Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many brand new LOST surfboards!

Mr. A, He chose the LOST "RNF'96" Resin Color & On Fin special board. He is a heavy Love Surf user, regardless of whether it's LOST or PLACEBO. He custom-ordered a LOST RNF'96 and is waiting for it to be completed, but this newly arrived LOST RNF'96 features Mark Stabaron's on-fins, Atsushi Yuri's resin color, and a wide dimension that we've never had in stock before, making it a special board in every way, so he made an immediate decision. Mr. A owns many surfboards, but when he saw the RNF'96 in person, he was so impressed by its high quality that he exclaimed with glee, "It's a shame not to ride it!" Mr. B, We selected LOST's "PARTY CRASHER" Resin Color Made in California, USA. This model was purchased so that it could be enjoyed in thick waves when the tide was rising and the waves were slack. He also owns the rare MAYHEM mid-length model "SMOOTH OPERATER." This is another mid-length model from MAYHEM that is popular and has limited stock. He also wanted to ride the "PARTY CRASHER." Mr. C LOST "RAD RIPPER" Polyester Made in California USA was chosen. After a long break, he recently returned to surfing with his old surfboard, but was frustrated that he couldn't catch any waves, so he came to Love Surf to find a surfboard that would help him regain his old sense of rhythm. After looking at Love Surf's website, he was interested in the LOST "SUB DRIVER 2.0," which was his first choice, but we recommended the LOST "RAD RIPPER," which has more buoyancy and is more user-friendly, and he decided on it. His eyes lit up as he said he would like to try the "DRIVER 2.0" once he regained his old sense of rhythm! Mr. D He chose LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0" LIGHT SPEED Made in California USA. I'm Yuji, a staff member at Love Surf. The "DRIVER 2.0" I custom ordered last year is running really well, so this time I ordered a custom 5'8.5" size board in the cutting-edge EPS material "LIGHT SPEED" specification, which I heard goes well with the "SUB DRIVER 2.0." I've already ridden it, and it accelerates strongly with a soft, light movement and has incredibly high rotation performance. As I heard, it has the best performance in small and medium waves. Mr. E, We chose LOST's "POCKET ROCKET" Polyester Made in California, USA. He is a heavy Love Surf user who purchases dozens of boards a year, switching between different sizes and models to suit the waves. The POCKET ROCKET works best in larger waves, and can be used safely in deep, fast-breaking sections, so I custom-ordered my fourth POCKET ROCKET, a slightly longer 5'10.5". My impression was that it allowed for stable takeoffs even in deep, deep waves without getting lifted to the top. Everyone! Come visit us! Lots! Thank you for purchasing our new "LOST Surfboard"!

Mr. A, You have chosen LOST "DRIVER 2.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/37140/ In northern Chiba, I spotted a LOST rider riding a DRIVER 2.0 with ease. I wanted to try out the DRIVER 2.0 myself, so I approached him and he introduced me to Luvsurf and came straight to our shop from the beach. He chose the 5'9 DRIVER 2.0. He said he thought he'd be able to surf well with this board. Mr. B, You have chosen LOST "RNF'96" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/66971/ He has been using the SUB DRIVER 2.0 with great success, but now he wants the extremely popular and hard-to-find "RNF-96", so he received information on @LINE that a limited number of colored "5'5 RNF-96" had just arrived, and he purchased it. Mr. C said, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER 2.0" Kiriflex Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/55395 / He had been looking for a SUB DRIVER 2.0 and was considering purchasing one, but when he found out that Love Surf had just stocked a limited-edition Kirifkex model with a special Paulownia wood stringer, he came to visit us. The moment he picked it up, he said "This is definitely the one!" and immediately decided to buy the 5'7" SUB DRIVER 2.0 Kirifkex. Mr. D, You have chosen LOST's "RAD RIIPPER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/39979/ He had been away on a business trip overseas for about 10 years and was unable to surf, and when he returned he was surprised to see that board designs had changed dramatically. He immediately purchased the cutting-edge "5'9 RAD RIIPPER." He said he wanted to try it out and see how it differed from the old designs. Mr. E, You have chosen LOST "DRIVER 2.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/37140/ He had ordered a slightly longer 6'1 DRIVER 2.0 online for when he went up a size, but as swells were expected to arrive at his home beach in northern Chiba, he rushed to the store to pick it up so he could ride it as soon as possible. Even after touching the board in person, he was convinced that the outline, concave, and rail drop all meant that it would be a board that he would definitely enjoy riding on the day he went up a size.

Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many brand new LOST surfboards!

Mr. A, He chose LOST DRIVER 2.0 LIGHT SPEED PROFORMANCE EPOXY. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/37140/ He came to our store looking to add the DRIVER 2.0 for good waves to his current lineup. While carefully looking through the POLYESTER DRIVER 2.0 bikes in stock, he discovered that there was only one LIGHTSPEED bike made of high-performance EPS material left, and said, "If I miss this, who knows when I'll be able to get one again!", so he immediately decided to buy the 5'11 DRIVER 2.0 LIGHTSPEED. Mr. B, We chose LOST's "RAD RIPPER" POLY AIRBRUSH COLOR Polyester Made In California. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/39979/ He came to our store because he was interested in the highly acclaimed all-around model "RAD RIPPER." While we were out of stock and most of the models were pre-ordered, he found a special edition model with airbrushed colors that had just arrived from the USA, and was captivated by the texture, so he purchased a 5'8" RAD RIPPER. Mr. C said, He chose LOST's "ROCKET REDUX" CARBON WRAP. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/39906/ I was using a STEALTH XTR that I inherited, but it was starting to show signs of wear, so I decided to replace it. I'm not very good at PU boards, so I was looking for an EPOXY board similar to the STEALTH. As a woman and light weight, I wanted to maintain the speed of takeoff, but I was worried about choosing a size that would make dolphin-throughs difficult and not make control too heavy. I was able to balance my board preferences with the 5'7" size, which has slightly less bamboo buoyancy than my current board. Mr. D, He chose LOST's "ROCKET REDUX" CARBON WRAP. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/39906/ He had just purchased a SUB DRIVER 2.0 the other day, but came to our store wanting a board that would perform better in smaller waves. He has been riding LOST boards for a long time and knew that the original ROCKET was in good condition, so he purchased a board in the store that was a good size, 5'7". Mr. E, He chose LOST's "SUB DRIVER 2.0" Polyester Made In California. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/55395/ This person lives near the sea in Nishi-Showa. He owns a variety of surfboards, but after watching pro surfer Arashi Murata's YouTube videos, he decided on the SUB DRIVER 2.0, which looked very easy to ride even at his home spot! He was torn between MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY and MADE IN USA, but decided on the one made in California, where LOSTSurfboards is based. Everyone! Come visit us! Lots!

Mr. A, You have chosen LOST's "RAD RIPPER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/39979/ The customer reserved and purchased the all-around and friendly RAD RIPPER in a slightly larger 6'0" size. Apparently the spots he frequently visits in Ibaraki get crowded in the summer, but he said that with this RAD RIPPER he'll be able to overcome the crowds and still catch some waves. Mr. B, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0" KIRI-FLEX Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/55395/ The customer came to our store hoping to find a different size in stock since the CA TWIN he had purchased last time was in good condition. They were out of stock, but I saw this KIRI-FLEX "SUB DRIVER2.0" model in the store, which looked like it would work well. After seeing it, he thought, "This looks amazing!" and purchased the 5'9" PRO size. Mr. C said, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/55395/ The first board he purchased was the "RNF-RETRO," which became his magic board, and he has since purchased a string of popular boards, including the "RAD RIPPER," "CA TWIN," and "RNF'96." He's also a huge Mayhem board fan, and this time he purchased the 5'8" PRO size, hoping to ride the Driver series favored by top pros. Mr. D, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/55395/ He is currently using the LOST "DRIVER2.0" and is feeling good about it, so he purchased the "SUB DRIVER2.0" to use in small waves and conditions where the waves are less likely to break. When he came to the store, he was looking for the LOST "SUB DRIVER2.0" LIGHT SPEED, but luckily we had a stock board with the perfect size, a MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY "SUB DRIVER2.0," so he hesitated, but made the decision. Apparently, he hadn't ridden a surfboard in over 10 years, but thanks to his training, the "DRIVER2.0" was working really well, so it was very impressive to see him excited and eager to ride the "SUB DRIVER2.0" as well! No matter how many times you ride it, it's always nice to have a new surfboard! Mr. E, You have chosen LOST "RNF'96" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/66971/ This customer placed a USA custom order with BLACK DART immediately after the RNF96 model was released, but couldn't wait for it to be completed and purchased a stock board. Because he frequently checks the website, he knew that stock boards have been restocked several times and quickly sold out, so he came to our store hoping that the appropriate size, 5'5", was still in stock, and was able to get his hands on one at the perfect time.

Mr. A, You have chosen LOST "RNF'96" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. Recently, the customer has been riding point nose boards, but he has been interested in the RNF model for some time. Apparently he wanted to try it out. When he heard about the release of the RNF-96, he immediately reserved a 5'6" bike. Mr. B, LOST "SWORD FISH" Polyester Made in Japan Quality was chosen. I was using a performance board and was looking for a board that was a little wider and thicker. He came to the store without any particular model in mind, and the candidates he chose were the RNF-96 and SWORD FISH. He was unsure which one to choose, but he decided to purchase the 5'8" SWORD FISH as it felt good in the hand. Mr. C said, You have chosen LOST "RNF'96" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He is a big fan of the RNF model and has ridden almost all of the RNF models released by LOST, from the original RNF. When he heard about the release of the RNF96, he had given up on purchasing it because it was out of stock, but he made a reservation and purchased the latest version, 5'4". Mr. D, You have chosen LOST "RNF'96" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. The customer came to our store looking for a new board because the one they were currently using was starting to wear out. I was looking for a board that was easy to ride because my weight had changed. I had previously ridden Shoki's RNF, so He purchased the 5'8" RNF96 model because he knows how much fun it is. Mr. D, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. After KEI KOBAYASHI won the JPSA, he became interested in LOST and wanted to ride them. The buoyancy of the board I'm using is low, so I've increased the volume a little to return it to a standard buoyancy so I can surf more easily. I selected the size 5'7 BRO dimension. Everyone!

Mr. A, We chose LOST's "RNF-ULTRA" Polyester Resin Tint Color. The board he is currently using is wide, has a rounded nose, and is highly buoyant, but he doesn't feel that it takes off very quickly and is picky about the wave quality, so he was looking for a board that was long but not very wide. He found out about the RNF-ULTRA model on Love Surf's website and watched some riding videos before coming to the store to pick it up and was pleased that it was close to what he was looking for in terms of size and other features. Mr. B, LOST "SUB DRIVER 2.0" Polyester Performance series was selected. He owns many LOST surfboards, but recently has been using boards with more buoyancy such as RNF, and has gotten rid of four performance boards such as DRIVER. Recently, he borrowed a friend's DRIVER 2.0 model at the beach and decided he wanted a shortboard with a narrower nose, so he came to buy a new 5'9" Pro dim. Mr. C said, LOST "RAD RIPPER" Polyester Resin Tint Color has been selected. He was gradually reducing the buoyancy of his boards, but felt that they were too short, so he was looking for a board that would be easy to ride all around, even if he added length without changing the volume too much. His requirements were that it be fast and easy to move around, and the perfect model was the RAD RIPPER TINT board in gray, which suited his taste, and we also had the 5'8 size in stock, so he purchased it. Mr. D, He chose the LOST "RNF'96" Concept Airbrush 2nd Edition. He was currently riding a surfboard from another brand, but after several years of use he was concerned about the yellowing of his board, so he was looking for a new one. A friend recommended the RNF'96, and he came to Love Surf. We lined up two sizes of surfboards for him to consider, and after we explained to him that the RNF'96 is a model with good response and excellent maneuverability, so he would have no problem enjoying it even if he went up a size, he made the decision. He seemed very happy to have a new surfboard after such a long time! Mr. E, He chose the LOST "RNF'96" Polyester Half Opaque First Edition. We received a call from a customer who wanted to get their hands on this extremely popular and hard-to-find board right away, and we immediately decided to sell it. He drove all the way from Osaka where he was working away from home to come and pick it up at Love Surf. He is a LOST surfboard enthusiast who rides almost every one. Everyone! Come visit us! Lots!

Mr. A, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER 2.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He had been riding a high-performance board from another brand, but was interested in the "SUB DRIVER 2.0," which offers high-quality action even in small waves, so he came to our shop to ask for advice. He was a little hesitant about increasing the volume, but we explained to him that LOST offers high maneuverability and light movement even with the volume, and he decided to ride the 5'8" "SUB DRIVER 2.0." Mr. B, You have chosen LOST's "RAD RIPPER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He had been interested in the RAD RIPPER for a while, due to its excellent all-around performance, but had given up on it due to its popularity and constant backorders. He came to the store, hoping for the best, and came across the 5'6" RAD RIPPER, which had just arrived and was not yet listed on the website, and immediately purchased it. Mr. C said, You have chosen LOST's "RAD RIPPER" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He is currently riding the "DRIVER 2.0" and is feeling great, so he has reserved and purchased the "5'10 RAD RIPPER," which has a little more volume and is more versatile. He said he is really looking forward to riding it, seeing the unique shape of the wide yet thin tail end, which gives it a sense of volume and high maneuverability. Mr. D, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0" KIRI-FLEX Polyester Made in Japan Quality. This customer has been going to the beach more often with her son, so she asked for advice on what kind of modern board would be best suited to her weight and ease of riding, rather than her old board. Since she is tall, we recommended the SUB DRIVER 2.0, which has a good balance of length, width, and buoyancy. Her previous board was narrow and thin, so we chose a 6'0" size to improve takeoff performance and ease of movement. Mr. E, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. This customer had been practicing on a used 6'6" board for a year and wanted a LOST board to step up to. He wanted to try out his first new board, so he was very happy to get the LOST board in the reliable, large length and volume of the BRO size. Love Surf has about 300 boards lined up in the store! Among the stock boards, there are many boards in the most popular sizes of popular models that have just arrived and are not yet listed on the website, so please come and check them out! We also have stock boards that are only available to customers who visit the store, so you might find the board you're looking for!!

Thank you everyone for coming to our store and purchasing so many brand new PLACEBO surfboards!

Mr. A, You chose PLACEBO's "ORCA" Soft top & Hard bottom. They came to our store to check out the ORCA, which is a convenient board that can be used in small waves. The couple was very pleased with the firm feel and cute appearance that other soft boards don't have. Mr. B, You chose PLACEBO's "ORCA" Soft top & Hard bottom. He was looking for a board to ride in small waves and came to our store to look at the easy-to-use "ORCA." He was also interested in other small wave boards, but decided on the 6'2" ORCA, which is safe for children to use. Mr. C said, You chose PLACEBO's "ORCA" Soft top & Hard bottom. He usually rides longboards, but a friend recommended an interesting board to him and he made a reservation. It feels short, but the center is thick and the rails are not too thick considering the 50L volume, so I think it looks like fun. Mr. D, You chose PLACEBO's "RNF-ULTRA" DURA-FLEX. He started out with a shorter board, but a senior advised him that if he wanted to improve faster, a longer board with more buoyancy would be better, so he was introduced to Luvsurf and came to our shop. We asked him about his current progress, and recommended the 6'6" RNF-ULTRA, which doesn't require excessive buoyancy, and has thin rails and a moderate width that allows for smooth turning. Everyone! Come visit us! Lots! Thank you for purchasing our new PLACEBO surfboard!
