LOST Japan Limited Edition Model "
PUDDLE FISH-JP " Explanation Video by Designer "MAYHEM"
FILM: Michal Van Mierlo
EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM
This is a Paddlefish JP, measuring 5'3"x20"x2.56" and with a CL value of 27 liters.
The Paddlefish JP comes standard with a grab rail.
Most of the boards sold exclusively in Japan are equipped with grab rails.
Lost's grab rails aren't extreme.
Long grab rails make the board less flexible and stiffer.
The grab rail can be made lighter by removing foam from the nose area.
It also makes the board move more smoothly.
Because Japanese people tend to surf small waves,
I tend to ride boards that have more buoyancy.
But the grab rail makes it easy to dolphin through,
It also improves agility and looks good.
Paddlefish has been the best thing I've seen in the last six months.
Last spring, I first got myself in shape and it felt great.
Designed based on the Puddle Jumper
I cut a half inch (about 1.3 cm) off the squash tail of a Puddle Jumper to create the corners and make a notch.
It's called a "reverse swallow" and curves gently in the opposite direction to a normal swallow.
And this part remains sharp.
The channel runs parallel to the quad fin but widens towards the tail
The channel gradually deepens and curves out to the tail.
The combination of these three ideas is
The outline of the tail end is squared,
Match it with a reverse swallow and combine it with the R2 channel
The combination of these three elements provides a solid ride and comfortable turns.
And it has incredible acceleration.
There is a sense of unity with the rails, giving the ride a solid feel.
You can double your acceleration with your back foot and keep putting in the rail.
It's a really fun board to surf.
A wide variety of fin combinations allow for a variety of riding styles
I combine MB keel fins ,
Young surfers also ride with three fins.
I also saw a surfer who looked good riding a twin fin and stabilizer combination.
Anyway, it's a fun board
Personally I ride with 4 fins.
The bottom where the front foot is located has a deep concave.
This is the rail locker.
The strong rail rocker makes it easy to turn even on narrow faces in small waves.
The outline has been slightly modified, with a straight line near the center.
It has a pointed nose
There's a bit of a straight point in the outline, which gives it the essence of a classic fish outline.
The outline is less curved than a puddle jumper.
This straight line stabilizes the accelerated turn.
Anyway, it's a fun board
It's like a hyper-man version of Fish, who can cruise and catch waves with ease.
