MAYHEM - THE PLANK - SURFBOARD - 5'8" IN SOUTH AFRICA

POLLYWOG IS STOKED TO PRESENT THIS SICK SURFBOARD FROM MAYHEM! At Pollywog we understand one very important fact when it comes to surfboards, knowledge is power! Matt Biolos is one of the global leaders in surfboard design and technology, always on the cutting edge of design and new material construction. With a global surf team of note providing constant feedback, you can be sure that your board is packed with years of research and development, to give you the maximum amount of help while surfing. This ensures hours of fun in the water and the ability to improve your surfing rather than fighting with equipment that is not right for you. Matt visits South Africa at least once a year to check in on the factory and off course surf the amazing waves we are blessed with here in South Africa. He knows and understands the various wave set ups here in South Africa which is priceless when it comes to getting you the right board. When it¿s really small and mushy you can forget the long board. Originally inspired after trying a friend¿s ¿Mini Simmons¿ twin keel, retro board in knee high lumps. The board was fast and fun, but I couldn¿t really lay into it. Motivated to do better, I hand shaped a ¿Green Foam¿ recycled fish blank and attacked the 6¿0¿ blank like a high school sculpture project¿. keeping in mind the unique glide of that ¿Simmons¿. The blank was pretty thin, so I left the deck flat. It¿s really wide, so no concave. Looking for ridiculous glide, but demanding aggressive turning, I left it really straight rockered, but did a little flip out the back. I made it a strong bump, diamond tail. In place of the twin keels, wanting a more reliable feeling, I chose to make it a quad, and used a Future Fins solid glass fin we have been playing with as the template. That first ¿Plank¿ was about 6¿0¿ x 22¿ x 2.5¿ full, and was the easiest board I have ever ridden in waves I would normally only bother with on a long board. The ¿Plank¿ catches anything and does full rail roundhouse cutbacks on 10¿ high lumps of water. If you like the way it looks, and want a truly unique and extreme small wave tool to keep you off that log, then think about custom ordering one of these. I guarantee you won¿t be let down.
