Learn moreSho Kobayashi won the race riding the 2019 model "MAYSYM" currently under development!
MAYHEM is currently distributing the 2019 new model "MAYSYM" to the LOST team, who are collecting feedback and test data. Riding this model, he won the Special Class at the recent 31st Southern California Japanese Surf Contest! He was riding the "MAYSYM" and performing some incredible maneuvers while maintaining his speed. His younger brother, Kei Kobayashi, who is well known to everyone, also performed his signature air reverse. In the final, he was unable to beat his brother Sho in the overall score of the two runs, and came in second place, making it a showdown between brothers. The other day, I reported on this blog that Kolohe was riding the "MAYSYM" model for the first time, Later, Nishii also test rode the rumored model "MAYSYM". The "MAYSYM" model has different tail shapes on the left and right, The left and right turn performance and movement are different, It gives you a sharp surfing experience! It's easy to turn the board at the top on the front side and it rotates well! Kolohe is on tri-fins! Nishii is MR TWIN + STB, Sho Kobayashi drives a QUAD, so please take his preferences into consideration! Note that the mark is the model name "MAYSYM"!
Learn moreNishii scores consecutive 9p to win the Southern California Japanese Surf Contest!
I participated in the Legend Class at the 31st Southern California Japanese Surf Contest held last Sunday. Nishii won with a string of 9-point rides. I went to Church Point in Trestles many times to decide which board to ride. After testing the boards, I chose the 5'7" DIABLO-X CARBON WRAP, which suited the wave conditions. This board is really good and is currently sold out at Love Surf, but will be restocked by the end of October. We are accepting pre-orders now! The double springback speed increase function of the CARBON WRAP material itself helps There was one ride that the WSL judges gave 10 points. In the special class, the final showdown between brothers "Sho" and "Kei Kobayashi" was a sight to behold! I will report on the barrier next time! The photos taken on this day have been uploaded to the following link. There are so many of them, about 1,700 in total, that they are divided into two parts. 2018 31st Southern California Japanese Surf Contest [Part 1] 641 sheets https://photos.app.goo.gl/wAS5J76Co4R4YjW67 [Part 2] 1060 sheets https://photos.app.goo.gl/iepB1TMw499Xvgqm9 Please take your time to look around!
Learn moreI got to ride the brand new LOST "MAYSYM" test model!!
Freshly made! Asymmetrical tail shape! I rode the LOST "MAYSYM" model!! Because it is for Nishii's regular stance, There is a sharp hook on the toe side to drive, The heel side has a rounded shape with a rounded inward cut, so it turns tightly towards the back. The design makes turning left and right more efficient and easier without putting strain on the rider. In this first photo, The tail sinks down, making it easy to step in even on flat waves! This is LOST's new model "MAYSYM"! Nishii's MAYSYM board measures 5'5"! Look forward to its release as a 2019 model!
