Learn moreKei Kobayashi won the last WSL/QS event of 2020 and is training hard until the tour resumes in 2021!
The calm before the storm! Kei Kobayashi wins the last WSL/QS event of 2020 We are training hard until the tour resumes in 2021! Do you all know? "Kei Kobayashi" is a professional surfer who won the last WSL/QS event of 2020. That was Ron Jon Quicksilver's first QS victory on March 15th in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Then the pandemic hit the world and the WSL decided to postpone all events until March. The postponement was eventually extended until June, and then in July, the WSL announced the cancellation of all 2020 events. Winning Kei Kobayashi's first QS contest of 2020 and then having to stay home without a jersey might seem like torture, but he's happy about the situation because he's figured out how to get momentum going for his 2021 return. "In a way, I'm having a really great time because I haven't been home in a long time," Kay said. "I've been on tour for the last three or four years and it's been non-stop, so being home with my family is calming." "I think I deserve to join the world tour," he said. He is now using this time to train hard to be ready when the QS Tour returns. "I'm actually working harder than I ever have before and training harder than I ever did when I was surfing," he says. Now that he's off the tour, he's enjoying time with his family and sleeping in his own bed, but when the QS Tour returns, he's devoting all his time to practice and training.

Learn moreFreshly filmed! Exclusive session with Kei Kobayashi and Ikko Watanabe in North Chiba!
Yesterday, Sunday, I invited Kei Kobayashi and Ikko Watanabe, who were visiting Japan, We had a photo session at a minor spot in northern Chiba. It was a minor point, the waves were big, and it was a pretty outside break, We were the only two people in the water! We had the place to ourselves for the photo session. The board that Kei Kobayashi was riding was the Pocket Rocket. The board that Ikko Watanabe was riding was the `` DRIVER ''! The current was flowing from left to right offshore, and the waves were breaking irregularly in close-out conditions, so the two of them selected some good waves for their private super session, which lasted about three hours. Let's take a look at Kei Kobayashi's riding that day. The video has been posted on @lostsurfboards_japan 's Instagram, so please take a look!

Learn moreBreaking news! JPSA runner-up! "Kei Kobayashi" at Round 4, Oarai Beach, Ibaraki!
At the JPSA contest event held yesterday at Oarai Beach in Ibaraki Prefecture I went to support "Kei Kobayashi" while also taking some photos. The result was runner-up!! Nishii looked back at the video of the final heat he had taken and his thoughts were, "Kei Kobayashi" for WSL judges: Look closely at the quality of each fast-moving turn. I feel like I should have been given a score. Kei came in second place again. This result is due to the fact that the scores are given using the JPSA event format. For example, the WSL judge at the US Open said, "Charaloin Marks' backside underlip Finfree's single turn alone earned him 6.5 points. This means that WSL judges will not give high scores for turns on a slow face of a wave. Our next JPSA event will be in Izu Shirahama from October 4th to 6th. I hope he surfs the way the JPSA judges like and wins by a landslide! Good luck, Kei Kobayashi!
Learn more"VANS US OPEN" Report! "Kei Kobayashi" was eliminated in Round 3.
The size of the waves was smaller than yesterday, and the number of waves was also reduced. It was a day when none of the athletes had a chance to catch good waves as they wanted. Kei Kobayashi, who competed in Heat 2 of Round 3, was eliminated in this Round 3. Grab a set wave, decide on a layback turn, They were also able to ride the waves of renovation that are unique to Huntington Beach. I wasn't able to land any big moves like I did yesterday, so my points didn't increase. He seemed very disappointed, but I hope he continues to do his best in the second half of the QS. He also wants to participate in JPSA, so please look forward to it! Nishii has been doing this every day not only from the beach but also on the pier and I shoot from various angles, including from below.
