Please take a look at the unpublished photos from Nishii's trip to Simeloo Island, Indonesia, in STJ magazine.
The third photo was used in an advertisement for LOST surfboards
' "RNF-REDUX."
These are the two sequence photos before that. I had them take a photo of me making a nice carving turn at high speed. Photographer Kenyu is amazing, as you'd expect, as he included the green in the foreground. Even MAYHEM said it was a great photo!
This photo shows him returning to the boat after a session in the big waves that was featured prominently on two pages of the spread. He was the last one left out in the ocean, and it was a bit difficult to find the outboard takeoff position, but he had just finished the last wave and returned safely. The board he was riding was a 5'9" LOST
POCKET ROCKET EDD size POLY.
This is Nishii in the living room of the cottage where we were staying, probably checking emails on his MacBook. The internet connection is congested during the day and extremely slow, but there were days when it was normally usable in the early morning when it was still dark. About one in three days there were days when the entire town was unusable. We live on an island in a remote part of Indonesia, so life there is very different to that in Japan.
The third photo was also used in the STJ magazine.
These are the two sequence photos before that. These photos were taken at dusk. Sharp photos on a clear day are good, but I've always loved surf photos taken at this time of day when the colors are more abundant.
This is the moment when I parked my car, took my surfboard off the roof, and got ready to go surfing. Instead of parking, I parked in the shade of a palm tree.
This is the second photo from the Inner Barrel Shot published in SURF TRIP magazine.
The barrel flies further forward in this photo, making this a better surf shot, but the first published photo shows the shore, so SURF TRIP magazine decided to publish that first photo. The board being ridden in this photo is a 5'8" PLACEBO
EL-DIBALO PLUS FLEXLTE-HYPER.
I posted this on Nishii's Instagram, but it was a day when I was surfing late at Durians, the spot where I surf the most, and the sunset was beautiful. The sky is the colour that is unique to Indonesia. It's hard to tell because it's a silhouette, but the board I'm holding
is a 5'8" PLACEBO EL-DIBALO PLUS FLEXLTE-HYPER.
The 5'8" PLACEBO 'EL-DIBALO PLUS' FLEXLTE-HYPER is a great all-around board!
The Surf Trip magazine in which these trips are featured has just been released.
