San Clemente Tetrasulus growing in size
Today I'm using the ``DRIVER'' model to match the waves.
It has been sunny and warm every day.
It was early Tuesday morning after a three-day weekend, so UPPERS was empty.
After cycling and walking along the beach, we arrived at UPPERS in about 15 to 20 minutes.
We had cameraman Masuda shoot a video on the long wall waves.
The "DRIVER" model is semi-dry, and can be worn even when your body is heavy and equipped with boots and gloves.
This is a high-performance model with a high CL value and buoyancy that makes paddling easy.
This is an easy-to-ride model, so please give it a try if you find it difficult to take off in the winter, or if you have gained weight and are not confident enough to ride a thin, high-performance model.
In the afternoon, I went to Costa Mesa for a meeting.
This is a meeting with Paulo from FUWAX USA to discuss how to start selling FUWAX in Japan on a full scale.
Each piece is carefully poured into a mold, solidified, and then removed and packaged. 100% handmade in Brazil.
They have been researching and developing SURFWAX since 1967, and we heard about the process of how FUWAX became the high-performance wax that Kelly and other WCT riders use.
Afterwards, we went to LOST SURFBOARD to check out the surfboards that will be sent to Luvsurf this week.
Only a few of the new 2013 model "SUB-SCORCHER2" have been completed!
The standard tail shape is a double bump wing and super swallow tail.
The bottom rocker curve is less than other high performance models but is not flat.
The double bump wing design narrows the tail,
Kolohe says this is already his favorite model for small wave beach breaks.
Today at UPPERS I was enviously watching the Mayhem family's gardener riding it right away, and he looked to be in good condition, running well and picking up speed and surfing.
