It's finally on sale! LOST's "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is made in Japan with quality! And it's resin color!

Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. LOST's first mid-length model, the "SMOOTH OPERATOR," was developed by MAYHEM himself and is a model that can be used with confidence to charge in anything from slow, breaking knee-high waves to the double-over waves of the special reef break that MAYHEM himself has proven to be. All of the previously available "SMOOTH OPERATOR" products made with "MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY" have sold out! Even after it sold out, we received many requests from everyone, but we were unable to produce the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" because it had to be made with blanks that used a special tapered stringer... Currently, there are a lot of mid-length boards being released by various brands on the surfboard market, but for us shortboarders, they are all just fast take-off boards and are quite sluggish, leaving most surfers dissatisfied! But the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" designed by MAYHEM is different! The SMOOTH OPERATOR was created by utilizing MAYHEM's experience with their most specialized high-performance models, the DRIVER series, which was the driving force behind their No. 1 Shaper's Ranking in 2023.The SMOOTH OPERATOR is not just a mid-length board that allows for quick paddling and takeoff, but also allows for turns and powerful tail kicks using the top to bottom of the wave. The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" models we have just received come in vibrant resin colors, and we've priced them at a very reasonable price! And more! For USA boards, there is an additional charge of ¥5,500 for every 2 inches, but this is also free, so you can save up to ¥72,600! You can't miss this! 6' 2" x 20.00" x 2.56" 34.0cl (188×50.8×6.5cm) Suitable for 50-70kg Light Purple To purchase, click here! 6' 4" x 20.25" x 2.63" 36.55cl (193×51.4×6.68cm) Suitable for 60-80kg Turquoise To purchase, click here! 6' 6" x 20.50" x 2.65" 38.5cl (198×52.1×6.73cm) Suitable for 65-85kg Light Blue To purchase, click here! 6' 8" x 20.75" x 2.70" 40.8cl (203×52.71×6.85cm) Suitable for 70-90kg Gray To purchase, click here! 6'10" x 21.0" x 2.75" 43.25cl (208×53.3×6.99cm) Suitable for 75-95kg Blue To purchase, click here! 7'0" x 21.25" x 2.82" 46.25cl (213×54.0× 7.16cm) Suitable for 80-90kg Light Brown To purchase, click here!

Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. There are surfboards in the "New Sale Boards" section, where you can get popular new boards at sale prices. This is an additional notice. We have added new sale boards to the best-selling model "RAD RIPPER," which is popular not only among casual surfers but also among professional surfers such as "Rasta Rob" and "Arashi Murata"! The RAD RIPPER has a hybrid design with a pointed nose and wide outline, making it a great model for any rider level or wave condition. The RAD RIPPER is not a model designed for riding hollow reef breaks overseas, but rather one that really shines at the beach breaks that many Japanese people consider their home base! The user-friendly RAD RIPPER goes beyond the realm of a shortboard and is considered a "cheat board." It's the perfect model for beginners and intermediate riders looking to improve their skills, but its high performance makes it a hit with professionals and advanced riders, which is one of the reasons it's selling so well all over the world! [ap_show_item 120015] This brand new sale board is a surfboard that only has some repair marks on the bottom, which means it is still perfectly usable, and it's the only one available at this great sale price!
