Report from CA! We visited HydroFlex, the company that makes EFC.
Nishii is in California again. We had a meeting with Hydroflex, the company that makes EFC boards, which many customers have asked about. I went to visit. This is just the introduction, a shot of JW riding a Hydroflex board in Fiji. Love Surf has a board with the same specifications as this one. LOST『DRIVER』HYDROFLEX-EPS/MARKO/RASIN TINT SQUASH TAIL/5 FIN FCS II/ 5 FCSII fins included ¥170,000 (excluding tax) / ¥183,600 (including tax) #118398 5'6″ x 18.75″ x 2.22” (168 x 47.6 x 5.6 cm) 55~65kg 24.63cl Please see here for detailed photos of the board. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/26802/ This is Nishii's next EFC personal board. The EFC board is only colored with resin stain color, I tried using white resin stain on the entire board and then painting black on top of it. You can't create gradations with an airbrush, The HydroFlex Factory will also do simple color coding, so We would like to inform those who are considering EFC. This is SHAW's personal board. Unlike Nishii's boards, the black parts are epoxy resin stain color. I recommend this one as the texture is better. We saw Red Card boards (order forms for Japanese customers) being produced one after another in the factory. I've checked it. This is a custom order board from a customer in Japan, with fin plugs being installed. This is another customer's board that is nearing completion. EFC boards are light, strong, waterproof, and have a great ride feel, so be sure to consider them as your next board! We currently only accept custom orders, so if you're interested, please consider ordering soon. The delivery time is currently 3-4 months. Posted by Luvsurf .

Learn more5'5" x 19 1/4": The classic "Round Nose Fish" from Lost that revolutionized all board design.
The masterpiece that revolutionized all board designs: the Round Nose Fish. Have you seen the movie "5'5" X 19 1/4"? This is how Mayhem revolutionized surfboard design. The classic "Round Nose Fish" model from Lost, which became the roots of today's short, buoyant surfboard designs. Chris Ward, Corey Lopez, Andy Irons and others are riding the big waves in Hawaii. At the time, everyone was trying to ride boards that were skinny, thin, rockered, about 6'2" long, like potato chips. It's a movie that made me realize this. The title is "5'5" X 19 1/4". The DVD version was recently restocked. If you haven't seen the original yet, be sure to check it out. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/5877/ You can purchase it here. The latest version, "5'5" X 19 1/4" REDUX," was released 13 years later. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/5876/ You can purchase it here. REWIND ME Lost's 5'5" X 19 1/4" It is now available on the WHAT YOUTH website, so we would like to introduce it to you. In 1966, Chris Ward called Lost shaper Matt "Mayhem" Biolos from Hawaii and said, "I want a Fish. Tom Curren's here and he's riding a Fish. I want one too." When he heard that over the phone, Matt thought about what he meant. "I sent some over and Chris picked them up," Bioros recalled. "When Chris called, I had no idea what he was talking about, but I went to a few surf shops and got inspired by '80s board designs and started working on a fishboard." As the polar opposite of the bubblegum pop tropes of Taylor Steel's films, The first album released by Lost, "What's Really Going On," Looking back at 1997, after the release of their second album, What's Really Going Wrong, The surfing industry may have been in a recovery phase. The Lost Mikes were recording their daily lives on video wherever they went. On the street, at a party, in the ocean. No skits, no staged acting. Just the real thing. At the time, surfboards had way too much rocker, weren't wide or bulky, and were tipped over like the bananas on ELF shoes, but Chris Ward and Corey Lopez were ripping up waves around the North Shore on their "little discs." While cameraman Drew Todd was following them around, they were always riding their boards, so it was amazing. Apparently he reported to Leora and Bioros, saying, "I can't believe it! What's going on?" This achievement marks the third lost video. That's when the 6'2" shortboards started to disappear and people started riding boards that were shorter than normal (2-4 inches). The film takes you by surprise because it's an original (no elaborate editing) that goes at everything - waves of any size. Check it out as we talk with Mike Leola and Matt Biolos about the new RewindMe featuring 5'5" x 19 1/4 and other weird stuff. (Click below to play) * Posted by Luvsurf .

Learn moreIntroducing "HYDROFLEX-EFC" *White* epoxy resin color board.
Introducing the "HYDROFLEX-EFC" white epoxy resin color board. This is the "HYDROFLEX-EFC" board that I've been recommending for a while now. This board comes in a white epoxy resin color. Epoxy resin, which is said to be prone to yellowing, can be treated with "HYDROFLEX-EFC" in this way. The white color is mixed with the epoxy resin and then 3D vacuum glass is applied. Yellowing is not noticeable, so you can ride your board for a long time in a clean condition. The board is so strong that it almost never peels off, and even if SHAW or MASATO air blows it, it doesn't dent the deck. The surface strength of the board is strong, so it can be ridden for an amazingly long period of time. We recommend custom ordering your board with resin color. This board is entirely in white, Original colors and color coding are also possible, so please consider it. Posted by Luvsurf .

The speed and ease of take-off, the light movement, the acceleration of the board, Watch as the board fits and surfs the wave with each turn. The take-off performance has been inherited from the previous model "CONQUEST" and has been surpassed. The grab rail prevents the wear and tear of dolphin-diving. When you want to perform some action, the squash tail behind the wing is thin so you can easily control it with your back foot. The HYDROFLEX-EFC board has a smooth, supple ride, and the board flexes as it is pushed into the wave, surpassing the POLY board. The smooth flex allows for great turns. It is as light as the Polyester WCT level pros use it. According to the HYDROFLEX announcement, it is strong enough that there is no need to worry about peeling during normal use. The 100% waterproof "HYDROFLEX-EFC" board has foam that does not absorb water. You'll be riding your board for years to come, feeling as light as when you first bought it. It can be used for a long time and has a high resale value when you let it go, so although it is an expensive board, it is recommended for senior surfers who can afford it. Please add this to your list of materials for your next board of consideration. The ride of boards made from "HYDROFLEX-EFC" material is excellent. It is equipped with a high-performance suspension and an engine that accelerates with a good balance of power and weight. You can surf with the feeling that you are riding in a luxury sports car with excellent safety. The CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model was designed and developed for surfers over 40 years old.
