『V2-GRINDER』 Kei Kobayashi VQS 2016
Rider: Kei Kobayashi
Board used: LOST
『V2-GRINDER』 POLYESTER
FILM: Koji Nishii
EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM
This is a compilation of riding from the VQS contest held at Lower Trestle in San Clemente, California in June 2016.
He rode this model when he won the first JPSA competition in 2016, winning every race from the trials, and he likes it so much that he has a collection of different lengths and uses it in all his contests.
The grinding motion at the top shatters the waves so much that it's no exaggeration to say it was developed specifically for Kay's surfing.
Kei is riding this model and has been scoring very consistently in contests. Thanks to his daily athletic training and the ability to focus on riding a good board, it's becoming rare for him to wipe out in competitions, and he doesn't wipe out from any position.
The V2-GRINDER is so popular that we can't even list it on our online stock list, and all stock boards are sold out, but we are steadily restocking new boards. All sizes will be restocked in September.
Reservations are currently being accepted.
At CHIBAPRO QS6000, Pro Noro Reika also won riding
the V2-GRINDER .
The V2-GRINDER is a contest-winning board!
Kei was currently entered as a seeded player in the "WQS 1500 Murasaki
Shonan Open " being held in Japan, but due to instructions from O'Neill International, he has been forced to travel to an O'Neill event in Florida and will therefore be unable to compete in this year's "WQS 1500 Murasaki
Shonan Open ." It's a shame you won't be able to see his brave performance in Japan, but please take a look at this latest video! We can't wait to see him perform at the US Open in late July.
