Finished the North American WSL PRO JR in second place. Kei has qualified for the WSL PRO JR World Contest! Apparently the world contest will be held in Australia! Rainbow color custom order "CARBON WRAP" Not the whole board, but just the inside of the carbon. The color coding that is unique to "CARBON WRAP" is great! Taji test rides the V3-STEALTH in Uluwatu, Bali. You can see the outline of the board and Taji's line track clearly. This is a rare photo taken from directly above! They're all self-painted and part of a series of cool boards. Mason Ho's boards for this season. The jagged airbrushed board is my own model that will be released in 2017. The name is planned to be "VOODO CHILD." Mason Ho, who recently won the WSL HIS PRO at Sunset Beach Sunset is their home point, so it was a landslide victory and their second victory. The "V3-STEALTH" has four channels. Mayhem is actively incorporating channels and is quite complete. It seems to be getting very good reviews from riders who have just started riding it. This "V3-STEALTH" CARBON WRAP board has been posted on Instagram countless times by LOST and MAYHEM. It's Nishii's personal board. I'm looking forward to riding it, but although it's completed in the USA, I don't have it in my hands yet. This is a CW custom order board for ``RNF-REDUX''. This color is also nice! Are you interested in the combination of "RNF-REDUX" and "CARBON WRAP"? Of course, Luvsurf also accepts custom orders! Nishii has already placed his order!

Learn moreYesterday I went to Aichi Prefecture with the LOST & PLACEBO surfboard for a test ride.
Yesterday I went to Aichi Prefecture with a LOST & PLACEBO surfboard for a test ride. This is the stone monument point in Irago, the venue for the surfing contest "Honobono Cup." This is a large surfing contest that brings together users who have entered from each Murasaki Sports store in the Chukyo area. At the contest venue, we set up a test board booth for LOST & PLACEBO surfboards and had participants try out a variety of boards. Many people have told me that they read Nishii-san's blog every day. I'm so happy, thank you. I was surprised at how knowledgeable everyone was about LOST & PLACEBO surfboards, with comments like, "I'm interested in the AILIEN!", "What kind of board is the V3-STEALTH?", "I'd like to try the CARBON WRAP next!", etc. The waves for the test ride were waist-high, breaking on the shallow outside and then getting deep in the middle, making it impossible to ride the waves all the way to the inside. As a result, the most popular boards for test rides were the LOST "SUPER-DIABLO" and "DOS-DIBALO", and the PLACEBO "GOBLIN" and "CQ EL-DIABLO". The weather and waves were just right all day, and we had lots of test rides. It was a great tournament. Thanks to all the participants and those involved in the tournament!
Learn moreIntroducing the "FU WAXERS" who use "FU WAX"!
This is Jordy Smith. He actually uses FUWAX in competitions! If you look closely, this is Blue Label, so it's "COOL"! FU WAX is suitable for use as a top coat in water temperatures ranging from semi-dry suit and boot temperatures to temperatures where gloves are needed. This is Jason Shibata, who came to Japan with Coco Ho as the Hawaii Volcom team manager for the QS3000 Chiba Kamogawa. He is well known to Japanese fans by the nickname "Shibats"! The first shop in Chiba Prefecture to start selling FU WAX was the long-established surf shop CHP, located in front of Ichinomiya Sunrise Point. This is because the professional CHP rider, Masakazu Kono, also known as Zuccho, seen in the photo, recognized its performance. This is an essential gear shot of Akira Nakaura JET from the "FU WAX" team. He is active in surfing with his original style and creative work in various genres, and of course, "FU WAX" is one of his gear shots! Kanoa Igarashi won the QS6000, achieved the number one ranking on the QS, and qualified for the 2017 Wild West. He was previously sponsored by other brands, but he still uses FU WAX. This photo was taken before the Wild West heat in Portugal. So cool. This is Kate Matsuoka, a pro surfer known as the barrel junkie from the FU WAX team. He recently went out to the Sea of Japan to surf some big, carved waves. He loves those dangerous waves, so he needs the reliable, non-slip FU WAX. There's a team sticker on his board. This photo was posted on Instagram by FU WAX team rider Hiroto Arai. Hiroto Ohara is also famous as a FU WAXER. I don't think serious surfers like them, who make a living from surfing, would use anything other than FU WAX. When she visited Japan the other day, there were other items available, but she picked it out herself and bought it with her own money. Thank you, Jodie! Anyone who uses FU WAX will notice its obvious 3D grip performance, so it's easy to see why it's called the world's best surf wax!

Learn moreYesterday we held a "FU WAX" demo booth at Hanakago Parking Lot P in Chiba Minami!
Yesterday, we held a `` FU WAX '' demo booth at Hanakago Parking Lot P in Minami Chiba. This is a surfing contest held by Tyrone Surf Shop in Chiba Prefecture. There were plenty of waves and players from all over the country gathered. We had them use "FU WAX" on their boards before practice and games. FU WAX Legend Ambassador, professional golfer Yoshinao Kudo, also attended. Last night, he returned from Brazil after a 40-hour journey and immediately rushed over to help me. This is Hiroto Arai, a professional rider on the FU WAX team. He was participating in the tournament, From people who are serious about surfing and know the difference, *I always use FU! *Now I only use FU WAX! *There are many options out there, but FU WAX is still the best! *Waxing is easy as you only need to apply a thin layer! *It made a difference in my surfing! *It doesn't stick to wetsuits! We received many wonderful comments, such as: Thank you very much. FU WAX is more expensive than other waxes, Not only is the grip performance significantly different, It's also economical because you don't have to apply the ugly, rough paint to the warts. If you are using other products just because they are cheap, but are uneconomical, or if you haven't tried them yet, please click here ! Thanks to the Love Surf team for their help!
Learn moreNew Luvsurf TV release! LOST 『SUB-BUGGY』 CARBON WRAP Masato Yukawa
Luvsurf TV: LOST “ SUB-BUGGY ” CARBON WRAP Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST " SUB-BUGGY " CARBON WRAP FILM&EDIT: Naoki Ono / Music: Hiro Sato This is a riding video of professional surfer Masato Yukawa riding the LOST " CARBON WRAP " surfboard on the waves of Chiba, Japan. The LOST Carbon Wrap surfboard is a super high-performance material that eliminates the wooden stringer in the center of the soft-flexing EPS foam and instead uses patented wrap carbon to optimally adjust the board's flex, resulting in explosive, powerful bounce and high speeds with every turn. The glass layer on the outside of the flexible EPS foam is made of impact-resistant epoxy resin. The reason why "epoxy resin" is less likely to break than regular "polyester resin" is that "epoxy resin" is elastic, so when it receives an impact, its elasticity absorbs the impact and it does not crack as easily as polyester resin. Anyone who has used epoxy resin boards such as XTR, BLACK DART, or PLACEBO will understand how strong they are.The surface strength is incomparable to that of polyester resin boards. Furthermore, the deck of this LOST " CARBON WRAP " surfboard has A special cloth called "X-GLASS" is used. The fabric has straight, white cross fibers called "POLY PRO" woven vertically into the 45-degree cross stitches. Even though the X-GLASS is already strong, the POLY PRO is placed vertically on the board, making it unavoidable for high-performance surfers. When the board tries to break, it will have a high breaking strength. It's been further strengthened. The LOST Carbon Wrap surfboard is made with a flexible EPS foam interior, wrapped in elastic, impact-resistant epoxy resin and X-Glass. The latest patented surfboard technology uses carbon wrapped from the bottom to the deck to create powerful rebound and speed. This is a board that will dramatically improve your surfing. So, let's ride the LOST "CARBON WRAP" surfboard. Check out Masato's riding. The model is the " SUB-BUGGY "! [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/189593447[/vimeo]
