New Luvsurf TV: LOST “SUB-SCORCHER2” Masato Yukawa

Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased many boards during the Golden Week holidays!

Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many boards! Mr. A, You have selected the Placebo "SUB-TABLET" FLEXLITE-TURBO specification. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/placebo/sub-tablet We have been using RIPQUEST, and this time we found this one attractive because the rails are thin and the maneuverability is excellent. We received a purchase of the limited edition "SUB-TABLET." As it is a limited edition model of 100 units, it is likely to be out of stock soon, so if you are considering purchasing one, please do so soon before they are sold out. This model is the best value as it also comes with WARD3 fins. Mr. B, The customer chose the LOST "SUB-DRIVER-JP" XTR 3D CARBOLIC specification. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/sub-driver-jp Because he is small, the stockboards sold in stores at ordinary surf shops are not big enough for him to ride. He was having trouble finding a place to stock them, but he said he was very happy that Love Surf's board stock meets the needs of more people than anywhere else. He came to the store to consult with us and purchased the ``SUB-DRIVER-JP'' model, which was just in stock and in a size that was not listed on the website and met his needs. Mr. C said, You have selected the Placebo "RNF-EVOLUTIN" FLEXLITE-TURBO specification. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/placebo/rnf-evolution-p He has ridden many LOST&Placebo surfboards, but this was his first surf trip, so he was looking for a board that he could ride even on days with small waves, and he decided on the Lancer Evolution model.We consulted him about the size when he came to the store, and he purchased it. Mr. D, LOST "BEACH BUGGY" POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch specification was selected. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/beach-buggy He has ridden quite a lot of boards. He has a weakness for new models and wanted to try one out at least once. He referred to the descriptions of each model and the performance comparison radar chart posted on the website, and after consulting with us, he decided on a board that would suit his level and needs. Mr. E, LOST "BEACH BUGGY" POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch specification was selected. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/beach-buggy Please check out the information on our website about the large stock of boards we have in stock in store, and compare the different sizes of boards. The customer was very satisfied with the purchase. The grip is the new Dakine Bread Simpson model. This model is very popular. Mr. F, LOST "COUTH POTATO" POLYESTER resin tint specification was selected. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/couch-potato We received inquiries about size and other details via our email inquiry form, and we also informed the customer of upcoming arrivals, and the customer purchased this Lucky Busters glass board with tiny glitter. The next day, the customer rode it for the first time, and wrote to us in a message saying, "The response at takeoff was incredibly fast, even faster than a Tablet. It's wide and well-balanced, so it's stable both at takeoff and while riding, and I was able to ride longer than usual. Thank you for the wonderful board!" We received a message from the customer with such wonderful impressions! Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many boards! During the Golden Week Love Surf, many customers came to our store every day to choose their board. Thank you so much for keeping me so busy every day. Golden Week is over, but the hot summer is coming. Oh, and before that, the rainy season with its small waves is here. If you have several boards to suit each season and the wave conditions, you will be able to enjoy surfing holidays whether the waves are good or bad, big or small. I want a board that's more like this than the one I rode in Golden Week! Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Please contact us here for consultation! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact.html If you have already decided on the model and size of your next bike and would like to ride it by next weekend, please use our mail order service. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/ You can take your time choosing your board without worrying about time, and purchase it from our "WEB STORE" 24 hours a day!

Of course, the bike that Taji is riding is a BEACH BUGGY . Newport Wedge, Mason, waves from last week. Jamie Carter went from long hair to short hair. The other day, I was holding hands with him in the ocean, waiting for the waves, and when the set came in, we rode the waves. I held hands with him again and we waited for the waves. Starting this year, Kolohe's sponsor has changed from Nike to Hurley. Evan Geiselman has the new LOST DVD, which is 4 hours and 20 minutes long. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/category/item/itemgenre/dvd/ It's sold here. This is what you'll wear this summer of 2013!

This is Taji's latest board, the WHIPLASH-TB . The Rastaline boards that Mason self-painted are two V2-ROCKETs and a COUCH POTATO . This is also Mason, the Newport wedge from last week. Berger and Mason at San Clemente LOWERS, where temperatures continue to exceed 30 degrees. Ward has a TEAM sticker on the nose of his car in front of his house. Terry's new work really looks like it's smoking. Kolohe's flexible body means his surfing lines are thicker than last year's. Julian is also moving from Nike to Hurley. In the WCT, you can't win with just air, so you need power turns like this that produce spray. Berger and Mason are good friends and are part of V2-ROCKET . This is the cover shot. The person filming Taji is on a jet ski with a GoPro attached to a stick. He's very skillful. JW's mom wrote it on Julian's board. Pink Minnie tells Mickey that she's had a breast cancer test. It's cool, JW. What does it say on the bottom? This is Mason writing the Rasta color line we saw earlier. There are still many more, so I'll introduce them next time. Well, everyone, there are only three days left until Golden Week, so I hope you all enjoy the good times.

Today we had a test ride event with KI Surf at Yoshizakihama in the northern Chiba area.

Today we had a test ride event with KI Surf at Yoshizakihama in the northern Chiba area. The weather was nice and the beach was crowded with surfers and clam diggers! We were expecting small waves today, so we prepared boards mainly for small waves. Offshore in the morning and onshore in the late afternoon. The most popular test rides were the `` COUCH POTATO ,'' `` BEACH BUGGY, '' and `` SUB-SCORCHER2 .'' We also asked you to try FU WAX . Why does it have such good grip despite being so thin? Some people were impressed and immediately purchased it. He is surfing small waves faster than long waves with ease on the test 6'0" LAYZ OCRA . You'll want to try out LOST's new model, the BEACH BUGGY ! This is what it looked like when the tide was out. This person rode the 6'0" LAYZ OCRA test bike a lot! This person, who had never ridden a plane with a round nose, was surprised by how quick and fun the COUCH POTATO was to take off for the first time. Nishii also took out the " LAYZ ORCA " for a few rides, but even at the crowded long-distance spots during Golden Week, Since we started off with the swell, we were able to ride only the good SET waves without any stress. The high-performance model SUB-SCORCHER2 has a good reputation for small waves. KI Surf has put up a display of the "Available" sign marking stores that stock FU WAX! There are still a few BASE bottles left, which are sold out at Luvsurf! The person who took the test ride immediately placed a custom order. The model was the " SUB-DRIVER-JP " It's XTR 3D CARBOLIC! I would like to thank everyone who participated in the test ride, Mr. Iida of KI Surf and all the staff, and everyone who helped out. Thank you everyone for your hard work!

Luvsurf TV: LOST "BEACH BUGGY" Joe Alani Rider: Joe Alani Board used: LOST 5'10" "BEACH BUGGY" POLYESTER FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT：TABRIGADE FILM First riding movie! Joe Alani is known to those in the know as LOST's exclusive videographer. Yes, he is the person who films and edits WARD stories. He's not a professional surfer, but he won the Newport Pro Am contest. He is good at surfing. If you watch this video clip, you'll see how good it is. There are no unnecessary turns, no unnecessary handling or hitting of the board, no unnecessary movements. Please take a look and you will see an example of how to actually surf like this, with the direction of your body movement and how to swing your arms to make the line look bigger. He usually films skilled professionals and observes their body movements to imagine them in order to incorporate them into his own work. Apparently, that's how you move your body when you actually surf. If you observe how skilled surfers approach the waves, how they take their lines, and how they turn and time their tricks, You can become as good as Joe, so watch your favorite surfer's riding over and over again, Please try to imitate it. Joe's style is a cross between Ward and Gorkin. Apparently Joe's best board recently is Taji's rough wave model, the BEACHBUGGY! == ...

Luvsurf TV: LOST "BEACH BUGGY" Kei Kobayashi Rider: Kei Kobayashi Board used: LOST 4'10" "BEACH BUGGY" POLYESTER FILM :Masaki Kobayashi EDIT：TABRIGADE FILM This is the latest surf clip from Kei Kobayashi. His body has clearly grown since the riding video on the website a few years ago. As a result, his surfing lines have become larger, the amount of spray he produces has increased, and his techniques have also improved dramatically. His carving turns using rails are now better than those of adults. This is the lip with the tail and fins removed, taking advantage of the flexibility of the body! Recently, this type of layback turn has also become a variation. Kei, now 14 years old, loves big waves and rides the wave that MAYHEM and TAJI teamed up to create.

New Luvsurf TV: Placebo 『V3-ROCKET』Chris Ward

Luvsurf TV: Placebo 5'9" 『V3-ROCKET』Chris Ward Board used: Placebo 5'9" "TITAN" FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a video of Chris Ward riding a V3-ROCKET at a beach break. Chris liked to ride both the ROCKET and V2-ROCKET, so this V3-ROCKET is also part of the same Rocket series. He showed off his sharp riding skills right from the first run without any problems. He said that the soft double wing hooks and makes it easy to ride on the backside, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who isn't good at backside riding. The carbon stripe built into the bottom of the Flecklite Turbo also serves as a center stringer. Ward, who always rides a POLY board, also said, "I can ride it without any discomfort even from a POLY board." Swinging the nose around, spraying the tail, Even when you hit it into the curl, the double soft wing hooks it and it seems to work well. Glide your lip fin-free, This board can also do vertical lipping. It is easier to drive and perform than the V2. This is the V3-ROCKET. The wide point is in the front just like the Stealth, so it takes off faster than the TITAN model. This is a model that we would recommend as your next ride after RIPQUEST. == ... This new model, the V3-ROCKET, is available in three sizes: 5'7", 5'9", and 5'11". == ... Just got it in stock the other day! We currently have a few boards available for immediate riding, so if you'd like to ride to your heart's content during Golden Week, please consider purchasing one soon.

This is a report on the LOST&Placebo test drive event held today.

This is a report on the LOST&Placebo test drive event held today. Today's most popular test ride board is this! Placebo "V3-ROCKET" model! The rocker is a little low, but it's still good, so it's no problem even in deep waves. The wide point is in the front, so you can paddle with your weight on the front when taking off. It was well-received for its quick takeoff even in strong offshore waves like today's. It was windy and raining heavily, so we installed and removed the fins inside the shed. By the way, we tried setting up a tent, but it got blown away, so we had to remove it immediately. The usual LOST and Placebo flags were also unable to withstand the strong winds so were closed today. Despite the bad weather, many people took a test drive. There were three BEACH BUGGY models, but they are always available for loan, so they are new models as expected! The SUB-TABLET was also popular among skilled surfers, as the board moved well and the waves were large enough for them to try out on today's waves. Of course, TABLET2 was also very popular. Even the couch potatoes got to try out the brand new board. The new fins that Mayhem designed and developed for Japan were also tried out and received rave reviews! The break is a good overhead sized wave that continues slowly to the inside. Prepare about 20 Placebos. We also had about 20 LOST boards prepared, so today people were free to ride about 40 of them as test boards. The waves were in excellent condition! The wave information only had a score of 25. Nishii's score was 80 points, with 20 points deducted due to strong winds. The event was held in front of the Ohara parking lot in Minami Chiba. We also had everyone try out the much talked about "FU WAX" which is on the verge of selling out, and everyone commented that it was amazing. Thanks to everyone who participated and helped run the event. thank you. == ... We would like to inform you of the days and times that Nishii will be working at the shop. == ...
