The waves were smaller so the HURLEY PRO and SWATCH WOMENS PRO were closed today.
The waves were smaller so the HURLEY PRO and SWATCH WOMENS PRO were closed today. Even though I said I'd gone down in size, it's still about this size. The water was too small for a WCT tournament and new swells were coming in on Monday, so today was a rest day. Since it was a Saturday, gallery attendees and photographers had flocked to the beach from early in the morning. The photographer who accompanied us, Mr. Masuda, was going to take pictures with an underwater camera, Nishii also surfed and had his photo taken. It was early morning on a lay day, so the WCT players hadn't gathered yet, John John, It contained free papers and other things. The board Nishii is riding is the in-form LOST ``CONQUEST EL-DIABLO'' HydroFlex EF,C. The paddle and takeoff are as fast as those of WCT athletes, allowing you to surf comfortably! The LOST "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model is Once you're over 40, it's difficult to ride the same board as when you were 20. Recommended for those who have been trying too hard with competition point nose boards and are no longer able to catch waves! I'll report back tomorrow! Posted by Luvsurf .

Due to the time difference between our local times, this report is from LOWERS, California on Friday, September 12th. Today was a lay day for the WCT event. This meant that WCT surfers were taking turns surfing in the ocean. We would like to introduce the riders who rode LOST/MAYHEM boards. ALL PHOTOS by Hayato Masuda Travis Roggie was practicing the fastest backhand lip in the WCT. He uses this board during matches and it seems to work well. In round 2, he will be matched up against Kolohe Andino, who will also be riding the same LOST/MAYHEM board. Jamie Florence is good at turning around by holding the rail under the lip, If I can do that repeatedly in one wave, I think I can win the heat. In the next round, he will face off against the formidable Kelly Slater. I always practice "Coco Ho" early in the morning. It's a sponsored event, so I'm really excited. His surfing seems to be smooth and good no matter what wave he rides. Noah Beschen is not a WCT player, He is a WCT prospect who trains with Kolohe. It reminds me of Kolohe from a few years ago. Kolohe Andino wants to win in his hometown. It makes me forget that I was caught in a cycle of no waves yesterday. The surfing was better than yesterday. It has such a sharp curve in such a slow wave section. The track of the turn is deeper than before, The way he turns the board is modeled after Mick Fanning, who he has publicly stated he models his style on. It has a nice sharpness and accent. He easily made airs and stealth airs with grabs and reverse rails behind him. This will be a high point, so I hope he succeeds in the heat. During a break in filming, Nishii took advantage of the vacant space left by the rider on the LOST/MAYHEM board. I surfed. I tried to model my turn after that of a WCT player. It's obvious, but the levels are different. You can get a good idea by comparing photos or watching your own riding on video. There were a ton of WCT surfers in the ocean, so it was hard to catch any set waves. Nishii rides a LOST CONQUEST EL-DIABLO HydroFlex EF,C. The combination of this model and this material is very fast and works great. I'll report back tomorrow! Posted by Luvsurf .
Learn moreThe day before the WCT! A report from LOWERS, where the world's top men's and women's teams gathered!
This is a report from two days before the start of the WCT HURLEY PRO and SWATCH PRO . The person riding the mini shuttle was Adam Melling, all three of which were LOST/MAYHEM boards This is the VS-SB model of Alejo Moniz, who was sitting next to me. It's a slightly yellowed magic board and is apparently for actual use. Travis Roggie seems to be in good form, delivering a series of sharp lip syncs. Kei Kobayashi from TEAM Luvsurf rushes into the ocean after school. It's a great environment to be able to surf alongside WCT athletes. Noah Beschen also came from Hawaii to practice. It's important to be in this environment if you want to join the WCT tour in the future. Chris Ward's daughter, Maria Ward, was also surfing alongside the WCT competitors. She went nude surfing and dramatically increased her Instagram followers. Coco Ho is even sponsored by Audi. Kolohe Andino's father is now his coach. Carissa Moore is doing great, even better than yesterday. There are plenty of waves, so the Harley PRO will start as scheduled tomorrow. There will also be a women's event, so we will report again tomorrow from LOWERS, where the world's top men and women have gathered! Posted by Luvsurf .

"SUB-BUGGY" is a big hit with daily posts! We have received many inquiries and consultations! thank you! I'm sure you're wondering about this. The SUB-BUGGY model used by Kolohe is on display in the store, so If you come to our store, you will be able to see the real thing and pick it up, so we'd like to let you know. Eh, I can't go to the store... I took some photos for this customer and will post them here. Nose from the deck side It is finer than the SUB-DRIVER. Nose from the bottom side Aggressive form with a sharp nose that looks like it could be swung around When I grabbed the rail, The rails are slightly thinner, inherited from the BEACH BUGGY. It is clearly thinner than the SUB-DRIVER. When you look at the tail from the bottom, You can see that the shape of the SUB-DRIVER has become thinner. Looking at the tail from the deck... It has a squash tail design with a straight line from the front of the front fin. The board size is the usual standard Kolohe size, This model has a slimmer rocker than the SUB-DRIVER I usually ride. If you are competition oriented or aiming for high performance surfing, be sure to try this as your next board. Posted by Luvsurf .

Luvsurf TV: LOST "SUB-BUGGY" Kolohe Andino 2014 US Open Rider: Kolohe Andiono Board used: LOST "SUB-BUGGY" FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a collection of surfing footage of Kolohe Andino riding the SUB-BUGGY at the 2014 ASP Prime event, the US-OPEN, held in Huntington Beach. Kolohe is adept at navigating the unique wave conditions of HB, which are different from those on the WCT tour, with wind blowing into the surf, waves breaking on the outside, thickening in the deeper water, then reforming again and breaking on the inside. On the outside, where the waves are not steep, he weights the board and makes twisting turns to produce spray. This type of wave is common in Japan, so this backside twisting action is a great example to follow. When riding waves, other surfers hit their boards and do a Huntington hop, but Kolohe also shows off his technique of switching rails to propel the board forward, so be sure to check it out. The surfing lines are sharper and the lip and air action are sharper than when riding the wider SUB-DRIVER model. Let's look forward to seeing what Kolohe does with the SUB-BUGGY model!

Luvsurf TV: LOST MAYHEM V2-SB by Tyler Wright 2014 HB Rider: Tyler Wright Board used: LOST MAYHEM 『V2-SB』 FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM At the 2014 US Open in Huntington Beach, California, This is a collection of Taylor Wright riding the MAYHEM V2-SB model. The waves were worse than last year and the other competitors struggled, but Taylor Wright overcame the bad waves to take the victory. She is one of the few women who can do air jumps. During the match, he also performed no-glove airs, exciting the gallery. I rode this same V2-SB model from the early rounds, He maneuvered in the occasional waist-high waves and earned points without giving up. Even in bad waves, the V2-SB model's rocket-like form is utilized. Check out the quick turn and top-cutting performance. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/104169698[/vimeo]

Luvsurf TV: MAYHEM "DRIVER" POLYESTER ADAM MELLING Rider: Adam Melling Board used: MAYHM 5'10" 『DRIVER』POLYESTER FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a collection of Adam Melling riding the DRIVER model, filmed at the 2014 US Open. This board is an old one made in September 2013, and Adam Melling keeps it as a magic board for beach break contests. A WCT-class athlete will test ride nearly 100 boards a year. Take care of the board that is in good condition for the waves and don't ride it normally. Apparently he has an important board that he only rides during matches. This DRIVER is apparently one of them. His incredible surfing style relies on his strong legs and hips to ride even the smallest waves that other surfers would struggle to ride. At the US Open, the waves were small and of poor quality, and the largest set seen in this video was this one. Watch as he demonstrates his technique of using the thickness of his driver to ride through rough waves. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/104217871[/vimeo]＊ Posted by Luvsurf .

Luvsurf TV:LOST "SUB-SCORCHER2" Masato Yukawa Masato Yukawa@CALIFORNIA 2014 SPRING PART 2 Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST 『SUB-SCORCHER2』 POLYESTER FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM It's the same model as the riding video we released the other day, This is a collection of Masato riding on the green board, another magic board, the SUB-SCORCHER2. This photo was taken in California during the spring season of 2014, and the backside is mostly a beach break called Salt Creek, while the frontside is a boulder-bottom point break called Lower Trestles. The board design has volume under the chest, so it can keep up with waves that would leave the person next to you behind when paddling. As expected, the SUB-SCORCHER2 model has a quick takeoff. Please take a look at the head position in the four pictures below. Most of the time, the board and body move with the head in the same position. Try to imitate the position of this backside turn. This is a great example of how to master vertical movements. The lip and turn are speedy and quick, and the board swings and spray flies, Take a look at how he surfs with such ease that it deserves to be called a magic board.
