LOST's first mid-length rod, the SMOOTH OPERATOR, which is highly praised by MAYHEM and Nishii Pro, is now available in resin and clear colors in Made In Japan Quality!
MAYHEM himself visited the soft, gently sloping waves where he taught his children how to surf, and designed the SMOTH OPERATOR for himself to enjoy while teaching them. It took him about two years to complete the board. Just hearing that "MAYHEM" was designed, tested repeatedly, and completed for himself, it's bound to be great! The Made In Japan "SMOOTH OPERATOR" also uses special blanks made with ARCTIC's "Taper Stringer," which is also used in the California-made "SMOOTH OPERATOR." This "tapered stringer" starts at 6mm in the nose area and gradually becomes thinner towards the tail area. The nose area has a thick stringer that provides excellent strength and acceleration, allowing you to feel the speed gained from paddling or your front foot being converted into forward momentum.The strings in the tail area become thinner, so when you step on the tail, it flexes to create rotational performance, improving control, which is an important point. The SMOOTH OPERATOR is long, so it can catch waves from the outside that a short board wouldn't be able to catch, and it continues to accelerate after taking off, allowing you to ride out the wave to the very end. Of course, please don't land on it as it will damage your surfboard lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9_FJNX4qUU&t=1s One of the features of the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is that it moves smoothly and easily without strong paddle force! You won't get tired from paddling, so you can ride lots of waves for a long time. On the other hand, surfers who are confident in their paddling power can create an overwhelming gap between them and the other surfers with their overwhelming speed! As I mentioned before, a pleasant surprise for MAYHEM itself was that SMOOTH OPERATOR performed well even at points where special waves were breaking. The SMOOTH OPERATOR was originally designed for small, low-power conditions, but MAYHEM has now taken it upon himself to create waves that are close to triple-sized with the SMOOTH OPERATOR. Furthermore, in waves of this size, the MAYHEM rips from a well-timed bottom turn! The shaper proved that the model he designed and shaped works well not only in small waves but also in big waves!

Love Surf currently has the best surfboards that are magic boards for surfers of all styles and levels, but today I would like to introduce my top recommended model. It's been almost two years since I bought it, but the model I still use the most is the RNF-RETRO! I usually take two or three surfboards with me when I go to the beach, but the RNF-RETRO is extremely useful as it allows me to surf above average in any conditions. As you can imagine from the outline, it allows for a stable and fast paddle and takeoff, which is a great advantage in crowded areas! *Of all the boards in my quiver, the SHONAN WARRIOR is by far the fastest to paddle. The bottom shape starts out flat, then becomes single, and there's a spiral VEE at the rear of the fin. After taking off, just standing on the surfboard will give you rapid speed gains, and you can control the surfboard with good response and precision. https://vimeo.com/365679876?embedded=true&source=vimeo_logo&owner=3533399 Up to this point, other brands' retro fishboards may have a similar feel, but the RNF-RETRO, created by MAYHEM, one of the world's leading shapers and designers, also boasts performance capabilities! Pay attention to the tail area. The double sidecut outline, something you'll never see in surfboard design, grips the face of the wave and allows for aggressive, tight turns that you wouldn't expect from a low-rocker retro fish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCZmvjeJ7z8&list=TLGGLJ9msZwMqwAyMjA1MjAyMg The RNF-RETRO has four fin boxes, so you can choose between quad and twin fins depending on the conditions and your style. We have tried out a variety of fins, so if you are planning to purchase the RNF-RETRO or are already using it, please feel free to ask us any questions! The RNF-RETRO combines a modern and cool look with the look of a vintage board and the performance you expect from LOST, making it a model we can confidently recommend! For "RNF-RETRO" click here!
