The new LOST Japan-exclusive model test ride is unveiled for the first time. It's called "Short Round"!
We shot a riding video for the new LOST Japan-exclusive model on T-STREET. MAYHEM names the model "Short Round" as a special small wave board for the SHAW contest. This is a competition board shaped and designed by SHAW, who has won two consecutive NSSA men's classes. The fins are FCSII 5-fin specifications, and SHAW always surfs with 5 fins. The board is 5'0" long. The photos up to this point were taken with a wide lens, so it's hard to see the outline of the board, but Simply put, it is a short, round board. It may look similar to the COUCH POTATO or LAYZ POTATO, but It has a pointed nose and a different squash shape to the tail. I think this photo makes it easier to imagine. The super deep single axel concave at the tail end of the bottom generates incredible speed in small waves. According to SHAW, if you attach the AUROLA REY fins you can ride overhead. It can be ridden as short as a COUCH POTATO, allowing for the movements of a shortboard suitable for competitions. This is a new mini board design from MAYHEM, joining the lineup as a new Japan-exclusive model for 2014. Nishii has also ridden this board and feels that it is quick, sharp, and allows for fast and crisp movements. Nishii recorded SHAW's surfing on video this time, so please look forward to its release! We will continue to release information about the "Short Round" model, so please look forward to it! Posted by Luvsurf .
Learn moreThe reason we recommend the ANCHOR wetsuit is because it has Anchor Care!
Two of Nishii's "ANCHOR" wetsuits for this winter have been completed. The two models that are equally popular are "HAGOROMO" and "ATOMIK". For "ATOMIK," we chose a simple all-black color scheme. The only difference in the 2014 model is the color of the "A" in the mark. Of course, you can still use the same color marks as before. The "HAGOROMO" model is a purple color combination, I tried to combine dark and light colors. Our staff member Kabashima's "ANCHOR" wetsuit is also finished. The model I chose was the all 3mm "HAGOROMO" model. The colors to choose from are black and navy. Why Luvsurf recommends the ANCHOR wetsuit? High-performance wetsuits in the same price range are not available from other manufacturers. This is because it comes with Anchor's highly popular proprietary "ANCHOR Care." You can also use Care online with free round-trip shipping. "ANCHOR CARE" What is Anchor Care? When the weather warms up and you no longer need this full suit, try our Anchor Care maintenance-free system. We offer free inspection and repair of loose cuts, loose stitching, and peeling markings, ensuring your suit remains in the same condition as when you first purchased it, so you can wear it comfortably again next season. If you're busy or live far away and can't visit us, please send it to us via Sagawa Express, postage paid by the customer. *This can only be done once within six months of purchase. (A fee will be charged for fabric replacement.) The "ANCHOR" wetsuit is being produced by Toshi's Marine Project, the same company that produces the Cyber Wetsuit, and for a limited time, they are offering an express finishing service where orders placed by January 12th will be completed in just one week from the order date! I really want a new WET, but is it too late to order one now? If you're thinking this way, please reconsider. You can wear it right away! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/goods/anchor.html For more information on each model and price, please click here.

Learn moreWhat are the two main reasons to choose a board made from LOST's XTR-FX material?
I arrived in Japan from San Clemente at the end of last year. I rode Nishii's new personal board , the "LAYZ POTATO," made of XTR-FX material, for the first time in 2014. The fins are WARd5 fins in a QUAD setting. I tried riding it in the TRI setting, with the QUAD's smaller rear fin in the center. This "LAYZ POTATO" XTR-FX board is of course equipped with the latest FCSII plugs, When using AUROLA fins, *To prevent the fins from slipping, *To ensure smooth flow without letting the water flow into the box, As you can see here, I used an infill kit. Boards with FCSII plugs do not have FCS screws, I also put in 10 screws myself later and rode it. The board size is 5'5", the same as the ready-made size listed on the website: 5'5" x 19 5/8" x 2 1/4" (165 x 49.8 x 5.7 cm) Intermediate 47-52kg Advanced 52-57kg 27.5cl The flex of the XTR-FX is really great. Of all the XTR carbon materials available to date, this one has the flexibility that is closest to POLY, allowing you to step on the board. When you step on it, the board sinks and bends, and then it bounces back up with great force as it tries to return to its original shape. This high rebound performance, which bounces up like a strong spring, is unique to the XTR foam, called "SPEED FLEX." It bounces back quickly, so when you step on the board, it accelerates quickly, similar to the feeling of suddenly stepping on the accelerator in a car. How was it possible to recreate the flex of POLY? Arctic blanks (foam) used in Lost's POLY boards usually consist of three wooden stringers glued together, but the XTR blanks in the XTR-FX boards are made of just one, which is extremely effective, as the wooden stringer is only one-third the thickness. The new square carbon material, which is attached to both rails using a vacuum method, is larger in size, so it has better flexibility than small, square carbon material, and is much softer than the previous 3D CARBOLIC Kevlar carbon material, so the board flexes. There are currently six ready-to-ride board models made from the "XTR-FX" material. "LAYZ POTATO" http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/layz-potato "COUTH POTATO" http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/couch-potato "SUB-DRIVER-JP" http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/sub-driver-jp SUB-SCORCHER II http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/sub-scorcher2 "BEACH BUGGY" http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/beach-buggy "STEALTH II" http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/stealth-ii The flex of the XTR-FX, which overturns the image that XTR boards are stiff, can only be experienced by those who ride it. Those who have ridden XTR boards up until now will definitely be the ones who notice the difference the most, so I would definitely encourage you to give it a try. Of course, it is also recommended for those who are switching from POLY to XTR boards for the first time, as the high-rebound "SPEED FLEX" performance will allow you to seamlessly transition from a POLY board. High-rebound "SPEED FLEX" performance and Another reason to choose the XTR-FX board is that it is waterproof. As you may already know, the blanks (foam) used in the XTR-FX do not absorb water. You can ride the board lightly for as long as you like! (This is something that many people don't know, so please remember it.) Posted by Luvsurf .

Learn moreThree popular sizes of the "SUB-DRIVER" model are now available! Equipped with "FCS II"!
The standard tri-fin design is extremely popular, and stock boards were sold out. Three popular sizes of the "SUB-DRIVER" model are now in stock! This is the first time we have received a board equipped with the latest FCSII! Kolohe and Mayhem are currently researching and developing the SUB-DRIVER, the #1 LOST custom order model, and we've just received a stockboard with the latest design in a popular size! If you're looking for a slightly wider, high-performance board, we recommend the ever-evolving SUB-DRIVER from MAYHEM. I wonder if the SUB-DRIVER-JP model is too thick and big. It's easier to ride than the F1-STUB or WHIPLASH-TB. This is a high-performance board recommended for those who want a little more buoyancy than the BEACH BUGGY. The special model introduction page is here! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/sub-driver Please follow the videos posted by the pros and master the ride.
