A model called Retro Gun for extremely large waves has been completed.
It is a gunboard that is as long as a long board, with a length of 9'0.
To prevent the board from breaking, extra-thick wooden stringers are used and the board is wrapped in three layers of 6-ounce glass, making it very heavy and sturdy.
This is the Griffin Colapinto board.
The griffin on the board was created by LOST's original artist, Drew Brophy.
The resin-colored boards lined up with the tails facing up are the "
SMOOTH OPERATOR " models.
Apparently this is a very popular model in the USA. At Love Surf, sizes are also selling out.
Arctic blanks are the main material used by LOST.
Blanks are also called forms in Japanese, which can be confusing, but
In the USA, the word blanks is often used.
The boards that have been taped together in the center are boards that have been shaped and painted and are about to be transported to the glass factory. LOST surfboards are shaped at the shape factory, and the glass is processed at a separate factory to complete the process.
These two boards are custom-ordered by a surfer from Minami Nonaka in Japan. He will represent Japan at the ISA Junior World Surfing Games to be held in Huntington Beach at the end of October, and we are working hard to finish them in time for the contest.
The paint art is of Rider-chan. The rack is lined with colors for painting.
This is a board that a customer custom-ordered, an Orca model, and after completion, will be shipped to Japan by air.
The latest models are great, but there are also many Japanese customers who are LOST fans who have been riding the classics over and over for many years!
