Check out our new board material, 100% waterproof "HYDRO FLEX/EFC" boards.
Today I went to LOST, where LOST surfboards are stored. We have picked out two personal boards and would like to introduce them to you. 5'2”『SHORT ROUND』HYDRO FLEX/EFC 5'7” “CONQUEST EL-DIABLO” HYDRO FLEX/EFC This "HYDRO FLEX/EFC" is equipped with an extremely thin center stringer. The interior is made of a new material called closed shell foam, making it 100% waterproof. Until now, HYDRO FLEX only had EPS and regular PU foam that absorbed water. HYDRO FLEX is a waterproof foam that is soft and flexible, and I want a board that actually feels good to ride. If you're following this blog, you probably already know this, This is a HYDRO FLEX board that has been developed in collaboration with HYDRO FLEX for the past three years and is sold exclusively in Japan. It is extremely light and much lighter than the boards used by WCT surfers. And yet, it is so hard to make dents that it can be said that they do not form any. Furthermore, the board has been finished with an unprecedented feature that prevents peeling with a 99% accuracy. Of course, the fact that it rides well is guaranteed by Nishii, Masato and SHAW, who were in charge of the test rides. Even when looking at a SHAW test board power surfing, there is no dent in the stance, it is so strong. At the same time, it flexes smoothly, so the ride feels just as Japanese people would like it. Nishii didn't even have a dent in the board he rode today, and Masato is currently riding a lot in typhoons in Japan. Yellow/SUB-BUGGY doesn't have a single dent. What kind of board is this? We do not accept stock board requests so that those who place custom orders can get on board quickly. We only reserve production slots for custom orders so that the board can be completed in about three months after the order is placed. The price of the clear board is the same as each model "XTR-FX". Please consider custom ordering your favorite model in the best size. Posted by Luvsurf .

Learn moreWe have received feedback from users who purchased the LOST "LAYZ-POTATO" model!
We have received feedback from users who have purchased "LAYZ-POTATO," so we would like to share it with you. During the busy weekend peak hours, I heard someone mutter, "I can't get on if that person is there." When he said that, I felt like I was Nishii-san. We have received feedback from LAYZ-POTATO users saying, Get yourself a copy of LAYZ-POTATO and ride the wave of the crowded weekend sets. And just now, another customer who had just purchased ``LAYZ-POTATO'' called us excitedly from the car on their way back from the beach. "LAYZ-POTATO" is awesome! It's only my second time, but I'm starting to understand how amazing this board is! I was able to go wherever I wanted, and Long and I were the only ones riding on the outside. There were some pros there, but everyone else was only riding on the inside. If you paddle with your body weight more forward than usual, you will paddle faster even when not taking off! Everyone asked me what I was riding and it was hard to explain. The PROs were fascinated by the tail wing and bottom vee. Today, I rode the LAYZ-POTATO from morning until evening. In the sections where the waves are about to close or where you might get left behind, I was able to break away at a speed I had never experienced before and ride all the way to the inside. Nishii-san, there's a scene in J-BAY or Trestle where a dolphin looks like it's riding the waves comfortably without doing anything, and I felt like I was that dolphin. That's why I decided to call my LAYZ-POTATO "Iruka-chan." So I'm glad that you liked the board so much that you even gave it your own nickname. If you were to get your hands on a Layz-Potato, what would you call it? It would also be nice to match the resin color with a "kappa" look like Nishii's board. A beautiful resin color design board from LOST's "LAYZ-POTATO" model has arrived! Mayhem designed this for the Japanese wave, prioritizing driving rather than maneuverability. This Lay's Potato model is a limited edition model sold in Japan. You can surf even the biggest waves with just this one board. It can handle waves up to head size, so it's sufficient for normal use. That's right. The resin layer of a resin-colored board is thicker than that of the same clear board. It has a strong and durable finish. It also features the latest FCSII fin system! Here is a list of the boards! There are also clear versions! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/category/item/itemgenre/lost_board/layz-potato-polyester/ We've got some board sizes that were sold out back in stock, so don't miss out!! * Posted by Luvsurf .

Learn more"FU WAX" is running low on stock of "TROPICAL" as the season begins!
FU WAX Which brand of surf wax do you use? of course, *The best grip performance, *The least likely to stick to your wetsuit. *The most economical option as it can be used the most times It's "FU WAX"! DANE is one of the surfers who praises FU highly. This is the product after applying a base wax from another company. In this way, it becomes tall and prickly like an insect, When you apply the base coat of "FU WAX", it becomes flat and fine like this. There is no need to apply any more coats. Generally, in the case of shortboards with deck grips, About 1/3 to 1/4 of the amount is appropriate. This means that BASE can be used 4.3 times. Each season's FU WAX top coat can be used 10 to 15 times. If there are any gaps that have not been painted, paint them with the corners slightly raised like this. (The photo below shows Mr. Okajima from Channel Islands Surfboards, who loves the performance of FU WAX and uses it.) If you haven't used "FU WAX" yet, or if you're running low on it, http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/11847/ Please purchase it from here.

Learn moreWe will explain in detail about the popular "Placebo Surfboard."
Mayhem from LOST surfboards and Nishii from Luvsurf are continuing to test and develop the board for Japanese users. The Placebo Surfboards FLEXLITE-TURBO , which has a 9-year history, is the best surfboard. I will explain in detail. This is the Interstyle exhibition where new Placebo models are announced every February. This is Nishii giving a lecture on how to attach and remove the "FCSII" fins, which became standard equipment on the 2014 model. This is a rack dedicated to "Placebo surfboards" located inside the Love Surf store. Each model is neatly arranged in size order. The 2014 model is approved by FCS and has the "FCS II" mark on it. It's easy to spot from the deck. Recently, most board manufacturers do not sell fins as accessories, The Placebo Surfboard comes with 3 to 5 free fins depending on the model. This is the explanation of the board at the exhibition so that you can see the powerful flex of the board. This is Nishii jumping around on a board. If you do this, a poly board will easily get footprints on it and it will break or crack. However, the surface of the Placebo Surfboard is strong, so the board can be pushed in and pop up. Because it flexes, anyone can easily turn like a good surfer. Most other moldboards are hard and inflexible, so they don't spring back as much. This is the inside of the Placebo Surfboard. Starting from the outside of the deck 1. Clear UV-cut paint 2. White UV-cut paint 3. Epoxy resin and glass cloth 4. PVC sheet (red) 5. Epoxy resin and glass cloth 6. Original EPS core foam As you can see, it uses more material than a poly board and has a complex structure that takes a lot of effort to complete. Three PVC sheets (red, white, green) are used to adjust the springy, flexible flex. We use three luxurious types of parts - deck, rail and bottom - and adjust them to suit the concept and set size of each model. Only on the bottom surface, a stripe of turbo carbon is installed, approximately 7cm wide, running straight from the nose to the center of the bottom. This stripe of turbo carbon not only improves the board's propulsion, but also increases the board's flex like a spring, It adds speed with every turn, helping you reach top speed on the wave. In 2006, Mayhem and Corey Lopez decided to seriously build a moldboard that they could ride well on! So, we launched the brand, advanced research and development, and produced a number of test boards that other brands could not match. It has evolved through repeated test rides with many of our team riders over the years to reach the present day. If you haven't tried the Placebo Surfboard yet, be sure to give it a try. When I go to the beach to surf, I see a lot of people using the Placebo surfboard. I'm sure you've seen him surfing with great energy. Everyone is doing well, so not only are they continuing to ride their "Placebo surfboards" They don't break as easily as plastic boards, so they can be used for a long time. It can be used for a long time, so you can enjoy surfing without having to change boards. He owns several different models of Placebo surfboards and enjoys surfing according to the waves. The Placebo Surfboard FLEXLITE-TURBO is a Japan-only model and cannot be purchased in other countries, so the price does not drop. The reason I bought it is because it is a popular, high-performance, and high-strength board, and the resale value is higher than other boards. It has been very well received. What is "Placebo Surfboard" ? * Carefully polished to a mirror-like shine, creating a luxurious feel *The surface is strong and does not easily dent, so there are almost no footprints *The ride is smooth and easy to ride, as it blends in with the waves. * Powerful springback flex turbo performance creates professional-level speed *It will stay white and durable without tanning, so you can keep riding it for a long time. *High resale value The Placebo Surfboard is a surfboard that meets the necessary demands of surfers. If you haven't tried it yet, please experience its amazing performance and strength. We're sure you'll love the Placebo Surfboard ! The Placebo Surfboard FLEXLITE-TURBO has a history of nine years. It's the ultimate surfboard that has evolved for Japanese users.
