New Luvsurf TV:LOST “V2-GRINDER” Katsura Kobayashi LOWERS AUG 2016
Luvsurf TV:LOST "V2-GRINDER" Kei Kobayashi LOWERS AUG 2016 Rider: Kei Kobayashi Board used: LOST " V2-GRINDER " FUSE CARBON BOTTOM FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a collection of riding videos recorded in August 2016 by Kobayashi Kei, surfing on a specially designed board called the V2-GRINDER , which has center carbon in the bottom for increased rebound. He had hurt his knee and had been resting since the US Open in July, but after his doctor declared him fit to surf again, he went straight for a session. He uses his knees so softly that it's hard to believe he has hurt them, preventing him from wiping out. The fact that he can get up from any position is the result of DSC gym training. This makeup is also done in this position! A special specification for speed that Kei and other riders prefer, with center carbon added to the bottom for even stronger rebound, is available for an additional 8,000 yen (excluding tax) if specified when placing a custom order! Now, let's take a look at the riding video. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/180862717[/vimeo]

Nishii arrived in California last night and immediately started at LOWERS. I went to a WSL event to cheer on the riders riding the LOST and MAYHEM boards. Today we started with SWATCH WOMENS PRO. Approximately 1/4 of the current WSL Women's Tour players I'm riding the LOST/MAYHEM board! Only round 1 was played. The first place in the three-person heat will jump up to Round 3, The second and third place players will advance to round 2 in a one-on-one match, with no losers. "Alessa Quizon" is a player who is good at front lip. I was riding the "POCKET ROCKET" model. I finished 2nd with a score of 11.83 and advanced to Round 2. "Taylor Wright" He is currently ranked number one in the world, so he appeared wearing a gold jersey. I ended up in third place because I was waiting in a bad position and couldn't catch a good wave. 8.43 and advanced to Round 2 in 3rd place. After the heat, Mayhem immediately went off to give advice on where to wait for the waves. I was riding the "Coco Ho" center carbon board. He only managed to catch one wave that was good enough to score. It was a heat with few waves, so it can't be helped, but I hope he does his best in the next round. 6.13, 3rd place, moving on to Round 2 "Maria Manuel" feels like her body is light and moving well, Furthermore, the waves were good and the surfing looked good. He scored 15.17 points and jumped up to round 3 in first place. "Carissa Moore" The surfing seems to be going well, It was surfing with complete control over the waves.

Take the limousine bus from Narita to Haneda Airport. When I went to pick him up, he was fast asleep like this. He's a big star, after all. Since we arrived at night, we stayed at the Nishii family home. Early in the morning, we headed straight to Oarai Beach in Ibaraki Prefecture. I brought seven boards. Among them is the one that is popular among QS competitors for its suitability for Japanese waves. We also have the newly completed "CARBON WRAP". The model is the " V2-GRINDER ," which can be called Kay's signature model. There was still a big swell left behind by Typhoon Lion Rock. After four rounds, 5'7" POLY 5'5.5" POLY 2 pieces 5'5.5" CARBON WRAP I tried four boards. This is the day of the year when the tide is highest, The waves were thick and the athletes who were practicing were struggling with the quality of the waves. As expected of Kei, It was a cool look like this. He power turns into the waves, a style that is completely different from other surfers. The waves were thick on the side of the shore. "CARBON WRAP" looked good! The JPSA competition will start with the trial round on September 1st. The waves seem to be getting smaller and smaller. I ate well, slept well and recharged my batteries. I'll report back on the situation at Oarai Beach tomorrow!
