Must-read! What is LOST's "PRO-Performance Series" by MAYHEM???
For nearly 30 years, we've been designing and building surfboards based on feedback and direction from our team and fellow riders. From the early days of LOST, when we designed for the local, slick surfers in San Clemente, to the current wave of World Champions, we've worked with some of the best surfers in the world. Competitive high performance surfing is the most important surf scene we are always paying attention to. With the arrival and popularity of modern models, such as the "RNF model" and "TRI-FISH model" of the 1990s, one of our models was the high-performance surfing model "Pro-Formance Shortboard." Over the course of their nearly 30-year history, LOST has led the way in surfboard design around the world, setting and changing trends, and even releasing hybrid designs with FISH. We focus on designs that are more enjoyable for the average surfer, as well as high performance designs for professional surfers who surf every day. And we are not losing out to other top competing brands. That history includes working with top pros like Chris Ward, Corey and Shay Lopez, Andy and Bruce Irons, Shane Beschen, Taj Burrow, Julian Wilson, Kolohe Andino, Carissa Moore, and Taylor Wright, among many others. We are committed to providing the best possible equipment to the best surfers. Surfboard designs come and go in fads, but the best surfing in the world continues to be modern high-performance surfing and pointed-nose thrusters. He has been making surfboards for about 30 years. We are re-releasing the Pro-Formance series from Lost Surfboards. Lost "PRO-Performance Series" The three models in the PRO-Performance Series, "DRIVER," "SUB-DRIVER," and "POCKET ROCKET," which are ridden by LOST Surfboard's top team, have been completely rebuilt with updates to their form and size. The three models were created with careful consideration of "what is currently on the feet of top team athletes," and are based on the "magic" board data of the top surfers who ride them. These boards are built and released using the same proven performance materials that they use on their competition boards. The lightweight, strong and flexible blanks, developed in collaboration with ARCTIC, are combined with a new three-ply, black-dyed basswood stringer for a very flexible feel, and are exclusive to the PRO Performance Series. The foam is glassed using 4 oz "S" glass, making it a lighter and stronger glass specification while still being made of POLYESTER. With the release of the "PRO-Performance Series," we also developed a new carbon tail patch design with a new liner fade (a linear fade out). The design was based on a study of where the heel and toes of a surfer in a back stance are positioned when foot pressure is applied, and was designed to precisely increase strength. The width of the carbon fiber stretched front to back has been minimized to promote flexibility. The logo marks for each model have been simplified by removing the illustrations that were previously used and replacing them with a font reminiscent of Formula 1 racing. Additionally, for the "PRO-Performance Series," we have created a new logo, slightly smaller than the LOST Planet mark that evokes high-end, high-performance inspiration. The three models, "DRIVER", "SUB-DRIVER" and "POCKET ROCKET", Two sizes are available: the "PRO Dimension" for professionals, and the "BRO Dimension" for general surfers, which provides buoyancy so that anyone can ride it. The PRO Dimension is based on the 5'10" to 6'0" width size ridden by Kolohe Andino and Griffin Colapinto. Both are over 6'6" tall and weigh over 170 lbs, so they're well-muscled, not skinny. The shorter sizes are scaled down proportionally, so smaller surfers like Taj Burrow and Josh Kerr will fit in the 5'8" and 5'9" sizes. The "BRO Dimension" is a larger, more general-purpose board. It offers plenty of volume and balances all aspects of the design, making it more than just a bloated board. The rails are designed to blend in a thin rail design, hiding the bulk of the wider board while still allowing for the movement required for performance surfing. The "BRO Dimension" is designed to be ridden by surfers of all builds, making it an easy choice. In addition to the top three high-performance models of LOST surfboards, "DRIVER", "SUB-DRIVER" and "POCKET ROCKET", Based on the "Performance" aesthetic, all of the high-performance models released by Lost Surfboards over the past decade are also available to custom order. The retuned V2-SB, V2-HP, Whiplash, Beach Buggy, Formula-1, F1-Stub, Scorcher, Sub Scorcher, Sub Scorcher-2, and even the classic SD-2 are all available to custom order, all with new shape design files. With the new model logo, Custom orders are available based on 12 new logo placement patterns. ■LOST 『SUB-DRIVER』 Pro-Formance Series Stock Boards →Click here! ■LOST "DRIVER" Pro-Formance Series stock boards are available →here!

Kinger has always liked the PLACEBO " SHORT ROUND " model and has ridden it a lot, but recently he has also become fond of the PLACEBO 5'8" " EL-DIABLO PLUS " FLEXLITE-HYPER, which he says works well. These photos were sent to us by our in-house photographer, Tony. Recently, a Costa Rican sandal brand began sponsoring him. Kinger is very happy to hear that a signature model will be released in the future. Apparently the sandals leaning against the board are those.

A photo of Kolohe Andino taken during practice before the US Open. He didn't do well in the US Open, but I hope he does well in the WSL that has just started in Fiji! The board he's riding is the " DRIVER "! This is also a board prepared by Nate Illemans for the US Open. This line is designed to repel sharks. Both are 6'0" DRIVER . Frenchman "Manda le Car" The new POLY board model with carbon on the bottom is the F1. If you have a slimmer body type, you will prefer a slimmer board outline. Therefore, we recommend a wider width for overweight men. This is LOST Surfboards' first team rider, Strider Wazulski. As a WSL commentator, he is now an indispensable face on the World Tour. The board he is carrying is a newly completed 6'6" Pocket Rocket round tail, which he plans to take to the WSL in Fiji. Carissa Moore has had a good record on the World Tour, but hasn't won recently, so I hope she'll win soon. She's recently mastered aerials, so I'm looking forward to seeing her show them off in competitions. She dyed her hair pink, which is her favorite color. Her board is DRIVER . This is Gabriela Brayan from Kauai, Hawaii. She is still a junior girl and is small in stature, but her powerful surfing makes her a player to watch. You came to Japan for the first time last October for the QS3000 tournament held in Kamogawa. The board is `` POCKET ROCKET ''! A photo of young Brazilian surfer Yago Dora with six new boards.

Learn moreWhat board did Nishii ride the most during his four-week stay in California?
In the summer, San Clemente often gets swells from the south. This is the time of year when you can expect bigger waves than in winter. The waves were small during my four-week stay due to hurricanes. It was only for a few days. On the final day of the US Open, Huntington Beach was flat with some set waves that were barely rideable, but at San Clemente's Trestles, chest-high waves were coming in consistently. The board that Nishii rode the most during his stay in California was This board is the LOST "V3-STEALTH" CARBON WRAP R-4C. I took a few photos so I'll post them here. I tried replacing the fins, http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/48513/ The two front fins on these fins felt great and worked well. Two back fins This is the same prototype. Nishii recommends LOST's "V3-STEALTH" You can get this tri-fin! The LOST Summer Fair will be held until the 13th. Take advantage of this opportunity to purchase a LOST surfboard at a great price!
