Learn moreToday's board on February 16th is the personal board of professional surfer Nishii, made of the popular material CARBON WRAP...
Today's board, February 16th, is the incredibly popular LOST "DIABLO-X" Carbon Wrap board, which has sold out of stock and is still receiving custom orders! This is a completely custom order, not a stock dimension. The DIABLO-X is a Japan-exclusive model created with the Japanese wave conditions and targeting Japanese surfers in mind, allowing weekend surfers and surfers in their 40s to ride more waves and perform light and nimble actions. The rocker design has been adjusted to suit Japanese waves and Japanese surfers around the age of 40, without compromising the rocker balance of the world's No. 1 model , "DRIVER." DIABLO-X is a step-up board that will help beginners to intermediate riders improve their level in a short period of time. The surfboard has a solid thickness in the center, but the deck surface is dome-shaped. The rails are thinner than the numbers suggest. Even those who are used to riding boards with point noses will feel the benefits without any discomfort, and as you can see in the image above, the take-off performance of the DIABLO-X is also unfair. It naturally works well in good waves, but it's also very strong and effective in small waves and waves with poor conditions and little power. For a more detailed explanation and amazing photos, please click here on our blog! This is a very valuable rod made from the popular material ``CARBON WRAP'' used in professional rods like Nishii's personal boards, and it comes with a red FCS II plug that is no longer available. https://vimeo.com/255244473 ↑This is a movie taken with SOLOSHOT3. [ap_show_item 4452] https://vimeo.com/254090097 ↑A rare video of MAYHEM shaping this "DIABLO-X" CARBON WRAP! The personal board used by professional golfer Nishii , the DIABLO-X CARBON WRAP, is 10,000 yen off today only! [ap_show_item 33256]
Learn moreJapan-exclusive model! The "EVIL TWIN-JP" comes with two exclusive fins and is available at a special sale price!
One surfboard can be configured with five different fins, allowing for a variety of fun experiences. "EVIL TWIN-JP". It comes with an original single fin and small center fin made by US FUTURE, so you can combine them with your existing FCS II fins and try out various fin systems right away. This Japan-exclusive model has a gentle rocker and just the right amount of volume, making it easy to surf at any skill level, from knee to head size. As you can imagine from the overall rounded, wide outline, the VEE from the single concave on the bottom is effective and allows the board to move smoothly. The elevator wing makes it easy to lean into the rail at the beginning of a turn. The rails are thin and soft, making it easy to get into the rails, and the round tail makes it easy to switch from rail to rail. The 80's retro rail logo on the rail, which is only used in the retro series, is cool! https://vimeo.com/327952806 https://vimeo.com/319696848 There's very little left! If you're interested, make your decision quickly! [ap_show_item 15526] [ap_show_item 34868]
Learn moreCheck out the ROCKET REDUX model that everyone wants to ride in 2020!
This model has been reissued with a modern shape element, allowing the surfer to accelerate like a ROCKET when they stand up, reach high speeds, and ride the waves aggressively, cutting through them. More than 10 years ago, before mass media dominated the surf market, there was LOST's "ROCKET" before Sci-Fi, Ghost and Monster. This was a time before our brains were infected with fake news, hoaxes, and stealth marketing. LOST's "ROCKET" has become an iconic mini board in the surfing world through word of mouth! More than 10 years after its original release, LOST has brought the ROCKET back to life for you to ride! Redesigned by MAYHEM for a new generation and nostalgic generations alike, it's the ROCKET REDUX ! While retaining elements of the magical performance of the original Rocket design, the extended tail radius and added entry rocker allow for instant down-the-line action and playful turns. The deep concave created by the rail rocker, combined with the straight center stringer line, gives you the lift and liveliness that is unique to the ROCKET design. The wide tail and parallel outline provide bullet-like speed and plenty of hold. The Rocket Tail provides stability and aids back foot entry and control. The new Rocket Redux stays true to the original Rocket design, but we've updated what we've learned by adjusting the rail shape and rocker curve to deliver even more serious performance. Fast, precise, playful, and fun to ride, the Rocket Redux is not only fast to paddle and easy to ride, it's also great for speeding and turning in the pocket every day. It doesn't have to be a good wave, just a good board that's fun for everyone. Currently, LOST team riders are very fond of it and have been posting photos and videos of them riding it on social media and surfing websites around the world, creating a huge buzz. Even if you're not a LOST rider, everyone wants to own and ride it! The latest model is the "ROCKET REDUX."
