Vans US Open: Kolohe Andino unexpectedly loses in Round 3!
"VANS US OPEN SURFING 2019" Here are some photos and a report from Nishii on the spot. On this day, a southerly wind, a major enemy in California, blew from the morning, creating some of the biggest waves in California, with chest-high waves. Joanne Drew failed to advance past Round 3 in third place. Ian Crane also failed to advance to Round 3, finishing in third place. Furthermore, Kolohe Andino Just before the end of the heat, he rode the same LOST surfboard. They were overtaken by our own "Kalani Ball" and were unexpectedly defeated. Griffin Colapinto is He showed off his best surfing in round 3. Last year they came in second, so I hope they win this year. I ride an EPS/EPOXY board with a wooden center stringer! EPS foam has a floating property, so it can run without losing speed even in weak waves. Many surfers at the VANS US OPEN are riding EPS foam boards, as they are similar to the small beach breaks seen today in Japan. EPS foam boards are flexible and perform well in small waves, and the difference is especially clear when surfing onshore. All of the PLACEBO boards are EPS/EPOXY, as are LOST's CARBON WRAP and C4! The teams advancing to Round 4 on Friday are: "Kalani Ball" "Michael Rodriguez" "Yago Dora" The four members of "Griffin Colapinto"!

Masato Watanabe is a professional surfer with a relaxed style that matches the waves stylishly. Lips and curves are used as accents within the flowing lines. The highlight is the speed of the takeoff! Because it's based on the trusted classic LOST/MAYHEM that has been around for over 20 years! The market is flooded with dubious surfboards that haven't been tested much and claim to have a "fast take-off" in their description, but the RNF-ULTRA 's fast take-off is no lie! I wonder how good it is at riding the waves. Even when the waves flatten, it continues to move forward. This scene will appear many times, so don't miss it! The fact that you can even nose ride is a testament to the LOST/MAYHEM masterpiece "COOL It has been redesigned specifically for "Adult"!!

Learn moreKolohe Andino is currently ranked #1 in the WSL rankings!
Kolohe Andino played in yesterday's match at J Bay in South Africa. He came in third place and is now number one in the WSL rankings! In the semi-final, he landed an extra-large early loop with a long hang time. There have been complaints that the riding scores were too low. Since many of the WSL's athletes and organizers are Brazilian, Brazilian athletes are inevitably given higher scores. However, Kolohe Andino will only be worn by the number one ranked player in the next match. I will be competing wearing the yellow jersey! Ranked number one in my career so far This year, the World Champion Tour will enter the second half at a designated distance! Next match is in Tahiti! Keep an eye on Kolohe Andino! The board he was riding was "DRIVER" !!!
