Check out the unreleased photos from 24's blog of "LOST Surfboard"!
The carbon bottom makes it pop up even more. The rider of the new LOST POLY spec is Kedi Matson. He's a promising young player from San Clemente. "Chucky" got the "RNF-REDUX" CARBON WRAP on Nishii's recommendation. What's the best LOST board you've ever ridden? From this conversation, Chucky also ended up with this board. The fins are also Nishii's recommended "MR-TWIN STUB" . (Currently sold out, but reservations are available!) Alessa Quizon is the model that LOST's DRIVER loves. He is a Billabong star rider and also serves as a swimwear model. Carving master Shane Beschen currently lives in Hawaii. This photo was taken recently in California. Brazilian surfer Alex Ribeiro has nine new boards in his car. Three of them are "DRIVER" model carbon wraps! Custom painted CARBON WRAP board. We can also make boards like this for you if you order them custom! This is Coco Ho, who won the QS1500 held in France last weekend. Second place went to Mauda Le Car from France, riding a blue-numbered LOST MAYHEM board. This is Corey Lopez, an original LOST team rider. He currently runs a surf shop in his hometown of Florida. LOST "PUDDLE FISH" painted by Brazilian artist Polyzar FISH art on a FISH board. Kolohe Andino is preparing for the Harley Pro, which is scheduled to start on September 6th. He has his juniors masking the boards so they can be painted. Nishii will also be heading to the site soon to report on the Harley Pro. Stay tuned!
Learn moreNew Luvsurf TV release! LOST's new "Driver" Griffin Colapinto at the 2017 US Open
Luvsurf TV: LOST "DRIVER" Griffin Colapinto US OPEN 2017 Rider: Griffin Colapinto Board used: LOST 『DRIVER』 POLYESTER FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a riding video of Griffin Colapinto, who is said to be joining the WCT in 2018, filmed at the US Open held in Huntington Beach in 2017. The board Griffin is riding is the latest new "Driver" model, re-released by LOST in 2017. This model is LOST's ultimate high-performance board. Julian Wilson has even won a race here in Huntington Beach in the past riding this "Driver" model. Griffin showed off his signature high performance surfing at the US Open, delivering impressive airs on both the outside and inside close-out sections. What we want you to pay close attention to is that this "DRIVER" model is also excellent at hopping the board from outside to inside, a style unique to Huntington Beach. In particular, the last ride shows the board taking off from the swell and then riding the wave, showing that this ``DRIVER'' model is a board that floats up and picks up speed from the time it takes off before riding. The BRO Dimension is a friendly size with better paddle speed, so it's recommended for older guys! Now, please watch the video. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/231175556[/vimeo]
Learn moreEveryone! Thank you for visiting our store and purchasing the new "PLACEBO" FLEXLITE-LIMITED!
Mr. A, You chose the PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-LIMTED. He recently got back into surfing after a two-year hiatus. He's been practicing on a slightly shorter board, but after carefully reading the model guide for the PLACEBO EL-DIABLO PLUS, he decided it was the perfect model for him! He came to our shop. He was debating between the HYPER and LIMITED, but decided to go with the LIMITED, which is only available now. Mr. B, You chose the PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-LIMTED. He came to our shop to ask for advice because his current Presebo Rocket model had little buoyancy, and his other UberFish was too long and difficult to handle. He wanted to address the issues with both boards, so he decided to get this Goblin Flexlite-Limited board. Mr. C said, He chose the PLACEBO 5'6" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-LIMTED. The other day, he purchased a 5'8" Goblin FLEXLITE-HYPER board in a different size but made from a different material, but it turned out to be too big, so he decided to try the smaller 5'6" FLEXLITE-LIMTED board, a limited edition model. He liked the bottom surface, saying it looked cool and resembled a POLY board or CARBON WARP. Mr. D, PLACEBO 5'8" 'EL-DIABLO PLUS' FLEXLITE-LIMTED was selected. He owns a variety of boards from LOST and PLACEBO and enjoys surfing on his days off. He said he had wanted this board for a while. He was considering the older model "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO," but decided that if he wanted to ride for a long time, he wanted the latest, highest quality limited edition board, so he went for this LIMITED model. He was very happy with his new board. Everyone! Come visit us! Thank you for purchasing the new "PLACEBO FLEXLITE-LIMITED"! Only 50 units of the PLACEBO " EL-DIABLO PLUS " model will be produced and sold. The 5'10" size of the " FLEXLITE-LIMITED " is sold out. Currently only a few other sizes available! Please consider purchasing the EL-DIABLO PLUS FLEXLITE-LIMITED specification as soon as possible! The FLEXLITE-LIMITED version of "GOBLIN" has sold out!

Learn moreLove Surf is also a favorite of JPSA Grand Champions.
Before going to the 4th round of the JPSA, which was held in Niijima yesterday and today, The person who came to Love Surf was JPSA Grand Champion professional golfer Arashi Kato. I was riding in the tournament to win the Grand Champion title on the 2016 JPSA Tour, I think some of you may already know, Professional surfer Kato Arashi uses LOST surfboards. I usually make boards to custom order, The board I chose from the stock boards is the new POLY specification of the popular PRO performance series . 5'9" "DRIVER" PRO dimension . This time we have the completed 5'9" custom order board " BABY BUGGY " and I went to Niijima's match with two 5'9" DRIVER boards that I had chosen from my stock boards. The Surfing Life magazine that is currently on sale is so popular that production cannot keep up. LOST's "RNF-REDUX" also appears in the paper on CARBON WRAP . Please take a look at that as well. Another JPSA pro, Kaisa Kawamura, has also been using many LOST surfboards recently. The photo shows her at the WSL/QS6000 Chiba Pro in May, and the model is the V2-GRINDER . It seems that both of them advanced to the semi-finals in Niijima's match and finished in 5th place.
Learn moreThe last LOST hidden model "EZ-UP" stockboard is here!
Mr. A, He chose the LOST "EZ-UP" POLYESTER model. This person has just started surfing. Until now, he had been practicing by borrowing a friend's board, but his friend strongly recommended the LOST EZ-UP model, saying that even beginners can improve their skills and have fun with it, so he decided to buy it. As this was his first board, he was very happy. Mr. B, He chose the LOST "EZ-UP" model. Until recently, he had been riding high-performance boards, but recently he has gained weight rapidly and is no longer able to ride any of the boards he owns. He plans to gradually lose weight, but first, he has purchased the LOST EZ-UP model, which has high buoyancy and seems super easy to ride, as a practice board to help him remember the feeling of surfing. Mr. C said, He chose the LOST "EZ-UP" model. This surfer is about to start surfing. He wanted to start by focusing on quickly and perfectly mastering how to stand up on a wave, so he chose the EZ-UP, the most stable board from LOST. He said he wants to ride lots of waves on the EZ-UP and improve quickly, and then think about his next board. What a smart choice for a beginner! Thank you for purchasing the hidden model "EZ-UP"! "EZ-UP" is perfect for those who are just starting out in surfing, Recommended for those who have gained a lot of weight and are looking to get back into surfing.

Learn morePlease take a look at the unpublished photos from Nishii's trip to Simeloo Island, Indonesia, in STJ magazine.
Please take a look at the unpublished photos from Nishii's trip to Simeloo Island, Indonesia, in STJ magazine. The third photo was used in an advertisement for LOST surfboards ' "RNF-REDUX." These are the two sequence photos before that. I had them take a photo of me making a nice carving turn at high speed. Photographer Kenyu is amazing, as you'd expect, as he included the green in the foreground. Even MAYHEM said it was a great photo! This photo shows him returning to the boat after a session in the big waves that was featured prominently on two pages of the spread. He was the last one left out in the ocean, and it was a bit difficult to find the outboard takeoff position, but he had just finished the last wave and returned safely. The board he was riding was a 5'9" LOST POCKET ROCKET EDD size POLY. This is Nishii in the living room of the cottage where we were staying, probably checking emails on his MacBook. The internet connection is congested during the day and extremely slow, but there were days when it was normally usable in the early morning when it was still dark. About one in three days there were days when the entire town was unusable. We live on an island in a remote part of Indonesia, so life there is very different to that in Japan. The third photo was also used in the STJ magazine. These are the two sequence photos before that. These photos were taken at dusk. Sharp photos on a clear day are good, but I've always loved surf photos taken at this time of day when the colors are more abundant. This is the moment when I parked my car, took my surfboard off the roof, and got ready to go surfing. Instead of parking, I parked in the shade of a palm tree. This is the second photo from the Inner Barrel Shot published in SURF TRIP magazine. The barrel flies further forward in this photo, making this a better surf shot, but the first published photo shows the shore, so SURF TRIP magazine decided to publish that first photo. The board being ridden in this photo is a 5'8" PLACEBO EL-DIBALO PLUS FLEXLTE-HYPER. I posted this on Nishii's Instagram, but it was a day when I was surfing late at Durians, the spot where I surf the most, and the sunset was beautiful. The sky is the colour that is unique to Indonesia. It's hard to tell because it's a silhouette, but the board I'm holding is a 5'8" PLACEBO EL-DIBALO PLUS FLEXLTE-HYPER. The 5'8" PLACEBO 'EL-DIBALO PLUS' FLEXLTE-HYPER is a great all-around board! The Surf Trip magazine in which these trips are featured has just been released. Please be sure to check it out! You can also buy it on AMAZON here!

Mr. A, He chose the PLACEBO 6'0" CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-BOOST. He had been so busy with work for the past few years that he had no time to surf, and had given away his previous board after a few years of not surfing. This time, he was looking for a new board to get back into surfing. He had the impression that boards with a lot of buoyancy were difficult to move, so he was looking for a board from a reliable brand that was designed to be easy to move even with the buoyancy. Mr. B, PLACEBO 6'0" CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. A customer came to our shop to ask for advice about switching from a 6'6" board with good buoyancy. Rather than forcing himself to go for an extremely small size, he chose a board that suited his current level and would definitely help him improve as quickly as possible, rather than a board that he could ride even after he had improved in a few years. Mr. C said, He chose the PLACEBO 5'9" CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-BOOST. He is a PLACEBO surfboard user who currently also rides the GOBLIN. This time, he will be riding the 5'9" CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-BOOST, which has less buoyancy than his GOBLIN so that he can surf in conditions where more buoyancy is not required. Mr. D, He chose PLACEBO's CONQUEST EL-DIBALO FLEXLITE-BOOST. This petite female surfer came to our shop to switch from a longboard. Since she was going for a shortboard, she wasn't looking for a rounded nose design like a longboard, but rather a model with a pointed nose that was more suitable for a shortboard, but also stable. The CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model perfectly met her needs. She said she wanted to practice a lot on a larger 6'0" board first, and then move on to a smaller board that was more suited to her body. The DAKINE traction pads that you picked out from the store are also cute! Everyone! Come visit us! Lots! Thank you for purchasing the "PLACEBO Sale Board" ! 2016 model sold out "PLACEBO Sale Board" You can purchase it here ! There are only a few left in each size! Please consider purchasing soon!

Mr. A, You chose LOST "BEAN BAG" POLYTESTER. He added a BEAN BAG to his extensive carbon wrap collection. He has a wide selection of boards to choose from depending on the wave quality and size, and with the addition of the BEAN BAG , he said he now has an unbeatable collection that can be enjoyed in both big and small waves. Mr. B, You chose LOST "BEAN BAG" POLYTESTER. A friend of A's chose the BEAN BAG at A's recommendation because he was switching from a longboard. The BEAN BAG can be ridden very short and agilely by skilled riders, but if you choose the larger size, it is wider and has a rounded nose, making it a model that can meet the needs of those switching from longboards. Mr. C said, He chose LOST 's "BEAN BAG" POLTESTER. A friend of A's tried out the BEAN BAG that A had recently acquired and was enjoying, and liked it so much that he came to the store to get one for himself. Both are local surfers who call the Shonan Kugenuma area home, and it seems that the BEAN BAG is a perfect fit for the wave quality at Shonan's beach breaks. Mr. D, LOST "DOS DIABLO" P OLTESTER was chosen. His main requirement was that the board be easy to paddle, fast, and have a quick take-off, but he was looking for a cool-looking shortboard that wasn't really a board at all, just a wider board with a clumsy, square look and a mass of buoyancy, and he found out about the DOS DIABLO and purchased it. Mr. E, LOST "VOODOO CHILD EDD" POLTESTER was chosen. He currently owns the "DOS-DIABLO" BLACK DRAT, which has buoyancy, so he wants to ride it in small or weak waves, but also wants a board that is easy to ride and easy to use, with just the right amount of buoyancy even when the waves are good and the size is large. He compared it with the "DIABLO SPARTAN" model, but decided to also have him ride the "VOODOO CHILD EDD" , which seems to have better performance and movement than the "DOS-DIABLO". Everyone! Thank you for coming to our store and purchasing so many new LOST surfboards! Today is the last day!! You can get great deals at the LOST Summer Fair !
