Masato's new board is the SUB-BUGGY EFC by HydroFlex.
It's Sunday morning in the Lowers. There's a slight onshore wind. Today Masato is carrying a new LOST surfboard and beach towel. The mark on the board is a mistake and is written as "JP", Masato's new board "SUB-BUGGY" EFC by HydroFlex. It's neon yellow so it stands out even when it's cloudy. The center has more buoyancy than usual, It also picks up speed before you even start turning. The no-grab air reverse still produces plenty of height even in waves of this size. Nishii was filming the ride on video. Here are the results of the interesting WSA contest that I reported on yesterday. Under 18 class and open men's class with no age limit Kei, who was entered in two classes, Double win in both classes! His father, Masaki, also came in second in the Legend class! I'll report back from CA tomorrow!

Today's Lower waves. Both the right and left waves are great! Today Nishii is riding a SUB-BUGGY-JP carbon lap board. It's a shame that it doesn't have five fins so you can't ride it as a QUAD, but it works well as a TRI. It's super light thanks to the EPS, but the carbon fiber gives it a solid feel. This board isn't on sale yet and is still in the testing stage, but it's highly polished. The beach towel above is a new item from LOST and is Nishii's favorite. This is a point break called Church, located on the south side, to the left as you face the sea. The WSA contest is being held today and tomorrow. Kay and I went to watch and cheer on Masaki's heat. There were a lot of people riding LOST surfboards here too. There have been so many inquiries and requests for Japanese models from within the US, This is the extremely popular "SHORT ROUND" model, which was finally released in the US this year. This board with a cool airbrushed design is the V3ROCKET. You have the same LOST beach towel as Nishii. This design has just been released and is apparently very popular. He showed off an 8-point ride in the LEGEND class, Masaki advanced to the finals tomorrow. His son, Kay, takes a photo of his father's ride. Katsura is entering the OPEN MENS class, which has no age limit. In 15 minutes, we carefully selected only the best waves, We had a great win today, including a ride in the 9s, and tomorrow is the final day. I'll report back tomorrow!

The design for the 2015 "ANCHOR" Spring & Summer suit has been completed. We would like to inform everyone. "ANCHOR" is designed as Love Surf's original wetsuit, This product was produced in collaboration with Cyber Wetsuit Factory. The 2015 "ANCHOR" Spring & Summer Suit comes in three models. "ATOMIK" A neck entry model that minimizes unnecessary cuts and maximizes performance. This model has no overlapping fabric around the back or chest, making paddling easy and providing good mobility. Recommended for those looking for a suit that is easy to move in. "HAGOROMO" This model uses super stretch jersey and has a good balance of stretch and heat retention. The special embroidered mark gives it a calm atmosphere and makes it a lineup of adult models. You can specify up to four colors for the arms and ankles. "GHETTO" This is a zipperless model that offers excellent cost performance. Made from durable, eco-friendly fabric with plenty of stretch, this suit is a great value. The anchor mark, the iconic mark of "ANCHOR," is now used by surf designers not only in Japan but all over the world, and similar designs are now being adopted, but as you all know, Love Surf started using it before the anchor mark became popular. It is no exaggeration to say that "ANCHOR" is the original brand of the anchor mark, and we highly recommend "ANCHOR" wetsuits, which are always available with free full-size custom orders! If you order now, it will be ready in about 2-3 weeks!

The floater also has its own unique stretch. You can glide stably even on whitewater! You can see how the speed increases as you move into each carving turn. The split carbon FLEXLITE-BOOST material prevents twisting and provides high-rebound flex, allowing you to gain speed. Nishii was recently riding this board on a Japanese typhoon wave. "That board is coming out at an incredible speed from an incredible place. It looks like you're in good shape." The board material, BOOST, has the best flex in PLACEBO history, allowing for superb turns. The nose is round, I can always surf at high speed so I can easily do lip surfing. The round board allows for unexpectedly sharp lips that amaze onlookers. Because I'm feeling good, At someone's request, I was able to do a turn with my hands behind my back like this!

Nishii's recommended way of riding is to step on the tail like this and perform a lip action. When hitting the curl, you can determine the action by stepping firmly on the ball. By firmly holding the bottom turn, you can get the rebound that only a pre-saddle can provide. It leads to speed. Carving and Turns, etc. A great feature of this model is that it is easy to perform a variety of tricks regardless of size. Speed is important in surfing, and this "CQ EL-DIABLO" model It's also a board designed to make it easy to gain and maintain speed while surfing.

New Luvsurf TV: LOST 『SUB-SCORCHER II』 Coco HO @ GOLD COAST 2015 Rider: Coco HO "Coco Ho" Board used: LOST MAYHEM 『SUB-SCORCHER II』 POLYESTER FILM & EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a collection of riding footage of "Coco Ho" filmed on the Gold Coast in Australia in 2015. Her petite board is 5'6". In real life she is very petite and looks different from what you see on video. In the video, she is lip-syncing dynamically, but what makes it look bigger is that she raises her arms up. I would definitely like to try out this hand movement. Please watch this movement as an example from Coco Ho. The lip action that is performed repeatedly involves repeating this position. Kick the tail as hard as you can and raise both arms like this. Imagine twisting the board until the nose is higher than the tail. Now, take a look at Coco Ho's lip action, which you can also see in slow motion. https://vimeo.com/126353700 New Luvsurf TV released! LOST's "SUB-SCORCHER II" Coco HO Coco Ho is a petite woman who dynamically performs her lips in the video, but the reason they look bigger is because she lifts her arms up. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=31289 Posted by Luvsurf on May 19, 2015
