“The Mayhem 3.0 is an all new template. With the trends in modern HP shortboards going towards more curve under the rear foot for critical pocket surfing, we felt the need for the fins to evolve with the board rockers. We wanted to add a bit more base, with more rake and a narrower tapered tip than our long-standing thruster template.
The idea with the base and rake is more resistance and bite when deep into turns and to maintain drive through tight radius turns. The reduced tip area, with a tapered flex, adds release and freedom for quick transitions in and out of turns, when needed. We’ve been taking these fins to the wave pools for controlled, repeatable testing, and also worked with our crew of diverse sized, elite surfers for feedback and input.”

From Usedsurf's Fin Spex Project:
Mayhem 3.0 Thruster HC with Carbon - This fin seems like it should be used on only higher rockered boards, super good waves, and have all this drive. But it has a narrow tip. The area at the top has less surface area overall. What this ended up feeling like in my higher rocker board was like I was riding too small of a fin that lacked drive. But!...in my lower to medium rockered board it felt way better. Faster, had drive, and was responsive. In my opinion, contrary to Mayhems intended use of this fin in higher curvier rockers, because of the lower surface area toward the top of the fin, it ends up being a fin that works well in boards that don't have a lot of tail rocker. It felt way way better in my low/medium rocked boards than my higher tail rocked board. So that is why it is in this spot on the spectrum of loosest to stiffest. Watch Episode
