Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many new surfboards!
Mr. A, The LOST "V2-SB" POLYESTER/WHITE POLY PRO TAIL PATCH material was chosen. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/v2-sb Before the new arrivals information was posted on the website, customers had seen the information on this blog and used the question board here to directly consult with Nishii about board selection, and to discuss board size before coming to the store. The customer chose from four designs of boards with cool black hand-painted glass and a white MAYHEM logo that arrived this time. Mr. B, LOST "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" POLYESTER/WHITE POLY PRO TAIL PATCH material was selected. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/conquest-el-diablo-lost As soon as this model was announced on the website, we received pre-orders before it arrived, and it's finally here, a board that everyone has been waiting for for a long time. Customers are very happy that they can now enjoy riding lots of waves with the long-awaited buoyancy they've been longing for. The deck grip matches the color of the LOST logo, making this a cool board. Mr. C said, The LOST "V2-SB" POLYESTER/WHITE POLY PRO TAIL PATCH material was chosen. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/v2-sb This board was made to order. He has always loved LOST's high performance boards. He has also custom-ordered most of the boards designed by MAYHEM, such as the WHIPLASH-TB, F1-STUB, SCORCHER, and DRIVER, so this time he purchased the V2-SB, the most popular HP model and the one he wants to ride most in 2014. Mr. D, LOST's "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" was chosen using XTR-FX material. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/conquest-el-diablo-lost He had been riding a thin Australian board, but his surfing friends had advised him that the board was too narrow, thin and had too much rocker to ride in Japan, so he decided to ride a board that was more suited to the wave conditions in Japan. After researching what kind of board would be best, he found the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO and came to our store. Mr. E, The LOST "V2-SB" POLYESTER/WHITE POLY PRO TAIL PATCH material was chosen. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/v2-sb This board was apparently garnering attention at last year's US Open, where Julian Wilson and Alejo Monitz rode it to great success. The Luvsurf TWO LINE logo was glass laminated, something that can only be done on custom-ordered boards. The advantage of glass laminating the Luvsurf logo is that when removing the wax with a wax comb, the sticker can sometimes come off, but once glass laminated, there's no need to worry about that. It's free, so just ask our staff when you place your custom order! Mr. F, LOST's "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" was chosen using XTR-FX material. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/conquest-el-diablo-lost Nishii's favorite personal board, the 5'8" CONQUEST EL-DIABLO, in the ocean. After switching to a new board, I was able to ride the waves like a different person, and I was able to ride the waves like a different person. At first, he was a little hesitant, but like Taji, he realized that it was time to raise his CL value. Until now, he's been riding good sets and ripping at crowded major spots on weekends. Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many new surfboards! We welcome enquiries from those considering switching to a new board. Please feel free to contact Nishii using the email form below. What model and size is best? Also, which of the two sizes I'm considering is better? Of course, we will answer any questions you may have about custom-ordered boards until you are satisfied. Please feel free to contact Nishii in person, by phone, or by email. We will be sure to recommend a board that will help you improve your surfing skills! Please call us at 03.3732.5532.

Learn moreCarissa's "Magic Board" from the ASP WORLDTOUR.COM article
Carissa's Magic Board From an article on ASPWORLDTOUR.COM Carissa Moore won at Bells Beach aboard Sub-Scocher II. "SUB-SCORCHER II" ...Here are the details of the board that Lost founder and shaper Matt "Mayhem" Biolos created for her: Carissa Moore once again defeated Taylor Wright to win the Rip Curl Women's Pro at Bells Beach. Moore solidified Team Hawaii's lead on the ASP World Cup Tour following last week's victory over Stephanie Gilmore's Australian team, who advance to the Rio Women's Pro. As always, quality surfboards, superior craftsmanship, and a positive relationship with a respected board maker are key factors in top surfers' competitions. Carissa Moore's relationship with San Clemente-based Matt "Mayhem" Biolos began in 2009 and has been met with phenomenal results. Eleven elite WCT surfers have won on Mayhem boards, two ASP Women's World Titles, and countless regional and honors accolades. <Photo> Shaper: Matt "Mayhem" Biolos Model: Sub-Scorcher II Dimensions: 5'9" x 18.50" x 2.18" Fins: FCS Thruster – PC5 Fins Tail: Squash Volume: Trade Secret Material: Poly and fiberglass "My backup board (in case it breaks or breaks) is the 5'11" that I used to win in Margaret River last week. Today the waves were a little smaller and clearer so I went for the slightly chunkier 5'9". I'm really honored to be working with someone like Matt (Biolos). He always builds me great boards," said Carissa. "The SUB-SCORCHER II is designed to ride clean waves as well as messy, choppy ones. We've slightly widened the board and lengthened the tail from the 5'8" x 18.63" dimensions that she's used to win so many times. The idea is to reduce the surface area in the nose and tail, making it easier to control speed and push in big waves. It also functions as a gliding board with gentle rocker for big, soft waves. It works like a charm," says Matt "Mayhem" Biolos. Biolos' success was also evident at the recent Rip Curl Women's Pro Bells Beach, where Taylor Wright came in second... She also uses the Mayhem Sub-Driver spec... which makes her even more appreciated. "I'm so proud of both of these skaters. They both showed amazing surfing and incredible sportsmanship. Thank you for an amazing show. I'm honored to be working with them to push the boundaries of board performance at the highest level in the world," said Matt "Mayhem" Biolos (Instagram: @mayhemb3_mattbiolos). The next event on the 2014 Samsung Galaxy ASP Women's World Champion Tour is: The Rio Women's Pro in Brazil will be held from May 7th to 18th. (It just took place, and Mayhem was even featured on the live broadcast from Brazil!) * Posted by Luvsurf .

The Kobayashi Brothers from the "Luvsurf" & "NECK TANS" PRO TEAM are doing great! Last weekend, in the team competition called the "OAKLEY Surf Shop Challenge," his brother, Sho, formed a team with Mason Ho, Chris Ward, and Randy Kilgerson. Apparently, in the semi-final, Shaw scored two 9-point shots. The board he was riding was, of course, his signature model , "SHORT ROUND." The next day, Kei's team won the team challenge contest held at their schools! The two of them are members of a core local brand called "NECK TANS" in San Clemente, We would like to introduce again the "NECK TANS" brand, which is rapidly gaining fans in Japan! "NECK TANS" refers to the sunburn on a surfer's neck. The tan lines that surfers get when wearing a wetsuit are obvious. It's a cool brand that has been named after it. And what's interesting is that if you post a photo of your tan on Instagram with the tag #necktans, NECK TANS will select the best neck tanner and give them a gift! Kolohe & Ian, Kelly, and Lisa Anderson are also posting on Instagram like this! Please try posting a photo of your tanned neck on Instagram with the tag #necktans.

Learn morePlease watch Nishii's video explaining how to attach and remove FCSII fins.
[vimeo]https://vimeo.com/92307663[/vimeo] This video explains how to attach and remove the FCSII fins, which have been featured on LOST and Placebo surfboards since 2014. Watch this video before using FCSII fins for the first time to learn how to attach and remove them, along with tips and precautions. The pressure you apply when inserting the fins into the box may be a little daunting at first, as it's a strength you've never applied to a surfboard before. However, once you've experienced the right amount of pressure, you'll be able to attach and remove them without worry the next time. While not explained in this video, please remember that when removing the fins, instead of holding the base or entire fin, you should grasp the tip of the fin and push up to remove it using the leverage principle. This makes it surprisingly easy to do. The FCSII fins have an orange part inside the fin box that rotates, The fin is designed to stop when it catches on the fin body. Once you understand this structure, you will be able to better understand how much force to apply and in what direction. The old FCS plugs will be gone in a few years, so we encourage everyone to get an FCS II fin board. Free yourself from the time-consuming and tedious screw fin system you've been using until now! * Posted by Luvsurf .

Today we held a test drive event at Torami Beach in the northern Chiba area. The ``NEW RIPQUEST'' will be making its first appearance at the test ride event, and you can ride all four of each size! The highest performance "FU WAX" can be applied as much as you like, and 100% of first-time users You can see the difference! You can experience it! It has great grip! He praised it highly. For six hours from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, customers can ride any board as much as they like, as long as their energy allows. This is Mr. Abe from Murasaki Sports Ueno Main Store, who organized the test ride event. The new 5'5" V3-ROCKET model, designed for lighter riders, is also available for the first time! It was an impressive event with all the major models from LOST and Placebo lined up! The waves were big enough today that we had some high performance boards to ride too. The youngest participant was 14 years old. He liked it and begged his father for it. (He said, "You're 10 years too early! I want it.") This person usually rides a 6'4" TABLET model. This time, I would like to try out the new size model "6'0" FISHQUEST" which is also appearing for the first time. They participated and commented that it was great and they wanted one. If you are riding a high performance model with a point nose, The popular V2-SB model was being test driven with everyone competing for it. After all, LOST surfboards' MAYHEM shape design is a world leader in surfboard design, It is popular and supported by surfers who know the benefits of a truly top-notch surfboard and feel great when riding it. Although "FLEXLITE-TURBO", "XTR FX" and "HYDRO FLEX" are strong, Because it is so lightweight, people who held it for the first time were surprised when they compared the weight of the board. Those who have test-ridden the "NEW RIPQUEST" have commented that the tail is wide and the start is smooth. The split diamond tail design is effective, His impression was that it was very sensitive. The waves were overhead and in good size and shape, with a score of 55 on the mobile phone wave information. The "SHORT ROUND" model, which also made its first appearance at the test drive event, proved to be more popular than expected. After the test ride, some people immediately ordered a custom waterproof Hydroflex V2-SB. I'm glad to see you here. Today, as you might expect, the test ride event was popular for new models such as the "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO." Thanks to everyone who participated and the test ride event staff for their hard work!
