A user-friendly, purpose-built asym that enhances control in high-volume small wave boards.

The MAYSYM is Matt Biolos’s most refined venture into asymmetrical surfboard design—an anatomically corrected, high-volume performance shape born from decades of experimentation. Based on the proven V2-Stub Rocket platform, this board is engineered to help surfers handle the challenges that come with extra foam and wider tails—especially when transitioning rail to rail in small, mushy surf.

Unlike more radical asym designs, the MAYSYM avoids exaggerated quirks. Instead, it subtly addresses the biomechanical imbalance between heel and toe turns by shortening and softening the heel-side rail line and slightly increasing surface area and rail rocker on the toe side. This results in smoother backside bottom turns and more stable, confident frontside arcs, particularly for average surfers who tend to struggle with control on wide-tailed small-wave boards.

Biolos emphasizes function over flash you won’t find offset fin boxes or wildly mismatched tail templates. Just smart, quiet engineering built into the tail curves, rail rocker, and plan shape. The board comes in both regular- and goofy-footed versions, with each blank pre-cut asymmetrically for consistency and performance.

Pros:

*Improved rail-to-rail control on high-volume, wide-tailed boards
*Stance-specific design enhances heel-toe balance without gimmicks
*Ideal for small wave groveling, especially for intermediate surfers
*Cleaner aesthetics than many asym designs; looks more like a traditional board
*Refined over five years of real-world testing and shaping

Cons:

* Asymmetry requires correct matching for stance (Regular or Goofy)
*Niche utility best for high-volume boards; benefits diminish in low-volume HPSBs
* Not a one-board quiver; better as a specialized addition for small-wave days
* May feel unconventional at first to those used to symmetric shapes

Summary:

The MAYSYM is a thoughtfully designed, subtly asymmetrical surfboard that brings balance and control to high-volume, wide-tailed small wave boards. Instead of relying on extreme aesthetics or radical tail designs, it leverages nuanced, anatomy-aware refinements to help average surfers maintain precision and flow where it’s often lost. For those looking to maximize performance without sacrificing paddle power or ease of use, the MAYSYM is asymmetry done right—accessible, effective, and surprisingly intuitive.
