Nishii reports from LOST Surfboards in San Clemente!
Terry Shin, the airbrusher at LOST Surfboards. Some of you may recognize the boards he works on by their design. It's the " MAYSYM " model. Check out the latest masterpiece by Teri Singh here: Apparently they included the logo "ANTI SOCIAL CLUB." Apparently they made eight identical boards. Here is the template. This is the "AKU" machine cutting the blanks. A laser beam is being applied to the blank to center it. How the "AKU" machine cuts blanks This round cutter moves to make the cut. This is the newly added LOST surfboard storage facility. Boards sent to Japan are also stored here, Once completed, they are brought here one after another from the factory and inspected. Please look forward to the stock boards of each resin tint color model that will be in stock before Golden Week!
Learn moreSession 3! What's the next most important thing after choosing a board to suit the waves?
"Chucky Rigano" x " DIABLO-X " session part 3! I went with Chucky yesterday too! Chucky's home in Huntington Beach. The previous two times were at Southside Pier, There is a sandbar where the waves get better at high tide. This time we'll be having a session at Northside Pier on the north side! Right from the very first run, we started with a barrel ride! The first half of the session was with large MF tri-fins . In the second half, we compared the ride on an M-size PF quad . With waves this big, The M size PF quad seemed to work better. The way the initial speed is gained after rising from the shore break is I noticed that the PF quad accelerated more instantly. I always keep the same size and number of fins so I can choose the right one to suit the waves. Make your session the best it can be! The next most important thing after choosing a board to suit the waves is the fins! It's absolutely not okay to always wear the same fins! Deepen your knowledge of fin design and enjoy surfing smarter. Chucky-san, I've been riding the DIABLO-X FLEXLITE-LIMITED every day recently, so I'm getting used to it. The DIABLO-X is an all-around board, and by selecting the right fins, its performance can be further enhanced. "It's a great model," he says. Chucky's wife is due to give birth this week, He said this would be his last session before he becomes a father.

Mr. A, She chose the PLACEBO "ORCA" SOFT TOP and HARD BOTTOM . He had been looking for a safe soft top board to surf with his family, but was not satisfied with any of the options, as they all felt like toys that were just longer bodyboards. Then he found out about the PLACEBO ORCA Soft top & Hard bottom, and chose the safe 6'2" size, thinking, "This is a sturdy soft board that I think I could enjoy using myself." Mr. B, You chose the PLACEBO "ZEKE" FLEXLITE-HYPER . He's a veteran surfer and heavy surfer who has ridden every board in the new Easy Surf model line from MAYHEM Shape Design. This time, he chose the latest PLACEBO model, the 5'9 ZEKE, after hearing that it has a faster takeoff than the GOBLIN. He was excited to have a new weapon that will allow him to keep up with the younger surfers. Mr. C said, You chose PLACEBO's DIABLO-X FLEXLITE-HYPER . The board size is 5'9". The board he had been riding until now was a PLACEBO EL-DIABLO, and he was considering switching over to a new board when the LOST & PLACEBO Spring Stock Board Fair started, so he took advantage of it and purchased the board. Mr. D, You chose the PLACEBO "ZEKE" FLEXLITE-HYPER . He had been interested in this model since its release and had come to the store several times to see it in person, but he lost the fins of his current Goblin board in the ocean and had ordered new paraffins, but rather than go through the expense, he decided to replace it with the new, fully redesigned 5'9" ZEKE FLEXLITE-HYPER, which he had been wanting to try. Mr. E, You chose the PLACEBO "ZEKE" FLEXLITE-HYPER . He had been windsurfing for 10 years, and after switching to a longboard for about three years, he wanted to be able to ride a shortboard, so he was carefully considering what board to buy.When he saw people riding placebos at the beaches where he went surfing, he asked someone who actually rode one and heard that it was good, durable, and easy to handle, so he came to our store and purchased the newly redesigned ``ZEKE'' FLEXLITE-HYPER. Everyone! Thank you for coming to our store and purchasing so many new PLACEBO surfboards.

He entered the tournament as the number one ranked seed and also because it was a sponsored tournament, the JACKS PRO. He was ranked 10th in the world in 2018 and faced local surfer Kanoa Igarashi, who has won two consecutive US Opens at this venue, in the semi-finals, but made a huge comeback on his last ride to win and come in third place.
