Learn moreNishii takes a photo! LOST's "SMOOTH OPERAITOR" resin colored "Matte 'MAYHEM' Biolos"
The summer-specific southerly swells came in and the size increased. On a rare day in California in the summer when you can surf in your trunks, I went to MAYHEM and LOWERS. The one that MAYHEM himself brought and rode is the one he owns the most. This is my favorite "SMOOTH OPERAITOR" model, which was researched, developed and designed for me to ride. The red lens color makes it easy to see even from a distance, making it easy to photograph. It was a busy day because the waves, weather and water temperature were good, Because it was a "SMOOTH OPERAITOR," he was able to catch a lot of great waves and it looked like he was having fun! The board size is 6'10" and 51.40CL. This is an example of how people over 50 can surf by choosing a board that takes advantage of adult-like buoyancy. I've obviously gained weight compared to before, but I'm still floating and sinking while waiting for the waves, unable to catch them. Please use this as a reference when choosing a board for adults so that you don't end up as a pathetic old man who pretends to be thin!

Learn moreA quick photo of the first wave! Mayhem riding the 7'2" LOST "SMOOTH OPERATOR" model!
Sunday in California Taking my daughter Ryder with me, The first turn of Mayhem, who appeared in the father-son surfing Nishii took some amazing photos, so please take a look. It's a light and nimble maneuver that you wouldn't expect from a 7'2" board. It has rails and can withstand loads similar to a performance board. The spray is also flying high! The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" model incorporates the essence of a performance board. It's a board that moves even though it's long, and is completely different from the mid-length boards made by longboard manufacturers. This is a board that can also be used for ripping, just like LOST. This board was made by a skilled laminator known as "LONG TOE." It's a glass laminated board. I think there was a similar glass design board displayed at the LOST booth at the exhibition held in the USA, as mentioned in Nishii's blog. This resin color board with a unique design is glass laminated by "LONG TOE" In 2022, only 15 bottles will be available in Japan, so please look forward to them!
