The "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model is a gentle model that can be ridden even by those who have moved beyond the beginner level!
Today Nishii rode the LOST "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" POLYESTER! The waves have gotten smaller, and while until last week the water temperature was high enough to surf in just board shorts, like in Indonesia, it has now returned to normal water temperature for a full suit. Today, there was a weak wind swell after an onshore wind, so I went out on the LOST ``P UDDLE JUMPER '' POLYESTER! It's been a while since I last rode it, and the takeoff performance is great. The PUDDLE JUMPER-JP is the only model other than the Diablo that offers paddle and takeoff performance that is comparable to the Diablo series, such as DOS-DIABLO, SUPER DIABLO, and CONQUEST EL-DIABLO. Since the FU WAX had been thoroughly removed, I applied a new base coat firmly. I used TROPICAL as a middle coat and WARM as the top coat. Because it is a POLY board, there are many unavoidable dents on the deck. For dents, slightly raise the corners of the FU WAX to make it fit in. It's perfect when applied to the base, middle and top. Please avoid scrubbing or applying it in a messy manner. When applying wax, be sure to carefully check for dents and important areas. This is highly recommended for storing FU WAX. It can store three pieces, so you can store a base, middle, and top piece. Even after removing the wrap, do not throw away the label, but press it onto each wax and store it. Please try it so you don't lose track of the types. The tail of the Japan-exclusive model " PUDDLE JUMPER-JP " is a rocket tail. It is quite different from the US model with its super wide squash tail ridden by Westerners with an average foot size of 12 inches, and has a rocket tail design with no corners and a reduced surface area to make it easier to control for Japanese riders with an average foot size of 8 to 9 inches. The " PUDDLE JUMPER-JP " model is the best-selling model in the US, fine-tuned and designed for Japanese people to make it even easier to ride.It is wide and has a large water contact area, allowing for stable paddling and riding, so it is a gentle model that can be ridden even by those who have moved beyond the beginner level and mastered paddling and takeoff, and is highly recommended!

Learn moreOur top recommendation for PLACEBO surfboards is the "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model!
Today I took the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model out for a surfing session. The reason I chose this model is that the US Open has ended in California and there are still QS competitors from all over the world remaining, and the Lowers are filled with strong competitors, so it's not easy to catch a wave. This was to beat the paddle speed of the world's QS surfers in their teens and twenties. It was a crowded course, and the world's top surfers had superior paddle strength and wave-catching techniques, but when I was riding the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model, I was able to get on the waves a beat faster than them and ride the waves I wanted. Until now, we have been recommending that those who have the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model as their main board combine it with the GOBLIN, as it allows them to ride better as a second board when the waves are weak or small. Recently, the number of users who only use the very popular "GOBLIN" board has increased dramatically, We also recommend adding the "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model! If you're considering a PLACEBO surfboard and aren't sure which PLACEBO model to start with, then the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO is the obvious choice. It's easy to ride and offers the most versatile wave quality. It's also the best-selling PLACEBO surfboard, developed and designed by world-renowned surfer MAYAHEM, who prioritized paddle and takeoff performance from the LOST CONNQUEST model. This model is a Mayhem masterpiece! The "Dolphin Grab Rail" that comes with the board has excellent grip and allows you to sink the board deep. Once you experience the "Dolphin Grab Rail", you'll find that boards without it are not enough. If you're looking for just one PLACEBO, start with the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model! or If you're looking for the ultimate pre-release combination, we recommend "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" + "GOBLIN" !

Learn moreAs expected! The "LAYZ POTATO" model is a masterpiece sold exclusively in Japan!
As I mentioned yesterday, Nishii analyzed himself after watching the DVD that is given as a gift to customers who spend over 3,000 yen at Love Surf. I thought that both LOST and PLACEBO were doing the best surfing overall while riding the LAYZ POTATO model. Since I hadn't ridden it recently, I took out the "LAYZ POTATO" model and tried it out, and sure enough, it ran! It moved! It was easy to ride on both small and big waves. You can make small turns, drive turns, The paddle, which is what everyone is most concerned about, is also fast! The "LAYZ POTATO" model matches the design better when ridden on a placebo, I'd love for everyone to try it out, so I'm letting you know! The reason why riding on a PLACEBO is a good idea is that the unique deep flexibility of the PLACEBO's FLEXLITE material makes it easier for the board's flex effect to spring back and bounce. It's easier to gain speed than with other board materials. This is the feeling that people who ride other PLACEBO models have! Even when you float, you can still gain speed and ride the top of the curl, connecting waves. This model has excellent speed performance! The "LAYZ POTATO" model, sold exclusively in Japan, is a masterpiece on par with the RNF! This is a model that I would really like everyone to try out! Please check out the DVD as well!

...It's clear that the lost "CARBON WRAP" works better with larger waves. If you ride the waves at your leisure, like a test course for Trestles surfboards, The difference in board material is quite apparent. The growth rate of each turn is amazing. It fits the waves so you don't need to make tight turns.

The tail section, wrapped around the carbon band, bends the entire board, then gives it extra flex, giving you that extra boost in the latter half of the turn! ...lost's "CARBON WRAP" is a revolutionary EPS epoxy carbon board that has been patented and has a great extension effect on turns. It's only been half a year since it was released in California, USA. ...lost's CARBON WRAP is not only "unbeatable in quality," but also, the most important thing about a surfboard, "feels good to ride," so it's rumored to be the winner of the 2016 BEST SURFBOARD OF THE YEAR award.

Learn moreFrom California! An undercover report on the Lost Surfboard Factory!
Nishii has been in California for a few days. Mayhem was away on a business trip to Florida, but we managed to sneak into the LOST Surfboard Factory and report back here. A board with an American flag design on the board rack in front of the airbrush room. This is a custom order board. This is the "BEAN BAG" model. I bet if "BEAN BAG" was airbrushed like this it would make you want to ride it hard! There was also an airbrushed and Spitz painted board with an adult feel like this. The outline of the round pin is beautiful. This is the MAGIC V3-ROCKET that Nate Illemans actually rode. Nate is known to be a V3-ROCKET fan. He currently works at LOST Surfboards, where he is in charge of sales to surf shops in Southern California. LOST Surfboards is an amazing company to have a former WCT surfer in such a position. Here we find an order from Schoen Beschen's eldest son, Noah Beschen. The model is the "V2-GRINDER," which is highly sought after by LOST riders. The V2-GRINDER was the one ridden by Reika Noro, who won the Chiba QS the other day. The V2-GRINDER was also the model used by Kei Kobayashi, who won the previous JPSA competition in Bali. It's a popular model, and even Love Surf has received pre-orders before it even arrived, so we can't keep it in stock, and we've received many custom orders. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a competition board. Inside the factory, I saw rows and rows of MARKO's stringerless EPS foam, more than I'd ever seen before. Anyone with a keen sense of intuition could already guess what kind of board this stringerless EPS foam would make. That's right, it's "CARBON WRAP." These boards are, of course, custom-ordered, but when I asked the factory manager, Andrew, he told me that customers are ordering boards with the same dimensions (sizes) as their favorite models that they've ridden in the past. Indeed, people have recently been calling it the "World's Best Epoxy Board" on the web and social media, and it has been featured prominently in media around the world, spreading word of mouth, so you'll definitely want to order the "CARBON WRAP" in the best model and with the best dimensions. Speaking of which, when Nishii first came to Mayhem to ask him what he wanted for his first test board for CARBON WRAP, he asked for the 5'8" SUB-BUGGY-JP . Since then, the 5'8" SUB-BUGGY-JP is my fourth CARBON WRAP . If you can't find your perfect board in the stock boards, we encourage you to consider a CARBON WRAP custom order ! Now, on the fourth day of CA, Nishii hasn't been surfing because the waves have been small every day. He can do it if he pushes himself in knee-high waves, but the forecast says the waves will come out soon, so he's working before then. It's like this at LOWERS, where you can manage even if you can't surf. At LOWERS, the pro-am junior contest for those under 20 years old will start next Tuesday. Apparently, 250 representative players selected from around the world are gathering, so the competition is sure to be amazing. Kei, who lives at LOWERS, is also participating as a representative of the USA, so we're looking forward to it. Young Japanese pro-am players are also attending. We'll be reporting on the competition in the future, so stay tuned! The waves are forecast to get better and better, so we're looking forward to it!
