New Luvsurf TV:LOST "CRAZY POTATO" Koji Nishii Koji Nishii@East Taiwan.
Rider: Koji Nishii
Board used: LOST 5'4" "CRAZY POTATO" EFC by HydroFlex
FILM: Toshi Tanaka, Susumu Nakano
EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM
This is the most cunning model in Potato's history, disguised as a Short Round, and is a hybrid board of two hit models, the "LAYZ POTATO" and the "SHORT ROUND." The "CRAZY POTATO" is characterized by its high performance, blending the best of both models. It has a pointed nose-like design that makes it light and easy to ride, and it paddles quickly and takes off easily, making it a board for intermediate and advanced riders.
The recommended wave size is knee-high to head-oversize.

The board length is one inch longer than the "LAYZ POTATO," giving it a sharper overall outline and improving drive, making it suitable for a variety of conditions, including larger waves, deeper waves, and irregular beach breaks. While the previous Potato series was designed to excel in smaller waves rather than larger ones, this board can also be used in larger waves.
The Mayhem's new bottom design converts wave energy into propulsion, so you'll feel it even when you're not pushing hard on the board. This lifting, rideable propulsion performance is also more tolerant of rough waters, making it ideal for onshore and sideshore riding.
The "SHORT ROUND" looks like a high-performance bike, but in reality... it's a truly crafty potato called the "LAYZ POTATO" that's fun to ride!
The "LAYZ POTATO" that Nishii is riding in the video you are about to see was brought to eastern Taiwan last year, and Masato, who was with him, thought for a while that he was riding a "SHORT ROUND." It can't be helped since the nose is "SHORT ROUND," but even family members seem to think it looks like a "SHORT ROUND"!
