It allows you to climb to the top at a steeper angle. The rounded tail at the heel is designed to make the board change direction quickly and easily when flipping on the backside or top. This board is a great addition to your arsenal on crowded weekends like Shonan, where small waves can be a challenge. Even older surfers can catch waves faster with paddle speeds that rival pro surfers and fast-paddled kids. The hidden double concave, beveled bottom shape lifts the entire board and propels it forward as soon as you start paddling. It provides the propulsion you need to take off and launch from the swell, and the board floats and moves even after catching the wave, allowing you to move freely and with the agility of a performance board. This Japan-exclusive model features a vee at the bottom of the single wing and wide diamond tail. The vee is beautifully integrated with the double concave that extends forward from the front foot position. While the nose and tail are wide, the rails are tapered toward the tip, supporting the LOST's signature maneuverability. The board's very wide center section facilitates stable paddling and takeoff. If you're a surfer who likes small-wave beach breaks, the SHONAN WARRIOR is a board design you'll likely ride more often and use more frequently. This Japan-limited model was designed by world-class renowned shaper LOST Mayhem for Japanese seniors. LOST Mayhem himself expressed a desire to design the SHONAN WARRIOR, and design development began. Now, MAYHEM is proud of the finished product.
