How it surfs
Aggregate below is built from three independent editorial reviews (Slimes Newcastle demo report, Surfboard Empire's "The Goods" write-up, and a Swaylocks forum shaper-tester report), each normalized to a /5 score based on the reviewer's own verdict.
Consensus: the Driver line has been Mayhem's HP-shortboard backbone for over a decade, and the 3.0 fine-tunes rocker and concave to give it a slightly livelier feel than the Driver 2.0.
