To all of you who are troubled! Please use the Nishii consultation message board.

For those of you wondering which model and size of board to get next! On the Luvsurf website, I, Nishii, answer your questions. Did you know that we have a consultation bulletin board page ? If you ask the same question on the same topic title multiple times with the same username, The questions and answers are listed in chronological order. Please make good use of it. Among the recent consultations we have received: "I am heavier than the recommended ideal weight listed on the website. Can you ride this model and this size? "Why does the appropriate weight differ depending on the model of board, even if they have the same CL value?" I received several inquiries like this. The common answer to these questions is "What's the answer?" The recommended weight for each model and size is as follows: The performance varies greatly depending on the model's concept. This means that you can get the most out of each model's performance by riding within the appropriate weight range. This riding video was shot by a chubby high school teacher named "Todd" who weighs about 90 kg. PLACEBO 5'8" "CQ EL-DIABLO" This video shows what happens when you ride a board with an ideal weight of 55-65kg . [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/128334322[/vimeo] The board feels small when you hold it in your hand, and when you're riding it, you have to stand quite far forward to move forward, so it's clear that you're a little overweight. This is the same board PLACEBO 5'8" "CQ EL-DIABLO" suitable for weights of 55-65kg . This video shows Nishii, who weighs 60 kg, riding at his ideal weight. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/128557080[/vimeo] You can see how the buoyancy of the board helps you gain speed! "What's the conclusion?" It's more fun to ride a board within the appropriate weight range!

How to apply "FU WAX" in the correct combination?

FU WAX is 100% handmade and carefully produced in a laboratory in Brazil using a secret recipe created by FUAD. FUAD has been holed up in his lab using a secret formula, This is a rare surf wax that can only be produced in quantities of around 1,000 to 1,200 per day. Across the ocean, in Brazil, it is produced in rare varieties. We will explain how to apply "FU WAX" in the correct combination. *Please be sure to use "BASE wax" as the primer. The base wax for "FU WAX" does not contain any oil ingredients. Not only is it hard and does not melt easily even at high temperatures, The wax will not move when pressed with your foot, preventing loss of grip. There is no need to apply a thick top coat unnecessarily. *It is best to mix two types of top coats to apply on top of the base wax. TROPICAL WARM COOL COLD The hardness is from top to bottom, but this is a mix of two of these four seasons. Please combine the following three options. BASE(50%) TROPICAL (40-20%) WARM (10-30%) BASE(50%) WARM (40-20%) COOL (10-30%) BASE(50%) COOL (40-20%) COLD (10-30%) We recommend using the percentage values ​​as a guide and adjusting the amount to suit your water temperature and preferences. FU WAX is a high-performance wax that anyone can experience the difference it makes. In 2014, Luvsurf (LAS OLAS) signed a distribution agreement with Brazil 's FU WAX in Japan, and the company has since brought the world's best surf wax to the Japanese market. It has been proven that most top Japanese athletes, including WCT surfers, use FU WAXER. If you haven't experienced the high performance of "FU WAX" yet, please give it a try. It has become the most popular surf wax in Luvsurf stores, far outselling other surf waxes. It can also be purchased from reputable surf shops across Japan that offer better products to their customers, so please take a look at your local shops. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/11847/ If you would like to order online, please use this.

Must-see! Special technique #1: "How to easily remove FCSII fins!"

Must-see! Special technique #1! "How to easily remove FCSII fins!" Hard My hands hurt! It's hard to get! And so, If you have trouble removing your FCSII fins, we'll teach you Nishii's secret technique. The things I always have when surfing are: "Leash cord" and "towel." Simply put, you release it using a "leash cord." Now, I'll teach you how to do it in three steps. 1. First, lay a folded towel down and hold the snowboard down with one foot. 2. Use your non-dominant hand to release the FCS II fin. Please hold it lightly so that it doesn't fly away. 3. Then, make a loop by rolling up the ankle part of the "leash cord." As shown in the photo, hook the tip of the "FCS II fin" with your dominant hand, Gradually increase the force and pull to remove. Here's a trick to remove it, It's best to hold the ankle part and pull rather than just holding the cord. Even quad fins with many fins can be removed in an instant. After doing this many times, Nishii was able to hold the fin between his toes. If you do, you will be an expert in removing FCS II fins. *Note* Please place your board on carpet, grass, or sand to avoid damaging it. If you absolutely must do it on hard ground, such as an asphalt or gravel parking lot, be sure to lay down a board case, wetsuit, or towel to prevent damage to the board. Also, be careful not to let the fins fly off and damage the board! I think after seeing this, you will love FCSII fins even more. The only board tuning accessory that can change the performance of your board right now. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/category/item/itemgenre/surfboard-accessories/fcsllfins/ Purchase FCSII fins here.

The width and thickness are typical of Japan-only models, It looks like a super competition board, but it's easy to ride. It's a model that makes me very happy. The DIABLO series does not require buoyancy, For those who feel that the SUB-BUGGY model of Kolohe is not enough buoyancy, I was riding the SUB-DRIVER-JP and it was going so well, This is a highly recommended model for those who are considering which other model to ride! As Finn has said before, This "SUB BUGGY-JP" works well in both QUAD and TRI configurations, but... Nishii recommends a QUAD fin setting. We recommend using a larger front fin, such as M or L size! When cutting back to the riding movie we're introducing this time, You'll see the rails of the board wrap around and turn over and over again! Now, let's take a look at the riding video! https://vimeo.com/128560875
