Limited edition towels from the photo book "THE LAST CRUSADE" by "Reckless Isolation," winner of the 2021 Surf Film of the Year award, are now in stock.
In the summer of 2020, when the world was on lockdown, freedom was restricted like in times of war, and the world was in fear, Kolohe Andino, Griffin Colapinto, Crosby Colapinto, Ian Crane, and Luke Davis risked everything to go on a surf trip to Indonesia! We have beach towels in stock for "THE LAST CRUSADE," a collector's book of photos from the surf trip "Reckless Isolation," which is as heavy and beautiful as a work of art. The printed surface is made of microfiber and the back is made of a hybrid of cotton fabric. This towel is easy to use and combines the excellent absorbency and quick-drying properties of microfiber with the softness of cotton.

Learn moreThe small conditions typical of the rainy season are continuing... Love Surf has a wide selection of surfboards that you can enjoy even in small conditions!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The other day, I checked the wave information before going to the beach and the waves were low, only waist to belly high, and by the time I got to the beach the wind was getting stronger, but the forecast was that the waves would probably get a little bigger. *This is an image for illustrative purposes only. After some deliberation, I decided to go with the RAD RIPPER, which I've been hooked on recently after trying out different fins, even though the waves were small. I wanted to ride the LIGHT SPEED, so I loaded the RAD RIPPER into my car, and the SHONAN WARRIOR, which I use as an insurance against small waves so I can ride it to my heart's content if the waves break. And then I headed to the beach. When I got to the beach and checked the waves, the noodles were clean, but the shins, knees, and eggs were all over the place... The conditions were quite tough for a shortboard, so I chose the SHONAN WARRIOR without hesitation and got in the water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI61zaABLs4 In such small conditions, the lineup was dominated by surfers using regular shortboards, and even the skilled surfers would manage to take off on the occasional set, only to sink the moment they stood up. However, I had my secret weapon, the SHONAN WARRIOR, so I had a blast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq8InaCoMt4 As I mentioned in a previous blog, the board paddles quickly and keeps moving even on waves where a shortboard would lose speed and sink.In sections with shoulders, you can even add action, so you'll have so much fun you'll feel bad for the surfers around you! I highly recommend having one in every household.

First up is LOST's performance mid-length series! "SMOOTH OPERATOR" and "PARTY CRASHER". Click here to find out more about "SMOOTH OPERATOR"! "PARTY CRASHER" available here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NQXP0ONQIU&list=TLGGymm241vxGg0yMTA2MjAyMg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__2tfb2YJrI&list=TLGGFNxC78ifmBcyMTA2MjAyMg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzBNoBv4Ai0&list=TLGGL3OcuEcA0bcyMTA2MjAyMg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h39-h6H2Dnk&list=TLGGvi5J2fFOhk8yMTA2MjAyMg In 2022, PLACEBO has adopted new high-strength cloth and PVC sheet (in FLEXLITE ULTIMATE4), making it stronger. Many of the models have materials and model designs that make use of buoyancy, and we recommend the ``RNF-SNAPPER,'' ``RE-LOADED,'' ``RNF-ULTRA,'' and ``ORCA'' for small conditions! For the RNF-SNAPPER, click here! Click here to check out "RE-LOADED"! Click here to find out more about RNF-ULTRA! For "ORCA" click here! The model we are introducing this time is a surfboard that can produce waves of 35 points or more even in small conditions, where a regular shortboard would send you home without even going into the water. You can enjoy satisfying surfing without using longboards or mid-length 7 or 8 boards, which have poor maneuverability, are large and inconvenient to carry, take up space at home and are booed by family, and are difficult to carry in elevators! Each model has a different ride feel, so please feel free to contact us at a Love Surf store or contact us !

Good evening. This is staff member Kohei. In the 7th CT race held last night in El Salvador, Griffin Colapinto, the young gun from San Clemente, California, and our top competitor representing LOST, made one comeback after another to score his second win, following his win in the 3rd CT race in Portugal. The wave conditions in El Salvador were far from their true potential, but Griffin Colapinto, who was using a DRIVER2.0 Round Tail, stood out from the other surfers by achieving a high score with the unstoppable, flowing surfing that only a Round Tail can provide, and won the competition! https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce6uiITPj-v/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Now with his second win and a place in the Final 5, Griffin Colapinto is finally in sight. To celebrate his victory, we will be holding the Griffin Victory Commemoration Fair! The contents are!!! DRIVER2.0 continues to achieve great results in numerous contests.

Learn moreSome sizes have sold out! Be sure to check out the 5 models of the latest EPS material {LIGHT SPEED} that LOST Surfboards has proudly created!
Five models of LOST's latest original EPS technology, "LIGHT SPEED," made from epoxy resin + {AERO BLANK} stringerless EPS foam + reinforced X-glass, have sold out in some sizes. According to a report from Pro Nishii, who is currently in California, there are a lot of surfers riding LIGHT SPEED at California's surfing spots. Compared to POLY surfboards, the {LIGT SPEED} is lighter and responds more sensitively to the rider's intentions, making it a great fit for the irregularly breaking beach breaks that most Japanese surfers enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29TiUhLOM5w To achieve top speed even in small or powerless waves, {AERO BLANK}'s supple, flexible EPS foam, EPOXY resin, and X-glass with white lines on the deck surface create elasticity and maintain surface strength, making it several times stronger than a POLY surfboard and allowing you to ride it for longer. The carbon placed in the center of the nose and tail plays the same role as a center-stringer surfboard, and its high rebound converts not only the front and back of the surfboard but also the left and right snaps into speed, which is the origin of the name {LIGHT SPEED}. Don't miss this opportunity to try out the LIGHT SPEED, which was created using the finest materials and through repeated trial and error by the top shaper and surfboard designer MAYHEM and the world-class riders at LOST Surfboards! It will change the way you surf! The dazzling white {LIGHT SPEED} shines pale blue in the sunlight, making other surfers turn around and take a second look. Choose from 5 models to suit your needs!

Learn moreReservations are pouring in for the SUP DRIVER model, created by MAYHEM to help you achieve high scores even in small conditions in Japan!
The popularity of the ``SUP DRIVER'', which was designed by ``MAYHEM'' for competitions in small conditions at the Olympics held in Shidashita last year, is unstoppable! Just the words "designed by MAYHEM, one of the world's top shapers and surfboard designers, to enable high performance surfing that will get you high scores at Shidashita Point in Japan" are enough to resonate with us Japanese surfers! The basis of "SUP DRIVER" is "DRIVER2.0", which has won numerous titles in competition scenes around the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8GeCycyQv8&list=TLGGR9cyRTH7SXcxNjA2MjAyMg The wide outline makes it the shortest board in the DRIVER series, making it easy to handle even in small waves with little shoulder, allowing for high-performance surfing as shown in the video! Even in small conditions with little power, the board's super-fast paddling performance, like a SUP, allows it to catch waves and take off faster than a longboard, which is where the name "SUP DRIVER" comes from. It's well known that Shizunami's wave pool is also great, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYlxO_XMfC0 The SUP DRIVER has changed the conventional wisdom of high-performance models for small conditions compared to Japan, and as there are more pre-orders than production, it seems unlikely that it will be available as a stock board in stores at the moment. If you want to ride the SUP DRIVER as soon as possible, we recommend that you make your reservation as early as possible! For a description of the "SUP DRIVER" model, click here!

Learn moreThe mid-fish model "RNF-ULTRA" with a "MAYHEM" shape design that focuses on paddle speed and allows you to ride waves all the way to the inside is now available in all sizes!
Based on the classic "Round Nose Fish," which is already renowned for its paddle speed and take-off performance, the "RNF-ULTRA" has been designed with a focus on faster paddling performance by reducing the CL value while increasing the length, allowing you to catch waves from the swell, draw a large line, and ride the wave all the way to the inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzBNoBv4Ai0&list=TLGGL3OcuEcA0bcxNDA2MjAyMg The great thing about the RNF-ULTRA is that it can handle not only small conditions but also large waves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG86rVLhlpU&list=TLGGGP7DJ5VhM1gxNDA2MjAyMg With a normal surfboard, the longer the length, the greater the CL value, width, and thickness, but MAYHEM designs the dimensions and form to maintain performance and avoid the typical sluggish mid-length board. Adult surfers can do it easily! And ride stylishly with big lines! On stiff sections, place your back foot behind the front fin for sharp action! [ap_show_item 65098] [ap_show_item 15563] I'm interested in mid-length surfboards, which have been trending lately, but they're too long for shortboarders and the surfboard itself is heavy... Even after catching the wave, the movement is too slow and not fun... There are a lot of people who think like this, right? "RNF-ULTRA" will solve that problem! Be sure to check out the real RNF-ULTRA at Love Surf stores! For a model description of the "RNF-ULTRA", please click here!
