Today at LOWERS we have a SHAW and LOST XTR-FX board session.
Today's LOWERS. The wave size has dropped a little, The waves were in better condition than yesterday. Nishii is 5'7" and is using the STEALTH II XTR-FX. Shaw Kobayashi is a 5'8" Sub-Driver-JP with an XTR-FX Photographer Masuda took photos of the two of them riding. Cyber Wetsuit's poster girl, Maria Ward, appeared wearing a hat that looked like she'd just returned from Bali. The waves were good and there were lots of LOST MAYHEM boards around. The guy in the red T-shirt is Nathan F. This is what it looks like on the right side. Looking to the left it looked like this.

This is my first size up in LOWERS in three weeks. The waves were small for the few days Nishii was there, about waist-high and chest-high, but they have gotten bigger since this morning. Today Nishii is playing his recent favorite, the 5'7" STELTH II model XTR-FX. The LOST STELTH II model will be released in mid-September. PLACEBO's V3-ROCKET model is a board with even faster takeoff. The wide point is at the front, so the paddle is positioned quite far forward on the board. This board is designed to be easy to paddle and to speed up take-off. The tail area is the same as the V3-ROCKET, a thin double wing rocket tail. The design makes it easy to control the tail. This is Kei Kobayashi. He started playing after returning from Nicaragua and has improved again. He's still only 14 years old, so I'm really looking forward to seeing him improve in the future. Please support him. This is 19-year-old Kolohe Andino. The air flew so high that cheers erupted on the beach. Jordy Smith was also surfing at LOWERS today. I worked with MASUDA photographer to take photos of the ``XTR-FX'' board, which is currently in preparation for release. This is the XTR-FX, a SUB-SCORCHER II model. The SUB-SCORCHER II model looks beautiful from this angle. The XTR-FX has the strongest bounce and speed of any XTR board to date. This is a new material board that is a must-have for XTR board fans as well as those who have never ridden an XTR before.

Luvsurf TV: LOST MAYHEM 『SUB-DRIVER』Tyler Wright Rider: Tyler Wright Board used: LOST MAYHEM "SUB-DRIVER" FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a collection of riding footage taken at the 2013 US Open held in Huntington Beach, California. This board is commonly known as the "Yellow Subdriver." The board was shaped by Mayhem more than two years ago and has yellowed from the sun. Apparently it's been called that on the WCT Tour. ⇩You also rode it when you won the WCT in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2013. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=19175 The SUB-DRIVER is designed for competitors to ride on beach breaks where the wind is sensitive and the wave breaks change. While inheriting its performance, Mayhem has updated the design to better suit the wave conditions in Japan. It is designed to make it easier for Japanese users to practice riding lips and other surfaces. The "SUB-DRIVER-JP" is one of Love Surf's recommended models! Of the DRIVER series, the JP model is more suited to the wave conditions in Japan, so I definitely recommend it. Now, take a look at Owen Wright's sister, Taylor, surfing on the original model.

Luvsurf TV: Placebo 『V3-ROCKET』 FLEXLITE-TURBO Cory Lopez Rider: Cory Lopez Board used: Placebo 5'7" V3-ROCKET FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM It flexes and springs back more flexibly than a poly board. This surf clip shows Cory riding, taking full advantage of the properties of the FLEXLITE-TURBO material. The V3-ROCKET model was designed as a Japan-only model by improving the V2-ROCKET model. This board is designed to combine the agility of a performance model with the paddling performance of a fish board. It is easy to perform flashy action techniques such as lip and air moves. It also has excellent take-off performance, making it a luxurious model. In this riding video, Cory is riding a 5'7" board with TRI fins. In conditions where the waves are not very steep, it is best to use QUAD fins, so please give it a try. Now, let's take a look at Cory riding the V3ROCKET.

The super popular model! LOST "COUCH POTATO" POLY board is now in stock! We have received a large quantity this time, but we have received many pre-orders, so We only have a small amount to offer! If you want to conquer the small waves in the summer, Love Surf's recommended couch model is the only option! It's just arrived, so now's your chance! First come, first served! Please consider it soon! ▼LOST "COUCH POTATO" POLYESTER is available here! ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/category/item/itemgenre/lost_board/couch-potato-polyester/ Nishii has also been experiencing small waves, so he's been surfing five times in a row as a couch potato. With a take-off speed that rivals that of young pros riding sharp competition boards, Even during the Obon holidays, the sea is crowded, but I still enjoy surfing comfortably. With such small waves, it's impossible to catch them unless you have a board that's suited to the waves. If you feel like you're struggling to surf on a competition board, we recommend the Couch, so we recommend it as your small wave board. Add it to your quiver. It's great for knee-high waves, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to ride head-high waves too.
