The long-awaited "SUB DRIVER 2.0 THUMB" LIGHT SPEED, perfect for beach breaks, is back in stock!
The beach break weapon "SUB DRIVER2.0 THUMB" LIGHT SPEED, which is relied upon by LOST team riders in CS and QS, is now back in stock in response to popular demand! In recent years, the high-performance model scene has seen a rise in popularity of round tails, and the popular squash tail has become a trend. The Thumb Tail's SUB DRIVER 2.0 is an excellent model that has already achieved results in many competitions. The LIGHT SPEED uses LOST's original EPS technology, which uses AERO BLANKS' high-density, high-quality EPS foam with X-glass applied only to the deck surface, and carbon built in using a special technique to make it flat to the center line of the deck and bottom! The LIGHT SPEED was completed after over a year of testing with the world's best young surfers, including the world's No. 1 shaper MAYHEM and Crosby Colapinto, who will be competing on the CT from 2024.It boasts excellent flex and speed performance that provides high rebound, as well as control that responds sensitively to the rider's intentions. Another reason for its popularity is that it is highly durable and has a beautiful pale blue color that shines in the sunlight!

The SUB DRIVER 2.0 is very easy to handle and works great in most conditions in Japan, so we highly recommend it for intermediate surfers looking to improve their level! If you miss this chance, there is no guarantee when it will be available again, so don't miss out! Of course, we will be participating in the "New Year's Gachapon Event," so please have fun spinning!

Learn moreOnly the 5'6" size remains! The PLACEBO "RNF-RETRO'18" offers performance you wouldn't expect from the Retrofish outline, and is almost sold out!
The RNF-RETRO'18, made with the original eco-friendly EPS technology DURA-FLEX3, which can only be manufactured at the PLACEBO factory, is already in limited supply. The DURA-FLEX3 is made from custom-shaped AEROBLANK EPS foam, with three layers of 4+4+6oz on the deck surface and two layers of 4+6oz cloth on the bottom, hand-glazed with epoxy resin.The PLACEBO brand's signature surface strength and the UV-cut white paint applied to the entire surface provide semi-permanent protection from sunburn, which is one of the reasons why it is so popular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPPuGeTrwJs&list=TLGGIbmBbac_hIIwNjAxMjAyNA Based on the classic "Round Nose Fish," the "RNF-RETRO" is a San Diego fish board design with a flat rocker, wide width, and a deep split fishtail that makes it easier to catch waves and glide with a sense of flow. The PLACEBO RNF-RETRO'18 was created as a copy of the LOST RNF-RETRO, the magic board used by Pro Nishii. Despite its wide and chunky appearance, it is typical of MAYHEM and is capable of high-speed action that will satisfy even shortboarders! The bottom shape has a single concave in the center, a flat front, and a spiral VEE at the back of the fin, making it easy to tilt the surfboard quickly and accurately, making it easy to handle regardless of level, and allowing you to keep going without sacrificing speed! [ap_show_item 108652] All models of PLACEBO's "RNF-RETRO'18" have sold out except for the 5'6". The RNF-RETRO'18 PLACEBO boasts a wonderfully smooth glide and the performance you expect from MAYHEM, so why not enjoy a fulfilling surfing experience even in the winter season, when small conditions are more prevalent?

Learn moreDid you catch any good waves over the New Year's holiday? Starting today, Friday, January 5th, Love Surf will be opening for business in 2024, and at the same time, the "New Year's Garapon Event" will begin!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Did you all have a great time over the New Year holidays? I took the RNF'96 WIDE Dimension model, which I chose considering the crowds over the New Year holidays, and had a great time! Not only was it great for the wave conditions, but it also allowed me to catch waves regardless of where the waves were, so in the end I only used this one board! It is also highly recommended for people who live in apartments or for those who want to increase buoyancy but cannot increase the length due to the size of their car!

Learn moreOnly one left! LOST "SMOOTH OPERATOR" MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY! Resin color available now!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The LOST "SMOOTH OPERATOR" and PLACEBO "SMOOTH OPERATOR" that arrived in stock the other day have both been snapped up at an incredible rate, leaving us with only one 6'2" size left. The SMOOTH OPERATOR is LOST's first mid-length model, developed by MAYHEM for himself.It is a performance mid-length model that can safely charge in anything from knee-deep waves to the double-over waves of special reef breaks, like the ones MAYHEM himself has taken countless photo shoots of. Next year will mark the fifth anniversary of the "SMOOTH OPERATOR," which is becoming more and more popular, improving in quality, and supported by an ever-increasing number of surfers. Since the last shipment sold out, we have received many requests from our customers asking, "When will it be restocked?" However, since the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" must be made using blanks with a special tapered stringer, we have been forced to stop production. This is a rare model that has become a phantom model. The reason why the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is so popular is that it is designed by "MAYHEM," which is ranked No. 1 in the WSL Shaper's Rankings and has a reputation for its performance, even among mid-length boards. Unlike the mid-length surfboards currently being released on the surfboard market by various brands, which from our perspective as shortboarders are all just clumsy and have a fast take-off, this board has amazing performance considering its size! [ap_show_item 120721] Orders placed by 2:00 PM today, December 28th, can be shipped! Have you checked out everything else you need for surfing over the New Year holidays? Love Surf's physical store will be open until 8:00 PM on December 28th, so please don't forget to make your purchase.
