Check out these photos of 12-year-old professional surfer Len Okano from the JPSA tournament.
LOST Japan team rider "Ren Okano" Please take a look at the still images taken from the footage Nishii shot at the Kamogawa JPSA match. At the age of 12, a junior high school student, he became the youngest person to become a certified JPSA professional. To become a JPSA professional, If you win the trial round and the first main round, you will be officially recognized as a professional. Also, if you get 11 points or more in a heat, you can become a professional. "Ren Okano" won the first main round, I fought against my older brother and won round 2. As you can see from the images, it's light, fast and has sharp surfing. Even though I've become a professional surfer, I'm still a kid, In round 3, he lost the match and was crying hysterically, looking very frustrated. Seeing him like that, I was sure he would continue to work hard and be successful in the future. The NSA Junior Open at Kawarako Kitahama Beach in Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture, will start today, the 29th (Friday). In November, we will be competing in the JPSA finals in Tahara, Aichi Prefecture. Everyone, please support "Ren Okano"! Also, he, Ren Okano, is also a member of the FU WAX team! The board I'm riding is the ``BABY DRIVER''!

The new designs "SINCE" and "GOOD VIBES" zip hoodies and coach jackets from Love Surf's original apparel line "California Collection," which launched last year, are now in stock! This popular apparel line has a California flavor that is unique to Love Surf, which has its roots in Tokyo and California! [ap_show_item 77206] [ap_show_item 77185] [ap_show_item 77007] [ap_show_item 77029] The ever-popular fleece-lined full-zip hoodie is an item that can be worn for a long season right up until spring! This time we used open-end yarn to create a dry texture! The full-zip hoodie, now upgraded to 12oz, is a must-have item for surfers. [ap_show_item 76470] The coach jacket, which is made with a focus on texture and has a matte body using polyester, cotton, and weather cloth, is now back with a new design! Not only has the texture of the body been carefully considered, but the cuffs have also been made more stylish, with shirt-like cuffs instead of ribbing! [ap_show_item 76474] [ap_show_item 76465] By applying a coating or lamination to the backside, the breathability of the material is reduced, making it harder for warm air to escape from inside the garment and improving its heat retention. The fabric is made of hydrophobic fluororesin, which means it repels water and makes it easy to remove dirt. [ap_show_item 76674] [ap_show_item 76615] A long-sleeve tee designed with comfort and a perfect silhouette. It can be worn alone or as an inner layer under a zip-up hoodie or coach jacket, so it can be worn for a long season and is very useful!

Learn moreThis is a rare find! Although we only have a limited quantity, we are introducing LOST's "MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY" boards for immediate delivery!
Seven models from LOST's "MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY" series released last year. "LOST MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY" is a series of seven carefully selected models created by MAYHEM, a world-class shaper and surfboard designer, and produced here in Japan by Shinji Murohara, who has been officially recognized by LOST Surfboards. As people all over the world know, the secret to their popularity is the extremely high quality of their surfboards, which are made with the world-renowned Japanese belief in manufacturing that does not overlook even the slightest imperfection, meticulous and delicate techniques, and in a factory with equipment equivalent to that of LOST Surfboards, which is based in San Clemente, California. This time we will introduce you to a very valuable stock board that can be delivered immediately! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0BPNFG8Pcs&list=TLGGGBvNaiEMXp4yNTEwMjAyMQ The SUB DRIVER 2.0 is extremely popular not only among competitors but also among surfers who want to improve their surfing skills. [ap_show_item 77858] It allows for high-performance surfing even at the typical irregular beach breaks in Japan, and compared to the DRIVER 2.0, it is shorter, wider, thicker, and has a more subdued rocker, making it easier to handle! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHk0T2M3mNo&list=TLGGCgJ4t7q6KOIyNTEwMjAyMQ "California Twin" is a performance fish created by "MAYHEM" and "Mark Richard" in one shaping room. [ap_show_item 51890] [ap_show_item 77593] Unlike the typical alternative twin fish models that are difficult to handle and have quirks that shortboarders may not be satisfied with, the California Twin is a fun model with nimble maneuverability that makes you feel like you're riding a performance model, and unstoppable speed that accelerates after takeoff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nElTMyK24UM&list=TLGGwe4gxj3nP8syNTEwMjAyMQ This high-performance fish model is an even more aggressive update of the RNF-RETRO, which Kolohe Andino loved and used in the small waves of his home beach, Trestles, with a longer, pointed nose and slightly stronger rocker, making it aggressive enough to be used in competitions. [ap_show_item 48572] [ap_show_item 44714] Pro Nishii has also done repeated test rides on Japan's small waves and reef breaks, and has three of them in his favorite quiver! It has received tremendous support from surfers who have always wanted to ride a LOST Surfboard but were unable to do so due to lack of budget, and has become an extremely popular model that is rarely seen on the shelves as a stock board! If you miss this chance, there is no guarantee when it will be available again, so if your size fits, we recommend you buy it without hesitation.
Learn moreBrand new! New model for the 21-22 season! Love Surf's limited edition model "Cyber5x3 /LIGHT-ZERO LIMITED" has arrived one after another!
The Love Surf limited edition model "Cyber5×3 / LIGHT-ZERO LIMITED" has been released, overturning the conventional wisdom of ready-made wetsuits and generously using high-performance brushed material! This is the latest model that features the "long chest zip," which is now the most popular zip system for winter season wetsuits. The "long chest zip" uses a soft, stretchy "stretch coil zipper" that allows for smooth putting on and taking off without any tightness around the chest, and also allows for good athletic performance. And the most notable point is that it is a wetsuit to be used in the middle of winter, so it is highly waterproof! If seawater gets into your wetsuit during the coldest months of January and February, it will rapidly cool your body, making it hard and seriously affecting your surfing, right? The "Long Chest Zip" allows much less water to seep in compared to other zip systems, so your body won't get cold even in the middle of winter, allowing you to surf comfortably for long periods of time! The brushed material used throughout the wetsuit is the same high-performance brushed material "Carbonic Dry" and "Aero Capsule" that is also used in fully custom-made models! Available in six sizes: M, ML, ML-R, L, LR, and XL, it covers a wide range of heights, weights, and body types! [ap_show_item 75567] High quality and low price made possible by the collaboration between Love Surf and Cyber. Get your hands on the Cyber5×3 / LIGHT-ZERO LIMITED before it sells out and enjoy comfortable surfing during Japan's long, cold winter season!
