If you decide to buy somewhere else or would like to support the show, please donate at https://www.paypal.me/surfnshow The new Lost “Maysym” is a great introduction to Asymmetrical surfboard design. This board has a Rocket tail with a longer rail line on the toe side and round tail with a shorter rail line on the heel side. The two different tails put together make it an Asymmetrical design to offer a different feel underfoot compared to your normal Symmetrical surfboard. On my toe side I could generate speed easily due to the longer rail line. It also has a single channel on the toe side adding extra tail rocker for traction, drive, and vertical pocket surfing. The heel side of this board has a round tail with a shorter rail line that enables you to turn faster on your front side cutbacks, top turns, and round house cutbacks. I also noticed the quick bottom turns backside due to the shorter rail line in addition to the drive and hold a round tail offers. The Maysym goes good front side and back side, and I highly recommend it as a small wave Groveler for 1-4’ waves. This board is ideal for intermediate to advanced level surfers looking for a fresh feeling under foot. Ride it as a Thruster for more pivot or ride it as Quad for a looser feel with a little extra speed. Board Dimensions: Stock 5’3” x 19.25 x 2.28 Liters 26.5 My Height: 5’9” Weight: 160 lbs or 72.57 kg
At one point I was using the Trace Unit and watch at the same time and neither stats were very close to one another. Maybe the newer version of Rip Curl Watch is better.
Stoked to hear it’s working good for you. Cheers.

Have you contacted Album about their asym?
Thanks!
This is the winner in stab in the dark
In smaller, tighter waves I use Medium Filipe in the side and aircore sml quad rears in the back. Feels great with all set ups.
My mate who works for Mayhem also swears by the Lge Hayden set up as a quad.
It seems that the majority of testing is done on point waves
Could you comment on how a boards performance would translate over to beachbreak?
Which would be your faves for fast and punchy beachbreak?
Thanks
Your the #1

i really appreciate your work, and i was really waiting for this, but in this review there is something that sounds strange to me.
You said that on a round tail the water line is shorter, but at the same time you said that round house are longer. I can't really understand. I believe that the water line is longer on the round tail, because on a squash or similar you have a break point that helps the release way before the round tail.
I believe also that because of the fact it is rounded, when you push on it and you are going on the backside, it starts turning before(because it is more rounded) if compared to a squash tail that has a rail line more straight than that.
So the main advantage is that it starts turning before a squash tail, but the arching turn would be larger compared to a squash version(more straight rail line) where, when you reach the tail it pivots better and the board starts to be more vertical and radical.
Just my opinion, and can be wrong Noel. I just want to say again thanks for your work.
The heel side has the round tail and the rail line is shorter... and it looks to be pulled in slightly compared to the toe side. Maybe check one out in person and you will see what I am talking about.
This board does not have the extreme tail designs like most Asymmetrical designs out there where the toe side is 2-3” longer compared to the heel side. However the Asymmetrical feel is there offering quick heel side turns.
