The deck would be considered a moderate vee deck, leaving ample thickness along the stringer, but angling rapidly to soft, forgiving rails. It also makes sense why Jordy preferred it in the kinky, dumpy, quick waves in the beginning of the film, over the long arcing walls of J-Bay. It also explains why Dane felt it would be good “at Salt Creek”. This is why I feel it’s a good and easy-to-ride board, even in moderate surf by moderately skilled “shortboarders”. There is a healthy amount of rail rocker under the back foot, which allows the tight-radius arcs that Mick was doing, and provides that “tail lift” that Dane described. The noses have been widening over the last couple years, and the outlines in the tail more smoothly curved, with no dramatic hip or breaks. The concave would be moderately deep at most, with a semi-shallow double racing through the fins. The tail rocker sits right in the middle of what I would consider a WCT tail rocker. The rocker is moderate, with a more relaxed entry than years past, but not what you could call low. You’d be hard-pressed to say anything stands out as noticeably obvious. If I had to describe the board simply, it’s what I consider to be our status quo, high-performance, modern shortboard.

That board was an experimental shape I did for Kolohe, but he picked it up and said it was too small, so Griff snagged it.) Over the next 18 months I really started evolving the DRIVER from that board, and in July, I was almost ready to launch the 2.0, when Stab called to request the boards. (Its origin is based on the board Griffin rode at Snapper/Kirra during his break out rookie run in ‘18. I had to do a couple of them twice, then Tony C glassed them. I was there on holiday, with my family, so I whipped up the files, then Wayne Lowen transferred them from AKU to Shaped3D. The boards were shaped in Aus, at our factory near Kirra. What is the name of the board you provided, and what are its prominent features? It’s a nice validation to our hard work with our CT team, because they really drive these designs. Especially Mick, because he’s such a finely-tuned, technical master. It feels good to know the guys liked the boards. With Dane and Mick both picking my board, it’s like winning two of them and getting another second. I never went into one of these expecting to win. I still feel like there’s a lot of luck involved. I guess you guys saying “finally“, it’s a compliment, like you always expected it. Stab: No longer the bridesmaid! How’s it feel to finally win one of these things? Let’s chat with Mayhem about the board that made him king (for a year). Best Mayhem I’ve ever had, and I’ve had some good ones.”ĭane : “I think it would work good at Salt Creek or something.” I pushed it as hard as I could and it would just stay in there.
Mick : “As soon as I jumped on this, everything felt connected. This is Mayhem’s first SITD win in five attempts, but he’ll tell you that it counts as two-and-a-half wins, which puts him right at the top of the pack.īelow you’ll find one notable and two subdued quotes on the …Lost board by their esteemed riders:

Spoiler alert: …Lost Surfboards’ Matt Biolos won the All-Stars edition of Stab in the Dark, earning top honors from Dane and Mick plus a runner-up from Jordy Smith.
