It's ready to go! Pro Nishii's magic board! LOST's "RNF-RETRO REVAMP" BLACK SHEEP BUILT MADE IN CALIFORNIA is now on sale!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Sorry for the wait! We've received a lot of inquiries from many of you asking, "When is the release date?" and "I'd like to pre-order?", proving once again how popular LOST's "RNF-RETRO REVAMP" BLACK SHEEP BUILT MADE IN CALIFORNIA is, so we're happy to announce the release date! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLXe1JoScfQ&list=TLGGKQoYgXN8fgwyMTA4MjAyNA Traditional fish models are popular among stylish surfers, and there are many models available from alternative surf brands to big brands. However, the RNF-RETRO REVAMP, created by MAYHEM, which is known for its high performance and is currently leading the 2024 WSL Shaper Rankings and is close to returning to the top, is different from fish models that are specialized for running sideways, and is also good at turning and acting with tight radii just like a performance model! Videos by professional golfers Nishii and Cole Haushmand prove this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BV0maosCd8&t=522s Wide outline! Location of the widest point! Nose shape! Rear side cut! Tail block! Rocker curve! An update from the hit model "RNF-RETRO"! The San Diego Fish model "RNF-RETRO REVAMP" combines the sophisticated and cool look of a modern and beautiful vintage board with the performance you expect from LOST! The material that is currently getting the most attention from LOST Surfboards is undoubtedly "BLACK SHEEP BUILT"! As any discerning surfer who checks numerous YouTube and Instagram accounts knows, Nishii isn't the only one who's hooked on "BLACK SHEEP BUILT"! This is a favorite material of a number of famous riders, including ``MAYHEM,'' ``KOLOHE,'' ``IAN,'' ``MICHAEL,'' ``SKY,'' and ``ARASHI''! I myself ride the "BLACK SHEEP BUILT" and the more I ride it, the more I'm hooked on the amazing flex performance of this material! "BLACK SHEEP BUILT" A light, strong, high-speed material that flexes and rebounds with great suppleness! Made with epoxy resin + stringerless 1.5lb EPS foam + Triax carbon! Featuring an ultra-lightweight 1.5 lb (680g) EPS blank as its core and our exclusive Triax high-quality carbon fiber, it's a material designed to make for a fast, responsive and lively surfboard. Triax carbon is glass laminated with epoxy resin on the surface to provide both durability and performance. The deck rails and bottom are not wrapped around the edges, but rather around the edges, and the Triax is encased in 4oz fiberglass, giving it quick response, flexible flex underfoot and overall feel. The performance of BLACK SHEEP BUILT surfboards comes from Triax carbon, which combines a three-axis layup. The rail-to-rail twist is enhanced and controlled by the non-crimped multi-directional carbon. The 0° fiber from tip to tail acts as a live stringer, allowing the board to flex smoothly as you step on it, increasing rebound speed and quick response. The +30/-30° fibers, which are angled rather than 90 degrees to the stringer line from nose to tail, control the twist and return of the entire surfboard and convert it into speed. Because it is not woven, the fibers are flatter and contain less resin, resulting in a smoother, stronger and more natural flex, reducing weaknesses such as creases, cracks and breaks in the deck surface.

Learn moreWhich board did Kolohe Andino, who is currently visiting Japan, choose from the five available?
This happened on August 20th. Founded by Kolohe Andino, the community brand 2% (Two Percent) that supports the next generation of surfers in San Clemente has started its Japan tour, and on August 20th at 2:00 PM, Kolohe and two crews surfed at Shidashita, the venue for the Tokyo Olympics. The day before, Nishii, who was in California, had asked Kolohe if he wanted a surfboard to ride, so I asked Love Surf staff members Kohei and Ryuji to take five surfboards. The board he chose from the five was none other than Kolohe's signature model, the "SUP DRIVER," a quality board made in Japan. This surfing on the boat at Shidashita was filmed by Kohei and Ryuji, It will be released on YouTube, so please look forward to it! https://youtu.be/4BV0maosCd8
Learn moreIt seems that "FU WAX," which has the No. 1 grip, was a must-have surf wax for winning an Olympic medal!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Did you all know? The fact that all of the men's gold, silver, and bronze medalists at the recent Paris Olympics held in Teahupo'o, Tahiti were "FUWAXERS"! Furthermore, women's gold medalist Caroline Marks is also a "FUWAXER"! Perhaps FU WAX was the quickest way to win a medal at the Olympics! FU WAX is what grips your feet and supports the best riding for not only Olympians, but also world-class surfers who compete in the world's best CT tours, CS, and QS, as well as ordinary surfers like us! Once you try FU WAX, you'll be so addictive that you won't be able to go back to your old ways due to the difference in grip compared to other waxes. Each wax is carefully handmade by FU in Brazil using a top-secret recipe that is not shared with anyone else, and as production is limited, it is a precious surf wax that is always in short supply worldwide.

Learn moreOnly a few left! The long-selling model! PLACEBO "RE-LOADED" DURA-FLEX4 is almost sold out!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Please hurry up! There are only a few left of PLACEBOSurfboards' long-selling model "RE-LOADED," which has been selling for many years! PLACEBO "RE-LOADED" meets a wide range of needs, including those who are just starting to surf, those switching from longboards to shortboards, those returning to surfing after a break, those who can't go to the beach regularly due to work or family reasons, surfers who prefer small, breaking waves, and surfers who are comfortable at crowded spots. The RE-LOADED PLACEBO, designed by MAYHEM, the No. 1 ranked WSL shaper, has extraordinary dimensions not found in other brands. The overwhelming width and thickness compared to its length creates speeds for paddling and takeoff, and the genius of MAYHEM, a leader in the global high-performance board scene, has given it athletic performance that is impossible to find in a surfboard of this size, making it appealing to the needs of a wide range of surfers. The nose area is large and rounded with a gentle rocker that gradually tapers towards the tip. The use of a grab rail makes it easier to dolphin even on the buoyant ``RE-LOADED,'' so it can be used safely even in waves with a certain number of waves. The tail shape is based on the double bump rocket tail of the LOST V3 Rocket, allowing for shortboard-like turns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Q-Yb07a44 The RE-LOADED has a mid-length outline from the center to the front, allowing it to catch waves like a mid-length, while the center to the back allows for performance style turns, so you can surf using the rails properly rather than just gliding along the surface of the wave! [ap_show_item 349231] The combination of rail ends that are thinner than the numbers suggest and a double bump rocket tail makes it surprisingly easy to hit the lip or perform roundhouse cutbacks. The RE-LOADED moves differently than other surfboards that just take off quickly, so intermediate and advanced shortboarders will definitely enjoy it! Don't miss out on the PLACEBO "RE-LOADED" which is sure to be a hit even at crowded spots during the peak season!
