Take a look again and we'll tell you some tips on how to attach and remove the FCSII fins.
Today I invited SHAW to join me and we shot with photographer Masuda on T-Street in San Clemente. This surf spot has a mixed reef and sand bottom located south of San Clemente Pier. Today, the wind was blowing from the side onshore again from the morning, so I took the photos in the evening when the wind died down. In California, it gets this dark around 5pm, and it feels like winter is approaching. The sunset was beautiful today and there were dolphins swimming offshore while we waited for the waves. This is where the story changes. Recently, we have seen many customers purchasing boards equipped with FCSII plugs. thank you! At the time of delivery, we will provide a lecture on how to attach and remove FCSII fins in the store. We have received inquiries from customers who have purchased our products online asking for detailed instructions on how to put them on and take them off. I have received a few, so I would like to share some tips on how to put on and take off FCSII fins again. ⇧Hook the front of the fin onto this rod-shaped protrusion at the front of the plug, which is pointed by your finger in the photo above. ⇧The correct position is when there is no gap in front, as shown in this photo. ⇧Please note that if there is a gap in the front as shown in this photo, the fins will not fit in properly. As shown in this photo, "hold the board around this position with one hand." To prevent scratches on the board, place a board case on the sand or grass, or on hard surfaces such as asphalt or concrete. Be careful not to damage the board. When removing your fins, please use the beach towel you always have with you when surfing. In particular, "When removing the fin, be sure to cover the thin part at the back of the fin to avoid hurting your hand when pulling up the fin." When you use it, your hands don't hurt and it's easier to apply force. At first, it may feel a little stiff, but after removing it a few times, the box and fins will become more comfortable. By removing it several times, you will get the hang of it, and understand the direction and amount of force to apply. You will be able to appreciate the benefits of the FCSII plug's quick and easy attachment and detachment functions. For more details, please refer to this previous blog post. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=21203 Even if you don't have a board with FCSII plugs yet, your new board may be FCSII. Please take a look at this as background information. Posted by Luvsurf .
Learn moreHabiyar from Epoxy PRO came to deliver the finished board.
In stark contrast to yesterday's midsummer weather, it's gotten so cold that you'll need gloves. On a cold, windy day like this in California, the waves aren't great. So I went to LOST Surfboards to work. Doing desk work while watching SHAW and the REEF contest live from Haleiwa, Hawaii. Javier from Epoxy PRO, the company that makes XTR boards, came to deliver the finished boards. Many custom order boards from Japanese customers have been completed. Of course, the stock board was also completed, so I checked it with Habiyar right away. It's time for inspection. The popular LAYZ POTATO XTR-FX spec board has been finished, albeit only a little. These will be immediately air-shipped to Japan and delivered to everyone who has made a reservation. Posted by Luvsurf .

All photos by Hayato Masuda This morning, I went to invite Mayhem to go surfing, but he had just woken up and had messy hair. He was shaping. Mayhem really loves shaping. The Mayhem family is within walking distance of the LOST surfboard factory. It is located just a few minutes' drive from LOWERS. There is no wind today and the waves are beautiful with an oily face. It's the perfect wave to test your board. Kei brought two boards. We are replacing FCSII fins with one touch, which can be replaced without tools or screws. Nishii was in charge of the video camera to film the two of them. The board Kei is riding is the "V2-SB." You can see a small mark in the center of his stance. MAYHEM was riding the test board again today. When we returned to the factory, we immediately incorporated today's feedback into a new design. The blanks cut by the AKU machine are Nishii recorded the process on video as he began shaping the blank. Every time a board is ridden, it is returned to the factory immediately, allowing for immediate design updates. Whether LOST surfboards are doing well and WCT surfers want them remains to be seen. This is because it is constantly being developed and evolving. Mayhem will be heading out to Santa Cruz for business starting tomorrow. Posted by Luvsurf .

All photos by Hayato Masuda This is a morning wave at LOWERS. It's a high tide and the break is closer to the shore, but it's a beautiful wave. Since it was free, I invited Mayhem to go surfing. We went to the LOST surfboard factory, and Kolohe's dad, Dino Andino has arrived. I'm waiting for the Kolohe board that Mayhem is shaping to be completed. Once it's finished, he takes it straight to the glass factory and has them quickly make the boards. He's a devoted father. It's a SUB-DRIVER round tail. Mayhem has been watching Kolohe since he was born. I'm working with Dino to shape boards with the goal of making him a world champion. Mayhem has finally reached a point where they can finish Kolohe's board. It's mayhem surf time at LOWERS, close to the factory. When we went down to the beach, SHAW&KEI's father, MASAKI, was flying high and catching some great waves. Since it was empty, Mayhem was able to catch a lot of good waves in a short amount of time. The waves here have long shoulders and open faces, making them ideal for testing the performance of your board. For lunch, we went to Mayhem's favorite sushi restaurant. This is an exchange of information between Japan and the US about the state of the surf industry in Japan and events in the US surf industry. LOST will be releasing new surf goods in spring 2014, so stay tuned! When I returned to the factory, I immediately started working on the blanks, which had an improved outline of the board I had just been riding. Cut with an AKU machine, The results of the test ride were immediately reflected in the board design. We have adjusted the thickness of each part of the board, the tail rocker, and the maximum position of the outline. At this rate, Mayhem is constantly iterating on the design, little by little, to make the board better. Posted by Luvsurf .
Learn moreI had a photoshoot with Mayhem and LOST riders on San Clemente's T-Street.
Today I had a photo session with Mayhem and LOST riders on San Clemente's T-Street. In the early morning, three schools were doing morning surfing practice, so there were about 200 kids surfers. Once that's over, it's adult time. This is the first time I've seen Taylor Wright surfing here on T-Street. He's FCSII. Chris Ward was the first to arrive. I brought the boards I had shaped for Julian Wilson out of the factory and tested them. Luke Davis now has purple and pink dyed hair and is instantly recognizable. A cool carving turn by Luke, a member of the LOST surfboards team and REEF's signature rider. Mayhem was also losing to the pros and lipping out a lot. Taylor Wright came from Australia to see Mayhem build the board and actually ride it. Apparently he's staying there to make a serious request. Taylor Wright, who had his V2-SB shaped by Mayhem, said he preferred the regular SUB-DRIVER. She is a surfer who rides with a narrow stance and a back stance, so she chose a SUB-DRIVER with a wide tail. Mayhem said that the design would match better. This is Mayhem, Dino Andino (Kolohe's father) Nishii and the 40-something generation of men, Today, the surfers who were riding boards with less rocker and more buoyancy than the pros were more likely to be in the water. We caught a lot of waves, how about FCSII? Do you like it? Here are some photos from today's session and during our discussion about boards. Posted by Luvsurf .
Learn moreReport from LOST Surfboard Factory in San Clemente, California.
Reporting from the LOST Surfboard Factory in San Clemente, California on Monday. It's winter in California, and LOST surfboards are incredibly popular.

Luvsurf TV:LOST MAYHEM 『V2-SB』 Julian Wilson Rider: Julian Wilson Board used: LOST MAYHEM 『V2-SB』 FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM The board that Julian was riding at the 2013 US-OPEN was not the usual DRIVER model, This new model, called the "V2-SB," was issued by Mayhem in 2013 to WCT and WQS competitors and many other team riders. It was perfected through extensive testing and adjustments from contests and free surfing. This is a noteworthy new model that is scheduled for official release in 2014. The flat rocker curve of ROCKET, known as the Devil's Rocker, For competitors who prefer a point nose, This model was designed by Mayhem to work on high performance boards. The characteristics of this board are the wave quality that breaks slowly and The waves are thick and the terrain is bad, so the board stalls when trying to ride to the inside. This model was designed with an emphasis on being able to ride at high speeds in sections, This is our top recommended high-performance model for 2014, with a design that is well suited to the wave conditions in Japan. What I want everyone to emulate in Julian W's riding is the "backside bottom turn posture." The posture is to spread both hands wide and put weight deeply on the board so as not to lose balance, This is a position that allows you to lower your riding posture while bottom turning by "keeping your left hand in contact with the bottom surface" with each bottom turn. If you can make a backside turn while being conscious of keeping your left hand on the wave surface, your turns will become more stable. This will allow you to make extended turns towards the top! Now, let's take a look at J.W.'s riding on the V2-SB. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/77893383[/vimeo] Posted by Luvsurf .

Luvsurf TV: LOST MAYHEM 『V2-SB』Carissa Moore Rider: Carissa Moore Board used: LOST MAYHEM 『V2-SB』 FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM In 2014, we decided to release a new model, the "V2-Short Board." Carissa Moore, who won the 2013 US-OPEN, This is a compilation of the riding up to the final heat. As I mentioned in the previous Alejo riding video, This is a new model from MAYHEM designed for high performance in thick waves. Many team riders have already ridden it and have provided feedback from test rides. Mayhem has been tuned up and is achieving unprecedented results in major competitions. The board design of the "V2-SB" can be summed up in one word: It has little rocker, but the outline is that of a shortboard with a pointed nose. The waves at Huntington Beach (HB) require you to hit the board and ride all the way to the inside, The design of this V2-SB matches perfectly, and like Alejo, Carissa also made a good board choice. It is said that he won. By the way, the technique of hitting the board and riding the waves is called a "Hundington Hop" in English. Now, check out this video of the 2013 World Champion riding the V2-SB. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/77889983[/vimeo] Posted by Luvsurf .

Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many new boards! Mr. A, LOST 5'5" "LAYZ POTATO" POLYESTER material was chosen. I had a test ride with a larger size (5'7") from someone who purchased the same model. This female surfer was amazed by the extremely fast take-off and high speed of the board, and asked to purchase it in a smaller size. He said, "I rode the overhead waves in Bali and was able to dolphin even though I'm 5'7" tall!" Mr. B, LOST 5'9" chose the CONQUEST XTR 3D CARBOLIC material. The CONQUEST is Mayhem's masterpiece design as a Japan-exclusive model, It's a very reliable model, as it has been on sale for a long time.

This time, the sale price was great, so customers came to the store to check out the actual product and purchase it. Mr. F, LOST 5'11" "SUB DRIVER-JP" chose the XTR 3D CARBOLIC material.

He has been a customer of our store since we first opened in 1996, and was very pleased, saying that this XTR sale was an unprecedented bargain. XTR 3D CARBOLIC & V-FLEX Clearance Sale!
