First ride on the new LOST FST Stealth model size 5'8".
Today we have NICHIYAMA, a user of the new LOST FST Stealth model size 5'9",
(NICHIYAMA is the second heavy Stealth user after Nishii to own two of Mayhem's latest 2009 model, the cool and functional Stealth with ROCKET tail.)
Masaru also appeared at the point,
Today, Nishii took his first ride on the new size of the best-sized LOST FST Stealth model.
Until now, I had test-ridden the 5'11" F-1 and the 5'10" STEALTH a few times, even though they were large and had good buoyancy. This time, however, I was finally able to take my long-awaited first ride on the 5'8" STEALTH, which was just the right size for me.
The waves were weak after the onshore swell, but we lost FST!
The excellent shape design and the characteristics of the material that makes up the board make it a very versatile board.
It moves lightly and floats well even in weak waves thanks to the EPS core, and the balsa rails make it easy to ride.
You can make turns that extend like an arrow.

I've been getting this question a lot lately: Which is better, "FST" or "3D XTR CARBOLIC"?
But the answer is, they're both great!!
Both materials have amazing properties that anyone can feel.
In short, although the materials are different,
The parabolic structure makes the most of the flexibility of the center stringer board.
The extension of the turn is excellent.
"3D XTR CARBOLIC" accelerates with a sharp rebound.
It feels like it adds rebound acceleration to the ride feel of a POLY board.
It is also recommended for those who like the riding feel of a POLY board.
The FST has excellent forward extension.
I like the flexible flex and can ride big lines even in small waves or weak waves.
This board is recommended for those who want to draw lines in harmony with the waves. Even those who are not good at putting weight on the board can easily bend the board and gain speed.
They are both similar, but when you compare them you can see the difference.
Which side are you on?
