Breaking news! Sold out! DIABLO-X POLYESTER stockboard now in stock!
The first spring arrival sold out in a flash. LOST's DIABLO-X POLY board is now in stock! For veteran surfers, it's a smooth and familiar ride. This is a popular standard POLYESTER stockboard with a smooth flex! The center stringer uses ARCTIC foam and has a simple clear finish. MAYEHM has adapted the rocker curve of that DRIVER for Japan! There's no way I'm feeling bad!!! It also includes the " DIABLO-X " model mark, which was not included on the first boards in stock! Released in 2018! The latest installment in the DIABLO series! The design, focused on paddle and takeoff performance, inherited from LOST's original Japan-only model, the CONQUEST, has evolved and been passed down. The focus on paddle performance makes paddling faster and easier. The Japan-only model also features a "dolphin grab rail," which makes it easier to grip the buoyant rails of the board when dolphining, a feature now essential for this board. The DIABLO-X has a solid center thickness, but the rails are thin, making it the thinnest rail shape in the series to date. The rails are designed to be so thin you might wonder if the board's CL value is really that great, so the rails come in and provide increased control even on hard, rough waves with bad winds. Of course, sharper rail control is possible in flat, undulating waves. The greatest performance feature of this model is its maneuverability. The rails are much easier to tilt than previous models, allowing for sharp turns even on the flat faces that are common in Japanese waves. The thin rails make it easy to glide through the waves on a high line, so you can now enjoy exhilarating rides through damper sections that you couldn't get through before. We are pleased to announce that DIABLO-X has the best mobility in the series. The maneuverability of the DIABLO-X is of course excellent in good waves, but it really shines in Japan's beach breaks, where the wave breaks can suddenly change. The tail design is a super swallow tail, so even if the tail floats at high speeds, it's easy to control by holding the tail down with your back foot. It also features the series' traditional "elevator wing" for quick response. The elevator wing has been updated with a sharp edge, and just by looking at the actual shape design created by MAYHEM, you can imagine the agility it will provide when riding it. The rocker design is based on the curve of LOST's top PRO-FORMANCE model, "DRIVER," and the curve has been softened to suit the wave conditions in Japan and take into account the physical strength and level of Japanese surfers around the age of 40. FCS2 5 fins are standard. This is a hybrid fin position that allows you to enjoy both QUAD and TRI. This model was created by MAYHEM of LOST, a world-class cutting-edge surfboard designer who has sent five surfers to the WSL Men's Championship, and Nishii of Love Surf, who have spent a lot of time researching, developing, and test riding it, specializing in paddle and take-off performance. Now in stock, all sizes available! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/category/item/itemgenre/lost_board/diablo-x/ Click here! ▪Explanatory video by LOST's "DIABLO-X" designer "MAYHEM" [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/256981036[/vimeo]

Learn moreEveryone! Are you using the 3 types of "FU WAX" correctly, layering them together?
Dear FU WAXERS! Are you using FU WAX correctly? Applying three types of " FU WAX " in layers will give you the ultimate 3D grip! Recommended for the current midsummer season: 1. First, apply a thick coat of "BASE". By applying "BASE" thoroughly, which is less likely to melt or move, not only will the 3D grip performance improve, but you will also be more economical by minimizing the amount of wax you apply on top. 2. After applying "BASE", Apply "TOROPICAL" as a middle coat. We recommend applying the same amount as for "BASE". 3. Apply the top coat "WARM". We recommend applying "WARM" on top in a thickness that is about half that of "Middle Coat". It's a bit of a hassle, but by layering the three types, the 3D grip performance is more than worth the effort. With other manufacturers, your feet may suddenly slip while riding, With FU WAX , this won't happen, so you'll never have to use other manufacturers again! Most of the pro surfers who make a living from surfing are now using FU Waxer. The production volume is so low that even professionals still can't get their hands on it. As you probably know, It is 100% handmade in Brazil using a secret recipe known only to "FU". In Japan, many stores are currently sold out. A secret trick is to use "Kei Kobayashi" here: Apply to the tops of both feet before entering the sea. When paddling, you can apply it to the soles of both your feet to further enhance your 3D grip! From now on, don't forget to do this before you go into the ocean and become a real FU WAXER with a difference!
Learn moreArrived in stores! LOST's latest model! "Puddle Jumper HP" Puddle Jumper HP
This is the latest LOST surfboard that Nishii recently got! "Puddle Jumper HP" This is the Puddle Jumper HP. HP stands for high performance. This is a high performance version of the Puddle Jumper! The board size is "5'4 19.75 2.35 27.50cl" Fin setting is MR TWIN + STUB or I tried MB QUAD , There is a long VEE bottom about 1/3 from the tail. The board moves really well from side to side, so you don't need to use the fins to move the board lightly. The MB QUAD was in better condition! It's fast, agile, fast, loose and precise to surf. If you want to have fun in small waves at high speed and with ease, the PJHP will take you to the next level. Nishii's impression after riding it was, "It moves too much! It's fast!" They run and move very fast, so we recommend using larger fins at first until you get used to the movements! The stock board sizes are as follows: 5'0 19.25 2.32 24.50 5'2 19.50 2.32 25.75 5'3 19.63 2.35 26.75 5'4 19.75 2.35 27.50 5'5 19.88 2.38 28.50 5'6 20.00 2.45 29.50 5'7 20.25 2.50 31.00 5'8 20.50 2.50 32.00 5'9 20.75 2.53 33.50 5'10 21.00 2.56 35.00 This PJHP model has just arrived at Love Surf stores and is already lined up on the surfboard racks in the store! If you can come, be sure to check it out early!
Learn moreAsymmetrical fin setting recommended for wide tail models such as LOST's RNF-RETRO!
Nishii suggests an asymmetrical fin setting recommended for wide tail models! Recently, I've come across manufacturers that are producing boards with asymmetrical outlines and fin counts, known as "asymmetrical." However, because they are asymmetrical, they are essentially boards for regular or goofy stances. However, if you have a 5-fin or 4-fin board, This is how you can experience the performance of "Asymmetrical". Asymmetrical design involves making the outline on the heel side thinner or shorter than on the toe side, or reducing the number of fins, which allows for tighter backside bottom turns and tighter frontside top turns. So if you have a 5-fin or 4-fin board, If you do it like in this photo, it will become an "asymmetrical" board. Nishii did this in "RNF-RETRO", As you can see in these photos, the bottom turn is extended. The surfing is smooth and spins at the top, producing speed and spray. It felt great and I was hooked on this fin setting! Everyone, please give it a try! It's a really interesting movement! We especially recommend this to users of the currently popular " RNF-RETRO "! This "asymmetrical" fin setting that Nishii came up with has the following features: MAYHEM was also impressed and posted a rave review on his Instagram! Nishii has posted some riding videos on Instagram, so please take a look! ＠koji_luvsurf_nishii https://www.instagram.com/koji_luvsurf_nishii/?hl=ja The fins that Nishii set on the ` `RNF-RETRO '' are the following two types! The heel side fins are as follows. Black twin fin 『FCS ll』PG MODERN KEEL / TWIN SET The toe fins are shown below, and there are two of the same design but in different colors.
