New Luvsurf TV release! LOST 『FORMULA-1』 Coco Ho WSL Kamogawa QS 3,000 / 2017
Luvsurf TV: LOST 『FORMULA-1』 COCO HO Rider: COCO HO Board used: LOST "FORMULA-1" EPS MARKO FILM: KOJI NISHII EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM In October 2017, at the WSL/QS3,000 contest held at Kamogawa Maruki Point, This is a collection of riding videos of "Coco Ho" riding the "FORMULA-1" model. The FORMULA-1 model is also known as the Coco model because Coco likes to ride it. During this three-day event, most of the other surfers were aiming for regular waves, "Coco Ho" also had a lot of goofy waves. Coco's riding here is very exemplary, as she stays calm, watches the waves, makes decisions and rides accordingly. Coco-chan has a stylish and beautiful surfing style. During the competition, he showed calm and focused surfing. Coco-chan handled the tricky breaks and the inevitable backwash at Kamogawa Maruki, a surf spot we regularly visit, where the water is shallow offshore and deep in the foreshore, with her fantastic surfing, coming in first in all heats for a perfect victory. This is his third win in the 2017 QS Series. This board uses a MARKO wood center stringer with EPS foam. He also rode an EPS epoxy board here at Kamogawa Marquis last year, and he said that the waves here are mushy on the outside, but when you come to the inside they suddenly become shallow and dig in, so you need to keep up the speed all the time, and that's why he rides this EPS epoxy board because it's faster than POLY. This MARKO EPS foam is the same EPS foam used in CARBON WRAP. Due to the typhoon, heavy rain and strong offshore winds prevented filming on the final day, so footage of the semi-final and final is not included, but the final day proved that MARKO EPS foam can be ridden without any problems even offshore. This special board made with MARKO EPS foam can be custom-made to order. The price is 30,000 yen (excluding tax) above the price of a POLY board. It is recommended for those who want to ride a center-stringer EPS epoxy-rebound board that is lightweight yet has a ride feel similar to a POLY board. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/242060482[/vimeo]

Mr. A, LOST 5'10" chose "DOS-DIABLO" BLACK DART . He had taken a break from surfing for about five years. He had been using his old board again, but when he went to the beach, other surfers on boards with more buoyancy kept taking the waves, so he came to our shop looking for a board with the latest design from a reliable brand that had more buoyancy and would make each surfing experience more enjoyable. Mr. B, LOST 5'10" chose the "V3-STEALTH" CARBON WRAP . Since he travels abroad frequently, he chose this board as it was suitable for both reef breaks and beaches. After comparing it with the Polyester "DIABLO-SPARTAN" CARBON WRAP model, he decided to purchase the "V3-STEALTH" which has a narrower nose outline. Mr. C said, LOST 5'5" chose the RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP . He had ridden the original RNF model about 20 years ago, and now that this great board has been revived, he has been wanting to try out the CARBON WRAP, so he decided to purchase it. Mr. D, LOST 5'8" 『RNF-REDUX』 CARBON WRAP and He chose two boards at the same time : the PLACEBO 5'4" 'GOBLIN' and the FLEXLITE-HYPER . He will be using the RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP as his main board and the Goblin FLEXLITE-HYPER for riding in smaller waves. He often checks out Lovesurf's website, and after watching the riding videos of each model, he was able to imagine what it would be like to ride them, which was the deciding factor in his purchase. Everyone, please come and visit us! Thank you for purchasing so many ``LOST & PLACEBO new surfboards''!
Learn moreWe would like to introduce the athletes who rode the "LOST surfboard" at the WSL Kamogawa QS3000.
Her name is Kailani Johnston and she is an entry from Indonesia. I live in Bali. This was my first time in Japan and I came with my father. Her name is Leila Rikoabno and she is 15 years old. I'm a Hawaiian and a disciple of "Coco Ho." I'm a Roxy rider. He won the synchronized surfing exhibition event at this tournament and received a prize of 100,000 yen. He came with his foreign father, but his mother is Japanese, so he can speak Japanese. Actually, it seems that he is not a LOST rider but a rider of another board. Apparently, he rides LOST because it's in much better condition. She's a "Tia Bronco" vegan. She was so cute that there were a lot of older men at the venue wanting to take photos with her. He's good at backside surfing, Even in contests, I mostly chose to ride waves going towards the backside. Many other people who weren't part of the team were also using LOST boards like this. To win a contest, you absolutely need a board that's fast, moves the way you want it to, and is in good condition . It's like a car race; you can't win unless your machine is better than the others.

I was supposed to arrive at Haneda on Sunday, Due to the effects of the recent Typhoon No. 21, after arriving at Kansai Airport, my flight to Haneda was canceled, so the airline booked me a hotel in Osaka city, where I stayed for one night, and arrived at Haneda on Monday.
