Located in San Clemente, California, this is a LOST surfboard store.
I sneaked into the GLASSING factory and here's my report!
In this glass factory dedicated to LOST,
We are currently producing resin tint color boards to be sent to Japan.
The colorful "Resin Tint Color" takes more time and effort to produce than a clear board, but not only does it improve the texture of the board, it also increases its strength, and discoloration over time or due to exposure to sunlight is less noticeable, allowing you to ride in beautiful color for a long time, so at Love Surf we recommend "Resin Tint Color".
Compared to boards made by simply painting foam with an airbrush, "Resin Tint Color" has a luxurious texture and gives the color depth and shading, making the board stand out more like a work of art.
The resin is rolled up from the bottom and then semi-hardened on the rail, giving it a short time to be cut with a cutter. This is the moment when the cutter can carefully hand-cut the resin along the outline. This is done by the factory manager, Petty.
This is a process called hot coating, where a thin layer of clear resin is applied with a brush to create the top layer of resin tint color. At this time, the tail is taped to create the edges. The person doing the work is veteran "Chato."
The "resin tint color" is completed by repeatedly applying glass to the deck and bottom. Resin tint color boards are more expensive than clear boards because they require more time and effort to work with, but please know that they offer value and functionality that far exceeds their price!
The RNF-ULTRA, a new genre of board known as the "MID-FISH" board, is a hot topic.
"SHONAN WARRIOR" is currently being pre-ordered by surfers at small wave beaches,
Stock boards such as the ever-popular "RNF-RETRO" model, which is always out of stock, are scheduled to arrive in May!
We are currently accepting pre-orders, so if you are interested, please feel free to contact us with any questions or inquiries.
Please call us at 03-3732-5532 or use this

We can also advise you on board sizes and provide information on available colors!
