designation in a different color of your choice.

Learn moreNEW 2019 model! Asymmetrical tailboard "MAYSYM" now on display in Maysym stores!
2019 NEW model! Asymmetrical tailboard "MAYSYM" We would like to inform you that Maysim products are now on display in stores. The left side is for goofy stance, The right side is for regular stance. For goofy stance For regular stance There is this hook channel towards the tail on the toe side. For most surfers, turning on the front side is easier and more flexible, as it allows them to control turns with their toes, so the hook channel allows them to push the tail rail more to make a tight, straight turn on the inside, or to apply weight slowly and for a long time to make a big, long drive turn. The heel side is a round tail. It is easier to make bottom turns on the backside, and it is better for top turns, lip action, carving, etc. on the heel side than a symmetrical tail. The design improves rotation and makes it easier to control the board with agility. By changing the shape of the left and right tails, we were able to increase the width of the tail area. LOST's new model, MAYSYM, has a wide tail, which gives it the advantage of being able to maintain speed in small, powerless waves or slow sections of the waves. Kolohe and Griffin also like to ride the MAYSYM for relaxing private surfing during the off-season. The MAYSYM is a model with a playful design that is typical of LOST and aimed at average surfers. A video of them riding this new LOST model, the MAYSYM, has also been filmed, so look forward to it being released soon!
Learn moreFor adults to ride with elegant lines! A new design has been developed for the classic "RNF-REDUX" model!
Nishii previously consulted MAYHEM about the following. "Most people usually ride boards that are around 5'8", so they don't like mid-length boards like 6'6", I want you to design a board that adult surfers can ride gracefully and with big lines. "It can be used at crowded points, in thick waves, and when the waves are a little larger than usual, For example, it's a board that can be ridden in big waves at the usual surfing spots, where you don't even need a semi-gun. "Even if the outline is beautiful and the width is wide, it should not be too thick, just like a dolphin. I want it to be a size that hasn't been available in LOST or by other manufacturers so far. "The rails are as thin as possible, making the board more maneuverable and less noticeable." Mayhem's answer was, So I thought I'd try refining the AKU file for my most confident work, "RNF-REDUX"! And these two sizes were completed! The new dimensions are "RNF-REDUX" 5'10" and 6'0". 5'10" x 20.0 x 2.32 / 30.0cl 6'0" x 20.25 x 2.38 / 32.25cl With this design and dimensions, you can do the dolphin action needed in big waves, and you can also ride gracefully in small waves! We have completed a special "RNF-REDUX" model with a new design and longer length that has never been seen before. Stay tuned for more information on this special RNF-REDUX model!
Learn moreFreshly taken! Offshore at Huntington Beach PLACEBO "EL-DIABLO PLUS"!
This photo was taken yesterday in Huntington Beach, where a rare offshore wind is blowing in California. Ride on PLACEBO "EL-DIABLO PLUS" Check out Chucky's photo. Huntington Beach is famous for its pier. Looking at the Huntington Beach Pier with the shore at your back and the sea in front of you, The south side on the left is called Southside Pier. There was a nice sandbar in front of the second lifeguard tower from the South Side Pier. The sandbar at Southside Pier had waves that were ridable from both right and left, just like a reef point break. What's more, the wind is blowing offshore, which is rare in California, so the waves are amazing! "Chucky" was also in top form, appearing to be even better than usual. The waves were good and the sea was crowded with surfers one after another. "Chucky" was riding selected waves with good sets that he knew because he was a local. The board that "Chucky" rode is now available at a great price. “EL-DIABLO PLUS” FLEX-LITE HYPER!
Learn moreWorld premiere! Get factory photos of the cork suspension "C4"!
Nishii has been riding this board for over 20 years and continues to say it is his number one LOST model. The RNF model is also famous as the world's first high-performance FISH board. The latest model of LOST's best-selling long-selling model, the RNF, is the Conomark RNF-REDUX. Nishii has ridden the `` DIABLO-X '' and `` RNF-RETRO '' models and praised the quality of the board material with the ``C4'' cork suspension technology, and now he can ride it on the top model `` RNF-REDUX ''! Nishii's recently completed personal board is this 5'5" RNF-REDUX C4. And here is the world's first photo of a C4 cork, which is the title of this blog! A 1.5mm thick cork sheet is installed over the entire deck surface above the foam, so there's always a cork sheet wherever a surfer's feet rest. The cork sheet is coated with a dazzling "Sparkle White Paint," and although the cork is only visible through the carbon stringer line in the center of the deck and the carbon patch panels on both tails, the cork sheet covers the entire deck. C4 has two main purposes. For strength, the cork sheet makes the deck stronger than any other surfboard. For performance reasons, it reduces deceleration caused by unnecessary vibrations while riding. This is the second photo of a C4 cork, the first of its kind in the world! Place in a clear plastic bag to create a vacuum and press it in place. Using vacuum technology, a 1.5mm thick cork sheet is applied to the entire deck! The C4's Cork suspension technology reduces deceleration caused by uneven sea vibrations, Become one with the water and move quickly and effortlessly across the surface of the waves! This is a model that Nishii has been riding for over 20 years and still raves about! We now have a stockboard in stock that allows you to ride the ``RNF-REDUX'' with C4 cork suspension technology! This RNF-REDUX model is a masterpiece among LOST's masterpieces, so if you haven't ridden one yet or if you want to experience the cork suspension technology of the C4, be sure to give it a try!!! Experience the comfortable cork suspension and the rebound that only a cork board can provide, which is unique to the C4 among all surfboard technologies in the world! The board is light to hold and ride!
