The day before yesterday, Nishii, who rarely plays the second round, With the kids surfers who had gathered during the New Year holidays, After the first round, we moved to Hirasaura in the afternoon. The waves were unexpectedly large and good. Check out the photos from another round of surfing. The board he is riding is a special model used by cool guys to beat the young guys to the waves in crowded beaches. 5'10" 'PARTY CRASHER' 32cl. With this board, you can not only ride the waves even in crowded places, Even if you're tired, you'll be motivated to play a second round! A short, thick board for small waves is also good, From now on, the cool uncle will be a longer drink with a volume difference of more than 5cl compared to the usual.

Learn moreHey everyone! Did you catch any good waves on your first surfing of the new year? Here are some photos we took in the new year!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Did you all catch a good wave at the start of the new year? We filmed some surfing in southern Chiba, so please take a look! Most of the photos in this article were taken by me, a total amateur, so please look at them with an open mind lol The first round was filmed at Ohara Point. The waves on the day were light with a set of low to medium waves, and although it was quite crowded, Pro Nishii was on the ``California Twin'' and Love Surfrider ``Hiroki'' was on the ``ZEKE2.0'', they were able to choose good waves and enjoy themselves! “California Twin” LightSpeed "ZEKE2.0" FLEXLITE-LIMTED On this day, most of the waves were fast and the conditions were good for short rides at best, but both the ``California Twin'' and ``ZEKE2.0'' are models that are primarily used in small waves, and they have very fast speeds after takeoff and standing up, so they were able to run through sections where most people would get caught, creating a lot of action! "DRIVER2.0" "PARTY CRASHER" The wind got stronger halfway through and the conditions deteriorated, so for the second round we moved to Hirasaura where the wind seemed more suitable for surfing! "DRIVER2.0" Immediately after entering the water, there were a constant stream of belly to chest sized fish breaking up and it was quite crowded. However, with the number of waves being so high it didn't really bother me, but as time went on the size increased and we even got some head-high sets. The conditions at Hirasaura were so good that it was almost frustrating to film, and if you chose the right waves you could enjoy long rides with action on both sides! "PARTY CRASHER" While I was taking the photos, I noticed that the LOST mid-length series "PARTY CRASHER" is longer in length, has a high CL value, and is thick... I was surprised to see Nishii surfing with such agility, it was like a performance model, which is hard to imagine from its appearance! 『ZEKE2.0』FLEXLITELIMTED The conditions seemed difficult for the ZEKE2.0, but the surfers continued to take long, action-packed rides even in the hollow waves, and it was clear from filming that Hiroki and the ZEKE2.0 have great potential! I dislocated my knee while surfing on New Year's Eve... It looks like surfing is still a long way off... Please be careful not to get hurt!

Learn moreNew Year! Freshly taken photos! Nishii's "First ride and first board of 2021" surfing photos!
Check out the photo of Nishii's first surfing session, taken yesterday at Ohara Parking Point in southern Chiba. The board I'm riding was only completed at the end of 2020, but I had been saving it for 2021. 5'5" CALIFORNIA TWIN 27.25CL LIGHT SPEED! I've been riding a 5'10" PARTY CRASHER 32CL lately, Switching to the shorter 5'5" CALIFORNIA TWIN allowed me to ride sharper and faster. What I want to tell you more is that LIGHT SPEED technology has amazing rebound! Because there are no stringers, the rebound speed after bending is amazing, just like the PLACEBO! The factory is busy and it will take some time for the 2021 LIGHT SPEED stock boards to arrive, If you are waiting, please look forward to the arrival!!

Learn moreHappy New Year! Here's the final surfing report of 2020 on "RNF-RETRO"!
Happy New Year. I hope you will continue to support us this year. Without further ado, here is a report on my final surfing trip of 2020 on my favorite RNF-RETRO. At the end of 2020, I went surfing at Chitose Point with Love Surf users. As for the waves, there were still some swells from the previous day, with a consistent high to low ripple, and the wind was weak, so the surface was beautiful! Most of the smaller waves were dampers that were a bit on the inside and you couldn't ride them even if you took off, but the set waves were action-packed and had a firm shoulder that allowed for long rides! This time at the RNF-RETRO, I expected the waves to be small and not likely to break, so I went in with my recent favorite FCSⅡ MACHADO KEEL twin fins. The twin fin setup of the RNF-RETRO and FCS II MACHADO KEEL allows for an even faster and more relaxed takeoff than the already well-known start, and I personally find it works well in smaller or thicker waves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVyLFiRXhsE There are various types of trendy twin fins, but since the base is long and the area is wide, it is recommended as it is relatively easy to handle even for those who are using twin fins for the first time or who are not good at it. In conditions like this, I think the FCSⅡ "MB PG SPLIT KEEL/QUAD" was better, with a stronger hold and better drive performance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSFPpZ1BKVM The outline is a stylish San Diego fish surfboard, but even LOST users will be satisfied with the performance and quick take-off capabilities of our favorite model, the RNF-RETRO, so we recommend that you try it out at least once!

Learn moreIt's recommended to use earplugs before the condition worsens! Love Surf has a wide variety of earplugs available!
Hey everyone! You can check out "Surfer's Year" for free at Love Surf! All the staff at Love Surf had bones sticking out, so I would definitely recommend wearing earplugs. Compared to the past, more people are wearing earplugs in the ocean. It seems to vary from person to person, but if you have been surfing for a long time and often surf in cold water, please be careful. The human body's natural reaction is for the bones inside the ear to grow, narrowing the ear canal and in the worst cases, blocking the ear canal and causing hearing loss and pain. [ap_show_item 2798] These earplugs are made by surfers for surfers and are expensive, but the quality is more than worth it. In addition to being waterproof, it also comes with four silicone tips that can be changed depending on the size of your ears and the sound collection function that you may be concerned about while surfing. It comes with a leash so you won't lose it! [ap_show_item 11243] Patty Buddies are moldable like clay, so they fit perfectly to any ear shape. It comes with 3 sets and is a great value for the price. [ap_show_item 12038] It's so light that you'll forget you're wearing it. The silicone part of the earplug body uses highly concentrated nano silver, so it also has antibacterial properties. Some people say things like, "I can't hear conversations," "I can't hear the sound of the waves," or "Earplugs feel uncomfortable in my ears," but unlike in the past, high-quality earplugs are now available, so we recommend using them to prevent "surfer's ear."
Learn moreFreshly taken! I rode the "PARTY CRASHER" again! This board is in great condition!
Recently, Nishii has been enjoying riding This is the 5'10" PARTY CRASHER 32CL model from LOST's mid-length series. Even though they are called mid-length, the length of the boards stocked by Love Surf is as follows: Starting at 5'10", the length is similar to the mid-lengths of longboard manufacturers. For older guys like you who usually ride shortboards, It is a size range that is easy to ride and can also be used with a lip. If you order online today, we can ship it to you so you can receive it before the end of the year! With LOST's mid-length series, you'll be able to ride the waves at the crowded beaches during the New Year holidays! I recommend this to even experienced surfers, as it will make your future surfing life even more enjoyable!
Learn moreIt's going well so I went for another ride! Part 2 of my impressions of PLACEBO's "RAD DIABLO"!
It was running so well that I decided to ride the PLACEBO RAD DIABLO again and would like to share my impressions with you. On the day, the forecast had been for the strong winds from the night before to die down in the afternoon, so we headed for lunch to a spot where there aren't usually many waves. However, when we arrived, the wind had changed direction much earlier than predicted and had weakened, so the surface and shape of the waves were good, but the size was small, about the size of a weak peach sett-cosi. Last time I surfed with a quad setting, so this time I tried riding with a tri-fin. It depends on the conditions of the day and the rider's preference, but personally I found the quad setting to be by far the best. I think it's partly because I like the quad setting to begin with, but first of all, there's no resistance in the middle of the surfboard compared to the tri setting, so takeoff is a step faster, and the moderate looseness increases the surfboard's rotational ability, making it move better. Unlike a tri-fin setting, there is no fin in the middle, so the speed on the upswing is faster and the bottom-to-top movement is shallower than with a tri-fin setting, but it was light and enjoyable surfing! However, as I mentioned earlier, the wave conditions and the rider's preferences are important, and the position of the quad fins varies depending on the model, so it's not a perfect fit for all models. If you have a RIPPER, I highly recommend you try it! I thought that the conditions on this day might be a little tough for PLACEBO's "RAD DIABLO" but I went in anyway... Once again, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the PLACEBO material, FLEXLITE, and the design of RAD DIABLO! After about two hours, the waves stopped breaking, but I managed to catch 28 waves in the first hour and a half!!! (I proved I could catch a lot of waves!) Not all of the rides were long, but the fact that I was able to ride this long with my thighs and hips not having much power is a testament to the quality of the materials that are unique to PLACEBO. To be honest, the ZEKE was a better fit for the conditions that day, but I was still surprised at how much fun I had in such small conditions! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wELn-oHtjsM The PLACEBO RAD DIABLO I rode this time was 5'8" and 27.5cl, and my dimensions are 168cm and 62kg. The LOST RAD RIPPER at 5'8" has a CL of 29.25cl, but the PLACEBO RAD DIABLO has a lower CL value and is made of a different material, so while the paddle and take-off performance is the same, the movement is lighter and more responsive. If you watch the video of professional surfer Nishii above, you can clearly see how the surfboard flexes and converts into speed! https://vimeo.com/463326609 This time, I was able to once again appreciate the quality of the materials used in PLACEBO's "FLEX LITE-ULTIMATEⅡ" and the design of "RAD DIABLO"! For beginners and intermediate surfers who want to improve, as well as advanced surfers who want to surf easily. PLACEBO's "RAD DIABLO" and LOST's "RAD RIPPER" are highly recommended models that you should definitely try out! PLACEBO's "RAD DIABLO" is available >>>here! Click here to find LOST's "RAD RIPPER"!
