Introducing the world's top athletes and legends known as "FU WAXERS"!
We will introduce you to the world's top athletes and legends known as "FU WAXERS." Martin Potter He's a former world champion and currently provides commentary for WSL LIVE. Travis Loggie He retired from the WSL this year, but his sharp turns are as shown here. Mark Healy Famous big wave surfer, Pipe Master Shane Beschen No explanation needed, he also came to Love Surf when the WCT was held in Japan. John John Florence He's addicted to FU WAX. Dane Reynolds Dane is one of those FU WAX addicts and has been well known for a long time. Julian Wilson It's not widely known, but he uses it too. Miguel Pupo That's only natural, since he's a Brazilian player. Brad Simpson In the US, he appears in advertisements for FU WAX. Fred Pataccia He could still be a player, but unfortunately he has retired from the WSL. Gabriel Medina As everyone knows, he was the world champion last year and is still aiming to win it again this year. Alejo Moniz I am currently recovering from a serious injury. Jamie Florence An iconic French professional surfer. Kelly Slater If Kelly uses it, then it must be the best wax in the world. Flipe Drade I think he's the fastest surfer on small beach break waves. Ross Williams and Shane Dorian Everyone loves "FU WAX"! Other manufacturers felt the crisis and released new waxes, but they were not accepted. There are many other new waxes being released, but if you want to surpass "FU WAX", I think the people introduced here will also end up using different waxes. As the water temperature and air temperature begin to drop, applying WARM on top of BASE and then a little COOL will give you the best 3D grip! Please give it a try. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/11847/ You can purchase it here!

You can see the head position and posture before standing up to make takeoff faster! Luvsurf TV: LOST 5'4” “CRAZY POTATO” Koji Nishii Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: LOST 5'4" "CRAZY POTATO" FILM: Hayato Masuda EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM The quick take-off has been inherited from the LAYZ POTATO, so if you lean forward enough to press your chin against the board like Nishii did in the first jump, you'll be able to slide out of the swells very quickly. This posture is important for a faster takeoff. Your head is the heaviest part of the board, so by using that weight, the board will point downwards and fall faster. The position of your head before standing up is important, so please take this into consideration. The "CRAZY POTATO" is a fast model that allows you to ride smoothly. The double wing squash tail is small and very sensitive, It can also respond instantly to unexpected changes in wave breaks at beach breaks where the wind is not right and the waves are bad. Now, please take a look at this riding video of a hybrid model with half of the nose being SHORT ROUND and half of the tail being LAYZ POTATO. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/138455278[/vimeo]
Learn moreJapan-exclusive LOST surfboard new 2016 model unveiled!
"FISHQUEST" from LOST and PLACEBO I'm sure you all remember the "FISHQUEST II" model. These FQs developed the CONQUEST (TABELT) to be shorter and easier to move in, and to make paddling faster and more comfortable in small waves. It was a high-buttboard that also had the elements of a fish, with excellent stable paddle balance. The Diablo series includes "CONQUSET EL-DIABLO" and "DOS-DIABLO." Why is the FISHQUEST board positioned like this? Have you ever wondered why there aren't any shorter boards available??? Amazingly, development of such a board has been progressing under the surface...! We had hoped to announce and release this model in the spring of 2015, but Mayhem wanted to be a board that surpassed the previous model, so in order to further mature the board design, they held off on releasing it in 2015 and took more time to develop and test the design. Today, we are finally able to make that board available to everyone. "Elevator Wing, Stealth Tail"!!! It will be released as a 2016 model! The model name is the little devil "GOBLIN"! As some of you may know, a "GOBLIN" is a legendary evil creature. The name perfectly captures the performance of this board. Nishii immediately placed an order for a custom BLACK DART model with this color design. Custom orders are also accepted, so please consider them! The stock board is First up, the following boards will be available in clear POLYESTER finish. LOST『GOBLIN』POLYESTER 5FINS/FCSII・JPY 150,000 +tax Board Size 5' 4" x 20.13" x 2.56" (163 x 51.1 x 6.5 cm) 32.0 cl 50-65kg 5' 5" x 20.25"x 2.63" (165 x 51.4 x 6.68cm) 33.41 cl 55-70kg 5'6" x 20.38" x 2.68" (168 x 51.8 x 6.8 cm) 35.0 cl 60-75kg 5'7" x 20.50" x 2.75" (170 x 52.0 x 7.0 cm) 36.63cl 65-80kg 5'8" x 20.63" x 2.88" (173 x 52.4 x 7.3 cm) 39.0 cl 70-85kg 5'9" x 20.75" x 2.91"(175 x 52.7 x 7.4 cm) 40.61 cl 75-90kg 5'10" x 20.88" x 2.94" (178 x 53.0 x 7.5 cm) 43.0 cl 80-95kg The first shipments of these board sizes are scheduled for February-March 2016.

Luvsurf TV: LOST "SUB-BUGGY" Kolohe Andino LOWER PRIME 2015 Rider: Kolohe Andiono Board used: LOST 『SUB-BUGGY』 FILM & EDIT:TABRIGADE FILM This is a video of her riding at the Oakley Pro WQS held in San Clemente Lowers, California in May 2015. The riding video posted on Luvsurf not only lets you see the unique movements of this model, but also serves as a great example of her surfing technique. This riding video includes a lot of backside riding. The backside huck turn is repeated many times, but the way the hips are twisted, the hips are pushed out, and the position where the head is lower than the hips is very exemplary, so please watch the entire movement over and over again. This front side kick, where the back leg is extended until it is straight, is also a technique that you will want to try. Now, take a look at the amazing riding of Kolohe Andino, who has a flexible body that allows him to recover from such a position . [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/128668964[/vimeo]

STAB IN THE DARK Julian Wilson x Matt "MAYHEM" Biolos We would like to introduce a project carried out by STAB Magazine, a US surf magazine. To 16 shapers, No mark Without a signature I shaped a surfboard for Julian Wilson. The project involves riding and filming the different boards, and then asking Julian Wilson for his impressions of the boards. The "Julian Wilson" project is about not knowing whose board it is, Nishii thinks Julian Wilson is very sensitive about his board, Especially considering the history of riding the LOST MAYHEM board. It would have been immediately obvious which was the LOST MAYHEM board. This board model is Julian Wilson's favorite It's the LOST "DRIVER" model, after all. The fins are made of fiberglass, which allows light to pass through beautifully. This is the FCSII JW model . It features a slightly smaller center fin. This is a unique model that is not found in other TRI sets, as it makes it easy to launch with AIR and makes top turns lighter. Here is an interview with Matt "MAYHEM" Biolos. #31 Julian Wilson riding the LOST MAYHEM board JW's thoughts are... I love the feel of this board. Right or left, it's great in any wave. The spice of this board is the feeling of excitement. It's technically capable of high performance movements. That's what they say. It looks like it's going really well, so please take a look.

Learn moreA must-see for those who are not good at backside turns! A video by French surfer Joan Duru!
This is a must-see for those who are not good at backside turns. A video of French rider Joan Duru riding LOST's SUB-BUGGY has been released. Luvsurf TV:LOST "SUB-BUGGY" Joan Duru Rider: Joan Duru Board used: LOST 『SUB-BUGGY』 FILM:Koji Nishii EDIT:TABRIGADE FILM He is not a very well-known surfer in Japan, but he is a professional surfer in France. He is a talented surfer representing France, having placed 20th in the WQ ranking in 2014 and 14th as of today, November 1st, in 2015. Please take a look at his solid rail work and how he pushes the board well. Even after performing the trick, he keeps his foot firmly on the tail. This will make the line thicker, increase the spray and give your riding a more powerful look. The air is also good, The thing I want you to see and emulate most this time is this low stance before entering a backside bottom turn. Like Joan, you act like a compressed spring, and by extending your body after the turn, you can extend the turn. This is common among people who are not good at backsides, but if you stay standing up you won't be able to gain speed into the turn and therefore won't extend. Try to emulate Joan's low stance. Now, please enjoy the video of Joan riding the LOST SUB-BUGGY ! [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/128667828[/vimeo]
Learn more"Mason Ho's First Time at Teahupo'o in Tahiti" published in US Surfing
"Mason Ho's First Teahupo'o" All of Mason's boards were very small and made for waves with a lip. I guess they were planning to do something about the board on site. He didn't have a board. He was kind of stressed out trying to find a board to ride the waves there. He was on the phone almost all night asking different people to try and get him a board, and eventually Judson Andre got him one. It was a board that was in the garage where we were staying. It was 6'8", clearly too big a board for Mason, but he did it. We went out in the boat with great force in the big waves. There were a lot of people paddling around trying to tow in. It was a cloudy day with big waves, a completely terrifying situation. If that makes sense, it always breaks in roughly the same place, on the south side, so we went down there and sat and watched from the boat. Mason was trembling and screaming. I could see from his eyes that he really wanted to go. In fact, he ended up injuring his arm during the first wave. but, I shook that off and rode several more trains. Tie up with the most frozen one, He gave us the peace sign in the barrel. After the session he said: "I don't know why I've never been here before in my life! This is my new favorite wave." His leg was bleeding and injured, but Mason kept surfing, as expected. Currently in Portugal, the WSL is aiming for the world title with Julian Wilson. In the R2 heat, Relax and enjoy the experience of free surfing with tubes and air. Mason, who achieved a big victory, He follows Ward's animal-inspired surfing style and is a surfer who is typical of the LOST team.
