This is a report from DAY 5 in Eastern Taiwan, where Sunday morning was the busiest yet.
Today is Sunday, so there were a lot of surfers there from early in the morning. Sunday mornings are the busiest times all over the world, but the ocean is empty. Here, Masato borrowed a Sub-Scorcher II model and was surfing with it looking good. This is Nakano from STJ magazine. Masato was surfing with a MAYHEM single fin. The air was also decided. Nishii is the test model, 5'5" EFC by HydroFlex. It's a wild monkey The town is located on the coast, so the sea and the mountains are very close. While browsing the board rack of an Italian restaurant owner in the corner where we had lunch Photographer Kenyu and Masato. The weather is good, so aerial photography is going smoothly. The first floor of the inn where I am staying is a restaurant and bar. Dinner is uniquely Taiwanese. I went to a festival. There was a game like this Shooting with an air gun. It was a game where you had to make beer bottles stand up with rings. It was difficult and no one could make it. Apparently the weather was bad during the week when the ASP was held, with rain and clouds. The waves are overhead every day and the weather is good, so the filming is going smoothly. Please look forward to it being published in STJ magazine! Posted by Luvsurf .

Nishii arrived in California yesterday and started filming with Masato this morning. The wind has been blowing from the south for the past few days, so Salt Creek is the best place. Today we're filming Masato's riding here. The waves here are the best, so the O'Neill team came to take photos. There are a lot of young players, including Corey, Jordy Smith, and Taylor Clark. Masato will be having a session with everyone as part of the Japanese O'Neill team. The board I'm riding is SUB-SCOCHER2. There is a buoyancy volume a little while ago, This is a high performance board, but it excels in catching waves, which is unique to the SCOCHER series design. Kolohe, who recently came in second in the WCT, was also there, dominating the others with his confident surfing. The success rate of the air reverse was impressive, and of course we recorded it on video. Lost Surfboards in San Clemente. Freshly completed boards line the racks. You can see several boards with black rails in the three rows in the foreground, which are XTR-FX boards. Even with this number of boards, there are only a few left, so it's clear that these are valuable boards that require an extremely long and laborious process to produce. Masato is currently having SHAW fill out an order form for his next board. This time I ordered the ``SHORT ROUND'' and ``SUB-SCORCHER2''. This is a newly established storage room for custom boards from PROs and new boards from LOST team riders. Masato found Julian W's board and checked it out right away. So please look forward to tomorrow's CA report. Posted by Luvsurf .

In the first session of the morning, Masato is applying FU WAX. I met a local in Taiwan riding the Precebo TABLET2 model! It's in the background. This is a shop that serves delicious handmade steamed meat buns, so I've decided to have breakfast here. The straw is a "suction tube." I looked around at a variety of points. Masato, who broke the nose of his favorite SUB-SCORCHER2, is checking the waves with a pole for some reason. This is the lunchtime scene. Two photographers 1 driver 1 guide 1 STJ editor It is run by seven people. There's a whole bunch of filming equipment. I'm staying at a surf shop called 5 SURF. This time, it was an interview for STJ magazine, so there are detailed photos of the waves. I can't do it yet, but today was really good. I record every time with RIP CURL's GPS Surf Watch . Today I reached my fastest speed of 28.8km. http://searchgps.ripcurl.com/#/profile/54573a565001c08d46fd64e 5 For more details on the number of waves Nishii rode in his session and the boards he rode, please click here.

Here's a report from Lost Surfboards in San Clemente the day after the WCT ended. Today I have a meeting with Dave, the CEO of LOST Surfboards. Starting this year, Dave will be the representative. They are strict with their work and have made it more systematized than before, which allows for better board management and faster completion. The number of staff has increased and everyone is working hard. I used this as a reference to determine the size of the long board Masato requested for Hawaii. I was searching the system for custom sizes for Korohe. Among Kolohe's orders, Taji, Bread, and Mason We also accept orders for LAS OLAS (Luvsurf). LOST traction is selling like hotcakes in the USA too. It seems that the flat type without arch bars, which is suitable for wide boards, is popular. I found a board that was traded in from Julian Wilson, We have selected some of the best quality copies. Some are even signed! These boards will be shipped to Luvsurf so stay tuned for their arrival!
