Today Nishii is riding his new board, LOST ``DOS-DIABLO'' POLYESTER.
This morning the waves were clean and LOWER. Today Nishii is riding his new board , LOST's ``DOS-DIABLO.'' The board is made of Polyester material. The fins are "FCS II" KA-PC/TRI fins [KOLOHE ANDINO] S size . It is a QUAD combination with both PROFORMER and S size. Hachi seems to be interested in KA fins too. This size is enough to test the board. The video was filmed by Dr. Akira, the family doctor of everyone in the Yokonori world. I took my time to ride my new board, LOST's "DOS-DIABLO," in good waves. After that I'll be working at LOST Surfboards. I discovered a nostalgic custom order for THE SHARK. This is a rack lined with boards returned by LOST riders. From this list, SHAW and Nishii will select the best boards in the right size for everyone in Japan. We are selling it as a used board on Luvsurf. The Red Card order was made by a person from Japan who kindly placed an order. Now that the boards are finished, we inspected and checked their quality thoroughly.

Learn moreOn the last Sunday of spring break, San Clemente Lowers was packed with kids surfers.
On the last Sunday of spring break in San Clemente, the ocean was packed with kids surfing. Sena had been surfing hard since the morning. It was on the cover of SURFING magazine. Griffin was also surfing. Nishii filmed Kei riding. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing onshore and the waves were bad. It was a good ride. Kei has been selected to represent the United States and will be heading to Brazil at the end of this month for the World Contest. I won the annual RIP CURL GROM search contest, so I'm the only American representative. He has been selected. Everyone please support Kei as he heads to Brazil to represent the United States. Nishii tested an EPS board with two CARBONs in the development stage. The split dual carbon stripe, also used on the PLACEBO, By installing two curved carbon fibers in this way on a surfboard, Please be careful when copying as this is a "PATENT PENDING" document . This split dual carbon stripe was first adopted on the PLACEBO FLEXLITE-BOOST and has already received positive feedback from those who have been using it. MAYHEM and riders are testing it at LOST with the aim of adopting it in the future. The board is made of EPS and has no stringers, making it extremely light. The fins are MAYHEMxAUROLA collaboration fins. In the evening, the wind died down in LOWERS. The waves felt like they were coming from after the wind had died down, but they were still good enough for a World Surf Contest event. Sunset is just before 8pm at this time of year. I guess there are a lot of good surfers in California because they can surf for a long time.
Learn moreToday we're looking at LOST's "CRAZY POTATO," the third model of this series.
Today's lows. The wave information said it was 2-3 feet, but There were more waves breaking. When we got down to the beach, we found this amazing set. Riding the wave of light, It was Masaki, the father of SHAW&KEI. The next wave of SET that came along was It was a Saturday and Tatsu was off work to go surfing after having Edomae sushi for lunch. My son Sena was also surfing. The board Nishii rode today was, This is already the third LOST model, "CRAZY POTATO." The board is made of PU and the size is exactly the same as the regulation size of 5'5". The bottom and deck are airbrushed colors with the same concept design. For fins, I used AUROLA WARd 5 fins in a QUAD configuration. The tail of the LOST "CRAZY POTATO" is narrower than the nose and center width, There is a long, steep VEE at the bottom, so even if you don't decide on the position of your back stance, there is a wide tolerance. When I stepped on the tail, the board moved lightly and I was reminded once again that it was a very responsive board. As expected, Mayhem is well done. The board Nishii rode today is the same model.

Look at the small side of the map. Los Cabos is a city at the tip of the Mexican peninsula. On the way back to Los Cabos from 9 Palms. I'm sure Niijima was something like this. The Mexican flag has three colors. Nishii's pick for the short trip is the PLACEBO "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST To avoid the scorching sun, NECK TANS white mesh cap, Filtrate polarized sunglasses, Tecate to prevent heatstroke, FU WAX TROPICAL offers the best grip even in hot water. LOST leash cord, which will be released soon, AUROLA knit case prevents wax from melting in strong sunlight I did a little surfing before flying to LA. It's a light reef break called THE ROCK. I started surfing, The waves were better than they looked. Mexican skull in a souvenir shop Mexico is a neighboring country, It took about two hours to get back to Los Angeles. Tomorrow I'll be reporting from CALIFORNIA LA! Besides the PLACEBO "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST that Nishii chose for his short trip, what else did he bring? A white mesh cap from NECK TANS to protect himself from the scorching sun, polarized sunglasses from FILTrate, and heatstroke prevention... Posted by Luvsurf on April 11, 2015
Learn moreToday I went surfing again on my partner PLACEBO "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST.
Los Cabos is said to have over 300 to 350 sunny days a year. It's been cloudy since this morning. Today, I went to 9 Palms, where I surfed yesterday, I went surfing in Cerritos on the Pacific side. Waves spotted from the road! This is the roundabout leading out of town. This is Route 19 on the Pacific side. Whether I look to the right or to the left It's a cactus. Arrived at Cerritos on the Pacific coast. It's a surf shop. The beach looks like this. A good left beach break Today, in Cerritos, I went for a quick surf on my partner PLACEBO "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST. A girl lights a fire and plays hula hoop while waiting at a traffic light. The people of Mexico are tough. Well, I'll report back tomorrow. Today I went for a quick surf on the Pacific side of Cerritos with my partner, the PLACEBO "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=30601 Posted by Luvsurf on April 10, 2015
Learn moreIn Los Cabos, there is only one bottle of PLACEBO "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST.
There are several surf spots in the city of Los Cabos. Since it was in the city, it seemed crowded, so I went to a spot where there were no people. We drove on unpaved, bumpy, dry roads, I was worried about getting a flat tire, It was about 30km from the city, It took about 1.5 hours. The car Nishii rented was a small 2WD compact car, You can't go fast, and the only cars that pass by are 4WD jeeps and the like. Suddenly, a cow appeared. This one startled me, but when I looked more closely I saw it was a doll. We arrived at a light point break called 9 Palms. Unlike some of the breaks in the city of Los Cabos, there were only a few people surfing. The only board I brought with me to Los Cabos for this short trip was the PLACEBO "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST. I carefully selected this pair of shoes because I thought I could enjoy them in good or bad conditions, small or large, with just one pair. PLACEBO is durable and safe, even if you take it on an airplane and leave it with someone else. The water temperature is such that I can surf with just board shorts. Since it's hot, I'm using FU WAX, which is of course TROPICAL.
Learn moreI went to the beach break "NEW PORT BEACH 56th street" to take some photos.
Onshore winds have been blowing since the morning again today. However, Chucky, who had the day off work, called me and said, "Let's shoot in the morning!" I went to the beach break at NEW PORT BEACH on 56th street. The gathered members The familiar "Chucky" Todd, a high school teacher with a chubby belly, This is Taylor, who makes his first appearance on 24's Blog and looks like a second-rate guy, but his character is like a third-rate guy. I took out the board that was in my car at 2015 PLACEBO. You choose who gets to ride which one. Chucky stretches thoroughly every time. Nishii is in charge of videography. Todd chose the 5'8" CQ-EL-DIABLO, which has the most buoyancy. Todd is a big guy and a cool high school teacher surfer. Teachers are on spring break for a week starting today. So I'm going to surf every day!' he said happily. Todd making quick turns on the PLACEBO 5'8" CQ-EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-BOOST! Chucky's bike is the PLACEBO 5'8" TITAN FLEXLITE-BOOST. Chucky also has a PLACEBO 5'5" "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST Both Nishii and Juro were raving about it, so I decided to go for it. Chucky and this PLACEBO 5'5" "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST That's great! That's what he said. I was being greedy and thought I could ride it even if it was shorter! It's certainly a good move! Taylor is wearing the PLACEBO 5'4" 'SHROT ROUND' FLEXLITE-BOOST. Taylor had good moves from the first shot. Taylor can do things he normally can't! He gave high praise to the "SHROT ROUND" model. Taylor seems to be doing well There were more than twice as many waves as people. I was able to ride the curves and lips without any fear of a wipeout. Doesn't it look like an AI holding a PLACEBO? Taylor also rode the PLACEBO 5'8" TITAN FLEXLITE-BOOST. Todd said that 5'8" is too small for him and that he would like to ride a larger size. Certainly, it looks like a good build for someone around 6'0". After a long ride, Chucky climbed over the embankment and emerged from the water. The waves were not good onshore, The great thing about PLACEBO surfboards is their friendly performance that will keep you smiling even in those waves. Here we are all having lunch together while watching the footage we shot. Stay tuned for more great photos and videos! We went to the beach break "New Port Beach 56th Street" to take some photos. The members who gathered were the familiar "Chucky", the chubby high school teacher "Todd", and "Taylor", who is making his first appearance on 24's blog and looks like a second-rate guy, but has a character that is like a third-rate guy. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=30525 Posted by Luvsurf on April 7, 2015
Learn moreJuro from the NECK TANS team gave it high praise!
Today I was filming someone riding a PLACEBO surfboard. Nishii and Chucky checking out the waves on T-STREET. Since it's a shoot, Chucky is happy that he can use as much FU WAX as he wants. Today I chose the PLACEBO 5'4" 'SHORT ROUND' FLEXLITE-CANDY. He said this was probably his favorite thing at PLACEBO. Nishii's radio is a PLACEBO 5'8" CQ EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-CANDY. The waves on the left were good. It was crowded on Saturday, so I was right to choose this model. Juro from the NECK TANS team is making his first appearance on the 24's blog. Nishii brought the PLACEBO 5'5" LAYZ POTATO FLEXLITE-BOOST to the beach and asked if I wanted to take a look and give it a test ride. "Juro" had a great ride from the first run, The people in the ocean were wondering what that board was? What's that board? I kept asking Juro, "What are you riding?" This is Juro's first time riding this board and it's amazing! They were all raving about how fun it was! SHAW appeared with a 5'5" V3-ROKET FLEXLITE-BOOST! It's a TRI fin. The V3-ROCKET I ride is the smallest PLACEBO size at 5'5". I usually ride the SHORT ROUND II, so the board is longer than usual and it feels big, but The board is big, so we were able to capture some exciting riding with some big movements. I checked LOWERS before sunset in the evening and found it was empty, so I hurried over. I've been surfing. Nishii said, "Juro" is using the PLACEBO 5'5" "LAYZ POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST. Because I praise it so much, I tried riding it so I could compare it with the 5'8" CQ EL-DIABLO. It seems to be the Easter holiday weekend, so there are fewer people than usual in the sea and on the beach, allowing the squirrels to move around in peace. I was looking through the surfers' bags to see if there was any food in them. The takeoff performance of the 5'8" CQ-ELDIABLO is also very fast, The 5'5" "LAYZ POTATO" is just as fast and impressive. As you can see from the video of the ride, The takeoff is just as fast, even though the CL value is lower than the PLACEBO 5'8" CQ-EL-DIABLO. I've noticed this when riding the LAYZ POTATO model at LOST, but the well-balanced shape design means that despite its short length, the paddling performance is just as good as the CQ-ELDIABLO. This is because the straight outline is long. This is Juro from the NECK TANS team, making his first appearance on the 24's blog. He saw the PLACEBO 5'5" LAYZ POTATO FLEXLITE-BOOST that Nishii had brought to the beach and asked if he wanted to try it out. He was in the ocean... Posted by Luvsurf on April 5, 2015
Learn moreToday I went on a photo shoot with Chucky at the shore break at Huntington Beach.
Today, Chucky said that a nice sandbar had been created at Huntington Beach. The shore break was so beautiful that I decided to go and take some photos. Chucky saw the waves today and said, The board I chose was the PLACEBO 5'4" SHORT ROUND . Your knees are bent! Chucky. But inside the barrel, it gets smaller. Nishii saw the waves and wanted to ride them. Another PLACEBO 5'8" CQ EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-CANDY. Chucky Placebo 5'4" "Short Round" They were raving about how fast it was! How fast it was! How fast it was! I couldn't take a better photo of Chucky than this, so I'll save it. Nishii was not to be outdone, PLACEBO 5'8" "CQ EL-DIABLO" FLEXLITE-CANDY was a hit. Nishii finished the session. Surf glasses are also popular and highly recommended by flight attendants. In the evening I went to Middles in Trestle to take some photos. The board I rode was the excellent PLACEBO CQ EL-DIABLO . Nishii has switched from LOST to PLACEBO , which is the model he has ridden the most over the past two years. The sea surface is choppy, but at times like this, the unique characteristics of the FLEXLITE board material are apparent. The flexibility of the board allowed it to fit the waves well and I was able to surf comfortably. Today, Chucky said he noticed a nice sandbar at Huntington Beach and that the shore break there is so good, he wanted to go and take some photos! After checking out the waves, Chucky chose the PLACEBO 5'4" SHORT ROUND. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=30463 Posted by Luvsurf on April 4, 2015
