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.

Aさんは、LOST『RNF'96』LONG TOE/ Made in CALIFORNIA USA をお選びになりました。長く浮力のあるボードで練習されていたお客様で、特にテイクオフ時にテールを抑えきれないことに不満を感じられており、長さと浮力を抑えたステップアップ用のボードをお探しでした。LOSTのボードは評価が高く、さまざまなモデルをご検討いただいた中で、最終的にRNF 96を 5'10"サイズでお選びいただきました。将来的にはハイパフォーマンスボードにも乗りたいというご希望があり、上達後も長く使えるボードであることが決め手となりました。
Bさんは、LOST『CALIFORNIA MID』POLYESTER MADE IN USA をお選びになりました。現在は典型的なボッテリとしたミッドレングスに乗られているそうで、波には乗れるのですが動きが重く悩んでいたところ、LOST Surfboardsの存在を知ってしまい、絶対『MAYHEM』が手がけたLOST Surfboardsに乗りたくなりラヴサーフにご来店下さいました。パドルやテイクオフ性能をあまり落とすことなく、パフォーマンスをアップしてくれる様々なモデルをご提案させていただいた中、無理ないサイズ感で扱いやすいけどアクションもしやすい『CALIFORNIA MID』をご決断です。カッコいいコンセプトエアブラシカラーが映えますね！もちろんMR2+1をセットアップして完璧です。
Cさんは、LOST『SUB DRIVER3.0』POLYESTER MADE IN USAをお選びになりました。『DRIVER3.0』もお持ちのハイパフォーマンスモデルが好みのウィメンズサーファー様です。今回は『FORMULA-1』に狙いを定めて遠方からラヴサーフにご来店くださったのですが、色々とお話をお伺いしたところ『3.0 STUB DRIVER』や『SUB DRIVER 3.0』の方が今乗りたいサーフボードにフィットすることがわかり、当初の予定を変更して『SUB DRIVER 3.0』をご決断下さいました。ラヴサーフは西井プロをはじめとした、日本一LOST&PLACEBOに精通したスタッフがおりますので、ぜひお気軽にご相談下さいね。
Dさんは、LOST『BIG RIG DRIVER』POLYESTER MADE IN USAをお選びになりました。ラヴサーフにご来店いただいた翌日に、モルディブへのサーフトリップを控えているお客様です。実は先日、飛行機で輸送中にサーフボードが修復不可能なほど破損してしまうというアクシデントに見舞われ、急遽トリップ用のサーフボードを探すため、ラヴサーフへご来店くださいました。体格の良いお客様で、パワーのあるモルディブの波で使用することも考慮し、候補に挙がったのは『BIG RIG DRIVER』レールの厚みやコンケーブの入り方、ボリュームバランスなどをじっくりとチェックし、ご自身のサーフィンスタイルやトリップ先のコンディションをイメージしながら慎重に比較していただきました。そして最後は、乗り味へのこだわりと品質の高さを決め手に、こだわりのMADE IN USAモデルをご決断いただきました。
皆様！ご来店にて沢山の新品『LOST サーフボード』Made in CALIFORINIA USA をご購入ありがとうございます！
