LOST is the first to stock the POWER BASE fin system!
LOST surfboards' "POWER BASE" fin system now in stock! The roving shape at the base of the fin ensures smooth water flow. The base box is slightly larger than the base of the fin, The fin base absorbs the pressure that is applied when the fin breaks, This fin system is highly resistant to accidents such as broken fins. It is compatible with POLYESTER surfboards, so Love Surf is actively using it. We plan to adopt the "POWER BASE" fin system. Regular stockboards come with white or black fins, We have also received one set of marble colored fins as samples. Each fin is slightly different in color, so there are no two fins with the same marble color pattern.

TEAM Luvsurf returned to CALIFORNIA from MEXICO last night. This time, the South Swell will enter San Clemente, We crossed the border by car and arrived in California at 2am. I went to LOWERS to take some photos, but unlike Mexico, it was extremely crowded. This was the first big south swell of the year for the people of California, so everyone was looking forward to it. It's unavoidable that it's crowded, but it felt too crowded, a stark contrast to the empty WAVE in MEXICO. But the waves are world class! Because their wetsuits are the same color, foreigners have repeatedly asked Kei and Masato, "Are you brothers?" Photographer Masuda is also serious every day. The lobster trap in the foreground seems to have been washed away by the big waves. After one round, go to LOST Discover SHAW's V2-ROCKET! POWER BACE fins There are many colors other than white and black. After finishing work at LOST, San Clemente beach break We shot a sunset session.

In the ocean off San Miguel, we met Andrew from ARCTIC foam, the world's number one foam manufacturer, which LOST is crazy about and uses mainly, and we were given a tour of the foam factory in Mexico, the first time a Japanese person had been there. We will be sharing more details about the production experience on our blog. The main photoshoot took place at Best Low Tide in San Miguel, where Kelly also secretly frequents. We were able to take photos with compact, hollow waves, so please look forward to them being featured in STJ magazine.

Learn moreTEAM Luvsurf arrived in Mexico and began filming.
TEAM Luvsurf has arrived in MEXICO as the waves are starting to pick up again. This is where Nishii is staying. The inside of the room. Kitchen and living room. There are six of us in total, and each of us brought a few WET items. The weather was clear and perfect for taking photos. A small village at the surf point of San Miguel. In the evening, we all had a light session in the windy waves. There is a large and nice supermarket nearby. In the evening, we all went to our neighbor Masa's house and enjoyed some delicious sushi made by Masaki using tuna that had been caught nearby. The low pressure system that brought snow to Tokyo in Japan is heading our way, so the waves are expected to get even bigger tomorrow.

This Saturday morning, the TEAM Luvsurf film crew headed to LOWERS. This is the side shore from the left. Photographer Masuda is underwater. Because the waves are small elsewhere, the sea is extremely crowded. From kids to adults, all the great surfers in California are LOST/MAYHEM. It's true that fewer and fewer people are riding other shapers' boards every year. This trend is becoming stronger on a global level, The more skilled you are, the more you can tell the quality of a board, so it's only natural that you'll end up with a lot of LOST/MAYHEM shapes. Lunch was served at a restaurant run by a long-time Luvsurf TEAM member who has appeared on the 24'S blog many times. Tatsushi Wakabayashi has a history as a sushi chef at famous restaurants such as NOBU and IKKO. I've been back in San Clemente since March, so I went there. You can try his sushi here, so I'd like to introduce it to you all. Suishi Gallery Miki 129 Avenida Del Mar # A San Clemente, CA 92672 (949) 366-3737 Another round in the afternoon was at the North Side of the San Clemente Pier. This is what California's beaches look like in winter, but you can enjoy beach life all year round. San Clemente Pier from the North Side. San Clemente Pier from the South Side. From the top of San Clemente Pier, the view of T-Street on the South Side looks like this. Due to the time difference, it is March 10th here, but today is March 11th in Japan. We will observe a moment of silence from the cabin attendant to pray for the repose of the souls of the deceased.

Colorful airbrushed boards are trending this year in California. At LOST, it seems that about half of custom orders include a color specification. MAYHEM is away in Australia, so the surfboard factory is out. Masato went to the surfboard warehouse to pick up the F1-STUB he had ordered, as it had finally been completed. These are the newly completed F1-STUB and SUB-DRIVER, all of which will be sent to Luvsurf. The fins are the new POWERBASE fin system, which also allows for FCS installation. I found Chris's board in the warehouse. The model is V2-ROCKET! LOWERS is small but the waves are still as beautiful as ever. A quick photo session with Masato. Nishii's waves are small, so I use Placebo 5'6" FQ2. Kay also joins the sessions after school. Masato is currently preparing for his first JPSA match in March. Photographer Masuda is taking the photos. It was a bit crowded in the evening with about 30 people. The waves are likely to be small tomorrow in California.
Learn more"TEAM Luvsurf" will be heading back to CALIFORNIA tonight.
Today is the third day in Mexico. MASATO is a 5'10" WHIPLASH model. This is a point break that is LOCALS ONLY. It looks scary, but there are a lot of freaky locals who are bodyboarders. Both the video and photos were taken in clear, windless conditions. For lunch, we went to the famous Tacos restaurant. There is a Luvsurf authorized store sticker on it. It was just lunchtime so it was crowded. The various TACOS are as follows. On the left is beef tongue, on the right is beef steak, and on the top is the pork. Ice cream for dessert. What kind of shop is this? It was a key copy shop. An upscale town in Mexico. The waves are getting smaller tonight, We plan to return to California and then come back to Mexico to coincide with the next predicted swell.
