Learn moreWe bring you a look at the LOST Surfboards factory in San Clemente!
We bring you a look at the LOST Surfboards factory in San Clemente! It's truly impressive to see all these completed forms (blanks) lined up. Among them was a board that had been colored using an airbrush, so I'd like to introduce it to you. This is Kolohe Andino's board. Kolohe is currently residing on the North Shore of Hawaii. The boards with the same design but different colors are apparently for exhibitions. The airbrush also creates beautiful gradations. This is the round tail V3-ROCKET. It's an airbrush with a cool concept color design. The airbrush room where these colors are mixed and applied to the boards. Terry Singh's work tools used for masking airbrushes. Mayhem was working on a release flyer for the board with Rick, a designer who had moved from Volcom to Lost. Currently, we have two AKU machines in operation that cut blanks. This was a report from the LOST surfboard factory, which has increased its production capacity more than ever before. Posted by Luvsurf .

Love Surf USA team member Kei Kobayashi, 15 years old, At the Rip Curl Grom Search US Final Contest, He won the under 16 class! He is the best surfer under the age of 16 in America. That's amazing! Now I have a ticket to represent the USA at the World Championships in Bali. It's getting even more fun with everyone's support! In the final, he scored 8.5 points, showing impressive and overwhelming surfing that left the others in a lurch. Here's the Instagram video. http://i.instagram.com/p/un-H90i41D/ It was also broadcast live. http://www.ripcurl.com/events/2014-rip-curl-gromsearch.html Over 8 hours of on-demand video available here. The final will begin at approximately 8 hours and 13 minutes. Click on the 8 hour 25 minute mark to see the best score of the 8.5 point ride. Kei-kun came in third in the final last year. This year we worked hard with the goal of winning, so this is the best result we could have achieved. The board that Kei-kun is riding is a ROCKET model that catches waves quickly. This is the high-performance "V2-SB" model that can gouge the lip even in rough waves! Also, in this tournament, the athletes were wearing the same watches and competing for the fastest speed. The data for each player was published live. Nishii also wants to play with this soon. It was scheduled to arrive at the end of October, but Rip Curl contacted me to say that it was slightly delayed. Apparently it comes with a Japanese instruction manual, which is why it's delayed. It looks like it will be in stock around November 10th! We will let you know when the items arrive in order of reservation, so please wait a while until the first shipment arrives! If you haven't made a reservation yet, please do so! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=27739 Click here for more details! Posted by Luvsurf .
