Learn moreNew Luvsurf TV released! LOST “DIABLO-X” CARBON WRAP Koji Nishii Part 1
New Luvsurf TV released! LOST “ DIABLO-X ” CARBON WRAP Koji Nishii Part 1 Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: LOST " DIABLO-X " CARBON WRAP FILM & EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM The 2018 model, DIABLO-X , continues to evolve from the original Japan-only model, LOST's CONQUEST. It is equipped to assist rail switching on thick, buoyant boards. The traditional "elevator wing" has also become longer and sharper, continuing to evolve. The DIABLO-X is aimed at adult surfers around the age of 40, and is a board that will not only help you ride and float on many waves, even on crowded Sunday mornings, the busiest time of the week, but will also allow you to catch many waves in a short amount of time and enjoy surfing with a smile on your face. Nishii teamed up with Matt "MAYHEM" Biolos, one of the world's top high-performance board shape designers, to create this model, which has been extensively researched, developed, and test ridden with a focus on paddle and take-off performance. What is particularly noteworthy about the design of the DIABLO-X is the thinness of the rails and their maneuverability. It has plenty of buoyancy (CL value) and a thick center thickness, but the rails are so thin you wouldn't expect that from the thickness, so even though the board is thick in the center, you can easily do rail work and move around. The DIABLO-X has the athletic performance to satisfy even advanced riders! It gets thinner and thinner from the center of the board to the rails. The actual board design of the "Dome Deck Design" is a must-see! With the DIABLO-X in hand, and the buoyancy to your advantage, you can enjoy surfing at the most popular surf spot on the weekends, which always gets crowded with people. Catch more waves than anyone else, make sharp turns, and head home happily with a smile on your face! https://vimeo.com/254090097

Make it a board you can be proud of! Even on small, choppy waves, you can take off super quickly and catch the waves! This model was custom-made for Mayhem and developed specifically for the crowded, small waves of Shonan, where the waves are often weak and small. This ultra-fast takeoff model is named after the killer whale of the sea. It feeds on 300kg polar bears and whales, and even attacks and kills great white sharks. It's designed to compete and win against funboarders and longboarders other than advanced surfers in Shonan. The bottom features a dome-shaped HULL bottom design, similar to the bottom of a boat. This cutting-edge design allows for easy rail work, carving and slash turns, and lip control even on extremely wide boards. The design is fundamentally different from the flat bottoms found on retro or beginner-level funboards. Of course, the takeoff is incredibly fast, but the initial speed after taking off and standing up is incredible; if you push the rail into the wave and set it in the direction you want, the board will start to move forward and you'll be able to easily get through even the slower sections. While the maneuverability of the Japan-exclusive DIABLO series model is superior, the ORCA offers superior buoyancy, a flat rocker, and a flat outline for a large water contact area, providing excellent stability when paddling! Its quick takeoff makes it easy to move forward. Use the ORCA in small, weak waves and crowded spots. We guarantee you'll be able to catch a ton of waves. It's also recommended for those who want to break away from longboards that are difficult to carry, or who don't like the clunky, beginner-style funboards. The fins are only available with 5 plugs/FCS specification so that you can ride with quad, tri, or 5 fins. (Professional Nishii Impressions) " Orca " is a Japan-exclusive model designed specifically for small, crowded waves. Even in crowded, small waves, the board glides smoothly with a light paddle, allowing for effortless action. The Orca is wide, but moves well and doesn't sink even when it hits the soup, allowing for long rides without losing speed. Experience the board's super-fast takeoff performance, sliding sideways before takeoff even in slow waves where a regular board would never be able to gain initial speed, or in small, powerless waves.

The latest installment in the DIABLO series! The design, focused on paddle and takeoff performance, inherited from LOST's original Japan-only model, the CONQUEST, has evolved and been passed down. The focus on paddle performance makes paddling faster and easier. The Japan-only model also features a "dolphin grab rail," which makes it easier to grip the buoyant rails of the board when dolphining, a feature now essential for this board. The DIABLO-X has a solid center thickness, but the rails are thin, making it the thinnest rail shape in the series to date. The rails are designed to be so thin you might wonder if the board's CL value is really that great, which allows the rails to penetrate and increase control even in rough, hard-surfaced waves with bad winds. Of course, sharper rail control is possible in flat, undulating waves. The greatest performance feature of this model is its maneuverability. The rails are much easier to tilt than previous models, allowing for sharp turns even on the flat faces that are common in Japanese waves. The thin rails make it easy to glide through the waves on a high line, so you can now enjoy exhilarating rides through damper sections that you couldn't get through before. We are pleased to announce that DIABLO-X has the best mobility in the series. The maneuverability of the DIABLO-X is of course excellent in good waves, but it really shines in Japan's beach breaks, where the wave breaks can change suddenly. The tail design is a super swallow tail, so even if the tail floats at high speeds, it's easy to control by holding it down with your back foot. It also features the series' traditional "elevator wing" for quick response. The elevator wing has been updated with a sharp edge, and just by looking at the actual shape design created by MAYHEM, you can imagine the agility of riding it. The rocker design is based on the curve of LOST's top PRO-FORMANCE model, "DRIVER," and the rocker curve of "DRIVER" has been softened to suit the wave conditions in Japan and take into account the physical strength and level of Japanese surfers around the age of 40. FCS2 5 fins are standard. This is a hybrid fin position that allows you to enjoy both QUAD and TRI. The DIABLO-X was developed in collaboration with Mayhem of LOST, the world's fastest and most cutting-edge surfboard designers who have sent 10 surfers to the WSL World Tour, and Nishii of Love Surf. This board offers excellent drive, is agile, and offers a fast and easy paddle. It's designed for older guys who love the pointed nose board design they've been riding for years. Nishii has already ridden the DIABLO-X for several rounds, and can confidently say that the DIABLO-X's rails are thin, so it doesn't feel thick, and it has a "sharp-moving" design that is agile and has superior maneuverability. Be sure to get your hands on the latest in the series, "DIABLO-X," developed and designed by MAYHEM, one of the world's top shapers, for the people of Japan! Now that it's in stock, you can ride it right away! Check it out in store or on our web store!
