Schoen Beschen & Noah Beschen appear! I was asked how popular ROCKET is in Japan. Of course, I replied that it will likely become even more popular in the future! He's heading to Japan next weekend for the Chiba 4-star WQS event. Once we were all there, we walked to UPPER to go surfing. This is my first time riding the 3D CARBOLIC SPEEDQUEST board! The board is lighter than the POLY, so it's even more nimble to ride, which was amazing. I also had Shane ride it. Ward appears in Super Session! (Not the San Clemente surfer's heat.) We shot a riding video at the venue after the event. This time it's not me, A local San Clemente local holds a contest every year for Japanese people. We would like to introduce two Lost Team riders, the sons of Masaki Kobayashi. Kei Kobayashi, 10 years old As soon as I switched from my previous board from another brand to this LOST Stealth, He got better and won the 10 and under class at the US Surfing Championships!! On this day, I mingled with the WCT surfers and rode the waves from the peak. Sho Kobayashi, 17 years old He was a member of the prestigious San Clemente High School surfing team, which also includes Kolohe, and his talent was recognized, leading to him joining the LOST team. He also joined the LOST team from a different brand of board, As soon as I switched to the Kolohe Scorcher model, I easily won a race! They surfed at a level that was hard to believe for Japanese people at their age. Stay tuned for the release of the riding movie!

Today's LOWER Trestle. The waves are still small and not rising. Preparations are underway, I'm worried about whether the WCT event starting on Sunday will go ahead with this wave. The waves on the UPPER Trestles side today are also small. When you go to Shape Factory, Chili was there. Apparently he's in shape for his visit to the US. The shape of the parabolic poly is complete. The blanks are now waiting to be transported to the Ghetto House and glassed. Today, LOST airbrush designer Terry Singh showed us his work. Stealth upgraded main design. This is a board for the 2010 catalog. The design has changed since 2009. They lined up together, looked at the order form, and entered the machine-cut data on the PC. Two of the world's leading shapers are currently creating this. If you go to Mayhem and the US Surfboard warehouse, As we have been informing you about, the 40 POLY boards that were urgently produced for us, We are sorry to have kept you all waiting so long. All of the "HYDROFLEX" that will soon be sent to Japan has now been completed. The "HYDROFLEX" is very well made, Mayhem took one out because he wanted one for Gokin. That's how amazing the perfection of "HYDROFLEX" is! This is CJ's used board. This is Ian Aggentel's board. These are the boards Ward will be using at the WCT! Of course, it also includes the hot new Scorcher!
Learn moreI went to the San Diego ASR trade show!
When I went to Trussle in the morning, I found a Lost & Present dealer in Chiba Prefecture. ST, an All Japan surfer from Muraizu Garage, was surfing. I spoke to an older surfer who was changing clothes next to me, He was 64 years old! He was a current shortboarder, a former pilot with a lively lip. ST-san, the model is indeed a competitor F-1, The material is XTR 3D CARBOLIC and the fins are FLEXFIVE! The waves were like this, chest high sets coming in nonstop. It's fun surfing. There were people with LOST boards that I had never seen before, so I took a photo. Apparently he asked Mayhem to give him a special shape. Nishii is in top form with SPEEDQUEST. Speed Quest is crazy awesome. It's short and thick, so you might not be able to get on it easily right away. It's a totally different feeling from any board I've ridden before, so it's really fun to ride. It's a different feeling and a fresh one since I first encountered RNF 14 years ago. It's light and easy to move around, allowing you to make sharp turns in the narrow spaces of the waves. It's easy to ride, easy to accelerate, and, as the name suggests, it picks up speed - very, very fast. After that, we went to the San Diego ASR trade show! The ASR trade show is a great place to learn about the current state of the US surf market. It's an exhibition that you can't miss. Brands that are not doing well and don't get customers even when they set up a booth, We have decided not to exhibit, Due to the recession in the US, the number of booths was the lowest ever, and the number of visitors was also the lowest ever. The LOST booth looked like this. Also on display were two models currently under development for 2010. One is that this model is tentatively named "Motivator." It combines a rounded nose with a rocket tail. It had little rocker and was like a combination of RNF and ROCKET. The other model is this one (right), tentatively named "Brandt." It combines a wide pointed nose with a wide round tail. It's a wide board with a round outline that allows for aggressive movement. XTR 3D CARBOLIC also attracted attention from sales companies that came from all over the world. It's also very popular with foreigners! This is the "3D CARBOLIC" logo, which we have been considering adopting since 2010. C stands for carbon and K stands for Kevlar. Led by Mayhem, now the number one brand in the United States, LOST will have a lively booth!
