Learn moreThere's a big difference between having one and not having one! What is a "Dolphin Grab Rail"?
It is featured in the Japan-only model of LOST&PLACEBO. We will explain about the "Dolphin Grab Rail". The grooves on both rails of the deck of Japan-exclusive model boards from LOST and PLACEBO make it easier to grip the rails when dolphin-throwing. There are other benefits too!! (Try applying some wax as shown in the photo to improve the grip.) ・No grip strength required = no fatigue. - You can do a deeper dolphin dive, which means you can get out quickly and easily. -Even thick or buoyant boards can be easily sunk. that's why! Older surfers who are losing their grip strength, For female surfers with small hands and weak strength, The rails are very easy to grip and have been well received! The "Dolphin Grab Rail" makes a big difference between having it and not having it. The "Japan-only models" equipped with this feature are as follows: LOST "DIABLO-X" LOST "EVIL TWIN-JP" LOST "RNF-REDUX" LOST "DOS-DIABLO" PLACEBO "DIABLO-X" PLACEBO "ZEKE" PLACEBO “LAYZ POTATO-REDUX” PLACEBO "TABLET-REDUX" PLACEBO "RE-LOADED " Be sure to try out this Japan-exclusive model equipped with the Dolphin Grab Rail! Other manufacturers often have grab rail grooves from nose to tail to make it easier to grip when airing, but this increases the surface area and creates a longer depression, which makes the board less flexible. For LOST and PLACEBO, Mayhem Design has calculated the shortest length possible for each model to preserve the board's flexibility, even down to the precise mounting position. This grab rail requires a lot of work from the shaper, glasser, and sander, so it takes extra time to make, but when placing a custom order , you can also add this "Dolphin Grab Rail" to models that don't come with it as standard. If you're looking for a custom order, please consider it!

For benefits 1 and 2, you can choose your favorite item from the store's stock! And we would like to recommend the first release at this order fair! We are now accepting orders for boards made with a new material technology called "BLACK DART"! High performance stringerless EPS foam interior. The deck is made of a special unidirectional carbon deck cloth that is strong yet flexible, wrapped in epoxy resin. Flexibility is outstanding! The board is also light and strong. The BlackDart surfboard construction is It was developed by Florida-based Epoxy composites mastermind Drew Bagget. ...Lost Surfboards worked with Drew to fine-tune and license the technology. The BlackDart is built using a virgin 1.5 stringerless EPS core. The most eye-catching feature is that the entire deck is wrapped in our custom-made carbon/S-glass hybrid "BlackDart" material. All carbon fiber is unidirectionally spun from nose to tail, The S-fiberglass runs across the width (rail to rail). It's not a traditional two-way carbon wave. This material (i.e. this board) has nothing to do with stiffness. than a board made with traditional bidirectional carbon fiber fabric. Furthermore, it is a material that snaps and buckles (bends) very easily. This board still has quick reaction, high responsiveness, and It has the advantage of carbon fiber's shape memory. It does not have the problems that two-way carbon waves have. The second advantage is the hybrid cross. You can create beautiful color combinations using tints and pigments. The advantage is that it allows for a very good contrast between the S-glass fibre and the carbon. The carbon covers the entire deck and wraps all the way around the rails, but not all the way to the bottom. This will keep the board from becoming too stiff. Only a light 4 oz cloth is applied to the bottom. The bottom is made of two layers of 4 oz. cloth. This results in a long-lasting board that is less likely to dent even with daily use. "That was 10 years ago. When I was using a board with two-way carbon fiber tape, That's when I experienced a buckle (bend) that was as sharp as a samurai's sword. Myth Busters (a program that investigates urban legends and other suspicious rumors whispered on the streets of America) When both unidirectional and 2x2 fiber were attached to plywood and an exploding ball was hit, The 2x2 shattered into pieces, the unidirectional fiber exploded, and the ball bounced. When I saw that, it hit me: all the carbon fiber material we use is It was either single or braided..." Drew Baggett. "Nate Yeomans used the BlackDart technology at a pro-am in San Diego. I won the race on a 5'8" V3 Rocket. This board is a stringerless blank with unidirectional carbon fiber. The entire deck is covered in two tint colors. Nate said, "It's the fastest board I've ever ridden." When we first produced and promoted Black Darts, I had no real desire or intention for it to be a competition board, but Nate showed me that wasn't the case." Matt Biolos Lost BlackDart Surfboard! Unlike the boards made by snowboard companies that are hard and stiff, making them difficult for us Japanese to bend and giving no bounce when riding, this is a luxurious board that looks great and feels great to ride! On the 25th, we will have actual Lost Black Dart surfboards available for you to touch and see. We look forward to seeing you in the store, so please come and visit us.
