New Luvsurf TV: LOST “ORCA” Koji Nishii Koji Nishii

Luvsurf TV: LOST 『ORCA』Koji Nishii Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: LOST 5'7" ORCA POLYESTER FILM & EDIT:TOKU-TOTAL VIDEO SERVICE This is a riding video of the Orca, a Japan-only model developed and designed specifically for the crowded small waves of Shonan. On the first run, the board started sliding smoothly with a light paddle, and then it easily went up and down on the small, sloping waves, making carving turns. On the second run, I was paddling on a funboard behind the peak, and even though the waves were not rideable, I paddled sideways and took off smoothly, making one move on the backside. On the third one, we took off and the top of the board ran up into the thick, soupy waves. The fourth one is a backside roller coaster, which is wide but works well. You can see that the takeoff is so quick that the fifth one starts sliding sideways before even standing up. Even when riding on soup, it doesn't sink, so you can ride long distances without losing speed. The sixth shot was a backside top speed shot followed by three consecutive top actions while spraying. He rode up to the person on the funboard who was riding far away and almost collided with him. In the seventh run, Long, who is riding forward, can only slide straight, but even in the same small waves, the Orca's board moves and he is able to ride well. For the last eighth slide, he starts sliding on the board with just a light paddle that involves rotating his arms three times. You definitely can't get this much initial speed on a normal board, so you can avoid getting caught in the thick soup of the waves and finish on a light roller coaster ride through the sections. Take a look at the extremely fast takeoff performance, where the board slides sideways before taking off even in small waves with little power.
