That kid Connor is kinda fcking shredding that Evo.
He should have probably tried the 5'3 though.
The video of Garrett on the Mayhem look sped up. Flying!
Some of those boards looked like turds! Not saying which ones.
Those guys scored amazing waves for a board test.

The Mayhem review doesn't make sense. In the video he says its a 5'8, 18 1/8, 2 1/8 and it looks like a HPSB. The ones I've seen are way stubbier and probably wouldn't go so well in head high indo. I could be wrong but seems like they either highly altered or threw the model logo on one of HPSB shapes.

The best ridding 5'8s did not have as much flow thru like the 6' Super Brand board
All working great but that added length allowed for harder everything - not having to reduce or control your pressure in turns .

I agree Greg, that Super looked great.
V2 looked fun. His surfing was great but kind of twitchy? A little too much out of the water?
The EVO was disappointing to me. Looked like it surfed flat and not on rail.

That evo looked like absolute crap. Actually, I didn't watch all the boards but most of them look like crap. Mayhem looks the best imo.
I dont know, that first wave on the evo looked legit to me.kool-aid said:
Maybe it's the kids style, try and watch his other videos on the test.
The boards that had different planshapes from the standard hpsbs drew different lines.kool-aid said:
Not everyone wants to surf hpsb style so its good to see the boards tests these days throwing in a few odd ball shapes to show how they go.
Maybe its because I learnt to surf in the late 70's that I really appreciate seeing the varied lines that are surfed on non hpsbs.
If you read his pre-test review, he seems to think it's a groveler and rode it in the most mushburger left of the trip and the smallest right. His post-test review said it wasn't what he expected. Wish he would have rode it in the big left that the Mayhem got ridden in.Retropete said:
I was commenting more on the other boards (Outer islands, Mote, Cornice) when talking about the different planshaped boards.
The Evo looked the goods for in the pocket carves.

Some cool shapes here too.

They don't have all the videos embedded, but if you view at Vimeo you can see them there.
I like the DMS Gherkin:

Hah...
Didn't even bother looking at the "funboard" tests.
That gherkin looked fun as.
I've had a DMS fish and a mini-simmons and they both went great.

Good (great!) surfing by AP in that fun board (eh?) test. How the hell does he turn that DMS Gherkin so hard when it's got a, what, 19" tail?
I really wanted to like that Gravelle, but somehow it didn't look that good under his feet. Would love to one day get a step up from Gravelle, though.
IMHO, the best looking boards were the DMS Gherkin, Lost PJ, and the CW twinnie.
It would have been interesting to see those boards in truly awful waves - knee high, gutless slop - but nice to see how hard they could be surfed.
