The Japan-exclusive model "SUP DRIVER" featuring LOST's original EPS technology "LIGHT SPEED," which stands out for its sensitive response and explosive speed, will be released!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The release date for the JAPAN LIMITED MODEL "SUP DRIVER" made from LOST's original EPS material "LIGHT SPEED" has been decided! This board responds sensitively to the rider's intentions and is particularly well-equipped for beach breaks, where many Japanese people mainly surf! The Japan-exclusive LOST "SUP DRIVER" is a powerful ally for surfers who want to enjoy high-performance surfing even in small conditions, and the "LIGHT SPEED" is made from 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 on both the deck and bottom. It is well known to those who follow this blog that Kei Kobayashi, who won the second round of the S League (which changed its name this year) and the QS3000 in succession, and is currently in great form and advancing in the third round of the S League (currently being held in Kamogawa on November 22nd), also loves the EPS technology "LIGHT SPEED"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFG4e4o2d2k Those who saw the footage I shot at Kamogawa River when I stayed in Japan for a few hours on a transfer before the recent QS5000 in Taiwan will know that EPS is generally said to be weak in offshore surfing, but in the fiercely strong winds, LOST's original EPS technology "LIGHT SPEED" didn't care and produced amazing surfing! The LOST "SUP DRIVER" with LOST's original EPS technology "LIGHT SPEED" is a Japan-only model, so Love Surf is the only place you can find the LOST "SUP DRIVER" not only in LOST's home base of California, but also in surf shops all over the world! What's more, this latest shipment is an extremely rare surfboard, with only 10 in stock, totalling all sizes! 5'4”×19.13”×2.39” 26.5cl (163×48.6×6.07cm) Intermediate 50-54 kg Advanced 54-58 kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Sunday, November 24th . 5'6”×19.63”×2.44” 28.5cl (168×49.9×6.20cm) Intermediate 58-62kg Advanced 62-66kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Sunday, November 24th . 5'7”×19.88”×2.50” 30.00cl (170×50.5×6.35cm) Intermediate 62-66kg Advanced 66-70kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Sunday, November 24th . 5'8”×20.13”×2.53” 31.0cl (173×51.1×6.42cm) Intermediate 66-70kg Advanced 70-74kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Sunday, November 24th . 5'9”×20.25”×2.56” 32.0cl (175×51.4×6.50cm) Intermediate 70-74kg Advanced 74-78kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Sunday, November 24th . 5'10”×20.50”×2.66” 34.0cl (178×52.1×6.75cm) Intermediate 74-78kg Advanced 78-82kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Sunday, November 24th . excluding tax ¥160,000 including tax ¥176,000 [ap_show_item 87713] [ap_show_item 87721] The recommended fins for the LOST "SUB DRIVER 2.0" DOUBLE DART are: I definitely recommend the KOLOHE ANDINO signature fins!

Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. A high-performance model that is easy to handle not only for competitors but also for casual surfers! LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0" DOUBLE DART starts today at 8:00 PM! This is the fourth time we have received the LOST "SUB DRIVER2.0" DOUBLE DART. All previous shipments have sold out in an instant, proving how popular this item is! The LOST "SUB DRIVER2.0" DOUBLE DART has actually been used in CS and QS competitions and has achieved good results. That alone tells you how good the surfboard is! Unlike the stiff two-way carbon weave used by other brands, the DOUBLE DART is made from a hybrid of carbon fiber and S-glass, creating a premium EPS material that provides riders with unprecedented responsiveness and high rebound. It uses ultra-lightweight stringerless 1.5 high density EPS blanks with a carbon shell vacuum glass on both sides. Using a special technique exclusive to {BLACK DART}, which is a registered trademark, it flexes smoothly, and the carbon and S-glass give it a high rebound like nothing you've ever experienced before, a special feeling that only surfers can experience. Because the production of DOUBLE DART surfboards requires advanced technology, effort, and time, it is difficult to produce enough stock boards to fulfill the wishes of everyone around the world. As a result, we regret to say that we have only 14 LOST "SUB DRIVER2.0" DOUBLE DART boards in stock at this time, which is extremely limited. 5'6”×18.50”×2.32” 25.00cl (168×47.0×5.89cm) Intermediate 51-55kg , Advanced 55-59kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Thursday, November 21st . 5'7”×18.63”×2.35” 26.0cl ( 170 × 47.3× 5.96cm ) Intermediate 55-59kg Advanced 59-63kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Thursday, November 21st . 5'8”×19.00”×2.38” 27.0cl (173×48.3×6.05cm) Intermediate 59-63kg Advanced 63-67kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Thursday, November 21st . 5'9”×19.25”×2.40” 28.00cl (175×48.9×6.10cm) Intermediate 63 ~ 67kg Advanced 67 ~ 71kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Thursday, November 21st . 5'10”×19.50”×2.44” 29.25cl (178×49.5×6.17cm) Intermediate 67-71kg Advanced 71-75kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Thursday, November 21st . 5'11”×19.75”×2.47” 30.50cl (180×50.2×6.25cm) Intermediate 71-73kg Advanced 73-75kg To purchase, click here! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Thursday, November 21st . excluding tax ¥260,000 including tax ¥286,000 [ap_show_item 87713] [ap_show_item 87721] The recommended fins for the LOST "SUB DRIVER 2.0" DOUBLE DART are: I definitely recommend the KOLOHE ANDINO signature fins!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCMxY7zyPVg/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Cole Hashemand, who was just a rookie last year but won the Rip Curl Pro BELLS BEACH and reached 15th place in the tour rankings, has uploaded a short movie of his PARTY PLATTER DOUBLE DART! The PARTY PLATTER is currently one of Love Surf's best-selling models, and we're receiving a flood of inquiries. Cole Hashemand, who is currently relaxing in the off-season, has chosen the PARTY PLATTER DOUBLE DART for free surfing at California's beach breaks. Unlike other brands' full carbon boards, the DOUBLE DART "PARTY PLATTER" uses LOST's unique carbon and S-glass hybrid "Black Dart" fabric, making it the lightest board and boasting incredibly high rebound thanks to its double-sided carbon, making it the most powerful board ever. The highly buoyant "PARTY PLATTER" and the ultra-lightweight "DOUBLE DART" are a perfect match, and it's clear to see them running over the waves at incredible speed and creating effortless action! We have a small quantity of the previously sold-out 5'4" "PARTY PLATTER" DOUBLE DART in stock! Even in small conditions that would normally make you go home without even going in the water, you can easily catch more waves, and even in waves with almost no shoulder and only able to go straight sideways, the surfboard will move around nimbly! The PARTY PLATTER model, a favorite of competitor Cole Hashemand and staff member Ryuji, is highly recommended for full gear for the upcoming winter season and for small conditions!

All of the newly arrived PLACEBO Surfboard models are now available for purchase from the Love Surf web store! PLACEBO Surfboards, a sister brand of LOST Surfboards, is a special surfboard that can only be purchased in Japan, designed by MAYEHM, who has won the WSL Shaper's Ranking for two consecutive years, for Japanese waves and Japanese surfers. Polyester surfboards are known for their unparalleled strength and durability, the fact that they will stay in great condition for a long time without discoloring or fading in the sun, and their high resale value. However, the reason they are so popular with so many surfers is because of the excellent ride feel (flex) of the MAYHEM-designed models and the one-of-a-kind PLACEBO materials FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE6 and DURA-FLEX, which only those who have ridden one will understand!

Learn moreCan you ride an EPS board in a strong wind? On November 7th, Kei Kobayashi will be appearing at Kamogawa Marquis in Chiba Minami!!
On November 7th, Kei Kobayashi will be appearing at Kamogawa Marquis in Chiba Minami!! Recently, Nishii filmed Kei Kobayashi at Kamogawa Marquis in southern Chiba Prefecture, where he came to practice surfing for his JPSA/S League Grand Champion title. Despite incredibly strong winds that threatened to blow away cameras and tripods, Kei Kobayashi surfed on an EPS board, which is known to be weak in strong winds. The boat he was using was a Lost Lightspeed, but it seemed as if the wind was really that strong. Kei Kobayashi didn't seem to be affected by the wind at all, taking off super quickly and cutting through the waves at high speeds. He turned heads in the water, creating a spray on the rip. After about two hours of surfing, he immediately drove to Narita Airport and headed to the WSL QS5000 event in Taiwan. Nishii filmed the entire experience, so please take a look. https://youtu.be/IFG4e4o2d2k
