What flashback was shaped by "MAYHEM" today?
This is a blank (board) with the AKU machine, with the form cut completed and before the shaping process. This is a 5'5" FLASHBACK model for LOST team rider Mason Ho. Mayhem found the cut blanks and immediately began shaping them. Mayhem's shaper temperament is such that he wants to try anything he finds immediately. The nose is boldly sanded down to create the standard 80's style FLASHBACK shape. When the machine cuts from the rail to the center, going back and forth from the nose to the tail, Smoothes any line-like irregularities that appear. The rails are then smoothed and fine-tuned along the edges. It is used in the FLASHBACK model. The two round shapes on the tail cannot be cut with the AKU machine, In this way, after roughly hand-cutting with a Japanese saw It was carefully shaped into a bat tail design. MAYHEM just returned from a trade show in Florida a week ago. For sale in 2011 from a surf shop in the USA They seemed to be busy as they were receiving a flood of stock board orders. BLACKSHEEP, FLASHBACK, DRIVER orders are new models Apparently there are many. These three models are worth keeping an eye on this year!

Today's waves at Lower Trestle. The waves are good enough, The swell direction seems good and it has some size. I went to UPPER. California recorded record rainfall in December. Thanks to that rain, the river mouth that had been closed during the summer opened up like this, The sandbar creates an ideal terrain. Today there are some deep and thick waves, so we'll be using Placebo/SCORCHER/FLEXLITE. If you look closely, you'll see that the surfboard rack next to your bike also has... Placebo/UBERFISH. The fins are AUROLA 4.5. When you look at the fin from the side, you can see that the microfiber is attached and the hardness is different between the front and rear. The rear flexes like a fish fin, adding speed to turns. The front two fins are inside foils (concave) which allow the board to flip easily at the top of the wave. The Placebo 5'9" SCORCHER and the AUROLA 4.5 MFF fin are a great match.
Learn moreToday I rode the POWERQUEST with QUAD fins.
The waves at LOWERS have returned after a few days of no waves. There's a three-day weekend here until Monday, but it's winter in the ocean so it's not very crowded. I posted this on my previous blog, http://luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?m=20101231 Being able to test ride the board on machine-break waves like the test course is This makes it very easy to compare board performance. Today I rode the POWERQUEST with QUAD fins. This is AUROLA FLEX-FIVE. In conclusion, I prefer the TRI setting for POWERQUEST. The QUAD fin I setting seems to work better in waves that are a little thicker or less powerful. This is an individual thing, so when riding the POWERQUEST, you should try both. POWERQUEST has a tail like AQ, RNFQ5 and SPEEDQUEST. It is also not as wide as the original CONQUSET model. The tail end is narrowed down by the EVW and two channels towards the tail. He analyzed that this was due to the design. This is a side view of the board. The rocker is more than the CONQUET, so the board feels much lighter and moves better. As I wrote yesterday, this POWERQUEST model is very good at cutbacks, both in TRI and QUAD. Especially when you've run too far and want to get to the tip of the wave and return to the curl. You can easily perform the roundhouse cutback you want to perform. When setting up the rail during cutback, if the rail is usually thick, It's difficult because it requires leg strength to keep the rails submerged for a long time. The buoyancy of the rails prevents stalling due to excessive sinking of the rails. While hooking with 2 channels and EVW, The rails are designed to be long and easy to put into the water. I was impressed that Mayhem really understood the moves that Japanese players struggle with. I also tried it out in sideshore conditions and the board performed great! This is a new model that we can't wait for you to try!

Yay! Mayhem! You've designed another masterpiece. Above all, the effect of this two-channel elevator wing is amazing! Of all the Mayhem Design boards I've ever tried, this one has the best cutback. You can maintain your speed without stalling!!! The bottom two-channel speed increase performance, It's easy to make a big roundhouse cutback. The spray also said, "It's sticking out more than usual on that board." That's what he said! I'm so happy. Also, even if you are not good at backside turns, The two-channel bottom speed increase allows for smooth turns. This prevents the rail from digging into the bottom of the backside! This is an amazing effect! Today I rode in a waist-chest sized wave with little power, The outline from the center to the nose of the board is the same as the Conquest, It's thinner than the Conquest, but the takeoff is still fast enough. With Conquest, you can paddle as well as other people, Once you are able to do the upswing and take turns, I recommend moving on to POWRQUEST. The positioning of POWERQUEST's board performance is as follows: Think of this board as somewhere between the CONQUEST and high-performance models such as the F1-STUB and SCORCHER. As the model name suggests, This model uses a large line to create the image of power surfing. I forgot my QUAD fin set today, so I rode with TRI, but Mayhem recommends I'll also try the QUAD, which seems like it would be faster and easier to drive.

Learn moreMAYHEM boards are coveted and desired by top surfers.
Today, I went to the LOST surfboard warehouse. The finished boards are stored here. Among them, there are not only the team riders' boards, There were boards from world-class surfers other than the team. Let me introduce it to you all. Gorkin's boards have the team's planet mark on the nose. These are Schoenbeschen's boards for Hawaii. These boards with fluorescent yellow rails are for Mason Ho. This is a WHIPLASH for Precevo's new team rider, Ben Bourgeois. Recently, CJ has been fond of short GROCKETs. Apparently there are more than 10 orders. What about Julian Wilson??? As rumored, he's F1-STUB! Julian Wilson is the 2011 model! I ordered three bottles of BLACKSHEEP! This is Jordy Smith, and they seem to be constantly ordering refills of F1-STUB. He likes it so much that he has F1-STUB magic boards in stock. Even if Mayhem isn't sponsored, Top surfers also want it and want to ride it. This proves once again that this is a well-designed surfboard!

Nishii arrives at "CALIFORNIA" and immediately infiltrates "LOST"! These are the waves on T-STREET. Apparently the waves in the San Clemente area have been small recently. This is the familiar LOWERS wave. Even though it's a small wave, there are sets like this. Since it's winter, the water temperature is so cold that it's a good idea to wear boots. We immediately went to Lost's surfboard factory. This is the board that Mayhem was shaping in the shaping room. This board is Kolohe's favorite, with EPS and straight carbon at the bottom. It was one of the stock boards being sent to Japan. The carbon goes straight into the bottom, so the Mayhem sign is on the deck side. There are many PARALELL FLEX boards lined up inside the factory. These are then wrapped in resin and cloth to complete the shape. The boards are then transported to a glass shop, completed, and sent to Japan. And here's today's first scoop! This is the new model POWERQUEST PARALELL FLEX board!

『 BLACKSHEEP 』 2011 LOST new model information released! "Black Sheep" For users who want to ride any wave with just their usual magic board Features of BLACKSHEEP ・For those who want to ride a familiar board that always feels good! - "Lock" deck design to prevent wipeouts ・For intermediate and above level players. ・Knee to overhead size recommended. Designed for users who want to ride any wave with just their usual magic board. What do you think would happen if you combined two of our most popular designs? What if you rode the nose of a rocket with the tail of a sub-scorcher? We did it, and the result is one of the best boards we've ever made. A thick, short hybrid board with the drive and power to turn on the rails. The outline of the rocket's nose, the rocker, that gave it its speed And on the foil, a wide tail flat rod to get the sub-scorcher VEE. A combination of cars. The rear outline and rocker are straighter than the Rocket, Surfers can fly across flat or weak waves that rockets can't. VEE allows for control and rail-to-rail tilting. The Super Swallowtail helps you to move smoothly from rail to rail. Gradually reduce the speed, add more bite, and take a bold, hard turn. I want to ride a rocky wave with ease. However, I don't want to increase the volume, so I want a flat rocker design that will allow me to lie flat on my stomach. If you don't want to ride an inboard, this is the answer. The deck has a double concave to create a "back stance" shape. Footlock deck design locks the rear foot to prevent wipeouts Specifications: The gentle tail rocker and gentle tail shape make it easy to use even with a thruster. This board is good for both decks. (The deck grip is a back foot "lock" deck.)
