Nishii is collecting donations for the 2009 Sumatra earthquake!
Currently on sale, Featured in SURF 1ST magazine Nishii always goes on Mentawai boat trips I've been indebted to them and have introduced them on this blog several times. This office has also collapsed. In Padang, the area affected by the Sumatra earthquake that occurred on September 30, 2009, They operate boat trips to the Mentawai and other areas. From AKI of "Sumatran Surfari" I received an email about this situation. ------------------------------------------------------------------ October 4, 2009 All members of suatransurfariis are safe, but the office has collapsed. At the moment, the telephone, electricity, and water supply are all cut off, so we are unable to contact anyone. For now, it's okay. The internet environment is also unstable. I'll contact you again when things have calmed down. Aki ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 16, 2009 Yesterday, a gas cylinder buried in rubble near my previous office exploded and caused a fire. Fortunately, there were no fatalities. We are now able to give the donations we received from everyone little by little to those who have suffered the greatest damage. We are very grateful. Nowadays, people in Padang are calmer, I see a lot of people moving, loading their daily necessities onto trucks and wheelbarrows. Bulldozers are roaring through the town as they demolish collapsed buildings. There is so much dust in the town that our throats are sore and we have bad coughs. Don't worry, I'm doing well! The Australian Army had set up camp along the beach and were working with a system that turns seawater into fresh water. As a Japanese person, I said "thanks mate!" I've attached a photo from yesterday. The fire, the donations, the Australian Army, the people, Leroy. I will email you again.

It rained for two days in California. The rain stopped today and the waves rose like this. It's a great wave that you can ride for a really long time. Today in Oceanside I sneaked into the XTR factory. Then there is still a Kevlar carbon rail wrapped around it. Here is a board in the previous process (lamination)! It feels like I'm looking at a nude board. Of course, the rails are laminated with Kevlar carbon like this. The process of wrapping the Kevlar carbon rails. Speed Quest Model 3D Carbolic! Scorcher model 3D Carbolic! This box is designed to provide stability and strength to the board with the fins installed. It's a secret box that allows the material to harden at a certain temperature. Habiya inspecting the completed foam locker. To insert the center stringer, A machine that cuts the center of XTR foam in bulk. The Italian-made wooden stringers. For Habiyar, the board that was slow to be completed I checked the location and progress of each one and gave instructions to complete them as quickly as possible.

Today, when I went to Lost's surfboard warehouse, Here we have a dedicated board rack corner for boards sent to Japan! It's so popular that we've received many happy reservations from everyone. Free stock boards arrive in a flash, It caught the eye of customers who came to the store before it was even posted on the website. The beauty of the finished product, high performance, and long-lasting high-quality materials sold out quickly. Currently, there is no new stock at all, so it is extremely popular. "XTR 3D CARBOLIC" The stock board for the "XTR 3D CARBOLIC" is being completed. We have confirmed this. It will be carefully packed and air-shipped to Japan by the end of this month. In addition to the boards we deliver to you, Shea Lopez and Chris Ward's boards, Michael Ho, The Mason Ho board was also finished! And then, when I went to the Glass Factory, As we have been telling you about for a while now, the custom-made RIPQUEST parabolic POLY board is also available. We have progressed to the stage of installing the hot coat and fins! I'm looking forward to getting these boards done soon. I tried out the thin RIPQUEST size 5'9" and it was amazing! I wanted to ride it!
Learn morePlacebo 5'5"『SHANE BESCHEN』FLEX LITE!
『SHANE BESCHEN』 Placebo 5'5" FILM & EDIT by Daisuke Nakano http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/camp/rocket.html Schoen Beschen rides his signature model ROCKET, This is a riding movie of surfing on Japanese waves. This board is It's made by Precebo Flexlite and the rider is a whopping 5'5". Of course, it is a pre-made size. Shane's height and weight are outside the appropriate size, The paddling power and technique make up for that, and the takeoff is extremely fast. It doesn't seem to lack buoyancy. After taking off, the thick waves didn't start breaking easily. Shane makes good use of the rocket's properties, He makes fluttering turns, gaining speed and riding all the way to the close-out section, where he performs airs and other moves. What I want you to learn from this riding collection is how to connect these waves, At the top, we try to lay the rail as flat as possible to increase the weight load. This will result in bigger turns and lines, more spray and more powerful surfing. Every riding, You can see that even with Japan's weak waves, you can reach such high speeds. This Rocket model is made of Flexlite material, and as the name suggests, it is a magic design from Mayhem that allows you to instantly accelerate and gain speed even on flat sections, just like a rocket.

And here's Gorkin on a 5'9" F-1 Swallowtail. Looking at these, it looks like the surfing is going great. It seems that Gokin has won again at the 2009 TOMMY TANT CLASSIC! Before the final heat, the end fin broke off. I quickly reattached the fins with solar resin, Apparently he won with that board! Gokin has won again! He has not lost in any entry events this season! Of course, it was GORKWIN who led the team to victory this time as well. Following on from the Speed Damon series, when you think of Mayhem, you think of Scorcher! Before the official release of Scorcher in the spring of 2010, It has now become a masterpiece!
