I like this focus. Dennis has a fresh batch of those at seaside surf. Hard to beat a colab
of mayhem and MR. How are you going to size it?

Yep felt up the stock 5'10" last week and was very tuned for a fishy shape. Nice thin foiled tail one thing that seems to be consistent with Mayhem. A hair more volume then my TPat for gravel abilities and age. I figure good starting point!

I wanted a custom stretchy before he gets too old to shape anymore and I wanted a more performance
twin since I sold my hpsb thruster. I had one session on it at everyone’s fave parking lot and it felt great.
Looking forward to riding it more.

Good point. Looks really good. CFT assuming? Is that a single wing I saw? I like how his HP boards are tuned down, yet still perform at the highest levels. Design is quite evident from surfing the kelpy reefs and points of SC Co that characteristically have a combo of flat and bowly sections. Maybe some legit testing waves for you this week.

MR still there I think, but this inflation is killing me rn. 500+ bones for a weeks worth of groceries. Hopefully a stimulus package out da back :!:

i blind-faithed a 5'10" mayhem evil twin a year or so ago, and it's become my go-to in almost everything. grovels really well, which i kinda expected. but the surprising thing has been how good it goes when it gets a bit bigger and more hollow. it's obviously not a full-on barrel hunter, but it holds really well and is crazy fast. it has a center box for a trailer or to go single-fin too, but i haven't felt the need to try either one cause it goes so good as a twinnie. i highly recommend

Nice harg. That model looks killer. Looks to have similar design characteristics as the Rad and Retro Rippers. The odds of Blind-faithing a Mayhem are usually pretty good. Have only had one I didn't click with.

Those look pretty nice too. The plasmic and EAST plasmic seem to have a stocked following.

Yah, single wing, swallow, CFT, fcs twin w/trailer box. 5'10" 30.9 cL. Running it with the fcs Power Twins.
Had it out in the best surf I've had in the past year and really liked it's response in HH to HH+ rights. Loose, fast and a real
bucket thrower. Does well on lefts as well. Nice blend of performance and utility range. Very stocked.
