It is designed to be large enough to fit in your everyday life. It feels like I'm getting closer to the rails of the board.

Also contributes to speed performance *Tail design Semi-round pin tail for good control even at high speeds The following people would like to ride ROUND UP : 1 I want to take off safely and quickly even on crowded days with big waves. 2. I don't have the strength or confidence to ride big waves on a thin gunboard. 3 I want a longer board to take on an overseas surf trip. A stock board that you can ride right away will also be released along with the page!

Announcement of the "GPS Surf Watch" contest.

A few months have passed since the release date of last November, Nishii has also started to see people using it at the beach. A challenge contest for the "GPS Surf Watch" will be held. It will start in April across Japan. See above for the schedule. The product is here~ Participants will compete in top speed and longest ride in each region. The products from the top three overall are attractive! Download and fill out the "Participation Application Form" and fax it to Priority entry is available up until 5 days before the event. There are only 10 participants in each category, so we recommend that you apply for priority entry. The application form is also available at Love Surf. If you want it, I'll give it to you! The GPS surf watch will be provided by the organizer, RIPCURL. This is for people who don't have one and are unsure how to use it, so we recommend participating. Try before you buy. (You'll definitely want it.) Rather than skill, it depends on the wave conditions and points of the day. The top speed and long ride records are quite different. Please take this into consideration and enter well. By the way, everyone's speed is faster in Chiba, which is on the open ocean, than in Shonan, which is in Sagami Bay. And here is Nishii's record from yesterday: The top speed recorded was 35.6km! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/category/item/itemgenre/tide-watch-clock-other/rip-curl/ This GPS Surf Watch is super fun!

Everyone can feel the difference with FU WAX. It's so different from other waxes.

everyone! Do you use FU WAX? This photo is of Masato in East Taiwan last November. I'm using WARM. For most people, the water temperature is still cold at the moment, I think you are using "COLD" or "COOL". This was famous as FU WAXER before the world tour. Flipe Drade, 20 years old, won the first WSL event in 2015. Of course, we used FU WAX and won. Julian, who came in second place, also used FU WAX and came in second place. Kelly, Shayndrian, Strider and Ross are all smiling as they hold the world's best surf wax in their hands! If you haven't used it yet, give it a try and see for yourself! Everyone can feel the difference. It's so different from other waxes. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/11847/ You can purchase it here as well as in store! Posted by Luvsurf .

Pre-orders for 5fins' "SUB BUGGGY-JP" are now open!

"SUB BUGGGY-JP" A detuned version of Kolohe's signature "SUB-BUGGY" with a new 5-fin setting! *The Spartan SUB-BUGGY has been adapted to suit the physique and physical strength of Japanese people. *Thin rails for a sensitive response and a wide outline for easy riding *An attractive performance board designed for quad riding. "SUB BUGGGY-JP" The SUB-BUGGY is Kolohe Andino's signature model. With a strong rocker and thin rails, it's the WCT top-ranked surfer's current favorite. However, Kolohe is now 21 years old, nearly 180cm tall, and weighs nearly 75kg, with the muscle mass of a top athlete. To make the SUB-BUGGY easier for Japanese surfers with less physical strength and muscle power to ride in Japan's less powerful waves, MAYHEM detuned it to become the SUB-BUGGY-JP. Naturally, this model is sold exclusively in Japan. The original was a tri-fin board, but to make it easier for Japanese surfers to ride in Japanese waves, Mayhem was commissioned to design this performance 5-fin model, which is sold exclusively in Japan. It is a quad board, but the rear fin is positioned closer to the center fin, a setting that has recently been adopted in gunboard designs for riding big waves. It has excellent speed performance, as if there are two center fins. Mayhem has adjusted the outline and rocker curve of the design for Japanese surfers so that it can be ridden not only in a tri-fin setting, but also in a quad-fin setting. Regardless of the fin setting, the sharp, thin rail shape inherited from the SUB BUGGGY makes it a model with quick response. If you don't like the previous QUAD fins, be sure to try out the SUB BUGGGY-JP with a QUAD setting. Mayhem's new setting, which positions the two rear fins more centrally, allows for smoother riding while retaining the looseness of the QUAD fins. Of course, the performance with the TRI fin is also excellent, so we encourage you to try both fin settings depending on the wave quality and your preferences and enjoy the SUB BUGGGY-JP. It's a performance board with a point nose and squash tail, but with a wider outline and a new low rocker curve design on the bottom that's set low, it converts speed into performance without slowing down, and has excellent speed maintenance. Among the performance lines designed by MAYHEM, this board features a point nose and squash tail, but it has a wide center and relatively good buoyancy, making it easy to ride. It is a board design with a friendly concept that is suitable for surfers of all levels.

New Luvsurf TV released! LOST “SUB BUGGY-JP” Koji Nishii Koji Nishii

Luvsurf TV:LOST "SUB BUGGY-JP" Koji Nishii Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: LOST 5'8" SUB BUGGY-JP POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch FILM: Hayato Masuda EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM *Based on the "SUB BUGGGY." Its wide outline is a high-performance board design, but the Mayhem's unique look is also cool. The wide width affects paddle and takeoff speed, but doesn't hinder the maneuverability of a performance board. *The rail shape is thinner, inheriting the maneuverability of Kolohe Andino's latest signature series model, the SUB-BUGGY, allowing for more agile and nimble cutting through waves. *The rocker of the "SUB BUGGY-JP" model is Mayhem's new Magic Low Rocker, which is said to be the best in the world when it comes to making low rocker boards such as the V2-SB and SUB-DRIVER. It's an excellent curve that converts the speed gained by the board into performance without slowing it down. *The concave design is a must-see, featuring an aggressive deep single concave that supports high-speed performance. The single concave that starts from the tip of the nose, which is something never seen on other models, is a new single concave design that Mayhem has added his own style to, inspired by legendary shaper Morris Cole, who is a good friend of Mayhem's. *The tail design is a new slice wing squash tail that is slightly wider due to the 5 fins, allowing for performance surfing movements that cannot be achieved with a fish board. The following people would like to ride the SUB-BUGGY-JP: 1. I want to ride a performance board with just the right amount of buoyancy. 2 I want to ride a board that is agile and particularly fast. 3 I feel like my paddle strength is decreasing 4 I want to ride a performance quad fin board with no quirks. If you are looking for a high performance model for middle-aged people, This "SUB BUGGY-JP" model is Nishii's top pick for 2015! The riding video shows Nishii's excellent movements thanks to the characteristics of the board design. Here it is! https://vimeo.com/119204785 Posted by Luvsurf .

LOST's hot new model! Pre-orders for "DOS DIABLO" have begun before the first shipment arrives!

■ "DOS-DIABLO" (Dos Diablo) Japan-only model * A masterpiece from Mayhem! The new Diablo offers greater freedom of movement and improved paddle performance! *MAYHEM fine-tunes the "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model. Further evolution Features of "DOS-DIABLO" ・Slightly wider to increase CL value! Improved paddle performance! - A slight rocker has been added only to the tip of the nose, making it easy to handle even deep waves. - For intermediate and above surfers.・Knee to overhead size recommended. DOS-DIABLO This Japan-exclusive model has continued to evolve since the birth of the original Conquest in 2008. This latest work embodies MAYHEM's cutting-edge shaping philosophy, which states that "the outline is the most important aspect of surfboard design." MAYHEM has been creating more prototypes than ever before, and taking the time to perfect them, to create this Japan-exclusive series. The CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model released in 2014 has been further fine-tuned to allow you to catch waves like a devil and carve them like a devil. New version. Adjustments have been made to the nose and tail outline, giving it a cooler, more refined look. The slightly added rocker to the nose and the wingless squash tail outline improve performance and make it easier to ride in a wide range of wave types and sizes, from deep to thick and small. The ultimate take-off performance of the original CONQUEST model, "being able to take off from swells," has been inherited by the second generation "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO." It has been greatly improved in terms of take-off speed, and has also achieved amazing performance. At the Love Surf Cup in October 2014, most of the winners in the classes used the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO. It was not only fast in take-off, but also demonstrated extremely high performance. In 2015, the "CONQUEST" was dropped from the model name, becoming the "DOS-DIABLO." This latest refinement further evolves the board, and if you've always thought that "thicker boards don't move," stepping on the "DOS-DIABLO" will overturn that notion. Your line of sight is elevated while waiting for a wave, giving you an advantage over everyone else in finding the set and allowing you to paddle faster to the peak for the best position. The board smoothly launches into motion as you paddle for takeoff. A relaxed, relaxed takeoff establishes your stance, allowing you to take off quickly and land even the deepest, fastest waves. Now you can choose and ride waves from a wider range, not just from outside waves that were previously inaccessible. Don't forget that this model's speed maintenance is just as important as its take-off performance. This speed maintenance will allow you to ride through powerless sections of waves where you've previously lost speed and been unable to ride through. You'll be able to conquer waves you just couldn't get through, but you'll be able to ride through waves you wanted to get through. We've all had the experience of the board becoming soupy and losing speed, preventing you from getting out before that happened, but this will no longer happen thanks to the speed maintenance performance. The latest addition to the series, developed over many years by Nishii of LOST Japan and Mayhem of LOST USA. This ultimate shortboard allows weekend surfers over 40 to launch off swells like an expert, ride great waves, and look like a completely un-thick board. It's especially recommended for those who can only surf on crowded weekends. The following people are eligible to ride DOS-DIABLO. 1. I want to take off safely from the waves I want to take off and ride two sets of waves faster than anyone else. 3. I want to be able to move the board easily after getting on 4. Mainly crowded surfing on weekends 5 I don't want to ride a board that just has buoyancy and doesn't move.
