...lost'CARBON WRAP' will take your surfing to the next level!

From California! An undercover report on the Lost Surfboard Factory!

Nishii has been in California for a few days. Mayhem was away on a business trip to Florida, but we managed to sneak into the LOST Surfboard Factory and report back here. A board with an American flag design on the board rack in front of the airbrush room. This is a custom order board. This is the "BEAN BAG" model. I bet if "BEAN BAG" was airbrushed like this it would make you want to ride it hard! There was also an airbrushed and Spitz painted board with an adult feel like this. The outline of the round pin is beautiful. This is the MAGIC V3-ROCKET that Nate Illemans actually rode. Nate is known to be a V3-ROCKET fan. He currently works at LOST Surfboards, where he is in charge of sales to surf shops in Southern California. LOST Surfboards is an amazing company to have a former WCT surfer in such a position. Here we find an order from Schoen Beschen's eldest son, Noah Beschen. The model is the "V2-GRINDER," which is highly sought after by LOST riders. The V2-GRINDER was the one ridden by Reika Noro, who won the Chiba QS the other day. The V2-GRINDER was also the model used by Kei Kobayashi, who won the previous JPSA competition in Bali. It's a popular model, and even Love Surf has received pre-orders before it even arrived, so we can't keep it in stock, and we've received many custom orders. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a competition board. Inside the factory, I saw rows and rows of MARKO's stringerless EPS foam, more than I'd ever seen before. Anyone with a keen sense of intuition could already guess what kind of board this stringerless EPS foam would make. That's right, it's "CARBON WRAP." These boards are, of course, custom-ordered, but when I asked the factory manager, Andrew, he told me that customers are ordering boards with the same dimensions (sizes) as their favorite models that they've ridden in the past. Indeed, people have recently been calling it the "World's Best Epoxy Board" on the web and social media, and it has been featured prominently in media around the world, spreading word of mouth, so you'll definitely want to order the "CARBON WRAP" in the best model and with the best dimensions. Speaking of which, when Nishii first came to Mayhem to ask him what he wanted for his first test board for CARBON WRAP, he asked for the 5'8" SUB-BUGGY-JP . Since then, the 5'8" SUB-BUGGY-JP is my fourth CARBON WRAP . If you can't find your perfect board in the stock boards, we encourage you to consider a CARBON WRAP custom order ! Now, on the fourth day of CA, Nishii hasn't been surfing because the waves have been small every day. He can do it if he pushes himself in knee-high waves, but the forecast says the waves will come out soon, so he's working before then. It's like this at LOWERS, where you can manage even if you can't surf. At LOWERS, the pro-am junior contest for those under 20 years old will start next Tuesday. Apparently, 250 representative players selected from around the world are gathering, so the competition is sure to be amazing. Kei, who lives at LOWERS, is also participating as a representative of the USA, so we're looking forward to it. Young Japanese pro-am players are also attending. We'll be reporting on the competition in the future, so stay tuned! The waves are forecast to get better and better, so we're looking forward to it!

We have just received some new products that reek of Southern California . This is the beach towel . I recommend this towel because it will brighten your mood before and after surfing, rather than using a dirty, worn-out towel when you go surfing. It's also antibacterial and deodorizing, so even older surfers can use it with confidence. It comes in a box like this, making it the perfect gift! And here is ``SURF GRASS MAT'', also from Southern California. It's already being used by many smart and stylish surfers, and now it's available in a big size!

FU WAX: A must-have for CHIBA PRO QS 6000 competitors

Is there anyone who hasn't tried FU WAX yet? FU WAX is a surf wax that is trusted by professional surfers and imported all the way from Brazil by Love Surf. Nishii is currently in Shidashita, Chiba Prefecture for the CHIBA PRO QS 6000 tournament, and this ``FU WAX'' is a must-have item for competitors at the contest venue. However, because there are so many surfers in the USA and other countries, where it is difficult to get hold of them due to hoarding, they are said to be very precious to surfers. The current number one ranked artist in the JPSA is "Kei Kobayashi," and of course, "FU WAXER." This is Leonardo, currently ranked #1 on the QS rankings, and the famous FU WAXER. I only brought WARM, so I was asked where I could buy COOL. "Hideyoshi Tanaka" is a heavy-duty "FU WAXER" who has been using FU WAX for a long time. He says that when he runs out, he buys it at a shop in Chiba. Mason first used FU WAX as a child about two years ago and has been using it ever since. However, it is not as easy to find in Hawaii as it is in California. The 2015 US Open champion, professional golfer Hiroto Ohara, is also a famous "FU WAXER." San Clemente's Pat Dagaskas, a world-famous FU WAXER, showed me how he now owns three COOLs. This is Takumi Nakamura of the FU WAX Japan PRO team, who has now advanced to Round 3 and is hoping to win Round 4. At the WSL CHIBA PRO QS 6000 tournament venue, the water temperature is dropping, so it's a good idea to apply COOL over WARM! Please call those who use the same "FU WAX" as you as "FU WAXER"! Is there anyone who isn't using it yet?

LOST's "SUPER DIABLO" is in great shape! Why not give it a try?

My favorite model these days is LOST's " SUPER DIABLO." The tail shape is different from the PLACEBO "GOBLIN" design. If you're a reader of this blog, you probably know that. Only the center is very thick and has plenty of buoyancy, Anyone who rides it will be surprised at how fast the paddle moves. This allows for a quick takeoff from the swell. Another great feature of this model is that the tail kicks in very well. Because it's thick, you can paddle quickly, and once you get on, you can step on the tail and it moves easily. Among the many Mayhem boards with thick center numbers, this is the easiest to control. You can paddle easily and catch a lot of waves. LOST "SUPER DIABLO" POLYESTER stock boards are now in stock in all sizes! Now you can compare the sizes before and after making your choice! One of the reasons we recommend the LOST "SUPER DIABLO" is that it has stock board sizes in 1-inch increments. This means you can choose from subtle intermediate sizes like 5'5", 5'7", and 5'9", which are not available with the PLACEBO "GOBLIN", which has stock board sizes in 2-inch increments. Anyway, LOST 's "SUPER DIABLO" is designed to be easy for older guys to ride! LOST's "SUPER DIABLO" is in great shape! Why not give it a try?

Please check it out! The new LOST leash cord model has arrived and is selling well!

Every time you surf, the leash cord gets pulled by the waves and gets damaged without you even realizing it. Since it is removed and used many times, the Velcro part becomes weaker the more you use it. The cord can get scratched or stretched by pulling. As the material ages, At Love Surf, we recommend replacing your leash cord once a year. This year's new LOST models have arrived for everyone to look forward to! It has a design on the inside cuff and is more popular than last year. Not only are there more fun colors than ever before, but we also have more sophisticated colors for older guys in stock. LOST leash cords are available here! There are two thicknesses. 『 LOST 』 HIGH PERFORMANCE leash [COMP] 5mm [FREE SURF] 6.5mm Please choose your leash carefully, just like your board and WET!
