Today Nishii is photographing the man of the moment, Julian Wilson.
The size increases,
LOWERS is crowded with people surfing first thing in the morning before work.
Photographing Julian Wilson, the man of the moment.
SHAW will also be appearing with the new board ``F1-STUB'' model.
KEI is also here on summer vacation.
JW brought two models, the "F1-STUB" and the "DRIVER".
JW tried changing the FCS fins multiple times on the same board.
He switched between three models: the newly released Mick Fanning model from FCS, the Jamie F model, and his own JW model.
I also photographed Ian Walsh riding a MAYHEM board.
It seems Mayhem's board also came into contact with someone, and two of his FUTURE fins and boxes were damaged.
When JW won the US Open the day before yesterday in front of the largest audience ever for a surfing contest, the first thing he said in his interview on the award stage was, "First of all, I'd like to thank Matt Biolos. Thank you for the amazing board," and it was so moving when that was broadcast all over the world.
After riding a few times, the "DRIVER" model broke in half. After that, I also broke the all-clear "F1-STUB" model. Yesterday, TAJ also broke his board. The boards that pros use are made to be extremely light, so they break when they hit a strong lip or when landing in the air.
Today at LOWERS, a number of high level surfers were taking turns surfing, including Kelly, Luke Davis, Alefo, Damien and Jamie.
