The SUB-SCORCHER 2 is a speed board with excellent take-off performance that can run through flat sections.
SUB-SCORCHER 2 *A speed board with excellent take-off performance that can run through flat sections. Introducing the latest model in Kolohe Andino's signature "SCORCHER" series. While narrower than previous models, it still features a rounded, pointed nose outline compared to other models. The nose and tail provide buoyancy, making it a high-performance board for small to medium waves, targeting knee-to-head height, and can be ridden about two inches shorter than your regular board. The standard tail shape is a combination of double bump wing and super swallow tail. The bottom rocker curve is gentler than other high performance models, with a dropped rocker design. It has excellent speed maintenance on flat sections of waves, so you can gain speed just by moving the board up and down in small increments. This fascinating model was developed through repeated test rides and feedback from Julian Wilson and Kolohe Andino. While the board design is highly refined and it's a high-performance model, it also boasts excellent takeoff, allowing it to rise before the first turn even in thick waves, making it easy to achieve speed for air and lip action even in small waves. Kolohe Andino has demonstrated in his public riding video that it can ride waves with almost no paddling. Designed for small to medium waves, this high-performance model inherits the legacy of its predecessor, it's perfect for surfers who want to gain speed and achieve crisp, fast movements.

Learn moreThe BEACH BUGGY, which inherits the genes of Andy's favorite WHIPLASH model, is a high-performance board for small to medium rough waves!
We would like to give our blog readers an advance look at "BEACH BUGGY," which will soon be posted on our website. ■ LOST 『BEACH BUGGY by TAJI』 *A high performance board for small to medium rough waves that floats and moves forward even on rough waters! This rough beach break model, developed in collaboration with MAYHEM and TAJI Barrow, was developed and designed for surfing rough, choppy waters without stalling. It's based on the WHIPLASH+TB. The nose and tail of the WHIPLASH+TB are wider, while the outline is thicker and the rocker is lowered. The rails are also slightly more voluminous than the WHIPLASH+TB. While the squash tail may appear wide at first glance, the narrower tail block allows for quicker response to sudden changes in the waves. For competitive use, a gentle bump is positioned near the back stance for increased control, allowing for acceleration when you press the tail. The long, deep single concave ensures the board stays afloat and smoothly propels itself across the water. It's designed to respond quickly and swiftly to even the most aggressive, unsettled style of surfers like TAJI Barrow. The board design inherits the genes of Andy's favorite WHIPLASH model, and is more versatile and versatile than the WHIPLASH-TB model, which evolved as a collaboration between Daji Burrow and Mayhem, allowing for a wider range of bad waves and high-performance surfing. 5'7" x 18 3/8" x 2 1/16" (170 x 46.7 x 5.25 cm) 50~58kg 22.4cl 5'8" x 18 1/2" x 2 1/8" (173 x 47.0 x 5.4 cm) 55-63kg 23.6cl 5'8" x 18 1/2" x 2 3/16" (173 x 47.0 x 5.55 cm) 60~68kg 24.1cl 5'9" x 18 5/8" x 2 3/16" (175 x 47.3 x 5.55 cm) 62~70kg 24.6cl 5'9" x 18 5/8" x 2 1/4" (175 x 47.3 x 5.7 cm) 65-75kg 25.3cl 5'10" x 18 3/4" x 2 1/4" (178 x 47.6 x 5.7 cm) 65-75kg 25.9cl 5'11" x 18 7/8" x 2 5/16" (180 x 47.9 x 5.85 cm) 70~78kg 27.1cl 5'11" x 18 7/8" x 2 3/8" (180 x 47.9 x 6.0 cm) 75~83kg 27.9cl ■Price POLYESTER ￥125,000 (excluding tax) / ￥131,250 (including tax) POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch ￥130,000 (excluding tax) / ￥136,500 (including tax) XTR V-FLEX ￥165,000 (unit) / ￥173,250 (tax included) C3 (CORK-CARBON-COMPOSITE) ￥170,000 (excluding tax) / ￥178,500 (excluding tax) XTR 3D CARBOLIC ￥175,000 (excluding tax) / ￥183,750 (excluding tax) Includes three FCS Green Flex fins Photo by Hayato Masuda.

Luvsurf will soon be coming to Japan for the first time! The first shipment of stockboards will arrive. Ride the new 2013 Lost model "SUB-SCORCHER 2" Kolohe Andino's riding video is now available! This is one of this year's attractive models, developed with Julian taking it for a test ride. This model has a good design, so Mayhem says it takes off easily and stands up before the first turn. It seems that you can easily get the speed to air and lip action even in small waves. It's true that at a surfboard like Kolohe, you can take off and ride even small waves without paddling. This model is designed for small waves, inheriting the characteristics of the previous model. It is suitable for those who want to ride small waves. On the flat section of Kolohe, the board is moved up and down in small increments. Why not try riding it by learning how to pick up speed? Now let's take a look at Kolohe's riding.

Learn more"WARd5" is a fin set that we highly recommend you try with five fins.
AUROLA "WARd5" fins will be released. This is a 5-fin set that is compatible with each of the popular Placebo models. A good-looking color design that matches the Placebo FLEXLITE-TURBO board body. Strong black carbon, beautiful flowing white color design, flexible and lightweight large core, Finished with the new AUROLA mark. A flowing white line printed in the center of the fin, The black carbon matches perfectly with the carbon mounted on the bottom side of the FLEXLITE-TURBO. The stabilizer fin that is attached to the center when riding with five fins has a long base that is 122mm long. This stabilizer fin has one leg, so it can be attached either in front or behind the FCS plug. In front, it's loose, With just the position of this stabilizer fin, you can enjoy two different functions: holding at the rear and driving at the same time. The rear fin for the quad setting is a 50/50 center fin foil. It is smaller than the front fin, It can also be installed in the center fin position as shown in this photo, so you can ride it with three fins. The design and color look natural even when attached to a resin tint color board. This is the beautiful fin design and color that resulted. This is a fin set that we highly recommend you try with 5 fins. When you ride with this setting, you can enjoy the fun, loose rotation that spins around. This setting is surprisingly fun to ride! Give it a try! I stacked two fins, one front and one rear. The rear fins are smaller, with a difference of this size. I lined up three fins. This is a fin combination that makes it easy to imagine driving a quad, let alone a five-fin. This is what it looks like when all five fins are lined up.

Learn moreThe WARd3 is a fin that releases better than the G-5 and holds better than the G-3.
The milky white fin below is the "G-5" The black fin in the middle is the "G-3" The black fin above is the "G-1000" "WARd3" is not shown here, but here is a photo comparing the sizes of the three most well-known types of fins in the world. In this photo, it is difficult to tell because the overlapping fins are almost the same size. The ``WARd3'' front fin is stacked with the ``G-5'' fin. The front fin of the WARd3 is almost exactly the same size as the G-5. This photo shows the WARd3 Center Fin and the G-1000 stacked together for comparison. The same applies below. From another side, you can see that the WARd3 center fin is longer and taller. The center fin of the WARd3 is narrow, so It is easier to release than the tri-fin setting of the "G-5", This fin has better holding power than the G-3 and has performance between the G-5 and G-3. Strong black carbon, beautiful flowing white color design, flexible and lightweight large core, Finished with AUROLA's new blue mark. Surfboards equipped with WARd3 are much lighter than the FCS composite fins or green flex fins that come with the board when you purchase it, making the board move quicker. The carbon fiber fins firmly secure the base of the fin, while the top flexes smoothly, allowing you to accelerate your turns. The price of the WARd3 is 12,600 yen, and it will be available in stores from tomorrow, the 29th (Tuesday).
