Must-see movie! [Translated] LOST "RNF'96" Mayhem's model explanation video
[Translated] LOST "RNF'96" Mayhem's model explanation video This is the prototype of the Round Nose Fish, released in 1996. It's a special 25th anniversary edition. I wanted to do something to commemorate the 25th anniversary. This original version of the Round Nose Fish It showed Lost and me the path and possibilities we could take. He popularized the round-nose fish around the world. I'd also like to thank Chris Ward, Corey Lopez and the staff at the time. The early version of the round nose fish shaped like a Cory I have a few in storage, and this time I used them as the base. My first priority was to make it as close to the original as possible. Based on the original design and its philosophy I tuned it up bit by bit with the latest design. It's a small detail, but it has a curve that doesn't waste any space. I feel like it's become smoother It's even better than the original Anyway, Cory was riding it in 1996. The base is 5'5"x19 1/4". The idea for this design came from Chris Ward in the fall of 1994. It all started when I said I wanted something like a performance fish. About a year later, the Round Nose Fish was completed. Then in 1996, Corey and Chris discovered the Round Nose Fish. He brought it to Hawaii and became a hot topic. We made a surf movie called "5'5"x19 1/4" using the footage from that time. Why this round-nose fish became such a revolutionary topic That was the fish design at the time. The width of the tail area is incredibly thin. Speaking of Phish in the 1990s, Tommy Peterson's Fireball and Stave Squirrel San Diego Fish Those fish are insanely wide The fishtail made it difficult to maneuver. It was designed for relaxed surfing. In those days, the width of the 12-inch part from the tail The same fish as the performance shortboard has arrived. It's about 14 3/4" or 15" wide. The swallowtail is not extremely narrow, but as you can see, it is not wide either. From here on out, the tail area is almost a performance shortboard outline. The reduced surface area provides good response and high drive performance for sharp movements and turns. This is a performance that is impossible for so-called retro fish. And this latest improved version has a loose tail rocker. However, the combination of a single concave and a V bottom The rail line can be curved considerably The area from the front legs to the tail So even in a tough position on a hard wave, you can react well and do vertical surfing. Acceleration is possible with small upswings even in the tube The rail curve that allows for concave from the center It gives dramatic acceleration The concave increases the rail height. The difference becomes larger as you move towards the tail, creating a rail curve. In contrast, the center stringer line is a gentle curve that is a little flat. So there's speed and acceleration. There is also a moderate amount of nose rocker. Especially around 30cm to 45cm from the tip Carving with rails and taking off on deep waves Can be hit from the backside, frontside, or vertically There's a moderate amount of nose rocker Nose or rails get caught This area in the middle is flat and straight outline So it has speed and acceleration. Explain why the nose and tail There's something I haven't done I did it unconsciously when shaping I had never really noticed it The width of the nose and tail is the same for 30cm. You could call it a double ender Last year I looked back at the stock sizes, from 5'0" to 6'6". I confirmed that the width of the nose and tail at this point is the same. One board has a 38cm nose and tail. A big board has a nose and tail of about 40cm. So what this means is It's a good balance between acceleration and turning. Especially effective when extending turns and accelerating This double ender is what Wayne Lynch and others It's a design that has evolved, and it must have influenced me too. So, I've added a lot of ideas and knowledge. The latest version of the round nose fish was born. The stringer is a thin type with two structures. The board flexes a lot Considering the balance with thin stringers Standard weight foam is used. However, the glassing has been lightened. The top is a single layer of 6 oz., which goes well with the standard foam. The tail is reinforced with 4 oz. Volan cloth. You can see it by looking at it. The bottom side is made of a single layer of 4 oz cloth. I started using Decal last year. A miniature Lost and Mayhem logo that doesn't stand out too much. It's perfect for small surfboards like this. Twin fins or stabilizers available The fins are positioned so that you can ride. This is the Round Nose Fish 96 While recreating the original round nose fish It's a tuned-up version of a design that has evolved over the past 25 years. https://vimeo.com/525451897

"RAD RIPPER" was released last year. Its popularity has not waned to this day, with stock boards rarely available and most customers pre-ordering and purchasing without even seeing the actual product. However, Love Surf has just received a new shipment of resin-colored stock boards from California! Released as an international model in 2019, the RAD RIPPER captured the hearts of many surfers and became the best-selling model in the world in 2019, out of all brands and models around the world! The RAD RIPPER has been praised by most surfers who have ridden it, and it's such an amazing model that many people have bought it again in the same size because it's so good! https://vimeo.com/525447743 The RAD RIPPER was created by world-class top shaper and surfboard designer MAYHEM, who perfectly fused 80's designs such as staple rails, flat decks, and beaked noses with cutting-edge surfboard design to create a user-friendly model that has been praised by professional surfers and casual surfers alike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9aVkWnV3i0 The most outstanding feature of the RAD RIPPER is its speed. It allows anyone to paddle steadily, and the paddle is efficiently transmitted to the surfboard and the wave, allowing for quick and stable takeoff, which gives the user more room to maneuver and take them to the next level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELWfTvUW6z0&t=85s https://vimeo.com/434546167 The resin color of the "RAD RIPPER" that has just arrived is "Matte Half Opaque," which has not been available before.

Learn moreSwiss Made! The H4 fins will take surfers to the next level! Only a few left!
The previously released H2 and H3 fins also had unique designs that set them apart from other fins, but the H4's design, combination of two different templates, and sophisticated Swiss engineering all combine to create a fin that combines unprecedented speed and control. The side fins create maximum acceleration at the bottom of the fin, while the axe-shaped tip provides stability and control. The center fin has a large, raked, nearly oval outline that reduces water turbulence behind the fin while providing excellent release performance. The H4 is designed based on fluid dynamics to maximize speed, drive and control, taking the player to the next level. Even beginners will find it easier to gain speed with these fins than with traditional fins, and intermediate and advanced surfers will gain greater balance and control, providing great benefits to both the surfboard and the rider. The H4 Quad Fin adds speed and drive to the power and control of the H4 Thruster. The quad set consists of two rear fins designed to work in conjunction with medium and large side fins. Filipe Toledo used this board on the waves at Newcastle where the CT was held recently, and showed off some impressive riding!

The "PARTY CRASHER," which was released last year as the second addition to LOST's performance mid-length series and was sold out, is now back in stock in new colors! The resin color used this time is a matte resin color called half opaque! This new resin color is a must-see! It's sure to appeal to stylish adult surfers! It looks great! "PARTY CRASHER" allows older surfers over 45 to compete on equal terms with energetic kid surfers even at crowded spots! No, no, it's a crowd-killing design that was designed with the concept of being able to ride the waves on equal terms or better! Compared to a standard shortboard, the longer and thicker design makes it easier to catch waves at the swell stage, which was previously impossible, and allows you to ride more waves with less effort! Mid-length boards are trending now, but I hear a lot of genuine shortboarders say that mid-length boards (7-8cm) are too heavy and not fun at all... The mid-length PARTY CRASHER created by MAYHEM is a big seller because it combines the performance and maneuverability that are characteristic of LOST, satisfying true shortboarders! If you actually see a surfer riding the PARTY CRASHER in the ocean, it's obvious! He was able to ride the waves more easily than ever before, creating actions that were just like a performance board, and he was always smiling! https://vimeo.com/525846054 Are there any of you who, due to declining physical strength with age or being unable to go to the beach as often, spend most of your time waiting for waves to come in and don't get to ride many waves? Are there any of you who are forcing yourself to buy a surfboard because you like the look of a slim, thin board? It would be a waste to just float away when you're spending your precious holiday time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90nVodFRBI0 We highly recommend the "PARTY CRASHER," a mature performance mid-length shoe from "LOST" that looks cool and feels great!

Introducing WAX TRAK, a stylish and convenient item from San Clemente, California, a city that continues to lead the surf scene! By sticking "WAX TRAK" to your surfboard, you can wax it up in style! [How to use] 1. Attach the sheet to the front of a clean board. *The sheet has many tiny holes that prevent air from getting in, making it easy for anyone to apply. 2. Once the sheet is attached, lightly apply a top coat of wax on top. The waxing is completed in no time! Note: Although the manufacturer states that no base coat is required, I highly recommend using a base coat. In any case, it is better to apply a base coat first and then a top coat. It is economical because it reduces the amount of TOP used. This is because the most important thing, grip, is clearly improved. "WAX TRAK" comes in three different designs, and you can create a stylish design just by lightly applying wax, which is great! If you want to change the wax after using it a few dozen times, you can easily remove the wax by peeling off the sheet, and it will be restored to its beautiful condition in no time. [ap_show_item 9416] I highly recommend the addictive "WAX TRAK" - once you start using it you won't be able to stop! https://vimeo.com/525846054
