Learn moreA report on the waves at Shichirigahama, which was hit by a typhoon, and the new "V2-GRINDER"!
Hello everyone. This is Yuji, a staff member. The other day, a typhoon swell hit, I went to Shonan Shichirigahama, That wave and LOST's new work "V2-GRINDER" I would like to introduce the report today. The wind on this day was weak from the northeast, and had no effect on the surface. Sizes range from square to large, The whole set was over my head. The face remains firm from the early break. The waves are typical of Shichirigahama, and you can run into them. At speed It was a very good wave with 2-3 action possible. However, after about an hour, the tide started to rise, The size is head to head over, The set goes up to half a head over, The break was wide and unbroken... You can take off and run in, If you get a series of bad sets after riding, I got stuck with my paddling strength, It was a bit difficult. While being pushed around by the surf, I realized I've been in there for five hours and I'm exhausted. And now we get to the main topic. My brother, who has been a customer since the Love Surf Open, I recently purchased the V2-GRINDER . On this day, I used my favorite "SUB-BUGGY-JP" I rented it to compare the two. Both are suitable for a wide range of conditions, from small waves to It is positioned as a performance board, I was very curious about the differences between these two models. The size is "V2-GRINDER" 5'8×19×2.32 27.0cl "SUB-BUGGY-JP" 5'8 x 19 x 2.25 25.75cl Naturally, this was my first time riding the V2-GRINDER. My impression after riding one was "It's just so fast!" Fast paddle, fast takeoff, fast start, The turns are also fast. Especially when you make one turn after starting to run. The speed is unimaginable. At first I thought it might be due to the difference in volume. It would be fine if it was just the paddle and take-off speed, The speed once it started running could not be explained by the CL value. I realized that this was a characteristic of the V2-GRINDER . A short and thick "V2-SB" with a devil's rocker By giving it volume, it creates a strong resilience, That creates more speed. This allows for quick acceleration even with a short face, Hard using that speed It enables action. I also rode the SUB-BUGGY-JP to compare it, The paddles on the V2-GRINDER are slightly faster. This is probably due to the difference in cl value. The V2-GRINDER is also slightly faster in takeoff. It feels like "SUB-BUGGY-JP" is coming from behind at the end. There is a speed that gives you a push, The V2-GRINDER is designed to bend the wave from the nose It has the speed to bite into anything. When it comes to riding, the SUB-BUGGY-JP is It's so quick, it feels like your intentions are being conveyed directly. Rail work and turns are possible, From there, things accelerate and lead to big action. On the other hand , "V2-GRINDER" will start from rail work after takeoff. He went full speed in one go, taking advantage of his speed and aiming. Big actions are possible. The waves were pretty big that day, I would like to try riding it on small waves as well. Probably riding small waves with small turns in the same way. "SUB-BUGGY-JP" in action Even in small waves, it accelerates quickly and jumps up the weak face You can't go wrong with the action-packed "V2-GRINDER." The photo shows professional golfers Nishii and Kei Kobayashi. Both are suitable for a wide range of conditions, This is a new generation performance board that enables action. Intermediate and above surfers who want to take action regardless of the wave If you choose these two models to match your style, It's sure to make your surfing more enjoyable. These are two models that I highly recommend! Well, I'll report back to you again next time. thank you. ★Click here for an explanation of the LOST "V2-GRINDER" model! ★To purchase LOST's "V2-GRINDER" >>here! ★Click here for an explanation of the LOST "SUB-BUGGY-JP" model! ★Purchase LOST's "SUB-BUGGY-JP" here!
