We would like to give our blog readers an advance look at "BEACH BUGGY," which will soon be posted on our website.
■ LOST 『BEACH BUGGY by TAJI』
*A high performance board for small to medium rough waves that floats and moves forward even on rough waters!
This rough beach break model, developed in collaboration with MAYHEM and TAJI Barrow, was developed and designed for surfing rough, choppy waters without stalling. It's based on the WHIPLASH+TB. The nose and tail of the WHIPLASH+TB are wider, while the outline is thicker and the rocker is lowered. The rails are also slightly more voluminous than the WHIPLASH+TB. While the squash tail may appear wide at first glance, the narrower tail block allows for quicker response to sudden changes in the waves. For competitive use, a gentle bump is positioned near the back stance for increased control, allowing for acceleration when you press the tail. The long, deep single concave ensures the board stays afloat and smoothly propels itself across the water. It's designed to respond quickly and swiftly to even the most aggressive, unsettled style of surfers like TAJI Barrow. The board design inherits the genes of Andy's favorite WHIPLASH model, and is more versatile and versatile than the WHIPLASH-TB model, which evolved as a collaboration between Daji Burrow and Mayhem, allowing for a wider range of bad waves and high-performance surfing.

I completed it in January in California and did a test ride. It felt great from the first run, and the more I rode it, the better it got.
It was shipped to Japan and is being used as a magic board.
