The latest in the DRIVER series! I rode LOST's "UBER DRIVER"!
We prioritized the production of stock boards for people in Japan to ride, Nishii's personal board, which was delayed in completion, The latest model in the DRIVER series! I rode LOST's " UBER DRIVER " Pro-fromance Series! The TRI fin board is finally ready, and the waves are big enough. Recently, the more I ride, the better it feels, and I like it so much that I don't want to ride any other board. I put away my RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP and took an UBER DRIVER. This riding scene was cut out from the footage taken with "SOLO SHOT3" Please take a look. As you can see from the photo, The wide tail allows for good speed retention. This is a solid board that allows you to ride with a stable line. The UBER DRIVER is an outline design that combines the best of two LOST surfboards. Half the distance from the nose to the center is "SHORT ROUND" Half of the length from the center to the tail is designed using the outline of the "SUB-DRIVER". The DRIVER series model is named after DRIVER. There are three types: "DRIVER", "SUB-DRIVER" and " UBER DRIVER ". The "SUB-DRIVER" has less rocker and a more rounded design than the "DRIVER". Furthermore, the " UBER DRIVER " has a rounded design with less rocker. This means that the design has the least rocker and is rounded, It is the most gentle driver model. This means that it matches the daily wave conditions in Japan, This is a design that fans of high-performance tri-fins cannot ignore! The size of the board that Nishii is riding is 5'7” 18.75” 2.38” (170 × 47.6 × 6.0cm) 26.75cl Intermediate 55-60kg Advanced 60-65kg The latest in the DRIVER series! A friendly DRIVER model! " UBER DRIVER " Ready-to-ride stockboards are available * here *!

Let us introduce you to the interesting fin " AU Fin " that lets you experience the sensation of foiling! Nishii is enjoying using it in QUAD on his RNF-RETRO! Revolutionary fins arrive from California! The board floats up without getting caught during turns and moves across the water like it's flying!

When surfing at Kugenuma, a crowded platform, He was looking for a soft board that would be safe even if he bumped into something. The fins are apparently set to SA quad fins. It looks great with the red fins of the ORCA ! The same black/white color as " ORCA " is also nice, Bright colors also suit ORCA , so be sure to consider them! The day after he purchased it, he went surfing on this ORCA in Shirahama and Tatado, Izu. Apparently, people who witnessed it contacted us saying, "The orca looked like it was in good shape!" Hmmm... It looks like it would be really fun to ride this ORCA in the beautiful sea of Izu! After riding it for the second time, he said, I received a message saying, "I was going really fast and feeling great!" He said he received messages from many friends asking how ORCA was going.

This is Carissa Moore, who made some amazing turns at the recent Funders Cup. The board I have is the "DRIVER" model. The WT Brazil tournament, "Oi Rio Pro," will be held from May 11th to 20th, with the women's tournament also being held at the same time. These boards, made for women, are Caroline Marks' boards. They all have different tail shapes, but are all "DRIVER" models! Maria Manuel is back in top form after recovering from a knee injury last year. The board I use is my usual favorite, the POCKET ROCKET . The board that his daughter Ryder painted is a Mayhem board. It's for my trip to Indonesia starting next week. These two CARBON WRAP boards belong to Michael Rodrigues. He is the best rider of CARBON WRAP boards in the world, so he is expected to ride them in the Brazilian World Tournament. The model is the SUB-DRIVER . I'm standing in front of a "mural" board, which consists of three pieces that make up one picture. The artist who created this art painting is the original lost artist, Drew Brophy. This GO-PRO was used to take great photos. Felicity Falma from Australia, team rider for Billabong and LOST. This is Ian Crane riding the RNF-RETRO, filmed in Indonesia. It's amazing how easily he can surf overhead barrel waves on a short board! These boards with rails painted in various colors are "Yago Dora" boards. There is only one among the usual " POCKET ROCKET " and " DRIVER ", I'm curious to know that " PYCHO KILLER " is included!
Learn moreDuring Golden Week, check out the photos of Nishii riding the RNF-RETRO, a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Since it gets crowded during Golden Week, Nishii only rode LOST's ` `RNF-RETRO ''. Please take a look at the photos from that time. All photos by Masanori Uehara. @gogo1173surf The size of the board is 5' 2"x19.75"x2.32" (158×50.2×5.9cm) 27.25cl I used to ride a 5'4" bike, It felt too big so I changed my board to this size. The fins on this board are FUTURE fins, The stock boards arriving at Luvsurf are QUAD specifications with FCSII plugs. Nishii recommends the FCSII plug QUAD fins, LOST surfboard shaper "MAYHEM" signature design [QUAD fin] This is the MB PG SPLIT KEEL/QUAD fin! Look at the line in Nishii's spray in this photo. This line is designed so that the fins are set towards the back of the board, and the narrow gap between the side fins and the rear fin creates this line that appears in the spray. This board is a perfect example of the expression "wolf in sheep's clothing." Despite its retro look, it runs fast and moves nimbly! The photo was taken by the SOLO SHOT3 automatic tracking robot camera, which follows the tag attached to the left arm. These riding videos have been uploaded to Instagram here. Check out the speed and agility. We are currently waiting for additional stock boards to arrive, but this " RNF-RETRO " is an artistic resin tint color specification that requires careful work with multiple layers, so one glass factory can only produce five boards per week. Currently, we are prioritizing custom orders, so if you want to ride it quickly and reliably, we recommend a custom order! There are currently only three stockboards you can ride right away! They are all here !
