Check out this video of Kolohe, Luke, and Ian riding LOST's "CARBON WRAP"!
Ride on "CARBON WRAP" scheduled for release in 2016, I found some riding videos of Kolohe, Luke and Ian, so I'd like to share them with you. Looking at the markings on the "Kolohe Andino" board, This is the 2016 model, BABY BUGGY! "Ian Crane" is a modern version of the LOST goofy footer inherited from Corey Lopez, who was active in the 90s. This is Luke Egan, who is also REEF's flagship rider. Kolohe recovers from this position. Everyone is surfing lively and having fun on "CARBON WRAP." All three riders on the Carbon Wrap are able to gain speed more easily than usual. The slogan for the Carbon Wrap board is "A board that will improve your surfing." Let's take a look at the video. https://youtu.be/VGG2fm__03M

New Luvsurf TV released! LOST 『SUB-BUGGY』Jesse Mendss Lower Oakley PRO 2015 Rider: Jesse Mendss Board used: LOST "SUB-BUGGY" FILM:Koji Nishii EDIT:TABRIGADE FILM He has a tail-based surfing style. I'm a 22 year old QS surfer from Brazil. Pay attention to the posture of the backside bottom turn with arms straight and wide. This posture is the same as balancing when walking a tightrope, By spreading your arms out, it becomes easier to maintain balance and make stable turns. In this way, your lower body and knees will be flexible. The technique of holding the snowboard with the inside of your back foot from the toes to the heel is also excellent. Instead of holding the board with the entire sole of your foot, use the inside of your foot. Now, let's take a look at Jesse riding LOST's SUB-BUGGY.

Learn moreOne-day North Shore session with "Schoenbeschen," "Nishii," and "Hiroki"
Check out the one-day North Shore session with Schoenbeschen, Nishii, and Hiroki. The other day, Nishii flew to Hawaii for the wedding of team rider Hiroki. While he had limited time, Nishii visited his old friend Schoenbeschen's house and went surfing at Ehukai, next to Pipeline. Check out the photos from that time. Nishii chose to bring only one board, After much deliberation, I chose the 5'8" SUB-BUGGY JP POLY . This board is great in any condition. The waves were good that day, coming from the right direction. As you'd expect from North Shore Hawaii, the waves were powerful and big enough that even though we went there without any prior notice, we had a great time riding some set waves with Shane's wave guidance in the ocean. Hiroki was also attending a wedding, so he could only bring one board. PLACEBO 5'10" ``CONQUEST EL-DIABLO'' FLEXLITE-BOOST selected. He made it to the inside and was going really fast. This proves that PLACEBO's FLEXLITE-BOOST can handle the waves on the North Shore of Hawaii. Shane's signature model is the LOST 5'7" ROCKET POLY. I was riding a QUAD. Shane is still off-leash. Even though I did this, for some reason the board didn't wash away, which I can only think of as a miracle. This is Shane's second son, Koda, who accompanied us. He's 10 years old and his father is Shane and his older brother is Noah. They have a skateboard bank in their backyard, and right in front of their house is the North Shore, known as the Seven Mile Miracle. I'm sure he'll become just as good as Noah. He's handsome and good-looking, so I think he'll be popular. He rode the LOST BEACH BUGGY .

LOST "BABY BUGGY" 18 years or more of nonstop surfing on the world tour, Mr. Tajibarow probably wanted to have a little fun himself. This summer, his first child is due to be born. You'll miss out on some important WSL events. Taj says, "It's a short, fun board, but still a regular high performance board. It's not even a fish board. They requested a board that was a little larger than the typical volume of the boards they had ridden on previous tours, combined the best features of various boards, and was "fast, mobile, and fun to ride." His favorite thing to do was 5'9" 18.25" 2.25" 24.50cl (TAJI dimensions) Beach Buggy Starting with the base, I improved to 5'6" 18.63" 2.25". We added volume to the rails until it stopped at 25 liters flat. And we loosened the entry rocker from the nose. The new bottom curve is It perfectly follows the original 5'9" curve. I (Mayhem) was hoping that he would be able to take the same more radical lines, even though the boards are shorter and the rail lines are much shorter. The first one was sent to Tahiti. The feedback the shapers received afterwards was the best text message they received. “This little board is ridiculous. "I just had a quick surf here on the beach in Tahiti and it drove me crazy." After that, we made several boards, fine-tuning the rail and tail thickness several times. We then gave it a name that suited Mr. Taji Burrow's current state. Every new father in any country has a new role waiting for him. Mr. Taji Burrow had a new ride waiting for him... The Baby Buggy. (The following are the board dimensions adjusted by Mayhem for Japan.) 5' 7" x 18.88" x 2.18" (170 x 47.9 x 5.55cm) 24.6 cl 50~60kg 5' 8" x 19.00" x 2.25" (173 x 48.3 x 5.7 cm) 25.9 cl 55~65kg 5' 9" x 19.25" x 2.32" (175 x 48.9 x 5.85cm) 27.3 cl 60~70kg 5'10" x 19.50" x 2.38" (178 x 49.5 x 6.0 cm) 28.9 cl 65~75kg The dimensions (size) are high performance specifications. If it's good enough for Mr. Taj Burrow, it's good enough speed and maneuverability for anyone. Taj rides it 3" shorter, with just a little more volume than his normal board, but the average surfer would want more volume than he does and an inch or two shorter than a normal high performance shortboard. This is it! This is it! This high-performance model is highly recommended by LOST as it is suitable for the wave conditions in Japan! 2016 Lost New Model "BABY BUGGY" We would like those who like the SUB-BUGGY and SUB-DRIVER to ride the Love Surf. This is the global model of LOST Mayhem! https://vimeo.com/141084061

We're revealing new information about upcoming models, board materials, and more! "CARBON WARP" This is the mark of LOST's new technology surfboards, patented Carbon Wrap. The carbon wrap wraps from the bottom to the deck, preventing twisting when the board flexes. When you step on the board with your back foot, the board springs back and accelerates precisely, just like stepping on the accelerator. Other surfboard manufacturers, please refrain from imitating this. The patent was granted by DAN of AUST. Mayhem, who tested LOST's Carbon Wrap in spring 2016, and PLACEBO's split carbon (FLEXLITE-BOOST), which will continue to be used in 2016, have both been granted patents by LOST and PLACEBO, who have both tested their excellent performance. Quiver Killer This is an extended version of the very popular SHORT ROUND, with a round tail and designed for bigger waves than the previous SHORT ROUND. Ward has already taken it to Hawaii and is loving it, as you can see on Instagram. "BABY BUGGY" This is a new model from Taj Burrow, who is taking a break from WSL to give birth to his first child. It's a slightly bulkier, high-performance board for dads of that age, hence the name. It's a global model from LOST that's positioned like a SUB-DRIVER, and Mayhem is raving about it, saying it's also suited to Japanese waves. This is the order form that Jordy Smith personally filled out when he visited the LOST Mayhem office the other day. He ordered the DRIVER, SUB-DRIVER, SUB-BUGGY, and BABY BUGGY models. This is the "LOST Traction Pad" that will be released in 2016. It's the most popular in Japan as it suits LOST and PLACEBO surfboard users! Among these, Nishii is particularly interested in "BABY BUGGY"! I want to ride it soon!!!

Luvsurf TV: PLACEBO “RNF-EVOLUTION” Koji Nishii Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: PLACEBO 5'8" 『RNF-EVOLUTION』 FLEXLITE-BOOST FILM: Hayato Masuda EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM Be sure to ride this board slowly, as sudden or violent movements are not required on this model. The board is longer so that it can be ridden on larger adult lines. As you can see, the takeoff is fast! Don't wait next to someone riding this Placebo RNF-Evolution model. You won't be able to catch waves that come close to you. You can stand up with ease, with a speed difference comparable to that shown in this photo. The great thing about this model is that it gives you time to think about how the wave will break when you stand up, and what line to take. The smallest size of this PLACEBO model that Nishii rides is 5'8", but the 6'1" and 6'3" sizes are sold out. We currently have several 5'8" and 5'10" boards in stock, the same size as Nishii's, so please come and try them out. 5'8" BOOT http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/33097/ 5'8"/5'10"CANDY LIMITED http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/category/item/itemgenre/placebosurfboard/flexlite-candy-limited-model/ If you're looking to ride a 6'1" or 6'3", the same specs will be available as a standard model in 2016, so make sure to reserve one. Nishii likes the QUAD fins on this board as they give it a loose and soft ride. Now, let's take a look at Nishii's riding on this 5'8" bike. https://vimeo.com/138460235

We will introduce you to the world's top athletes and legends known as "FU WAXERS." Martin Potter He's a former world champion and currently provides commentary for WSL LIVE. Travis Loggie He retired from the WSL this year, but his sharp turns are as shown here. Mark Healy Famous big wave surfer, Pipe Master Shane Beschen No explanation needed, he also came to Love Surf when the WCT was held in Japan. John John Florence He's addicted to FU WAX. Dane Reynolds Dane is one of those FU WAX addicts and has been well known for a long time. Julian Wilson It's not widely known, but he uses it too. Miguel Pupo That's only natural, since he's a Brazilian player. Brad Simpson In the US, he appears in advertisements for FU WAX. Fred Pataccia He could still be a player, but unfortunately he has retired from the WSL. Gabriel Medina As everyone knows, he was the world champion last year and is still aiming to win it again this year. Alejo Moniz I am currently recovering from a serious injury. Jamie Florence An iconic French professional surfer. Kelly Slater If Kelly uses it, then it must be the best wax in the world. Flipe Drade I think he's the fastest surfer on small beach break waves. Ross Williams and Shane Dorian Everyone loves "FU WAX"! Other manufacturers felt the crisis and released new waxes, but they were not accepted. There are many other new waxes being released, but if you want to surpass "FU WAX", I think the people introduced here will also end up using different waxes. As the water temperature and air temperature begin to drop, applying WARM on top of BASE and then a little COOL will give you the best 3D grip! Please give it a try. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/11847/ You can purchase it here!

You can see the head position and posture before standing up to make takeoff faster! Luvsurf TV: LOST 5'4” “CRAZY POTATO” Koji Nishii Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: LOST 5'4" "CRAZY POTATO" FILM: Hayato Masuda EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM The quick take-off has been inherited from the LAYZ POTATO, so if you lean forward enough to press your chin against the board like Nishii did in the first jump, you'll be able to slide out of the swells very quickly. This posture is important for a faster takeoff. Your head is the heaviest part of the board, so by using that weight, the board will point downwards and fall faster. The position of your head before standing up is important, so please take this into consideration. The "CRAZY POTATO" is a fast model that allows you to ride smoothly. The double wing squash tail is small and very sensitive, It can also respond instantly to unexpected changes in wave breaks at beach breaks where the wind is not right and the waves are bad. Now, please take a look at this riding video of a hybrid model with half of the nose being SHORT ROUND and half of the tail being LAYZ POTATO. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/138455278[/vimeo]

"FISHQUEST" from LOST and PLACEBO I'm sure you all remember the "FISHQUEST II" model. These FQs developed the CONQUEST (TABELT) to be shorter and easier to move in, and to make paddling faster and more comfortable in small waves. It was a high-buttboard that also had the elements of a fish, with excellent stable paddle balance. The Diablo series includes "CONQUSET EL-DIABLO" and "DOS-DIABLO." Why is the FISHQUEST board positioned like this? Have you ever wondered why there aren't any shorter boards available??? Amazingly, development of such a board has been progressing under the surface...! We had hoped to announce and release this model in the spring of 2015, but Mayhem wanted to be a board that surpassed the previous model, so in order to further mature the board design, they held off on releasing it in 2015 and took more time to develop and test the design. Today, we are finally able to make that board available to everyone. "Elevator Wing, Stealth Tail"!!! It will be released as a 2016 model! The model name is the little devil "GOBLIN"! As some of you may know, a "GOBLIN" is a legendary evil creature. The name perfectly captures the performance of this board. Nishii immediately placed an order for a custom BLACK DART model with this color design. Custom orders are also accepted, so please consider them!
