Nishii's much-loved Magic Board, which sold out immediately last time, is back in stock!
This time we are pleased to announce that we have received a new board, the same surfboard that Nishii is currently riding the most. The last shipment was sold out in no time! The latest addition to LOST's classic round nose fish model series, the RNF'96, is LOST's most popular carbon technology board! Built by Black Sheep, it's made in the USA. The lightweight EPS foam deck is covered in black Triax carbon, and the bottom is airbrushed in the same purple as Nishii's. This magic board has a soft, supple ride that covers the bumps in the waves like a suspension, allowing you to make comfortable, fast turns and enjoy fast surfing. Nishii talks about the arrival of the "RNF'96" Black Sheep Build Board on YouTube, so please take a look. It will be released soon, so don't forget to register on LINE! https://youtu.be/zG_YGbi-DgI

Learn moreThe LOST team did it again at the 7th WSL Championship Tour event, the Surf City El Salvador Pro!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. It's been a while, but the LOST team did it again at the 7th WSL Championship Tour event, the Surf City El Salvador Pro! There is not much time left in the 2024 Championship Tour, but once again, three out of four competitors in the final are LOST: Yago Dora in the men's competition, and Caroline Marks and Gabriella Bryan in the women's competition! Blessed with perfect conditions on the final day, Yago Dora came in second in the men's category. In the women's category, Gabriella Bryan came in second. The winner was Caroline Marks with a back-to-back win! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8P_oouyOHO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== In the semi-final, Yago Dora overwhelmed Gabriel Medina with his excellent 3D air perfection and success rate, which was like watching a free surfing video. In the final, he made a tail-high air reversal and scored 9.77, but was not blessed with good waves and finished in second place! In the women's final, which was once again between two LOST teams, Caroline Marks used her signature powerful backhand to force a combination, but Gabriella Bryan, who has been improving rapidly, was not to be outdone and added points at the end, but it was just short, and Caroline Marks achieved her second consecutive back-to-back victory, following last year's! MAYHEM was on hand to watch the riders at the 7th WSL Championship Tour event, the Surf City El Salvador Pro. Both the men's and women's riders achieved great results, and they are on the verge of winning the WSL Shapers Ranking for the second consecutive year! Most of the LOST riders use the DRIVER3.0 ROUND TAIL as their main board and are very successful in competition scenes around the world. The DRIVER3.0 is highly recommended for surfers who primarily use high-performance models and surfers who are looking to improve their level from intermediate to advanced. If you ride the DRIVER3.0, you'll understand why it has achieved such great results! For a model description of "DRIVER3.0", click here! To purchase "DRIVER3.0" click here!

Learn moreNEW ARRIVAL! The new fish model "PISCES", which has evolved from the RNF'96, is now in stock with MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riKQyGZYVN8&list=TLGG8Ex-b5zfwMYxNTA2MjAyNA Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Love Surf has received the MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY of the new model "PISCES," which has been the talk of the town for its impactful promotional video, featuring black humor that you'll never forget once you've seen it! The classic, ultimate all-round model, the RNF'96, is a monster model that continues to sell well not only in Japan but all over the world, and we believe there are many people who already own it. We have improved its performance while retaining its user-friendliness, which is one of its greatest features. Compared to "RNF'96" Thinner nose! Add some nose rocker! Improved flatness between the legs! The width has been increased slightly and the outline has been made more rounded, improving maneuverability! By adding a VEE to the tip of the swallowtail and shaving off the deck line of the tail, the bottom curve is more accurately reflected, improving control in the pocket! With a 5-fin box, you can choose from quad, twin + 1, twin + 2, and twin depending on the wave conditions and the rider's preference! Through various updates, PISCES has improved the level of precision and operability without sacrificing speed and stability. Love Surf currently has MIJQ stockboards in sizes from 5'5" to 5'11". We will be gradually uploading them to the Love Surf web store, but if you want them now, please come to a Love Surf store or call us at 03-3732-5532. In-store, you can compare "PISCES" and "RNF'96" side by side! For a description of the "PISCES" model, click here!
