As I announced on Facebook, Nishii is in California.

It was forecast to rain today, but it was cloudy,

Video session with Chucky at Salt Creek.
Chucky-san appeared on the DVD and web movie of last year's Placebo,
Apparently, he's been getting approached by Japanese surfers more often while surfing.
She also says she's happy that she's received so many friend requests on Facebook.

Is Chucky's body stiff?

The FQ2 is large enough and designed for small waves, but we had them test ride it to see how well it would perform in powerful, hollow waves.

After the shoot, we went to LOST Surfboards in San Clemente, where the Luvsurf USA office is located.

For mounting on Luvsurf stocks and custom order boards,
A lot of fins and fin boxes arrived from POWER BASE in AUS.

Orders and confirmations for boards received from Luvsurf and LOST surfboard retailers and pros nationwide.
After completing the verification process with Shaw, who has been appointed as a Luvsurf USA staff member,

When I went to the surfboard factory, I was told that the shaping had just been completed this morning.
There were four bottles of TAJ's WHIPLASH.

Apparently, Ghetto House, a glass shop in San Clemente, has a lot of boards that are close to being completed.

When I got there, I saw that the boards on the glass platform were indeed Luvsurf boards.

The owner, Paul, was busy installing the leash plug.

There's no leash plug yet.

Shane B was also at Ghetto House to pick up his board for tomorrow's local trial.

The waves were getting bigger and bigger and the beach was closing out,

Chucky said he wanted to go surfing at LOWERS, so we went.

When I went down to the beach, there were lots of skilled surfers in the water.
The ASP Prime event "NIKE LOWERS PRO" starts tomorrow.

Next to me was Julian W., who was comparing two MAYHEM boards, the F1-STUB.

Brett Simpson was in "WHIPLASH."

Placebo's MAYHEM board, and Corey from WHIPLASH also seemed to be in good shape.

There were many other riders riding MAYHEM boards, but I don't know their names, so I will introduce them as soon as I find out.
So, stay tuned for tomorrow's report on NIKE LOWERS PRO.
