New Luvsurf TV released! LOST “POCKET ROCKET” Pro-Formance series Masato Yukawa
Luvsurf TV: LOST 『 POCKET ROCKET 』 Pro-Formance series Masato Yukawa Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST " POCKET ROCKET " Pro-Formance series FILM & EDIT: KOTA KUMAZAWA "Yukawa Masato" is the rocker in the LOST performance series, This is a riding video of the sharply outlined, slim and narrow " POCKET ROCKET ." As the model name suggests, " POCKET ROCKET " is a surfboard that is perfect for surfing in the power zone of the waves. This model allows you to surf while keeping your pockets open. Kolohe and Mayhem have been working on DRIVER for many years. It has been developed through repeated fine-tuning, with an emphasis on being able to perform tricks in deeper wave sections. In this riding video, you can see a lot of backside action, You can see the wave pocket rising vertically from the bottom at a steep angle. The wave quality that is best suited to riding the " POCKET ROCKET " is not the size of the wave, but rather, It's ideal for situations where the waves have hollow sections. For example, shallow shore or reef breaks with knee-high waves, or fast breaks where the waves dig in from the takeoff and you have to run sideways immediately after takeoff to get out. The Pocket Rocket is also suitable for slimmer riders, kids, and women, so we recommend it. Now, please take a look at this riding video, all filmed on the waves of eastern Taiwan.

The RNF-RETRO is a fun, easy-to-ride board that is suitable for surfers of all levels. Beginner to average level surfers should choose a longer and larger board size. If you are an expert level surfer, choose a shorter length that you have never ridden before and ride it. You can ride this RNF-RETRO model to its full potential. Its retro design hides a level of performance you wouldn't expect, It can easily do air and intense lip strokes, We place importance on riding with graceful and beautiful lines. This model is suitable for adult surfers as well. It's wide and short so it's great for powerless waves, The fin position can be adjusted to allow riding with either QUAD or TWIN fins. The fins are designed to stand further back than normal. This board has good speed performance even in small waves, so it allows you to surf without difficulty in conditions such as weak wind waves after an onshore wind blows, or small waves where only the top breaks slowly. The RNF-RETRO is a short 5'2" long bike . Check out Masato's surfing, where he adds accents to the flowing lines. Unlike typical retro twins, which only run sideways and have a tail that is too wide, Masato proves that he can move both vertically and horizontally! A wolf in sheep's clothing, we recommend the LOST ``RNF-RETRO'' model! You can get your own ready-to-ride stock board signed by MAYHEM here! [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/261245302[/vimeo]

LOST Surfboards AM team rider, Ichiko, Check out the surf photos of Ikko Watanabe. The board I'm riding is a 4'11" DRIVER Pro-Formance. As expected, they won the All Japan Kids Class in 2017! Nishii hadn't seen Ichi surf for several months, It was even better than last year. Ichi's surfing is fast and stylish. At this age, the more you surf, the better you get. The lip is also fin-free. On this day too, they stood out by surfing faster than the adults. Ichi loves the Driver , a favorite among LOST competitors, but his next boards will be the Driver and the Pocket Rocket . This year's All Japan Championships will be his last year in the Kids class, and from next year he'll be in the Boys class with his older brothers. Please cheer him on so he can win the Kids class for the second time in a row.
Learn moreThis is the second report from LOST & PLACEBO Surfboards Chiba's "DEMO & ORDER TOUR"!
Yesterday, we held the second leg of the LOST & PLACEBO surfboards Chiba "DEMO & ORDER TOUR". I went with Chiba Kita KI Surf. The event will be held at the former Kanpo point, located north of Kujukuri Beach in Chiba Prefecture. We have about 30 LOST & PLACEBO surfboards available. The set was chest-sized, and in the morning, the sea was calm and clean. In the afternoon, we went onshore, but many people came, We had a test drive. Nishii rode the RNF-REDUX with CARBON WRAP. This model truly excels in overall balance. It's a LOST masterpiece, scoring highly in terms of paddle performance, maneuverability, and ease of riding. It pairs perfectly with the CARBON WRAP material. Because this model's design is so well-known, many manufacturers want to use its name, and it's been released in various collaborations and licensed productions, both past and present. Nishii, who has been riding this "RNF Series" model for over 20 years and probably spends more time riding RNFs than anyone else in the world, can confidently say that the RNF-REDUX is best ridden with CARBON WRAP. If there are any other "RNF Series" board materials that I can recommend, I'll be sure to let you know! Iida-san, the owner of KI Surf, was trying out the latest stock board from DRIVER CARBON WRAP, which was the first to arrive in 2018 and immediately sold out. He has been riding his own DRIVER CARBON WRAP since 2016. The next shipment of this DRIVER CARBON WRAP, priced at 158,000 yen, will arrive in mid-April. It has the PRO dimensions of 5'7", 5'8". and 5'9". The person who test drove this ``DIABLO-X'' CARBON WRAP was also considering buying this ``DIABLO-X'' CARBON WRAP. This customer also had a similar experience, reserving a board that was one size shorter than the one they test rode. Hiroki, an AM rider who came to help, I was riding the waves here and saying that the ``GOBLIN-SPRIT'' was perfect for it. Hiroki also got to try out the test ride board, the RNF-RETRO. This is Mr. Nakajima, who came to help out. I was riding my own ``GOBLIN'' on the clean waves first thing in the morning before the wind picked up. Kinoshita-san, who also came to help out, Apparently she recently appeared on Matsuko Deluxe's TV show and became a minor celebrity. The bike he was riding was a DIABLO-X CARBON WRAP and seemed to be in good condition. LOST Japan AM team rider Ichi Watanabe, who came to help out at the test ride, had fun paddling on the PLACEBO ORCA SOFT TOP without fins, taking off from the ocean faster than with a long board, using his knees to paddle. Ichi Watanabe also rode the RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP that Nishii was riding, and said that he wanted a board in the right size for him. Hmmm, that would mean the board size would be around 4'5". LOST & PLACEBO Surfboard Chiba "DEMO & ORDER TOUR" third event is The new store will open on Sunday, April 1st. MOONRISE GARAGE 1F, 4-11-4 Inagekaigan, Mihama-ku, Chiba City 043-216-2114 The event will be held at this store in the last week of April.

Luvsurf TV: LOST 『SUB-DRIVER』 Pro-Formance series Masato Yukawa Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST 『SUB-DRIVER』 Pro-Formance series FILM & EDIT: KOTA KUMAZAWA LOST Japan PRO team rider Masato Yukawa was photographed just a few weeks ago. This is a riding video of the famous LOST masterpiece "SUB-DRIVER" model. The "SUB-DRIVER" model is a model that continues to evolve and be released, and this latest version, the "SUB-DRIVER" model, is made of Polyester and is equipped with a carbon tail patch that also reinforces the tail of the deck. The original Fuse Carbon is also installed straight on the stringer line in the center of the bottom, which is designed to maximize the rebound force of the board as it flexes and pushes back into place during a turn and convert it into speed. The stringers installed on the SUB-DRIVER, which are exclusive to the Pro-Formance series, are made of wood, lightweight and more flexible redwood, stained a bold black. In this riding video, you can see the angle of the board on the backside lip that rises vertically, and the flow performance that keeps the speed up after each action. Now, let's take a look at Masato Yukawa riding the SUB-DRIVER model, which is more suited to smaller waves than the DRIVER model in the Pro-Formance series. https://vimeo.com/261247200

At 19 years old, he is the youngest WSL World Tour surfer. In his debut match at the first WSL event in Australia the other day, The only 10-point ride of the event, I was riding the Griffin Colapinto when it was in the spotlight all over the world. The board model is " POCKET ROCKET ". There are three WSL matches in Australia, These are the boards that were prepared for the approximately three months leading up to the end of April. The main board that Griffin has ridden the most so far is `` DRIVER '' and `` POCKET ROCKET ''. The match at RIP CURL Bells Beach starting next week on Wednesday, March 28th will be held at I'm looking forward to seeing which board he will ride and the results. Looking at his Instagram posts so far, he's been riding the DRIVER at Bells Beach. The POCKET ROCKET is suited to the shallow, hollow waves with fast breaking Kira and Snapper waves, while the DRIVER is suited to the deeper, fatter waves at Bells. 1st in the 2017 QS rankings 2017 Hawaii Triple Crown 1st place (first for a Californian) As the youngest rookie in 2018, he earned 10 points in his first race. These recent results are the reason why his future is so promising and attracting attention. His coach, former WT athlete Jake Patterson, immediately absorbs everything he teaches.
