Today in San Clemente, the waves were bad from the morning due to a southerly wind blowing from the left side towards the sea.
It was the day with the fewest surfers during my stay. The photo is of T-STREET.
In times like these, we head to Salt Creek to avoid the wind.
The swell is a little uneven, but the wave quality and size are sufficient compared to usual in Japan.
I surfed on F1-STUB's POLY.
There are a lot of people here who own LOST boards.
He looks enviously at the LOST board.
LOST surfboards' exclusive glass shop,
I went to Catalyst.
This is the sanding room.
Here, the boards, which are glass-laminated with cloth and resin, are sanded and finished by a specialist sander, who gets covered in dust.
This happened yesterday, when Chris Ward was riding a board equipped with the POWER BASE fin system and a surfer was on the bottom line after lipping, he ran the surfer over with such force that it was shocking to everyone watching. However, the fins on Chris's POWER BASE fin system board remained unbroken, and there was absolutely no damage to the fin plug (base box). Chris Ward was surprised, saying that if he had used FCS or FUTURE fins, the fins and plugs would have been broken, not to mention the on-board fins. When I checked the video from yesterday, I found that the ride was perfectly filmed, so I will be able to show it to you all at a later date.
The two front fins extend from the rails of the board to the inside of the board, penetrating both the bottom and deck sides.
The surfer was also surprised and got up immediately, and came over to apologize, saying that Chris's board must have been broken.
I was amazed that Chris's board, equipped with the POWER BASE fin system, was completely undamaged.
The POWER BASE fin system has a base area in the fin itself, and a larger fin plug of the same shape as the base supports the impact of the fin and is integrated with the board, making it stronger than any other removable fin system to date.
