Everyone! Thank you for coming to our store and purchasing so many new LOST "BIG RIG DRIVER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality!

Mr. A, LOST "BIG RIG DRIVER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality was chosen. I'm using a 6'8" fishboard, but the rocker on that board is low and the response to movement isn't very good. For his next board, he was looking for one that would take off quickly and move well. He had seen Luvsurf on YouTube and came to see it in person. He liked the shape of the high-performance board, which has buoyancy in places that are not immediately obvious, and looked cool, so he purchased the 6'4" size. Mr. B, LOST "BIG RIG DRIVER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality was chosen. He started surfing as a teenager, but had a break from it for a while. He wasn't sure which board was right for him, so he tried out nearly 10 different boards. He eventually found the perfect size for himself, and purchased the BIG RIG DRIVER. His previous boards didn't have any information on CL values, and due to weight changes and a break from surfing, he tried out boards with larger dimensions. Once he found his perfect size, he tried the longer DRIVER 3.0, and felt the quick turns he'd experienced in his performance boards in the past. He also felt the benefits of the Mayhem boards, and decided the BIG RIG DRIVER was the perfect stock size for him. He visited us and purchased the 6'2" size. Mr. C said, LOST "BIG RIG DRIVER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality was chosen. He felt that the length of the board he was using was too long and wanted to shorten it, but was worried that shortening the length of a performance board would reduce its buoyancy.Then he saw the BIG RIG on YouTube and decided that it was a board that could maintain buoyancy even when shortened and that could be expected to have good movement, so he purchased the 5'10" size. Mr. D, LOST "BIG RIG DRIVER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality was chosen. Apparently, the guys who went into the water with him were saying that the BIG RIG DRIVER looked to be in good shape. Due to its popularity, the size he wanted was sold out, and even if he had made a reservation it would not have arrived in time for Golden Week, so he had given up hope. However, when he saw that the 6'0" size was back in stock online, he immediately purchased it. As this would be his first Mayhem board, he was looking forward to his first ride. Mr. E, LOST's "BIG RIG DRIVER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality was chosen. He contacted us by email and phone and purchased the hottest model of 2025, the "BIG RIG DRIVER." At Love Surf, even if you live far away and it is difficult for us to visit our store, you can consult us about surfboards by phone or email. We will ask you about the surfboard you currently use, the type of surfing you envision with the surfboard you are considering, your home point, surfing level, age, height and weight, etc., and then recommend the best surfboard for you! https://youtu.be/u113XWqSkqQ

The "Big Rig Driver" is a driver who will "surprise" any older man who gets in!

Everyone, I've once again ridden the new model, the Big Rig Driver! At Trestles in San Clemente, where the waves have finally gotten bigger, Nishii once again rode the new 2025 model Big Rig Driver, which he can't let go of. During this session, the waves were about chest-to-shoulder size at the peak of the set and the conditions were clean, so I was able to try it out and it felt great, and I've grown to like this board even more. You can really tell the quality of a board when you ride it on beautifully breaking waves like a surfboard test course like Trestles in San Clemente, so I was able to confirm that this ``Big Rig Driver'' is, as its name suggests, a board for old guys who like to drive. When choosing the size of the Big Rig Driver, if you choose a longer size like the mid-length, even those who have moved beyond the beginner level can ride it. If you are not sure which size to ride, please call Love Surf at 03-3732-5532. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact/ Or contact us using this email inquiry form . Please tell us what board you are currently riding, your height, weight, level and your needs. We will provide you with accurate advice as often as possible, so please feel free to use our services. The "Big Rig Driver" is a driver who will "surprise" any older man who gets in! Today is the last day!!
