Nishii's "SUB-DRIVER-JP" POLY personal board size is: It measures 5'7" x 18 1/2" x 2 3/16", so it's not a pre-made size. I've been doing test rides for the past few days and I've come to understand that... Even if you use a shorter, thinner board that is not a standard size, We have come to understand that this is a design that we can confidently recommend. 2 inches shorter than a regular size board, One size thickness We recommend ordering two sizes larger in width. For example, 5'10" x 18 3/8" x 2 3/16" (178 x 46.7 x 5.55cm) If you are riding in 5'8"x 18 5/8"x 2 3/16"(173 x 47.3 x 5.7cm) We recommend the following. The rails and tail are thin, so the board moves quickly. The rails don't feel thick when you hold them. The tail is thin and wide, the rails are thin, and the outline is moderately wide. It feels like the SPEED DEMON that was previously in the LOST model has been diluted. As Chucky says, the SUB-DRIVER-JP has a magical design that makes you want it the moment you ride it! The consistent wave quality at LOWERS makes it perfect for testing boards.

This is an undercover report on the glass factory "GETTO HOUSE." Signatures of strong surfers written on the interior doors. Both are beautiful airbrushes. If you're very familiar with LOST, you'll probably be able to tell what models they are just by looking at the airbrush designs. This is the V2-ROCKET. This board will be sent to Luvsurf. It is a ready-made size of 5'6". If you want it, you can reserve it. (The photo was out of focus...) A heavily armed sander. He wears full body protection and has oxygen pumped into his mask to prevent inhaling the sanding dust. What Paul, the owner of "GETTO HOUSE", is showing to the show is, This is ARCTIC color form "ORCA". This is the box that contains the glass cloth. In this way, we use several brand types to match the order board. It's liquid acetone, which has a strong smell. It's used to wipe off resin before it hardens. This is the lamination mark for RNF-EVOLITION. This is the mark of the WHIPLASH-TB model. This is the hottest topic right now, the Japan-only model "SUB-DRIVER-JP" mark. I found this mark. It's gold. It's a test print, so the color isn't printed evenly yet. That doesn't seem strange at all and it feels good, but what do you think? This was an undercover report on the glass factory "GETTO HOUSE" in San Clemente.

A custom order board for the XTR V-FLEX from a Luvsurf customer. The shape is complete. LOST owns a machine called DSD that cuts blanks specifically for center stringers. The ARCTIC form storage room is the main facility used by LOST. The ARCTIC foam used is also made specifically for LOST. Previously, the mark was an iceberg, but now it's a polar bear. Of course, LOST also orders each color foam individually according to the model order from the customer. This is a custom order board from KMMIZ. The model is the 5'8" V2-RCOKET. The V2-ROCKET is very popular. This is the 5'9" F1-STUB model with ARCTIC color foam that Nishii ordered. The shape was complete. ARCTIC's color foam is also popular, and they receive many requests for custom orders from all over the world. When ordering a custom product, you can specify up to two colors of your choice. Please consider placing a custom order with ARCTIC Color Form. ARCTIC color foam can be ordered for an additional 8,400 yen, so it is better than coloring with an airbrush. It's a great value. Even if the board is slightly damaged, you can rest assured that the color will remain inside.

Nishii is in San Clemente on short notice. Five personal boards were completed. I immediately went to the LOST warehouse to pick it up.

Since I gave it away, I immediately ordered an identical board. Luvsurf USA office room. A stack of 100 stock order forms to give to LOST tomorrow. This is a copy of the board that was recently sent to Japan. Orange marks are boards that have been made by professional surfers both in Japan and abroad. Other than the LOST team riders, even WT surfers buy them with their own money. The waves at SHAW were small so we didn't surf and instead focused on packing. I found a board that Taji had been using quite a lot. The model is, of course, the well-known "WHIPLASH-TB." To prevent jet lag, I went for a quick surf at LOWERS before sunset. The waves were small for LOWERS, so I chose the ``RNF-EVOLITION.'' The size is 5'5", the same as the ready-made size. This ARCTIC color form board was posted on the web today, If you're interested, don't miss it! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/board/lost_stock.html#RNF-evo Each one has a different color design! Tomorrow I will try riding either the ``SUB-DRIVER-JP'' or the ``V2-ROCKET.''

Luvsurf TV:LOST Japan Limited Edition Model "SUB-DRIVER-JP" Chris Ward Rider: Chris Ward Board used: LOST Japan limited model 5'10" SUB-DRIVER-JP POLYESTER FILM :Koji Nishii EDIT：TABRIGADE FILM This "SUB-DRIVER-JP" model is a high-end thruster model for older men. I want to ride squash tail tri-fins like I did when I was younger! But... Kolohe's signature model "SUB DRIVER" doesn't seem to have enough buoyancy. But you can rest assured with this ``SUB-DRIVER-JP'' model! Based on the popular high performance model "SUB DRIVER", The nose and tail are wide, and the rocker is slightly lowered overall. The thickness of the board center improves paddling performance, To prevent the rails from becoming too thick, adjust the settings so that the rails feel thinner than the numerical value suggests! Specifically, this is the perfect model to step up from the RIPQUEST or POWERQUEST models! Chris Ward is also in great form, lip-syncing continuously! It's a mini Simmons-like board with a big, flat tail, perfect for ups and downs. I felt uncomfortable with the surfing style, as I couldn't experience the exhilaration of lipping the surfboard. This is a Japan-exclusive model designed for ripping, specifically for those who want to rip like they did when they were younger, and was developed to suit the wave conditions in Japan! After all, even for older guys, surfing is manly and involves lip-smacking!! Now, let's take a look at Chris Ward riding the SUB-DRIVER-JP model!

The personal board for Masato Yukawa PRO is now complete, Masato came to Love Surf today to pick up the board. There are three boards completed this time, each with a different model. One each of the ``5'11" WHIPLASH-TB'', ``5'11" F1-STUB'', and ``5'10.5" SUB-DRIVER''. Since the boards are different models, it was easy to compare the differences in shape design. It is usually not possible to compare boards of almost the same size, The more you compare the thickness balance and rocker of the boards, the more you will see the differences. Please take a look at the photos to see the difference in tail shape, which is the easiest way to explain it to everyone. The one in the front is "WHIPLASH-TB", the one in the middle is "F1-STUB", and the one at the back is "SUB-DRIVER". The tail sizes are different! The "WHIPLASH-TB" at the front is the thinnest and smallest. The middle one, "F1-STUB", is a medium size. The one at the back, the "SUB-DRIVER", is wide and large with a wide end. This is a comparison photo of the outline from the rear center of the board to the tail. "WHIPLASH-TB" is available in size S. "F1-STUB" is M size, So "SUB-DRIVER" is the L size. So the currently popular "SUB-DRIVER-JP" is an XL size. Which model is your favorite?
