Please feel free to contact us using this contact form or by calling us at 03-3732-5532! When ordering a custom product, we recommend specifying the model, length, and width. Specify the CL value. (This is not supported for older models and some models.) If you specify the CL value, you do not need to specify the thickness value. This is because MAYHEM will adjust the thickness to match your desired CL value. For example, you might want the rails to be thinner than the stock board's pre-made design. I want the finished board to be as light as a professional WT surfer. We will do our best to accommodate your specific requests! You can also choose the color of the FCS plug you want! Only at Love Surf! Mayhem himself hand-finished the shape, As proof of this, Matt Biolos himself has signed it in pencil. Your name will also be signed, making this the only one in the world. Why not bring your custom-made LOST board to our headquarters and factory in San Clemente, California?

Learn moreEveryone! Are you using the 3 types of "FU WAX" correctly, layering them together?
Dear FU WAXERS! Are you using FU WAX correctly? Applying three types of " FU WAX " in layers will give you the ultimate 3D grip! Recommended for the current midsummer season: 1. First, apply a thick coat of "BASE". By applying "BASE" thoroughly, which is less likely to melt or move, not only will the 3D grip performance improve, but you will also be more economical by minimizing the amount of wax you apply on top. 2. After applying "BASE", Apply "TOROPICAL" as a middle coat. We recommend applying the same amount as for "BASE". 3. Apply the top coat "WARM". We recommend applying "WARM" on top in a thickness that is about half that of "Middle Coat". It's a bit of a hassle, but by layering the three types, the 3D grip performance is more than worth the effort. With other manufacturers, your feet may suddenly slip while riding, With FU WAX , this won't happen, so you'll never have to use other manufacturers again! Most of the pro surfers who make a living from surfing are now using FU Waxer. The production volume is so low that even professionals still can't get their hands on it. As you probably know, It is 100% handmade in Brazil using a secret recipe known only to "FU". In Japan, many stores are currently sold out. A secret trick is to use "Kei Kobayashi" here: Apply to the tops of both feet before entering the sea. When paddling, you can apply it to the soles of both your feet to further enhance your 3D grip! From now on, don't forget to do this before you go into the ocean and become a real FU WAXER with a difference!
Learn moreArrived in stores! LOST's latest model! "Puddle Jumper HP" Puddle Jumper HP
This is the latest LOST surfboard that Nishii recently got! "Puddle Jumper HP" This is the Puddle Jumper HP. HP stands for high performance. This is a high performance version of the Puddle Jumper! The board size is "5'4 19.75 2.35 27.50cl" Fin setting is MR TWIN + STUB or I tried MB QUAD , There is a long VEE bottom about 1/3 from the tail. The board moves really well from side to side, so you don't need to use the fins to move the board lightly. The MB QUAD was in better condition! It's fast, agile, fast, loose and precise to surf. If you want to have fun in small waves at high speed and with ease, the PJHP will take you to the next level. Nishii's impression after riding it was, "It moves too much! It's fast!" They run and move very fast, so we recommend using larger fins at first until you get used to the movements! The stock board sizes are as follows: 5'0 19.25 2.32 24.50 5'2 19.50 2.32 25.75 5'3 19.63 2.35 26.75 5'4 19.75 2.35 27.50 5'5 19.88 2.38 28.50 5'6 20.00 2.45 29.50 5'7 20.25 2.50 31.00 5'8 20.50 2.50 32.00 5'9 20.75 2.53 33.50 5'10 21.00 2.56 35.00 This PJHP model has just arrived at Love Surf stores and is already lined up on the surfboard racks in the store! If you can come, be sure to check it out early!
Learn moreAsymmetrical fin setting recommended for wide tail models such as LOST's RNF-RETRO!
Nishii suggests an asymmetrical fin setting recommended for wide tail models! Recently, I've come across manufacturers that are producing boards with asymmetrical outlines and fin counts, known as "asymmetrical." However, because they are asymmetrical, they are essentially boards for regular or goofy stances. However, if you have a 5-fin or 4-fin board, This is how you can experience the performance of "Asymmetrical". Asymmetrical design involves making the outline on the heel side thinner or shorter than on the toe side, or reducing the number of fins, which allows for tighter backside bottom turns and tighter frontside top turns. So if you have a 5-fin or 4-fin board, If you do it like in this photo, it will become an "asymmetrical" board. Nishii did this in "RNF-RETRO", As you can see in these photos, the bottom turn is extended. The surfing is smooth and spins at the top, producing speed and spray. It felt great and I was hooked on this fin setting! Everyone, please give it a try! It's a really interesting movement! We especially recommend this to users of the currently popular " RNF-RETRO "! This "asymmetrical" fin setting that Nishii came up with has the following features: MAYHEM was also impressed and posted a rave review on his Instagram! Nishii has posted some riding videos on Instagram, so please take a look! ＠koji_luvsurf_nishii https://www.instagram.com/koji_luvsurf_nishii/?hl=ja The fins that Nishii set on the ` `RNF-RETRO '' are the following two types! The heel side fins are as follows. Black twin fin 『FCS ll』PG MODERN KEEL / TWIN SET The toe fins are shown below, and there are two of the same design but in different colors. FCS II PG Split Kel/Quad Fin MAYHEM/Matt Biolos "FCS II" PG Split Kel/Quad Fin
