The asymmetrical tail allows a wide range of surfers to enjoy the "asymmetrical turn" performance! MAYSYM!

It's a question every surfer has probably wondered about. When surfers surf, they use different movements with their fronthand and backhand, so why are surfboards contrasted? A question that has long been a surfer's... The answer that LOST SURFBOARD "MAYHEM" came up with is " MAYSYM "!!! Can you tell that it's different from the usual "MAYHEM" logo? This new 2019 model, MAYSYM, is a special asymmetrical tail design that was born after years of research into how an asymmetrical tail works, with countless updates and the help of Kolohe, Griffin, Mason, Ian, Nate, Shaw, and LOST Japan, who tried it on boards of all sizes. The board on the left is for regular stance and the board on the right is for goofy stance. For normal surfers, turning on the front side is easier and more fine-tuned, as it is controlled with the toes, so the hook channel allows you to push the tail rail more to make a tight, straight turn on the inside, or to apply weight slowly and for a long time to make a big, long drive turn. The heel side has a round tail. The design makes it easier to make bottom turns on the backside, and allows for better rotation and easier, nimble board control than a symmetrical tail, which allows for top turns, lip action, and carving on the heel side. By changing the shape of the left and right tails, we were able to increase the width of the tail area. LOST's new model, MAYSYM, has a wide tail, which gives it the advantage of being able to maintain speed in small, powerless waves or slow sections of the waves. MAYSYM Features ・The difference in tail shape affects left and right turns - Flat rocker line for unstoppable riding Agile and easy to operate - Can be ridden with various fin settings - Suitable for small waves and thick waves. ・A short, wide board suitable for intermediate riders ・Knee to head size recommended. While regular asymmetrical boards have asymmetrical fin settings, this "Maesim" model is designed to be ridden with a regular 5-fin setting to eliminate the difficulty of riding and ensure that it can be enjoyed by a wide range of surfers when it is released to the market. LOST SURFBOARD rider Mason Ho has an asymmetrical fin setup. On the toe side (rocket tail side) and front, a MAYHEM fin size L (side fin foil) was attached, and a MAYHEM fin size M (side fin foil) was attached in the QUAD rear fin position. When turning with the tail on the toe side, you can drive and gain speed, and when you do an air on the heel side, the size of the fin doesn't get in the way and you can take off higher, which feels great, and it seems that you can do not only airs but also slides, curves and lips without any problems! You can enjoy riding the MAYSYM with a tri-fin like Kolohe, a quad like Nate and Shaw, or with two small XS-size fins on one side and two large L-size fins on the other like Mason, so please try out various fin settings. ★Click here to visit the special page for the ``MAYSYM'' model!

LOST Surfboards' new category MID fish "RNF-ULTRA" resin tint campaign!

It was also featured on the 24'S blog the other day, so many of you may already know about it. LOST Surfboards New Category MID Fish "RNF-ULTRA" Have you ever wished your surfboard was a little longer when your usual surfing spot was big or crowded? I want a little more buoyancy, but I don't want to increase the rails or width of the surfboard like a mini board... MAYHEM's answer to such surfers is the ``RNF-ULTRA.'' With a normal FISH board, the longer the overall length of the surfboard, the wider and thicker it becomes, and the more buoyancy it has. However, with the RNF-ULTRA, even though the overall length of the surfboard is longer, the buoyancy remains almost the same, so dolphin-throughs are still easy to perform and the maneuverability is also very good. Despite the surfboard's long overall length, it has such high maneuverability thanks to MAYHEM's excellent shape design. There are probably many people who are riding the mid-length boards that have been appearing recently who are dissatisfied because although they have a fast take-off, they are slow to move and inconvenient to carry. Based on LOST's classic "Round Nose Fish," "RNF-ULTRA" has surprisingly light and nimble movements! We are currently running a campaign on four resin tint colors, offering a great deal at just ¥148,000 (usually ¥168,000). Don't miss it everyone!!! ★LOST's "RNF-ULTRA" is available >>here!

AM Rider "Hiroki" Weekend Report - PLACEBO ZEKE FLEXLITE-LIMITED Edition -

The weekend report from AM rider Hiroki has arrived! It's been a while since we've had a weekend report. Chiba Kitaichinomiya point. On this day, a strong northeasterly wind blew from the morning, and the rain was occasionally heavy, reaching thigh to waist height, right in the middle of the rainy season. The waves offshore were lazy, there were few breaking waves and they tended to disappear, and on the inside the waves there was only one action or not. The board used is a PLACEBO 5'5" ZEKE FLEXLITE-LIMITED . I love the TRI fin setting and always use it, but this time I went for a twin set with MR fins so that the waves were smaller and I could maneuver more easily. It takes off faster than the Goblin and is even more stable! The ZEKE allows for five different fin sets. The twin set in small waves feels snag-free and allows for quick movement. Although we only had a short surf time that day, we were satisfied and enjoyed using the ZEKE even in small waves! It's been a weekend where it's hard to find good waves...but depending on the waves, the board you use, and the fin settings, I think it will be a fun round! That's what he said. The PLACEBO 5'5" ZEKE FLEXLITE-LIMITED has the best paddle and takeoff performance in the series, and you can enjoy genuine, explosive takeoff and drive performance with five different fin settings. The FLEXLITE-LIMITED we delivered uses a deck made of "TEXALIUM" aluminum-coated cloth, making it the strongest PLACEBO board yet offering a smoother flex than carbon. Don't miss out on the limited edition PLACEBO 5'5" ZEKE FLEXLITE-LIMITED , a premium model with a total of 40 units produced and sold in limited quantities: 10 at 5'5", 20 at 5'7", and 10 at 5'9". ★PLACEBO "ZEKE" FLEXLITE-LIMITED Front FCSIIx2+Center Single Box is available >>here!

Surely there is no one who has never used "FU WAX"?

As you all already know, " FU WAX " has become the standard wax used by professional surfers and average surfers around the world. "Fripe Trade" is Brazilian, but has been living in San Clemente with his family for several years. At the recent WSL Oi Rio Pro in Brazil, he used FU WAX to win his first WSL victory of the season. He is the creator of FU WAX and a surfer who has been looking after FUAD since he was a child. At this time of year, for Jersey Full Suits, Seagulls and Spring, we recommend first applying BASE, then a little TROPICAL in the middle, and a thin coat of WARM as the top coat. A secret trick is to apply it to the tops of both feet before entering the sea, as in the case of Kei Kobayashi. When paddling, you can apply it to the soles of both your feet to further enhance your 3D grip! From now on, don't forget to do this before you go into the ocean and become a real FU WAXER with a difference! FU WAX stickers are also available! Perfect for your beloved surfboard or car! Now you're part of the FU WAXER family! ★Click here to find ``FU WAX'' >>>! ★Click here to find the ``FU WAX'' stickers!
