Mr. A, LOST "BABY DRIVER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality was chosen. He is currently riding a 5'0" BABY DRIVER, which fits his body well and he is riding well.

The customer also purchased the new DRIVER as it seemed to be in good condition. Mr. C said, You have chosen LOST's "DRIVER3.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. The surfboard I was currently using had a lot of buoyancy and was difficult to move, so I was looking for a surfboard that would allow me to move more nimbly. He came to Love Surf after hearing about the arrival of the newly released "DRIVER3.0" in 2023. There was a size he was considering before coming to the store, but after we asked him about his weight and level, we suggested he go down one size, which he decided on. The buoyancy is significantly less than the surfboard he was using, but we hope you enjoy the latest high-performance model, the DRIVER3.0, which MAYHEM has finally released! Mr. D, You have chosen LOST's "RNF'96" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He said he was curious about the shape as it was similar to a board he had been using well in the past.

Mr. A, LOST chose "GLYDRA" RESIN COLOR Made in CALIFORNIA USA. He also rides regular shortboards, but he also has a ``RE-LOADED'' as a longer easy board. The "RE-LOADED" certainly makes it easy to catch waves and ride smoothly, but I would like it to have a bit more of a shortboard-like movement. So he purchased the "GLYDRA," which combines the characteristics of a mid-length shoe with added athletic performance. Mr. B, You have chosen the LOST "GLYDRA" LONG-TOE Made in CALIFORNIA USA. If you own a DOUBLE DART "RNF'96", "RAD RIPPER" or "SUB DRIVER 2.0", It has been working well, but the customer wanted a longer model that was easier to use. This time, we purchased the ``GLYDRA'', which comes in a special resin work LONG-TOE specification. Mr. C said, You have chosen the LOST "RNF '96" LONG-TOE Made in CALIFORNIA USA. I've been eyeing the special edition RNF '96 for a long time, but I missed out on buying it last time with the DOUBLE DART, so This limited edition LONG-TOE model was quickly purchased by many customers who did not miss the information about its release. He said it was great to be able to ride the RNF '96, which is great for surfing, in such a cool resin color. Mr. D We selected LOST "SHONAN WARRIOR" RESIN COLOR Made in CALIFORNIA USA.

Mr. A, LOST "SUP DRIVER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality was chosen. He learned about SUP DRIVER through videos and other sources, and wanted to try riding it when the size was small or the conditions were bad.

He liked the rails, which didn't feel like they had any buoyancy, and purchased the 5'10" size. Mr. C said, You have chosen LOST "DRIVER3.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. The customer chose DRIVER3.0 when switching to a performance board. He had always ordered boards up until now, but they had a stock of boards close to the size he was using.
