Here's a report from Nishii's LOST Surfboards factory, which has been in San Clemente since last week. This is a photo of the AKU machine set up to cut the Arctic Foam. The green laser is aimed at the center stringer, and the center is adjusted to ensure it is not misaligned. Alyssa Quizon came to Mayhem to visit. She seemed pretty disappointed that she had dropped out of the World Title this year. So now she's been training seriously and losing weight. Her previous boards were too thick and didn't have the right buoyancy, so she came all the way from Hawaii to Mayhem to ask for advice. She ordered the Driver and Pocket Rocket . This photo shows the process of applying a carbon band to a custom-ordered board featuring our patented "Carbon Wrap" technology, which transforms the high resilience of EPS foam into even more speed and response. The board has not yet been glassed. This was returned to Mayhem for a refill order. Griffin Colapinto's magic board. On the left is " DRIVER " and on the right is " POCKET ROCKET ". This is the blank of DIABLO-X before it is glassed. The shape design of the tail, wing and grab rail can be clearly seen in the Shape Room light. The holes in the bottom for the FCSII fin plugs look like this before they are glassed and the FCSII fin plugs are installed. The DIABLO-X center stringer POLY boards sold out in a flash, and we are now accepting pre-orders! Please take a look here!

Mr. A, You have chosen PLACEBO " GOBLIN-SPRIT " FLEXLITE-LIMITED. He came to our shop because he wanted to get his hands on the limited edition FLEXLITE-LIMITED version of the newly updated "GOBLIN-SPRIT" with two channels, as the LIMITED version was sold out last year. He was very pleased to see that the MAYHEM logo had been updated to white. Mr. B, You have selected the PLACEBO " RE-LOADED " FLEXLITE-LIMITED. He had been riding longboards for about 10 years, but had always wanted to ride a shortboard, so when he heard about the new RE-LOADED model, he called us several times to ask for advice. He came to our store to buy the FLEXLITE-HYPER model, but he decided to buy the limited edition LIMITED model while it was still available, as it had a different material and looked more luxurious. Mr. C said, You have chosen PLACEBO " EL-DIABLO PLUS " FLEXLITE-LIMITED. He currently rides a mid-volume board, but came to our store wanting to try out the EL-DIABLO PLUS, which is also a mid-volume board and has a reputation for being fast and maneuverable. He was captivated by the limited edition model, which is hard to find anywhere else, and made an immediate decision. Mr. D, PLACEBO 5'6" " GOBLIN-SPRINT " FLEXLITE-HYPER was selected. He returned from a break last summer with the LOST "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" and has been getting better and better, so he purchased this board to enable more vertical movement in surfing and make it even more fun. The highly rated "GOBLIN" board has been updated to the "GOBLIN-SPRINT," so he was pleased that the purchase came at a good time. Mr. E, PLACEBO 5'4" " GOBLIN-SPRINT " FLEXLITE-HYPER was selected. He was looking for a board to replace his old PLACEBO model, the LAYZ ORCA. He had been considering the "GOBLIN" because it had a similar high buoyancy and a more versatile design, but when he saw that the "GOBLIN-SPRINT" had been updated with two channels, he decided to purchase it. Everyone! Come visit us! Lots! Thank you for purchasing our new PLACEBO surfboard!

Luvsurf TV: LOST 『 POCKET ROCKET 』 Pro-Formance series Masato Yukawa Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST " POCKET ROCKET " Pro-Formance series FILM & EDIT: KOTA KUMAZAWA "Yukawa Masato" is the rocker in the LOST performance series, This is a riding video of the sharply outlined, slim and narrow " POCKET ROCKET ." As the model name suggests, " POCKET ROCKET " is a surfboard that is perfect for surfing in the power zone of the waves. This model allows you to surf while keeping your pockets open. Kolohe and Mayhem have been working on DRIVER for many years. It has been developed through repeated fine-tuning, with an emphasis on being able to perform tricks in deeper wave sections. In this riding video, you can see a lot of backside action, You can see the wave pocket rising vertically from the bottom at a steep angle. The wave quality that is best suited to riding the " POCKET ROCKET " is not the size of the wave, but rather, It's ideal for situations where the waves have hollow sections. For example, shallow shore or reef breaks with knee-high waves, or fast breaks where the waves dig in from the takeoff and you have to run sideways immediately after takeoff to get out. The Pocket Rocket is also suitable for slimmer riders, kids, and women, so we recommend it. Now, please take a look at this riding video, all filmed on the waves of eastern Taiwan.

The RNF-RETRO is a fun, easy-to-ride board that is suitable for surfers of all levels. Beginner to average level surfers should choose a longer and larger board size. If you are an expert level surfer, choose a shorter length that you have never ridden before and ride it. You can ride this RNF-RETRO model to its full potential. Its retro design hides a level of performance you wouldn't expect, It can easily do air and intense lip strokes, We place importance on riding with graceful and beautiful lines. This model is suitable for adult surfers as well. It's wide and short so it's great for powerless waves, The fin position can be adjusted to allow riding with either QUAD or TWIN fins. The fins are designed to stand further back than normal. This board has good speed performance even in small waves, so it allows you to surf without difficulty in conditions such as weak wind waves after an onshore wind blows, or small waves where only the top breaks slowly. The RNF-RETRO is a short 5'2" long bike . Check out Masato's surfing, where he adds accents to the flowing lines. Unlike typical retro twins, which only run sideways and have a tail that is too wide, Masato proves that he can move both vertically and horizontally!
