Board used : LOST "COUCH PATATO" XTR FX Board size : 5.6 x 21 1/2 x 2 3/8 Fins : Performer PC carbon quad specifications Usage history : 7 months Weight : 74 kg How many times a week do you surf ?: 1 time / Area: Ise, Gobo, Kochi, Tottori Purchased from : Luvsurf thoughts I'm a middle-aged surfer who's just gotten back into surfing, and to put it simply, this board is great for anyone who's just getting back into surfing! I wish I'd come across it sooner. Even at this size, it's easy to take off and the board moves smoothly! The fins are S size quad specifications, making cutbacks very easy. I think it's suitable for thick, not-too-fast waves, but because it has a wide, low rocker, I don't think it's suitable for fast-breaking or holey waves. It's been 20 years since I last surfed, but I'm currently hooked on reef breaks! This board will allow you to ride more waves, so you will need to build up your basic physical strength.

Board used : LOST 『V2-SB』 POLYESTER Board size : 5'9" x 18 5/8" x 2 3/16" Fins : FCS II PERFORMER PC CORE M size Usage history : 7 months Weight : Around 58-60kg How many times a week do you surf ?: 1-2 times/Area: Chiba to Ibaraki Purchased from : Luvsurf thoughts I had been riding the original ROCKET, STEALTH and other Rocket series bikes and had a great time, so I decided to buy the V2-SB, which I had been interested in. I thought the standard performance form of the V2-SB might be too much for a beginner/intermediate surfer in his fifties, so I chose the 5'9" with 24.5cl for a slightly oversized buoyancy. For the first few rounds, I was a bit confused by the extra buoyancy, but I was surprised by the quick takeoff and maneuverability! Unless the waves were really thick and slow, I could enjoy surfing from knee-high to head-high with just this one board, and even during the summer small wave season, I ended up using my small wave board much less often. To be honest, I'm not the best at boarding, but the V2-SB's competition-style form is easy to handle... just like Mayhem. It's definitely a magic board! I use the small Reactor when the waves are small, and the medium Performer feels great when the waves are chest high or higher.

Board used : Placebo "LAYZ ORCA" FLEXLITE-TURBO Board size : 5'10" x 21" x 2 5/8" Fins : AUROLA Usage history : 4 months How many times a week do you surf ?: 1 time/Area: South Chiba Purchased from : Luvsurf thoughts At the store, Nishii-san gave me some advice on boards that would be easy for women to handle, so I bought one. I was switching from a funboard and was a bit worried about the short length, but I think I've improved a bit thanks to the wide nose and super buoyancy. With a funboard, I could only go straight after taking off, but since I started using the LAYZ ORCA, I can now go a little to the side. Even with my weak paddle, I was able to move forward and take off more often, so I was able to ride more. I think this model is also recommended for women.
