Today's event is hosted by KI Surf in northern Chiba.
We were holding a test ride event for LOST surfboards.
Even though it was Sunday, the waves at the river mouth were almost all to ourselves.
Among the participants, there was one person who had ridden more than eight models.
The most popular at the test drive event was the "SUB-DRIVER-JP"
It was "TABLET".
The TABLET is popular among skilled surfers and has a fast takeoff, but this board can move normally!
This board is cheating!
If the points are full of TABLETs, you won't be able to catch the wave in short.
Takeoff is easy and beats the funboard!
I received the following feedback.
"SUB-DRIVER-JP" is a board for beginners who want to step up and
Those who have been advised that longer boards are better, and are riding shortboards longer than 6'1"
Ride the SUB-DRIVER-JP 6'0" or 5'11" for quick takeoff and easy ups and downs!
I was surprised at how quick the takeoff was, even though it was shorter than the board I'm currently riding.
He was surprised to learn that a longer surfboard doesn't necessarily mean a faster takeoff!
The V-FLEX board was also well received, with many commenting that the lightness it offered was something they had never experienced before.
Many kids and ladies surfers participated.
Although it was November, the weather was warm and pleasant, and the test drive was a great success.
After the test ride and interacting with the KI Surf members,
Avoiding the heavy traffic on the last day of the holidays,
I just got home with Hiroki, a team rider who helped me.
