My first foray into asymmetric designs was in the winter of ‘92. I was influenced by the
best snowboard I had ever owned (up to that point) a NITRO “PYRO”(see photo of
board), twin tip, asymmetric snowboard. It was the first board I ever rode that I could
properly carve a heel edge on. It spurred my interest in the concept, but I only made a
couple asym surfboards at the time, and soon lost interest. Around the turn of the
century, after reading an asym article in Surfers Journal, in 1999, I re-visited them,
making a few HPSBs, for an early Mentawais trip. One of which was easily one of my
all-time best boards to that point. Once again, I soon neglected the design. About ten
years later, inspired by the resurgence of asym popularity, we made a few for Aaron
“Gorkin” Cormican, with winged swallow on the toes and round pin on the heels.

This specific board, the “MAYSYM”, is based around our “V2-StubRocket”, a small wave
specific, spin off of the original “Rocket” (which was popular when I started developing
this board). I worked on it periodically, for over 5 years, and feel that due to the work
of guys like Ekstrom and young Ryan Burch, among others, to popularize asymmetric
designs, the time is becoming right to actually offer these designs to the public. For me,
asymmetries help most when applied to high volume boards. On a narrow / thin, low

The general concept is we all surf with different leverage on our heels, vs our toes. Heel catch-ability, and ease of speed generation… especially on heel turns (back side bottom
turns are more abrupt, without the ability to “feather” our rail pressure with supple ankles turns or front side pocket turns are most effected), so I began to take surface area out
and toes. Contrary to common misconception, Asymmetrical boards are not for “going of the heel rail on my wide Rocket tails, turning them into Round tails, and then slowly
right or left”, or “backside or frontside” but are designed to work in symmetry with a natural offsetting the centerline, as well as adding more rail rocker to the wider side of the tail,
or goofy footed surfer. They’re almost always designed to be more forgiving on the heels and other subtle adjustments to try and neutralize the difference between heel and toe
body mechanics. The MASYM is the result.
(usually done by reducing surface area or shortening rail line) with more resistance on the
toes (a wider, straighter, or longer rail and or rocker line).

These are genial asyms, attempting simply to make riding a really wide short board
easier, when transitioning from heel to toe. The fins are set the same. No offset fin
marks. No inverted pickle fork noses, and no over the top offset rockers or extreme
curves. One of my favorite design ethos is “Don’t get loose until you have control”.
I’ll let other vanguard shapers push the limits of balancing visual shock and actual
function.

We offer each size in Regular of Goofy footed build. I’ve painstakingly designed
each board/size/regular/goofy, and worked closely with AKU Shaper, so each is
pre-cut specifically asymmetrically. The tail is already pre-shaped into the blank,
before we hand fine tune the single channel, and fine tune the rest of the shape.
This gives previously unmatched consistency to the boards, bringing a once rogue
and “underground” design to the surf shop customer.

We hope you go out on a limb and try one. You won’t be disappointed.

The EVIL TWIN. In addition to its convertible, multi-fin, adjustability, the most unique feature is its elevated “e-wing”. I was turned on

The EVIL TWIN Features:

• MR inspired Flat deck, and steep, tucked soft, rails, combined with a shallow single concave through the center.
• Low tail rocker, with deep double concave vee, which works with the rounded pin tail, to balance speed with control.
• Wide forward outline, with low entry rocker, that glides effortlessly.

Built exclusively with Futures fins and boxes, the EVIL TWIN offers a myriad of performance options, each offering a unique

when referring to the owner of a business or industry.
EL PATRON’ is essentially my personal surfboard. A contemporary,
performance short board scaled up and refined to be ridden, and properly
perform, with generous dims and higher volume.

It’s easy to inflate any model to larger dims, but another thing altogether,
for it to remain nimble, responsive and forgiving. For me, this board does
just that. Like so many of us, I’ve long since felt relegated to riding
Hybrids, or Fishy, wide nose, lower rockered boards. Crowds, getting

as well as the fact that I never was a Pro, or a hot shot surfer, have
combined to make it difficult to continue riding modern Pro-fomance

The SMOOTH OPERATOR is a trim and turn
machine. High volume, low rails and tons of fun.
We’ve souped them up with a 4+1 fin set up, offering
a myriad of options and performance characteristics.

The SMOOTH OPERATOR is our modern twist on the classic mid-length,


double ender. I’ve become more interested in not only designing and building
this genre of board, but also inspired to really learn how to ride them. It was
sparked by previous dalliances with mid-length, semi-performance boards, like
the “Lazy Toy” and “EZ-UP”. These boards, with their Wayne Lynch/Evolution
inspired vee bottoms and rounded noses, were forgiving and easy to ride,
but essentially glorified fun boards. More recently, we developed the Crowd
Killer, more of an over inflated pump and rip stick, with its hyper extended nose
rocker and equally aggressive tail rocker. While high volume and performance
minded, the Crowd Killer does not possess the effortless glide and horizontal
trim of a classic mid length. The SMOOTH OPERATOR does. Built around an
exaggeratedly low entry rocker, forward wide point and thickness flow, and a
nose and tail that measure the same width at both 12” and 24”, the SMOOTH
OPERATOR paddles and glides like nothing ever adorned with a …Lost or
Mayhem logo. That’s not to say it doesn’t turn though!
After riding, dissecting and assessing some contemporary and classic
mid lengths currently available, I concluded they all could use a bit more
tail rocker! The SMOOTH OPERATOR has just that. A generous (dare

speed, and precision turns- with Mayhem’s small wave performance prowess.

A Modern, single to double concave, twin + trailer


“Fish”, based off MR’s most popular modern
shortboard...The SuperTwin. Mark allowed me the
honor of tweaking his iconic #SuperTwin model to
create a modern, user friendly, small wave weapon.
We dramatically lowered the entry rocker, widened
the nose and tail block, and added a couple inches
of width to the overall outline, giving gobs of glide
in gutless surf. We flattened the deck for stability,
but retained MR’s classic speedy, down soft rails
and his modern performance tail rocker…Ensuring
it still turns proper and precise. Flat where it needs
to be, but still curvy in the right spots, and skates
along but still turns in tight spots. This is a Fish that
you can grovel the small stuff, but still really rip on.

“The “Son Of Cobra” (Paul Lefevre) is world renowned for


his ResinWorks artistry, but Paul is equally adept at the craft
of shaping. I’ve said for years that Paul may be the most
naturally talented, all around board builder, that I’ve worked
with in all my years” - Matt Biolos.

The COBRA KILLER is first and foremost, a Post Modern


Twin-fin. Designed around Paul’s unique, and exceedingly
deep, double concave bottom. It really piqued my interest to
pair it with one of our proven models. We effectively merged

The RNF-RETRO is our latest spin on the always evolving
#RoundNoseFish. It features noticeable elements from the
purist (mostly San Diego influenced) evolution of wide, split
tailed “Fish” and smashes them together with much of what
I have learned in nearly 25 years of shaping and riding the
RNF. First off, the tail is wide for that effortless glide and
retro vibe. Coming in at over 10” from tip to tip, and 4” deep,
it’s the deepest and widest split tail we’ve released. The
board prominently features a snowboard-esque, double side
cut outline. Strongly influenced by years of snowboarding,
and then seeing the boards of underground SD shapers like
Mirandon, Lis, Frye, Caster, and Pavel, we first developed and
released our double side cut on the “Pelagic” model in the late
2000’s. Like with a snowboard, the sidecut “grips” the riding
surface and allows for more radical, tighter radius direction
changes on wider, otherwise difficult to turn sharply, outlines
and flat rockers. The side cuts hook into the wave face and
turns surprisingly sharp, without the usual drift or skip or slip,
associated with common wide tail fish shapes. Staying with
the fishy retro vibe, the #RNF-RETRO features a very flat deck
with a defined, steeply angled rail, but tucked under soft into
the bottom. The flat deck allows the board to be ridden thinner,
which enables more flex. These elements are built around
our time tested and proven RNF rocker bottom curves. The
RNF-RETRO is flat up front with the slightest of single concave
through the center, and a spiral vee from the fins back. This
equates to a fast, yet precise and comfortable, familiar ride,
without sacrificing glide. Keels are fast and fun, but Split Keels
perform better. The RNF-RETRO is designed to be ridden with
Split Keels, or a Twin + Two (small trailers) Quad setup. We
created a special subdued, era reminiscent, model specific
logo just for this board. The RNF-RETRO is built standard with
#SonOfCobra designed Tints and Opaque Resin craftwork for
that proper look and feel.

Cork, being a natural living and growing plant (harvested repeatedly from a living tree) is a renewable and sustainable resource. No trees
are chopped down. The Cork “bark” is periodically “harvested”, with no harm to the tree, which then slowly re-grows its Cork shell. Cork is
the only truly renewable, natural living material used in surfboard construction today. A stark contrast to the typical (harmful and toxic) PVC
foam sandwich shells and “stringers” used in most all other sandwich construction surfboards today.

SWALLOW ROUND

Matt Biolos C4 Floater


The CROWD KILLER is a natural evolution and refinement of
2018’s instantly popular Crowd Killer; naturally brought us to a
clean and simple round tail. The Crowd Killer Round in contrast
to the original Crowd Killer with a double wing swallow tail, the
Crowd Killer Round’s round Tail is more forgiving and easier
to turn in better waves, and at high speeds. Less tail area
means more control, and smooth turns. Relaxed surfing, with
more range in a variety of conditions. The Crowd Killer Round
features essentially the same rocker and foil as the Crowd
Killer, but we have reduced the concave a bit, lowered the rail
volume and added some curve to the outline. The size scale,
and standard dims are adjusted as well, so that the Crowd Killer
Round can be ridden a bit longer without added volume. A very
clean and no frills update to an already well received board, es-
pecially for those with aversions to multiple wings and swallow
tails. Dependable and ridiculously easy to surf from tiny surf to
the largest days in most parts of the USA/World.

M-Rod Photo: Muller CARBON WRAP™ Is a patented surfboard technology, structurally engineered for optimum flex and
performance. Originally created by Gold Coast surfboard manufacturer, Dan MacDonald, to be light
weight without sacrificing strength and provide next level performance. Carbon Wrap eliminates the
standard wooden stringer, alters traditional flex principles and re-envisions the way a surfboard’s flex
patterns are created and controlled.

Ultra-light, EPS cores are “wrapped” in an exoskeleton of strategically positioned, carbon fiber bands.
Aligned together at the nose, they gradually curve outward towards the rails. The curve creates and
controls a unique torsional flex that livens up as it nears the tail, just in front of the fins. The carbon
then “wraps” from the bottom, around the rails and onto the deck. This unique method creates Carbon
Wrap’s lively flex that loads and releases...resulting in next level speed and drive.

Running along the rails, on the deck, the carbon acts as a rear foot power point, (increasing drive and
control) and a patch to minimize pressure denting. Using optically brightened epoxy resin, the boards
are encased with a proprietary composite of fiberglass and our exclusive carbon deck inlay, which is
strategically positioned to add fast re-flex memory under the surfer’s stance and allow subtle, natural deck caving around the arch of the
front foot. By tapering the carbon into long, pointed ends, forward and aft, the flex blends out naturally towards the nose and tail.

A full layer of 45degree “X-Glass”, encases the deck. The X-Glass’s flat, bi-axel weave dramatically adds strength without rigidity, or excess
weight and allows the board to maintain flex while alleviating crease points created by standard, 90degree fiberglass. The 45degree weave
radiates foot pressure outward, directly connecting the foot to a longer section of the rail, adding greater edge control.
