Please see the report of the test drive event held yesterday in strong winds at the parking lot in front of the Shonan Kugenuma Underground Passage. It was a huge test ride event where many other brands could be ridden at once, but the LOST & PLACEBO surfboard section was so popular that people lined up before the test ride even started. "GOBLIN" is the center of attention both in stores and at test ride events! "GOBLIN" is also a popular choice at test ride events. It's so popular it needs no explanation! Among the LOST performance line , "DIABLO-SPARTAN" was the most popular! This one is also "DIABLO-SPARTAN" . The DIABLO-SPARTAN is based on the DOS-DIABLO, so its paddling performance is far superior to its appearance. It has a cool pointed nose, but is a high-performance model that is easy to paddle and surf, and is suitable for those with reduced physical strength. Take, a LOST freak and Murasaki team rider, was also test riding a variety of bikes! The PLACEBO "CONQUEST EL-DIBLO" is also popular for test rides, with customers wanting to compare the front and rear sizes before making a final decision on their purchase. The rear board is not a test board, but my own board, the "SHORT ROUND." PLACEBO 『CONQUEST EL-DIBLO』 The 5'9" size, which was added in 2016, also fits many people with the right weight, so The test drives were so popular that people didn't have a turn to ride. The strong winds had flattened the waves, but everyone was trying out lots of different boards. As for how strong the wind was, the boards that were not test-ridden were The wind was so strong that if you took your eyes off it would look like this in an instant. Among the free surfing lines, the "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" was the most popular! This board is suitable for the wave quality in Shonan, so it would be a good idea to try it out at the Shonan test ride event. This is a model that many customers purchase after test drives. These surf gear were a big hit yesterday. "SURF BRUSH" This is a special brush designed and sold by a local man on T-Street in San Clemente, California, to remove sand and dirt from your board, feet, etc. Brushing away sand is surprisingly easy. The brushes are just the right length and hardness, so they're comfortable to use on the board or even on the body, and are soft enough for children to use. Just arrived in time! There are two different lengths of limbs. We would like to thank the test drive participants, manufacturers, and other related parties who enthusiastically took part in the test drive despite the strong winds. Thank you everyone for your hard work!

Mr. A, PLACEBO 5'8" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He purchased this popular model , the "GOBLIN," because he wanted to ride more waves than anyone else when he went surfing and have fun, with a board that is rumored to have the best buoyancy and paddling performance of any pre-boat! Mr. B, PLACEBO 5'10" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. We took into consideration the feedback from our users on our website, which has a reputation for being durable, long-lasting, and not easily discolored by the sun. Since the PLACEBO is a board designed and shaped by Mayhem, the LOST brand grips that we applied are a perfect match! Mr. C said, PLACEBO 5'10" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He had been riding a longboard up until now, but he really wanted to try riding a shortboard, like the ones he sees in the ocean, where they move nimbly up and down the face of the waves for exhilarating surfing, so after doing some research we decided to have him ride the ``GOBLIN.'' Mr. D, PLACEBO 5'6" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He usually surfs using a thin board, but he has trouble taking off when the waves are small or the power is weak, so he was looking for a board that was not only thick but also agile enough to be easy to ride even in such situations, and he chose the ``GOBLIN'' to ride. Mr. E, PLACEBO 5'6" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He had been away from surfing for a while and was looking for the right board to get back into surfing. He discovered the Love Surf website and learned about the PLACEBO brand. After researching further and perusing the website, he decided that the "GOBLIN" looked good and came to our shop for advice. Everyone! Thank you for coming to our store and purchasing so many "GOBLIN" copies! We just got it in stock and have all four sizes available now! The Goblin is a wonderfully easy-to-ride and friendly model, so be sure to give it a try! We highly recommend it!
Learn moreIt's amazing! Don't forget the lost "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model!
The waves are getting smaller in the San Clemente area, so the board I used today was the lost "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model. This "LOST PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model is a squash tail version of an older model that went on sale in the USA, but has been refined with a new design for the Japanese wave and Japanese riders. And because it's a Japan-only model, it has a ROCKET tail, so be sure to look for it. Honestly, it's been a while since I last rode it, but it's in great condition! By using the ROCKET tail, the rail length is shortened, improving the board's maneuverability, and when using the wide ``PUDDLE JUMPER-JP'' model for rail work, the rails can be swapped left and right in an interesting way. If you're riding the "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model, we definitely recommend the ROCKET tail! The other day, the Okuyamas from Kimmy's, who I lent this board to, told me that they had been riding it at a surf spot called San Onofe that is exclusively for longboards, and that it had been great, so Nishii thought it would be perfect for today's waves, so he brought it out. As you can see in the Mayhem model explanation video , it uses soft redwood stringers, so the short, wide board design flexes well. Make sure you ride it wide enough that you can just barely reach it when holding it under your arm! Finn is On the front is this M size , This M size for the rear I use it in a balanced way. If you are riding small waves with the ``PUDDLE JUMPER-JP'' model, we recommend setting the fins to smaller sizes M or S as they will be more agile. Changing the topic, the hugely popular "SURF GRASS MAT" recently arrived in a larger size L , but Nishii still treasures the original model. It's a durable, high-quality product that can be used for a long time, so if you haven't used it yet, be sure to get one! It will change again. At LOST in San Clemente, Carbon Wrap boards are being produced one after another. They're so popular they can't keep up with production. Nishii is currently overseas, but please contact us here for inquiries about "CARBON WRAP". We've received a lot of inquiries! The new stockboards are ready to ride, so we're currently receiving a lot of inquiries about the right size! Thank you! Riding it will improve your surfing performance, When you come out of the water, you'll be smiling just like this YAGO DORA!

At the recent Volcom TCT Championship Contest, Kei, who is 17 years old, made it to the finals in the Junior Division and placed third. Here is a report on the Proam Division, which is the older class for older surfers. Three of the four finalists in the Proam Division were using LOST surfboards, so we'd like to introduce them to you. 3rd place: "Wesley Dantas" BRAZIL He is the younger brother of current WCT player Wiggory Dantas. His backside surfing, inherited from his older brother, is even sharper and faster. He has high air and explosive surfing, and he also came to Chiba QS6000 in Japan. 2nd place: Matt Pasquindich, USA He is also known as FU WAXER on the East Coast. He is not yet well known in Japan, but he surfs carefully and racks up scores to win contests. He is very skilled and careful in how he uses the waves. Winner: Griffin Colapinto, USA He also came to QS6000 in Chiba, Japan, but struggled with small waves. Today, however, he won in a landslide victory, hitting consecutive 9-point rides in the final on local waves he knows well. Nishii filmed the ride of these WCT hopefuls, so please look forward to its release! LOST surfboards took the top three spots! A well-conditioned board that runs well and moves freely - that's the hallmark of a MAYHEM surfboard!

Volcom's World Contest is happening now in Lower East Side! Approximately 250 future WCT players selected from around the world have gathered. Before the heat Carefully apply FU WAX evenly to the entire deck except for the rails, including the nose and grips, to prevent slipping no matter where you place your feet. Take your time and carefully wipe down the bottom and fins of your board. Not only does it improve concentration, but even small stains can affect your speed. I want to emulate the samurai spirit of caring for my precious board. The board that Kei is using on this day is Both are 5'5.5" V2-GRINDER . It's so popular that it's out of stock, but we'll get more in soon! This model requires a reservation! The board sinks and then comes up - this is the cutting edge move of the future. Even with this much weight on the board and it sinking, you still have perfect control over the board. The waves are double-sized so it's fun to watch. Kay gets high scores because she never wipes out. There was also a scene like this. I avoided the clumps of kelp. We won the quarter final and advanced to the semi final! Tomorrow is the final day! Thank you for your support! You can see the results and the live stream here! http://tct.volcom.com
Learn moreFrom Mayhem to you all about LOST's "CARBON WRAP"!
Today Mayhem returned from a business trip to Florida so I went to see him. When I asked about the LOST surfboard factory, Mayhem is in the shaping room, seriously checking the outline. I was checking whether the board cut and shaped by AKU matched the design image. We all watched Taji's heat. Thank you for your 18-year career in the WCT. Taji will retire from the WCT but will continue to work as a freelance professional surfer. Mayhem's own Carbon Wrap board has arrived from the PLACEBO factory, and he is happily opening it. It's the unboxing ceremony. Everyone gets excited and excited when they see the new board they're going to ride for the first time. This is a signed photo from Dane Reynolds as a thank you. Dane is riding on the MAYHEM board that AI was riding on. Today I had a desk meeting with Mayhem. He would like everyone in Japan to compare the high quality of the Carbon Wrap produced at the PLACEBO factory with other brands of epoxy boards made in Asia. The difference in the quality of the materials used is clear. And best of all, it feels great to ride. Give the world's best epoxy board , "CARBON WRAP," a try! You'll really be able to take your surfing to the next level!
