A big wave hits Shonan! Check out the Murasaki Sports staff test ride.
A big wave hits Shonan! Check out the Murasaki Sports staff test ride. Murasaki Sports staff members gathered from all over the country are holding a test drive event. The location is in front of the underground passage at Shonan Kugenuma Beach in Kanagawa Prefecture. Yesterday, the weather changed from the previous day's rough weather to clear, overhead waves. Many people got to try out the PLACEBO surfboard. As expected!!! The "DIABLO-X" and "ZEKE" models were the most popular for test drives, The board was always missing from the tent!! Yesterday, we had the opportunity to experience for ourselves the paddle and takeoff performance of ZEKE, which surpasses that of the GOBLIN series. The staff at "Murasaki Sports" Everyone had ridden the "GOBLIN series" before, so we were able to compare them. It really does take off faster than "GOBLIN"! I received a lot of feedback. Nishii has also seen many scenes of people riding the ZEKE and taking off from swells. "ZEKE" has just arrived and stock boards are available here now! It looks like there will be some waves left on the second day, so I'll report back tomorrow!

Learn more"MAYHEM" will be appearing at Sporu Shinagawa's "City Wave Tokyo"! Check it out!
Located in the sports complex "Sporu Shinagawa," City Wave Tokyo I brought along "MAYHEM". There's a reason why I brought so many boards. For the development of the board for "City Wave Tokyo", The purpose is to have MAYHEM experience the waves here and design a board for them. We rented out "City Wave Tokyo" and prepared the first "MAYHEM" so that it could ride about three normal sessions. We had them try out various models and boards with different CL values, and had them ride them in order to develop a dedicated board. After the session, he said that the waves here are more like snowboarding than surfing. MAYHEM, who is good at snowboarding, surfed very well for his first time, I'm getting more and more excited to see what kind of designs MAYHEM will come up with! Please look forward to the announcement of the "City Wave" exclusive model! In mid-July, Shane Beschen and Noah Beschen I'll be coming to a contest being held here at City Wave Tokyo.

The second and final day! Thank you for attending the "MAYHEM" custom order event! At the "The Boardroom Show" held in Heiwajima, Tokyo on the 18th (Sat) Check out the photos from the "MAYHEM" custom order event. The theme was a competition in which three Japanese shapers would copy and shape Kanoa Igarashi's surfboard to see who could do it most accurately. A shaping contest was held (MAYHEM did not participate). The judges were three foreign shapers who had come to Japan to decide the winner. When the three were judging in the shaping room, they burst into the shaping room and attacked the three foreign shapers. He got a laugh by saying, "How can you guys judge if you don't even have a high performance board shape?" Recently, he was in the AM at the WSL/QS1000 and beat the previous JPSA champions, heating up the event. Anon-chan, who has become famous, also came to the event. I ordered the board I will be riding in contests later this season directly from MAYHEM. Tomorrow, MAYHEM will board a plane from Haneda and return to San Clemente. Before that, I'll be heading over to "CITY WAVE" and will report back on it tomorrow! Stay tuned!!!

Luvsurf TV: LOST 『RNF-ULTRA』 Koji Nishii Board used: 5'10" 『RNF-ULTRA』 RESIN TINT COLOR FILM&EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM. The world's first new surfboard genre, "MID Fish," has been a hit with surfboard enthusiasts. This new model "RNF-ULTRA" is recommended for discerning and highly sensitive adult surfers. The development story from last year has been posted on Nishii's "24's Blog", which is updated daily. I think there were a lot of people who were curious about this! LOST " RNF-ULTRA " RESIN TINT COLOR (Japan exclusive model) 5'10” x 20.0 x 2.32 / 30.0cl 6'0″ x 20.25 x 2.38/32.25cl 6'2″ x 20.50 x 2.50/35.50cl The Nishii board is 5'10" and 30cl. The LOST RNF-ULTRA model was developed for adult surfers over 45 who want to ride when they need more length than their usual board.It focuses on paddle speed performance, so once you extend the board's length and start paddling, your speed does not drop, allowing you to take off safely from swells and ride the wave all the way to the inside with ample, large turns. Also, if you normally ride a short FISH type board, you may want a longer board when the waves are bigger. I want a board that I can take with me to replace the semi-gun I ride at reef breaks overseas. The RNF-ULTRA is the one to rely on in such situations. For everyday use, I ride on small waves, crowded holidays, when the tide is rising and the waves are thick and thick, This board is perfect for adults who want to take off easily on an overseas surf trip or tackle the big waves of a typhoon swell. Normally, the longer a FISH board is, the larger its CL value (buoyancy volume) becomes. However, the RNF-ULTRA maintains a CL value (buoyancy volume) that remains almost the same even with its length, making it easy to dolphin surf, and the thinner rails mean that maneuverability is not compromised. The long rails force you to ride on a big line with a lot of drive, Enjoy the adult surfing that is typical of "MID Fish". This is a "MID Fish" board for shortboarders, where the board moves easily when you place your back foot on the tail. During Golden Week in 2019, Chiba Kitaichinomiya Beach was more than three times more crowded than usual. This is a filmed riding movie. The RNF-ULTRA takeoff allows you to ride set waves from the outside without having to deal with crowds, Check out the amazing propulsion performance that effortlessly propels you through slow sections that would be impossible to ride on a regular board! A new genre with lots of great things! Be the first to enjoy the "MID Fish" board! Limited to 50 bottles! LOST Resin Tint campaign price applies, so The regular price is 168,000 yen, The campaign price is 148,000 yen, You can get it for as little as 20,000 yen! Yesterday, the second shipment of " RNF-ULTRA " stockboards arrived at Love Surf. The sizes that sold out in a flash have now arrived in 6'0" and 6'2", and we are preparing to post them on our website! [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/335563453[/vimeo]

Mr. A, LOST " RETRO RIPPER-JP " POLYESTER was chosen. A fellow surfer who recently purchased this model said it was working great, and when he went surfing with us, he saw how his surfing had changed dramatically after changing his board, and he wanted one for himself, so he came to our store. He wanted to ride it right away, so we decided to have him ride the appropriate size 5'8" that had just arrived. Mr. B, LOST " RETRO RIPPER-JP " POLYESTER was chosen. The "RNF-REDUX" model that he is currently using is so good that people around him have seen it and bought it, but he was also looking to ride a longer board, and when he saw a cool retro-design performance board on the market, he was intrigued and came to our store. The board size he will be riding is 5'10". Mr. C said, LOST " SHONAN WARRIOR " RESIN TINT COLOR POLYESTER was chosen. He lives in Chiba Prefecture and surfs in the northern Chiba area, but was looking for a board that would be good for riding in small waves when he saw the SHONAN WARRIOR, which had a concept that met his needs, and was intrigued, so he came to our store. He said that the Mayhem board design explanation video posted on the web was very helpful. After looking at the actual board in the store, he considered two sizes and decided to go with the 5'8" size, with as high a CL value as possible for small waves. Mr. D, LOST " RNF-RETRO " RESIN TINT COLOR POLYESTER was chosen. He had been riding an EL-DIABLO model until now, but it was starting to wear out, so he came to the shop for a repair. While browsing the many attractive new boards lined up in the shop, he decided to take a liking to the RNF-RETRO model and ride it. The RNF-RETRO model's atmosphere suits Mr. D's looks perfectly! Mr. E, He chose the LOST " RETRO RIPPER-JP " EPS center stringer. This is a special board that we made as a custom order. The board is made from a center stringer made from EPS blanks, and two channels and a center carbon have been added to the bottom. We always make special specifications for custom orders, and this time we have once again created a wonderful board. The CL value of LOST boards is constantly increasing, and the customer commented that it is very helpful because they move so easily! Everyone! Come visit us! Lots! Thank you for purchasing our new LOST surfboard!

The DIABLO-X is a Japan-exclusive model that has been under development for over 10 years, specializing in paddle and takeoff performance. The nose is wide, so you can put your weight on that wide part, You can paddle forward, so you can start sliding quickly. When the board starts to slide too quickly, Chucky tries to stand up.

It has good buoyancy, excellent paddling and take-off performance, and thin rails, making it a board with sharp maneuverability!
