Learn moreI'm relieved to hear that the LOST "AKU" machine has been restored.
This afternoon, I went to LOWERS. There's a bit of wind and the waves are the smallest they've been in weeks. That said, there was a set of this size. When you look into Lost's surfboard factory, The AKU machine was not working properly and was undergoing maintenance. If you neglect to clean the machine, foam powder will get clogged, and if you do not oil it regularly, This will make it harder to move and make it difficult to cut the foam accurately. This is what the AKU machine looks like from the back, opposite to the usual. In addition to AKU, LOST has another machine, This DSD machine is coming in handy today. However, the DSD machine can only cut the center stringer. This is because the machine fixes and cuts the center stringer like this. Each model is stored in front of Mayhem's desk. This is a data floppy disk for the DSD machine. Therefore, these upcoming parallel FLEX models could not be cut. By the evening, I was relieved to hear that the AKU machine had been restored.
Learn moreThe original "MAYHEM" logo was more complex than the current one!
It was a cold, rainy day in the Orange County area today. The waves at LOWERS were blown by a southerly wind, making them the worst during our stay. The T-STREET also had a bad wave surface, but the size was sufficient. At Lost Surfboard Factory, SURFBLANKS, They came to deliver a lot of forms. Immediately after delivery, Damien Hobgood Ian Walsh Benborg Order forms such as the following were attached. Here's a glimpse of Terry painting. This art takes three days to complete, including the drying time of each color. Here is Mayhem with a surfboard. This is a rare board from the time when sales first began. The Mayhem logo was also huge and more complex than it is today.

Today's waves at LOWERS . They were smaller than yesterday. I came to LOWERS with my coach and a photographer. Mayhem's new team riders, Coco and Carissa, Clear, the next generation girls team, was surfing. This is the monitor of the AKU machine at the Board Factory. The line where the round cutter passed will turn orange. Parallel Flex stringers come in a variety of colors. This color is made of wooden stringers and foam. It's a color that's been added to glue. This is what Mayhem has been testing recently. It has an asymmetrical tail. When I went to the surfboard warehouse, I found this at the XTR factory the other day. Jordy Smith's XTR board was finished.

Today, we will be introducing a popular board that is difficult to obtain even in CA. I went to the XTR factory. There are many different types of XTR. As expected, the high-end "3D CARBOLIC" seems to be popular. The difficult task of attaching Kevlar carbon to the nose is underway. Mr. POTO is the full-time staff here. We are working on wrapping and attaching Kevlar carbon rails to the glass. Here, the first layer of glass is being applied to the bottom. The FCS/FIN cup has additional reinforcement cloth like this. Habiyar says he is testing a variety of new resins and materials. Once completed, these boards are sent to Love Surf. This board only has the Mayhem logo, This is a Jordy Smith board.
