On the final day of the US OPEN, the LOST MAYHEM board won both the men's and women's competitions!
This is a report from the final day of the US Open. I think you already know the result. Kolohe and Mike P before Adriano's heat MAYEHM You look worried. Kolohe continued to focus on his heat as he did yesterday and won easily! Carissa made it through to the semi-finals with a string of high points! Alejo defeats Nat Young in the quarter finals! Kolohe is fired up for the final Carissa also enjoys riding the MAYHEM board. Kolohe looks happy after beating Adriano I always put air in. This was a failure, but it was amazing. I'd love to see some photos from underwater photographers. It's amazing how many people are coming. You can't count them. MAYHEM being interviewed after the final heat It looks like Alejo Moniz's magic board is pretty much up to snuff. Taylor Wright came from behind in the semi to finish third. Kolohe and his coach Mike P. look back on the heat after it finished. Alejo after the final heat Noah surfed every morning of the contest, just like Kolohe did a few years ago. A US Open specialty: dusty crowds From the pier towards Main Street Even those in the gallery who were supposed to be sitting during the final could not see the final unless they stood. In the women's category, Carissa Moore won her second US Open title! Alehomonet and the LOST MAYHEM board that won the MENS ASP PRIME event! The winners of both the men's and women's competitions were athletes riding the same LOST MAYHEM boards as you all. Kolohe was eliminated from the final heat as no waves came in the last 10 minutes and he was unable to catch any waves. I wanted Kolohe to win, but no matter who won the final, the rider riding the LOST MAYHEM board would be the winner. Following last year's JW, I'm very happy that the LOST MAYHEM board has won the US OPEN for the second year in a row.

Check out the photos from Julian Wilson's heat at the US Open. Photo by Hayato Masuda There is an oil drilling site off the coast of HB. The pier is packed with photographers. I need to get a spot to shoot early in the morning. There was cloud cover in the morning and a few minutes of light rain. Anyway, the gallery looks like this: There is a bicycle parking area under the pier. It's a SURF-spec FIAT. It's the same board as yesterday. JW was aiming for the left wave where yesterday's high point was. The top is also hollowed out, so the spray is flying. His style is not to stretch his body out here. This ride with its deep turns earned me a 9 point. The waves were bigger than yesterday, but the SET waves were closing out so I chose medium-sized waves. His low stance on the backside, with his arms open and balanced, is exemplary posture. I continued to challenge Showbit Air yesterday. "JW", using the new FCS2 plug, won easily. After the heat ends, JW is bombarded with signs like this and is unable to move. The local flight attendants will now be facing the morning of Saturday, July 27th. In Round 4 of the MENS, Kolohe and Julian will have a man-on-man rematch on the LOST MAYHEM board. The heat will start at around 0:30 Japan time on Sunday, July 28th. In the women's section, there will also be a LOST MAYHEM board showdown between "Coco" and "Carissa", Don't miss the live broadcast!

A report on the riders riding MAYHEM boards at the VANS US OPEN. Of the 16 MENS players, only four have advanced to the finals so far. There are 3 women out of 8. Photo by Hayato Masuda I got up at 5am and finished setting up. There was no one around, but as time went on, there was less space to sit. Kolohe appears! Coco Ho also practices in the morning, and of course it's on a MAYHEM board. Carissa is also in the morning practice group. He is Brazilian Alejo Moniz Mike Parsons, a former WCT surfer and Kolohe's coach, and Kolohe's board Both are FCS2 plugs. Kolohe and Mike were full of energy and you could see they were concentrating before their heat. Kolohe was taking off on most of the waves that came his way. On the other hand, JW carefully chose his waves. Kolohe performing tricks without fear of a wipeout JW was attacking the left wave from the backside again today. JW had many rides where he couldn't decide on the finish. If JW's last ride had been 7.5 points or more, he would have been able to turn the tables. Kolohe before the score for JW's Last Ride was announced Last year's winner was defeated due to lack of points. He looks disappointed. We will report on this board, which has a new system, at a later date. Even though he lost, JW was bombarded with signs and KA was on the table. This KA board is 5'10". JW/FCS2/DAKIN LEASH Next up is Ginger Lawson I tried my best but I lost in this round. He's this guy with blue eyes. This is Alejo. I was losing until the last few minutes, but I made a comeback with my last ride! We'll be playing Nat Young in tomorrow's quarterfinals. Taylor Wright, riding a SUB-DRIVER magic board in the women's category. She won. Moving on to tomorrow's semi-final. Apparently, he treasures this board. It has turned yellow. Carissa in a best friend showdown with Coco. Coco couldn't catch a good wave, It was a heat where only Carissa was catching waves. Carissa makes good use of the right of way and doesn't let Coco get in the way. They're best friends, but they're also opponents in the game. With Carissa who won easily, Coco, who lost, is especially popular with girls. She came up with a smile on her face. So stay tuned for tomorrow's report on the final day!
Learn more180 photos of JW and KA from "US OPEN" Photo by Hayato Masuda.
Ride the board shaped by MAYHEM for this contest. Focusing on photos of Julian Wilson and Kolohe Andino's heat, We are releasing all 180 photos taken by photographer Masuda, who accompanied us today. Magazines and websites only publish a few photos of successful techniques, There are many photos that you don't normally get to see, including some that weren't successful, so please enjoy them. JW during morning practice I used this board for morning practice, I came out to the game with a different board. JW gets out from the opposite south side, not from the pier. Kolohe is also from the south side. It seemed like JW was very conscious of KA. Challenge Kolohe's high score, JW This wave is a closeout so it's a pullout. I managed to make a few turns on this wave, but my riding didn't make it into the top two. This one-air ride with a beautiful landing was worth about 7 points. This was also successful and he managed to ride all the way to the inside as shown in the photo below. It's a long ride right under the pier. JW does a high point with three backside turns. If you look closely, you'll see that he uses different approaches by changing the way he turns. This will give you a higher score than doing the same turn three times. JW and KA fighting over the waves, Our hands are bumping. I was worried because I was involved with JW, who usually doesn't back down. JW didn't push himself too hard and gave way to KA. Kolohe is like this, Decide on a grab air, Even though I'm in this position, Make it and get a high score! JW was not to be outdone, On the next wave, a deep bottom turn Fly higher than Kolohe, Fly to a great place, I tried it but couldn't put on makeup. The two of them caught a total of about 25 fish in this heat, making it a heat that was like a complete air show. Kolohe said, Carving turns, He made the decision. I tried to spin the board, do some air and land, but I didn't complete it. JW's turn is deep. These two turns were complete. KA rotated at high speed, The air was also amazing. This was also a scary scene JW gave up the wave to KA again, and KA tried to go to the right, but After making sure JW wasn't coming, I went to the left. KA also didn't ride without forcing himself. This KA is also amazing, What do you think? It's a nice photo. You can really feel Kolohe's determination to pull it off. Unfortunately, it is not complete. JW also uses various techniques. I thought it was successful, but it didn't work. KA and JW once again fighting over waves This heat was a three-person heat and the other person was a sea bass, but he seemed to have injured his right ankle. He didn't seem to be in top form. JW seemed to be overwhelmed by KA's spirit. KA catches him again At this point, KA, who was in first place, was trying to prevent JW, who was in second place, from getting on the wave, so He blocks waves that JW is likely to ride and get a high score on. JW also attempted to make a comeback by performing highly difficult airs that would earn him a high score if he made them, but The winner of the heat was KA. KA is in 1st place and will jump up to the next round, JW is in 2nd and Seabass is in 3rd so we'll move on to tomorrow's man-on-man round. JW is the defending champion, having won the US Open last year, so he is extremely well-known and popular. In this heat, JW and KA fought over waves many times, but don't worry. They are such good friends in private that Mayhem, Coco, and Carissa all had dinner together last night. JW had declared that he would not be participating in the US Open this year, but there was a strong request from the organizers, He decided to participate in the event just before the event. MAYHEM had to make a board for him, It seems that it was made in a hurry. So, look forward to tomorrow's report on the US OPEN!

Luvsurf TV: MAYHEM "WHIPLASH-TB" by Brad Simpson Rider: Brett Simpson Board used: MAYHEM "DRIVER" FILM & EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a compilation of Brad Simpson's riding at Keramas in Bali, where he effortlessly maneuvers the WHIPLASH-TB model. This technique also allows you to jump over surfers who are dolphin-through and on the riding line. He also does a super high air, flying incredibly high. This trick is a must-see. Remove the fins, remove the tail, This is a technique where you ride the wave on the nose, then reverse your stance before returning to the normal position. Simpson (Brad Simpson) is a WCT surfer with a cool surfing style. His favorite model is the "WHIPLASH-TB" model, which matches his sharp riding style even with such large curves. This board is recommended for intermediate and advanced riders who want to move quickly in any situation, as it has the narrowest nose and tail width. This is LOST's super high performance model. Let's take a look at Shinpo's riding. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/70399637[/vimeo] This model has the lowest buoyancy (CL value) of all Lost Mayhem shape designs, so it requires ample paddling power. This model is for competitors who are aiming for average-level or above surfing with the utmost buoyancy. Riding with the utmost buoyancy allows for speedy and sharp surfing. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/whiplash-tb

Open your arms and balance your body. The direction of the face, where gaze is important, Where are you looking at in the waves? When heading into the next turn, keep your posture low to avoid losing speed. Pulling your knees in at the top, Always keep your body centered and open forward when riding , whether on the front or back side. Think of it as just reversing your stance.
