Nishii's favorite board is the LOST ``F1-STUB'' model, made of parallel flex material.
Usually, there is one wooden stringer in the middle, but this one is split into two and is located closer to the rail.
It extends directly from the fin box.
The two distinctive wooden stringers
There is a part that is not included from the fin box to the tail end,
The entire board flexes and rebounds to extend the turn,
Only the tail section springs back more to accelerate into the turn.
Since there is no wooden stringer in the center, the stance is 100% in the foam area.
Because you control the board,
It's easy to load and the board is flexible, flexing nicely and fitting with the wave.
Even if you can't bend the board well, with parallel flex,
You will feel a greater sense of flexibility and speed than ever before.
↓In this video, the board flexes smoothly, giving the surfing speed.

You can see that the board's material properties make the turns at the top sticky and curve in a big line!
