We will explain how to properly apply "FU WAX" for winter use.
In a small factory in Brazil, It is a secret recipe that only FU can make, and is 100% handmade, carefully mixed and produced over and over again, taking time and effort. For several months, the products are shipped to Japan and used by highly discerning surfers who don't compromise on surfing goods. We will explain how to properly apply "FU WAX" for winter use. *To create the base, first apply "BASE". The Nishii method involves carefully applying the FU WAX without leaving any gaps, as if painting a picture, by pressing the FU WAX horizontally from the stringer to the rail for about 20 to 25 cm. Once you have painted the entire board, paint another 20-25cm lengthwise in the same way. Apply "FU WAX" by pressing it down. If you have been riding a POLY board for a long time, it will have many dents and bumps, so if you try to smooth out those dents with FU WAX , there will be some areas that are not covered, so it is better to make the edges a little sharper as shown in the photo so that the FU WAX can get into the dents as well. This is the amount of "BASE" used after applying it vertically and horizontally. Apply approximately 1/4 to 1/5 of the amount to a standard shortboard. This is just the right amount. *As a mid-coat, Apply "COOL" on top of "BASE". Apply it more thinly than when you applied "BASE", carefully and carefully, leaving no gaps, as if you were coloring a picture, pressing down about 20-25cm vertically and 20-25cm horizontally to ensure no areas are left unpainted. *As a top coat, Apply a very thin coat of "COLD" in the same way. Apply it carefully and thinly in both vertical and horizontal directions without leaving any areas uncoated to achieve a perfect grip. We recommend a mix of all three! The finished surface will look like this. Unlike other surf waxes, you need to apply it carefully to get it to look like this. Just by looking at it, it looks like it will have incredible grip! Unlike previous waxes that only grip horizontally, FU WAX does not require you to create bumps to grip left and right. "FU WAX" is a "3D surf wax" that grips and tucks not only left and right, but also upwards, so be sure to apply it carefully and skillfully so that no areas are left uncoated. I often see people applying wax only to the front of their board, leaving the top of their deck grips unapplied, but in surfing you can ride on the unapplied parts, so be sure to apply wax to the entire board, including the nose. Applying wax all the way to the nose keeps your hands from slipping, so when you're waiting for a wave and moving to catch it, you can move quickly, and there's a big difference between having wax applied and not applying it, allowing you to move better! Please refer to the PRO board to see where the wax is applied. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/11847/ Purchase "FU WAX" here!

It doesn't seem to bother with small waves, and it glides smoothly over the waves like a UFO. It's an exhilarating ride across the waves! I tested various fin settings, I ended up adding the "AUROLA REY" to a slightly larger QUAD set. For BEAN BAG riders between 5'0" and 5'5", we recommend the MB 5fins set (size M) . For BEAN BAG riders between 5'6" and 5'10", we recommend the MB 5fins set L size . We recommend making it a QUAD and adding "AUROLA REY" to the center. Larger boards up to 5'10 can be ridden by heavier riders! Shonan, Isonoura, Chiba, the Sea of Japan, anywhere. It's the best when riding small waves! I would recommend this board to anyone who wants more buoyancy and who often surfs in weak, runny waves with long boards. It has a wide range, but it moves quickly and lightly, and has straightforward control performance with no quirks. The LOST "BEAN BAG" model is We recommend choosing a higher CL value, around 6 CL. We have received several inquiries asking if it will be released as a pre-release in 2016. We would also like to inform you that this will not be released as a pre-release.

Learn more about LOST's "CARBON WRAP" surfboard! These are the specifications for the production version of the popular LOST "CARBON WRAP" board. This is the "CARBON WRAP" mark, which was used during development. The smallest letters say "PATENT PENDING." This means "patent pending." This "CARBON WRAP" mark is included on products sold. The smallest letters on this say "PATENTED." This means that the product is a "patented product" and is proof that a patent has been obtained. Also see the difference in carbon used. The board on the left is under development, and the one on the right is the production version. The carbon in the center of the board is different. It is connected to the deck from the bottom and is wound up from the rail. As you can see, the two carbon fibers are different types between the development version and the final product. In this way, we aim to make the LOST Carbon Wrap surfboard even better. We continued to test and develop the product by changing the carbon material and the glass used. We are now accepting custom orders for LOST's "CARBON WRAP." Please consider it! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=33746

Nishii has returned from her job as a flight attendant and will be working at the Love Surf store starting today, the 11th (Friday)! This is the LOST TEAM board in San Clemente, This is a warehouse where boards for trade shows are stocked. Like LOST, it's colorful yet uses cutting-edge materials. It was produced with pride in the brand concept of "high performance and high quality." There are lots of boards stored. This is Catalyst, a glass shop that specializes in Mayhem's POLY boards. Currently, the custom order LOST mark is the red circle LOST mark in the increasingly popular "tie-dye" color! This is the LOST surfboard headquarters warehouse, located in another location. This is a photo of the ROCKET tail of the ``PUDDLE JUMPER-JP'', which I've been enjoying riding for a while now, when it was finished. This one was not finished well when it was finished, so I had it remade. This is a custom-ordered BEAN BAG board from a Japanese customer. In this way, even minor imperfections in the finish that would be considered perfectly acceptable in the USA market are not a problem. At Love Surf, we have thorough quality control so that you can purchase our boards with confidence. After completing daily meetings with Mayhem, Nishii returned to Japan last night. I will be working at the Love Surf store starting today, Friday the 11th, and look forward to seeing you there!
Learn moreEarly morning barrel and air session with LOST's "DRIVER" Masato Yukawa at Grubs!
LOST DRIVER x Masato Yukawa This afternoon, I took Masato, who was flying to Japan, and we went to Grubbs in Salt Creek at dawn to take some photos. Today Masato chose the magic board he brought from Japan, the LOST "DRIVER" POLY . Early in the morning, I barrel rode the first wave I found in the dim ocean. This is a shore break and looks like a damper wave at first glance, The waves are deep so it's great for photography. Even carving the waves to the inside makes for a picturesque scene. The local birds were also very interested in Masato as he flew around. This is Nishii's favorite shot of the day. The LOST "DRIVER" is a high-performance model with a thick center and thin rails. This is a Mayhem masterpiece, created through a collaboration between Julian Wilson and Mayhem, with repeated test rides and design adjustments. This model was released a few years ago, but it's one of Mayhem's classics. It's currently available for custom order!
