5'7" Lost Maysym

5’7 x 20.25 x 2.38 - 31 L poly- goofy footer tail

For sale or trade- check my profile for more boards

Great condition lightly ridden board here perfect if you are a goofy footer looking to rip in small waves.

You don’t surf the same frontside as you do backside so why wouldn’t you want an asymmetrical tail?

Flat rocker with good thickness throughout. Glides over any flat section.

Watertight ready to surf! Has a couple minor repairs.

“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 volume board, the surfer can easily control the tail on heel or toe edge, thus it’s very rare to see high level surfers using them on high performance short boards (although I believe there is room to develop and improve them in that genre). With wide tails and high volume to body weight ratios on small wave boards, for average surfers, the big tails can easily start to get in the way. Precise surfing can become a casualty to wave catch-ability, and ease of speed generation… especially on heel turns (back side bottom turns or front side pocket turns are most effected), so I began to take surface area out of the heel rail on my wide Rocket tails, turning them into Round tails, and then slowly offsetting the centerline, as well as adding more rail rocker to the wider side of the tail, and other subtle adjustments to try and neutralize the difference between heel and toe body mechanics. The MASYM is the result.

Unlike many asyms floating around today, we reeled in the “shock and awe” effect. 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.”
