Over 100 people participated! This is a report on the test ride event held yesterday, June 24th (Sat) at Shonan Kugenuma Beach.
We have prepared LOST and PLACEBO boards. A popular model of the hugely popular LOST "CARBON WRAP" ! As soon as the test drive started, many people came to the tent. Yuji, the staff member, is busy doing everything he can. We also have two limited edition PLACEBO " GOBLIN " FLEXLITE-LIMITEDs! Nishii's magic board, which was a big hit on Simeloo Island the previous day, PLACEBO 5'8" " EL-DIABLO PLUS " FLEXLITE-HYPER, After riding the test board, he immediately placed an order for the same board! thank you! A couple test drives the LOST "CARBON WRAP ". Here's what yesterday's event looked like from afar. The LOST and PLACEBO flags really stand out! Everyone tried out many boards other than the ones they were looking for. LOST " V3-STEALTH " CARBON WRAP This is also a popular model! The waves were small, so the Goblin 's paddle and take-off performance was on full display. We also have the RNF-REDUX carbon wrap model available, as production is running out. The LOST V3-STEALTH model is easier to ride than it looks. Based on the ROCKET model, it has less rocker and is suitable for women as well. " GOBLIN " is the most popular model in this area. I would like to try out LOST's ``CARBON WRAP'' as it is rumored to be easy to ride even for people who usually ride POLY. I'm sure there was no one who didn't take a test drive of " GOBLIN " yesterday? LOST "CARBON WRAP" is available in various sizes and models. There were a lot of people who only rode LOST's "CARBON WRAP ." Even if you are a petite lady who is not good at wide and short boards, PLACEBO 5'8" ' EL-DIABLO PLUS ' FLEXLITE-HYPER is perfect! The waves were knee-high, but because they lacked size and power, The waves clearly showed the board's take-off performance. We also had them try out the familiar "FU WAX." Other waxes fall apart in the heat, What's amazing about "FU WAX" is that it's easy to ride even on the hottest days of summer! This LOST " V3-STEALTH " CARBON WRAP model is also popular because it looks cool! These couples are different sizes, PLACEBO took a test drive of the EL-DIABLO PLUS FLEXLITE-HYPER. They're already on LOST and PLACEBO. Many heavy users also participated! Nishii is holding a LOST " BABY BUGGY" CARBON WRAP. The LOST "CARBON WRAP" is a board with a carbon wrap around the bottom, which allows the rear fin to tail section to flex extra after the entire board has flexed, giving the board extra speed as if it were alive!

Mr. A He chose the LOST " V3-STEALTH " CARBON WRAP. He rides a Lost "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model and is well aware of the quality of MAYHEM design. This time, he came to our store with his sights set on the cutting-edge, highest performance material, "CARBON WRAP." He was torn between the "V3-STEALTH" and the "RNF-REDUX" until the very end, but he thought, "If it works well, I don't mind buying both!" So he chose the "V3-STEALTH" first. Mr. B He chose the LOST " V3-STEALTH " CARBON WRAP. Just the other day, a customer purchased the LOST "BABY BUGGY" CARBON WRAP board. He said the LOST Carbon Wrap was in great condition. He was curious about the 4-channel LOST Carbon Wrap, so he came to our store to see it in person and made an immediate decision. Mr. C He chose the LOST " DIABLO SPARTAN " CARBON WRAP. A family member owned a TABLET 6'0", so the customer came to the store to purchase a PLACEBO EL-DIABLO PLUS 5'10", which would give them an even more agile riding feel and allow them to move more easily on the waves. However, the board was out of stock, so they consulted with us and suggested it to us. They liked the board so much that they purchased the LOST SPARTAN CARBON WRAP. Mr. D He chose the LOST " RNF-REDUX " CARBON WRAP. He came to our shop after being introduced by a senior veteran surfer. He chose the LOST RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP as a board that he could continue to keep and enjoy riding, even if he improves and buys another board. He told us about the boards he has ridden before and his level, and we recommended the 5'8" size. Mr. E, He chose the LOST " RNF-REDUX " CARBON WRAP. This customer currently uses the PLACEBO "GOBLIN" model. This time, he purchased an additional board so that he could use it even when the waves get bigger. It's a LOST/MAYHEM masterpiece, and on the Love Surf website, he saw that Nishii was one of the boards that he highly recommended, so he was very interested in the LOST "RNF-REDUX" CARBON WRAP. Everyone! Come visit us! Lots! Thank you for purchasing our new "LOST Carbon Wrap" !

Mr. A, PLACEBO "EL-DIABLO PLUS" FLEXLITE-HYPER was selected. He currently rides a CONQUEST EL-DIABLO, and for his next bike he chose the EL-DIABLO PLUS, which has been improved in all areas and is our top recommendation. When he last switched from the TABLET II to the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO, he felt a great improvement, so he said he was really looking forward to the improved performance of the EL-DIABLO PLUS. Mr. B, PLACEBO's "CQ EL-DIABLO" FLEXLITE-PROTO was selected. He had been using the "SHORT ROUND" but hadn't surfed for a while, so he came to our shop to ask for advice, wanting a board with a little more buoyancy. He also considered the "GOBLIN," but decided to purchase the "CQ EL-DIABLO" as he wanted a more all-around board that could be ridden on its own. (This board was a prototype produced during the development of the FLEXLITE-LIMITED.) Mr. C said, You have chosen PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-LIMITED. He purchased this board to replace the buoyant 6'2" board he had been using until now. His surfing skills have improved dramatically recently, so he was looking for a board that was maneuverable, not heavy to handle, and easy to handle, and he had looked closely at the Luvsurf website before considering it. Mr. D, PLACEBO "EL-DIABLO PLUS" FLEXLITE-HYPER was selected. He chose the PLACEBO because he wanted to enjoy riding more waves than the people around him and to have more fun than ever before. He also prioritized the speed of paddling and takeoff. He also chose the PLACEBO because it won't get sunburned or yellow, and will keep its beautiful color for a long time. Mr. E, You have chosen PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-LIMITED. He came to our shop to ask for advice, as it had been five years since he last surfed, and he was considering a new board to get back into surfing. He had been using longer boards up until now, but with the recent advances in performance, he wanted a shorter board that was easier to ride, and so he chose the Goblin FLEXLITE-LIMITED. He's a surfer over 50, just like Nishii, so we wish him the best! Everyone! Come visit us! Thank you for purchasing so many new PLACEBO surfboards!

Learn moreWe will introduce three surfs we did at four surf spots on Simeulue Island.
In yesterday's blog, I mentioned that I was on Simeloo Island in the Sumatra archipelago in Indonesia for an interview with Surf Trip Journal magazine, but the only day I was able to surf during the 10-day trip was yesterday, and filming ended there. Since it takes two days to get there and back, I'm currently updating this blog from Medan, Indonesia. Nishii brought three boards with him to Simeulu Island this time. I surfed at four different surf spots, and I'd like to introduce three of them. LOST 5'5" "RNF-REDUX" CARBON WRAP This board is the one I have surfed the most, called "DLYANS". I rode only on the light break. This is a reef break with a lot of power. The set includes hollow barrel waves and lip-bulb waves. It was the wave quality. I rode the smaller waves, from chest-sized to overhead size. Regardless of the size, the takeoff is fast and the speed is easy to pick up, so I was able to easily get through the fast-breaking waves and surf comfortably. I rode both the QUAD and TRI, but Nishii felt that the QUAD was faster and looser, which allowed me to ride better. PLACEBO 5'8" "EL-DIBALO PLUS" FLEXLITE-HYPER This board is a combination of the overhead size "DLYANS" and I rode at a point called "PEAK." At DLYANS, I rode it hoping to gain an advantage in catching waves when joining other groups, but it also felt amazing on Indonesian reef breaks. The paddle and takeoff speeds are self-explanatory, as anyone who's ridden it knows them. Even on deep reef breaks, it had good maneuverability, and the narrow tapered rear from the EVW wing provided excellent lip action and control in the barrel. I'd definitely recommend it for surf trips to places like Bali, which has many reef breaks, as well as beach breaks. PEAK, the point where the biggest waves in the area are always in stable conditions, was great for riding overhead-sized waves that broke along a roughly triangular overhanging reef, a mix of right and left beach and reef waves. The R2-Channel's speed was also impressive. LOST 5'9" "POCKET ROCKET EDD" POLYESTER I rode this board on a 40-minute surf trip to a spot called "TEA BAGS" on a remote island. I had heard that "TEA BAGS" has some decent-sized waves, so I brought my longest board with me, but I ended up hitting a triple-overhead, Hawaii-level wave like Sunset. It took a long time for Nishii to hit a wave the size of a Hawaiian wave, but the board had some rocker and, being an EDD, it had plenty of buoyancy and volume, allowing him to catch the wave well and take off. The wave would probably have been better sized with a board around 6'6", but out of the three, my board choice was the best, and I was able to ride several decent-sized waves. The "POCKET ROCKET EDD" really is the perfect fit for world-class wave quality! I also rode it on one round on the final day when I surfed at a beach break in Rivermouth called "INOR," which is head-sized. The waves were hollow and fast, so I chose this shape design so I could quickly turn sideways and start sailing. He will be returning to Japan soon and coming to our store for the LOST Surfboard Fair. We will be happy to assist you! Nishii will be at Love Surf from the 22nd, so please come visit us!

Learn moreIntroducing the highly anticipated LOST "Pro-Formance Series".
LOST surfboards have been ridden by team riders for many years. Do you know which model is the high performance model? Mayhem designs a new "high performance" model every year. The first is the "DRIVER" model, which is still ridden by Kolohe Andino for men and Taylor Wright for women. There are countless others, but the "DRIVER" design continues to evolve. Next, the second one is ``SUB-DRIVER''. The SUB-DRIVER is best ridden 1-2 inches shorter than the DRIVER model, and because it is wider and has less rocker, it is better suited to less powerful or smaller waves than the DRIVER model. Many surfers were also riding it at the WSL Chiba QS6000 competition. LOST "Pro-Formance Series" is Love Surf also has stock boards in stock, If you want to ride it early, we recommend a custom order. In California, many professionals are currently riding it!

This is a Costa Rican wave hit by Doug Van Mierio of the NECK TANS team. It's a clean, sloping wave with a nice size. He's also a LOST rider whose favorite wave is the F-1STUB. The Mexican wave was scored by Crosby Colapinto, the younger brother of Griffin Colapinto. Interesting angle from the drone. The freesurfer Luke Davis is doing airs in decent waves on a short 5'5" board. His surfboard is from LOST and his clothing is supported by RVCA. Three new boards from Ana Gonzalez. The top board says "PUDDLE FISH." The one on the left is a board with a new color design by Kolohe Andino. There are three other boards custom-ordered in the same color design as the original board, for a total of four boards lined up. The amazing KIDS surfer Eli Hanneman (left) and On the right is a photo taken when my friend Levi Young came to LOST to pick up the finished board. A BIKIN girl taking a rest on a pickup truck.

He has been riding Lost's ORCA and FISHQUEST models and has had great success with them, and he feels very confident in the easy surf model designed by MAYHEM, which is sold exclusively in Japan, so he chose the Goblin FLEXLITE-HYPER this time. He said he thinks he'll be able to share it with his son and have fun in his home town of Shonan. Mr. B, PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-HYPER was chosen. When he borrowed one from a friend and tried it out, he felt that not only was it fast in paddling and takeoff, but that it was also "incredibly fast!" He liked the overall performance of the "GOBLIN" and decided to buy the same one. Mr. C said, PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-HYPER was chosen. He mainly uses the LOST "DOS-DIABLO" BLACK DRAT, and until now he has been using the PLACEBO "FISHQUEST2" FLEXITE-TURBO model as his second board for small waves, but he has now switched to the new "GOBLIN", a model that surpasses the "FISHQUEST2" model. Mr. D, PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-HYPER was chosen.
