The waves have been small recently, so I recommend it! LOST's "GOBLIN" Pro-Formance is in great shape!
This is the board Nishii is currently riding in California, where the waves are small! California has been experiencing extremely small waves since the end of the Hurley Pro. So this is the only thing I ride every day. The waves are so small that I wouldn't surf if it weren't for this LOST "GOBLIN" Pro-Formance . The waves are world class so the LOWER section is always crowded, but there were only about 10 people there. When the waves are small or thick, it's more fun to take off even a few fractions of a second earlier. When I go surfing, I always use the same board, but I can't catch the waves because there is no buoyancy. Are there any of you who feel like you're just spending all your time waiting for waves? Especially in Japan, surfboards need to be used depending on the wave quality and crowding situation. Enjoy surfing by trying out as many different types of boards as possible! Recommended!

Learn moreWho was riding the RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP next to the venue where Harley Pro was being held?
Standing next to the venue where the Harley Pro was being held was a man riding an RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP and standing out from the crowd. He was Nate Illemans, a former World Tour surfer who now handles sales for LOST surfboards in the California area. As a former WT surfer, it's only natural that he is good at surfing, and his explanations of surfboards are very accurate and good, so he is said to be the best salesman for LOST. She stood out as she performed next to the contest venue, which was filled with a large audience. When he rides the RNF-REDUX, the unique initial speed and acceleration speed are amazing. He kept picking up speed and riding waves that seemed impossible to get through on a high-performance board. The RNF-REDUX is a board that is short, easy to paddle, and maneuverable, making it the most fun board for the rider. The ``RNF-REDUX'' CARBON WRAP stockboards are currently sold out in many sizes, but we will have our last shipment of the year around the end of October, so please consider making a reservation!

Learn morePlease see the recommended usage instructions for "FU WAX" new product "SUMMER COOL".
"FU WAX" "SUMMER COOL" has been released in a new package. If you cut the edges of the vinyl package neatly like this, Do not throw it away as it can be used as a storage pack. Please cut it well and use it. This is a recommended method as it prevents sand and other particles from sticking to the surface. FU WAX's SUMMER COOL has been on sale for about a week! It's selling very well! This is perfect for the current water temperature in the Kanto region, so I will explain the recommended application method. We use three types of "FU WAX". First, be sure to thoroughly apply "BASE COAT" to your board after thoroughly removing all wax. "FU WAX"'s "BASE COAT" creates a base that won't melt or slip, so you'll need less TOP coat. Applying "BASE COAT" is economical and provides a higher performance grip. Some people find it troublesome to apply a base coat, but smart people should definitely apply one! "BASE COAT" is a must! "WARM" for mid-length coats Apply lightly to create a look like this. Apply a thin layer of soft "SUMMER COOL" on top. It takes some effort to apply three coats, but the grip is worth the effort. FU WAX's incredible 3D grip, which you won't find with any other wax, allows you to surf that important wave without slipping, allowing you to concentrate on your performance with peace of mind!

"SUMMER COOL" "FU WAX" was researched and developed by FUAD in response to feedback from team riders and FU WAXERS (heavy users) who wanted something with an intermediate hardness, as COOL is soft and WARM is hard, which was a difference in hardness between the two. It can be used mainly in two seasons, spring and autumn, when the water temperature is between COOL and WARM. In addition, WARM is suitable for summer mornings and evenings when the outside air and water temperatures are low and the paint is hard and difficult to apply. It is also effective when there is a difference between the outside air temperature and the water temperature, such as when the wind blows in the summer and the water temperature drops. It is designed for situations where it is soft in COOL and hard in WARM. With the introduction of this "SUMMER COOL" it is now possible to respond to even more precise water temperatures, It provides the strongest 3D grip for professionals!!!

Learn moreMust-see! The new LOST "SUB-DRIVER" model in new POLY specifications has arrived!
Must see! LOST " SUB-DRIVER " model! New POLY specifications now in stock! LOST " SUB-DRIVER " POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch + Fuse Carbon Bottom High performance surfing board for small waves and beach breaks! The nose and tail of the " DRIVER " model have been cut by about 1 inch and the outline has been redrawn to create a wide and low model. ・For those looking for a super high performance board for small waves! ・Spiral VEE increases lift speed ・" BRO Dimension" has buoyancy and is easy to ride for general level. ・For intermediate and above level learners. ・Recommended for knee to head size. 『 SUB-DRIVER 』Model Explanation Since its release, the SUB-DRIVER has been the most successful competition board for WQS competitors. Competitors around the world request the SUB-DRIVER as their quiver (weapon) for the diverse and unpredictable waves of the WQS (World Qualifying Series). The first development was for Kolohe Andino in 2010. In 2011, Kolohe rode the SUB-DRIVER model during the WCT qualifying season, winning all five WQS events on the SUB-DRIVER model. In 2011, Mick Fanning noticed. It's now a famous story that Kolohe took his old, discarded SUB-DRIVER model from LOST and used it to win many heats in the lower pro class. Mick Fanning later said, "It completely changed my perception of what a small wave competition board should be." He used the Sub-Driver model multiple times on the World Tour while winning the World Title in 2013. Since then, not only has the design gained more attention around the world, but more and more surfers have been riding it with teams and other surfers achieving great results in competition. We still make many of these "SUB-DRIVER" models to meet their needs. Originally, this was a "DRIVER" model that had its nose and tail hand-cut by about 1 inch, redrawing the outline and shaping it. As a result, the "SUB-DRIVER" model has a wider outline and less rocker than the "DRIVER" model. The most noticeable features are the slightly wider than average nose, the spiral (circular) VEE at the fin that extends to the tail, and the wide hip tail block. The Sub-Driver's wide nose and tail provide stability when landing in the air. The wide hip at the front of the fin creates a more parallel outline with less curvature for driving. The prominent hip (bump) at the fin provides a pivot point for the surfer when turning tight and powerfully. The wide tail block provides stability even in small waves at slow speeds. The design has evolved to allow for shorter boards than originally intended. The rail rocker transitions from a modest single concave at the front of the board underfoot to a double concave at the rear fin, continuing into a spiraling vee at the tail. The double concave extends to the tail in sufficient volume to provide lift and help maintain speed and flow, even in underpowered waves. Expert surfers describe the board as "pushing back" even in small waves. The SUB-DRIVER model isn't just for pros, it's also the perfect design for the average surfer, with the longer, slightly larger "BRO" dimensions. Even in small waves, the short, rounded outline design provides plenty of drive, making it easy to catch waves and build speed. The SUB-DRIVER model in the Performance Series is designed for small wave beach breaks and comes in two sizes: PRO Dimension for competitions and BRO Dimension for general surfers. In addition to the squash tails available with our stock boards, round and swallow tail designs can also be made to order. The model introduction page has been updated to the latest version, click here! Cool! Ready to ride! The new POLY stockboard that just arrived is " here "!
Learn moreProven in the Presto "GOBLIN" competition! Advances to Round 4 in the NSA All Japan Championship!
The waves were small during the NSA All Japan Championship contest held in Toyohama, Shizuoka Prefecture. It was held at three points: A, B, and C. Only point A was broadcast live, so viewers probably thought the waves were small. The waves at points B and C were even smaller and the quality of the waves was poor. At points B and C, AM rider Hiroki rode PLACEBO's GOBLIN to the top 24 in the senior class for 35-44 year olds, advancing to round 4, just before the quarterfinals. While the other competitors were using flimsy boards and only managed to get 1 or 2 points, like beginners, just by taking off, I took advantage of the GOBLIN's super-fast takeoff performance to rip from the first turn and get a string of high scores. Hiroki was not bothered by small waves, and he was quick to take off, run, and move. Apparently, he stood out so much that other players repeatedly asked to see his board. Surfboards need to be changed depending on the wave quality. "GOBLIN" has proven to be a game that can be used in competitions! You can purchase the powerful "GOBLIN" for small waves here!
Learn moreCongratulations to Ichi Watanabe for winning the NSA All Japan Championship Kids Class!
We did it! LOST Surfboard AM team rider, nicknamed Ichi, Watanabe Ichiko (Ikko Watanabe) Chiba Choshi branch, In the kids' class of the NSA All Japan Championships, which is being held until today, We won. There's a story behind the board he was riding when he won. This board is a gift board chosen by Shou Kobayashi, whom Ichi regards as his older brother. While Sho was in California the other day, he saw Ichi surfing and noticed that Ichi was getting taller and his board was too short for him to get high scores in contests.He found a board that a team rider in California had returned to him and thought it would suit Ichi, so he quickly shipped it to Japan in the hope that it would arrive in time for the main event of the All Japan Championships. Just before the day before we left for Toyohama Beach in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the main event of the All Japan Championships was to be held, After receiving this board, Ichi bought stickers and deck pads for his sponsors. Quickly replace it, I took a test ride on the same day and felt it was a magic board, so I decided to use it in the contest. With that board, he fought through all the heats, We won the NSA All Japan Championship Kids Class! (Next to me is Riki Sato from the Fujisawa branch, who came in 4th place.) Congratulations "Ichi"! "DRIVER" from the LOST performance series has once again achieved excellent results in the competition scene! If you would like to ride this excellent model , "DRIVER," please click here !
