I wish I could predict the movement of the waves and time it right like in Wiggly!
Luvsurf TV:LOST 『JW-DRIVER』 Wiggolly Dantas HURLEY PRO 2015 Rider: Wiggolly Dantas Board used: LOST 『JW-DRIVER』 FILM;Koji Nishii EDIT:TABRIGADE FILM In the WCT, this guy, "Wigolly," is skilled at backside turns, a favorite among experts. He is a Brazilian surfer and a rookie who just joined the World Tour in 2015, and is known for his impressive, deep lines on the tracks. Please take a look at how well he timings the return of the backside board. Make a deep turn at the bottom and get into this position on the vertical lip of the wave. Apply full weight and use all your strength to return the board. From this bent knee position, return the board without succumbing to the force of the lip. Like this "Wiggly" If you can predict the movement of the waves and time them accordingly, People are starting to say things like, "You're good!" "Try to imitate this position and timing while surfing." The amount of spray on the backside is particularly impressive. He finished 15th in the world rankings in 2015 and is a player who is expected to do well in 2016. The JW-DRIVER is a board that JW loved to ride, and it became available for custom orders in 2016. Masato also likes it and is still waiting for the new "JW-DRIVER " to be completed. Now, let's take a look at Wiggly Dantas riding the JW-DRIVER . [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/148062046[/vimeo]

Luvsurf TV: LOST MAYHEM 『V2-GRINDER』 Carissa Moore SWATCH PRO 2015 Rider: Carissa Moore Board used: LOST MAYHEM 『 V2-GRINDER』 POLYESTER FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM Learn how to do a "top turn" from a three-time world champion! A must-see for those who are not good at it! This riding video is a model for female surfers and has been well-received by Love Surf customers, who say that they can watch and imitate the surfing that men do, which is far beyond their level. Learn how to do a top turn from newly reigning three-time World Champion Carissa Moore. You can clearly see the tail stepping on the car many times. Notice how the hind legs are stepping on the tail and the front legs are stretched out. This action pushes the tail into the wave, pivoting the board and causing it to turn. The type of turn will change depending on when you perform it at the top. Start stepping on the tail with your hind legs early, from the inside of the swell. Cut back or If you "step on the tail with your back foot" and turn the board quickly on the steep part of the wave, Slash turn! Even on whitewater, if you "step on the tail with your hind feet" it becomes a roller coaster! If you "step on the tail with your back foot" in this lower position of the powerful curl, It's a 360 degree reverse turn. All of these are the same action of "stepping on the tail with the hind legs." Once this Carissa Moore system is in place, You'll be amazed at how well you can do top turns! Give it a try the next time you go surfing! Now, let's take a look at Carissa's exemplary riding. This video is a compilation of riding from when I won SWATCH PRO 2015. The board I ride is the ``V2-GRINDER.'' (It's so popular that the stock boards are sold out.) https://vimeo.com/148061866

Luvsurf TV: LOST 5'4" "BEAN BAG" Hiroki Shirakawa Daiki Shirakawa Rider: Hiroki Shirakawa Board used: LOST 5'4" "BEAN BAG" POLYESTER FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM The BEAN BAG is one of the LOST surfboard models. This is the shortest, widest, and thickest board size model. The bottom of the BEAN BAG has a very strong VEE bottom from the center of the board to the tail. So this "BEAN BAG" is perfect for flat, mushy waves, small, weak waves, The board tends to tip over, the rails get into the waves, and you can make hard turns. The reason a board this wide can move so easily is because half of the board is a vee bottom. The BEAN BAG has good initial acceleration after taking off, It runs well and picks up speed so you can glide through the waves! Because it's short, it's great for super small waves, but once you get used to it you'll be able to ride it overhead too, so try riding it when there's a good size and amaze everyone around you. Yesterday, a report was received from an " ordinary old man." He rode the BEAN BAG on chest-to-head waves, breaking the record for the most waves caught in one round. He caught 24 waves, and praised the BEAN BAG 's excellent wave-catching ability! Now, please take a look at the riding video of Hiroki riding the BEAN BAG . https://vimeo.com/151757134

This board is designed for high performance surfing. As the name suggests, this board allows you to perform tricks such as rocketing out of the pockets of the waves. The pocket is the most powerful and hollow section of the wave. The tail is thin and narrow, so you can surf while keeping the pocket even when the waves are powerful. You can step on the tail and sink down to create a sharp track. Kolohe also showed off the board's unique performance by pulling off a world-class combination of coming out of the tube and immediately doing an air reverse. If you want to turn in the pocket and jump out like Kolohe, Please take a ride on this "POCKET ROCKET"! Introducing a super high performance board that not only competitors but anyone who wants to try high performance surfing will want to ride! This model is a TEAM specification and comes with an extremely lightweight POLY stockboard! Expected arrival date is from March onwards!

Please come and surf in the ocean first thing in the morning and invite everyone to come! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOST『Pocket Rocket』Kolohe Andino The Pocket Rocket is the best model we've worked on to date with Kolohe Andino and many of his WSL riders. After a stellar start to the 2015 WQS (winning the Austrian Open), Kolohe's momentum was on full display by mid-season. We were ready to try a different outline. Our LOST crew analyzed his video and tuned him to how he wanted to adjust his approach and what he wanted from the board to help with that movement. I was testing the potential of a rounded outline, which I've offered to other WSL riders. That model, called WLG, is a secret templet that I've seen positive feedback from many of our team riders over the past year. The board's moderate rocker is very smooth without any twists or bumps. I designed it with more rocker curve in the middle of the board than usual (and less at the tip). I knew Kolohe, accustomed to boards with more rocker throughout the board, would need the speed and control to make tight, radical turns in the pocket of the wave without losing speed or drive. While maintaining ample rail rocker, he's added a concave to the stringer line between his feet, extending it all the way down the back third of the board. This is designed for more lift and speed when diving deeper. The whole board is packed with features that allow for radical high performance in the power pockets of the wave. I wrote "Pocket Rocket" on the board (5'11" 18.75" 2.32" 27.05cl.). He took it to Europe, rode it in the quarterfinals of the Azore WQS 10,000, and then won the Cascais Pro-WQS 10,000 a week later. After winning a few heats, he emailed me, "Pocket Rocket!" We felt the Pocket Rocket was a success, and next up was the QuickPro-France WCT. Kolohe beat King Kelly on the same board. We were in France with him that week, and we knew this was the board for surfers looking for a modern, high-performance board built with competitor feedback. The performance of our latest shortboard, Kolohe, proved that. Kolohe has always preferred boards with built-in drive and a little more surface area and volume, so we don't think this design is super pro, but it's not extreme by any means. The deep concave and rounded rail rocker give it lift and pop, even in small, weak waves. The broad, conservative rocker and outline give it confidence in very powerful waves. It's also great for high-performance surfing in small, fast beach breaks and moves well in chest-to-1.5 overhead waves. This is our latest high-performance shortboard model for 2016.
