Report! Maria Ward arrived in Japan during the typhoon!
Maria Ward arrived in Japan from Hawaii during a typhoon. 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. In the heavy rain of a typhoon, carrying four bags and a case with five boards, He said it was difficult to travel alone by train from Kansai Airport to the hotel. I've been traveling the world since I was little with my dad, Chris Ward. I'm used to traveling and can handle this kind of trouble without any problems. My dad will look for a hotel after arriving at the destination, Apparently, I have to be careful because airline connection dates and times are all messed up. We have already started practicing at the competition venue, Kamogawa Marquis Point. The board I'm riding is called "DRIVER." The board size is 5'8" PRO dimensions. In addition to his work as a professional surfer, She has also appeared in APPLE and GAP magazines, and is active as a model in LA. Maria Ward's match will start tomorrow, the 27th (Friday), He is credited with four heats in Round 1. Yesterday, in the rain and strong offshore winds, "Marcy Callaghan" and I had a session with Anon who had just returned from Hawaii.
Learn moreKei Kobayashi arrives in Brazil and sneaks into the FU WAX factory!
In order to participate in the upcoming WSL/QS event in Brazil, "Kay Kobayashi" has arrived in Brazil. And then there's Brazilian surfing legend Hu. We received some photos of us sneaking into the "FU WAX" factory. We would like to introduce it to you all. Apparently, he helped pour the "FU WAX" into the mold. In this way, the ingredients are mixed and poured into a mold. You can see that everything is handmade. The number of pieces produced each year is limited, and it is made using a secret recipe that only Mr. Fu can make. Since it's handmade, it's unlikely to reach every surfer in the world! Apparently, Kay then immediately had a session with Mr. Hu's son, Gee! Please also support the QS1500 contest in Brazil, which starts on the 26th!
Learn moreNishii highly recommends these fins for the RNF-REDUX and GOBLIN!
Nishii's favorite board "RNF-REDUX" I tried out various fins on the Goblin, Our most recommended fin is this "MR TWIN+STB fin." Any other fins can be used to take advantage of the characteristics of the fins, Compared to TRI and QUAD, it's the fastest and easiest to turn the board. Small waves are the best, but even larger overhead waves are no problem! If you own the RNF-REDUX and GOBLIN models, we recommend you try them out. You'll understand why Nishii says, "You'll gain speed and be able to turn the board with ease" when you experience it for yourself!

Recently I've been commuting to work by electric bike. He is also a father of four children, three daughters and one son.

This is a report on the 30th anniversary Southern California Japanese Surf Contest. At Trestles Church in San Clemente, California The Southern California Japanese Surf Contest, with Love Surf as the main sponsor, was held. The waves were extremely small, about 1-3 feet (knee-high to waist-high), in the San Clemente area of California, about three weeks after the WSL tournament ended. The swells started coming in two days ago, and the set was held in double over waves. This historic tournament, now in its 30th year, saw over 150 entries. There are only three surf contests a year at Trestles. This is a rare surf contest where you can hold a surf contest in the best wave quality. There was wind and the conditions were tough for some classes, but we were able to see some great performances. Some people from Japan have adjusted their time off work to take part in this surf contest. It's increasing every year. There will also be a LOST surfboard test ride booth! SHAW KOBAYAHSI Why not try participating next year too?

Mayhem is heading to Europe on Friday night in California, so I'll be holed up in the shaping room with him for the week. We had them create a new Japan-exclusive model proposal. The "Dolphin Grab Rail" is an essential feature for the Japan-only model. Of course I asked to have it installed. This is a photo taken by MAYHEM when he finished shaping the LOST " GOBLIN " PRO-Formance model, which is currently about to arrive at Love Surf. The beautiful and artistic combination of the elevator wing and R2-Channel is well expressed. MAYHEM also posted a photo of just the form on his Instagram. Nishii has been working on this newly completed I was riding the LOST " RNF-REDUX " CARBON WRAP. When my knees and hips continued to get bigger, I bought this LOST "GOBLIN" PRO-Formance model. I've been riding it for two weeks straight, The waves have gotten a little bigger over the past few days, reaching waist height, so I switched to LOST's RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP. The wave size is forecast to increase rapidly from this weekend, so I'll probably be riding the LOST 5'7" SUB-DRIVER BRO or 5'8" DRIVER BRO PRO-Formance models. You can enjoy surfing even more by changing your board to suit the size and quality of the waves! Get as many boards as possible to make surfing fun and ride the waves to your heart's content!
