Luvsurf TV:Placebo “SUB-TABLET” Hiroki Shirakawa Rider: Hiroki Shirakawa Board used: Placebo 5'11" SUB-TABLET FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This SUB-TABLET is a tablet with a thin, sharp rail that can also be used as a lip. The rocker, rail shape, and board outline are based on the Mayhem, a best-selling Precevo model. This is a model that has been adjusted to a performance model design for the TABLET. In this riding video, the paddle moves quickly and the takeoff is surprisingly quick. You can see that it has excellent performance that allows you to surf with quick movements. It has the potential to be used in beach break contests where the waves are not powerful, MAYHEM developed this design to suit Japanese waves. The spinning, surfboard-like design and the powerful acceleration of the FLEXLITE-TURBO. Experience the flex performance that allows anyone to easily bring out its smooth rebound performance.

Learn moreBefore dawn, we crossed the border into Mexico.
This morning I picked up SHAW in San Clemente, and before the night ended, We crossed the border and headed to Mexico. Our destination is San Miguel. Photographer Masuda, who has been stationed in Ventura, California since last month, is also accompanying us. The new board is the Lost "DRIVER" model. The fins are AUROLA "TRIPLE RAZER". This is a commemorative photo of us meeting up with Masaki and Kei, who had been in Mexico since last week, before the session. Walk from the Kobayashi family's second house to the point. It looks Mexican. SHAW has a soft ride, is durable, easy to handle, light and has good handling. A corkboard of the RNF-EVOLUTION, which he has recently taken a liking to. This board is made from a very precious material with limited production, and only 15 units were imported to Japan in 2012. The first shipment will be available in Japan at the end of December, so if you're early, you'll be able to ride it on your first surf of the new year. It will be available in three models: RNF-EVOLUTION, UB-DRIVER-JP, and V2-ROCKET. We will be stocking five of each stockboard size, so if you are interested, please call 03-3732-5532 or Please contact us here. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact.html Nishii's driver is 5'9". KEI is also a driver. The waves are head-high fan waves. We had the beach almost to ourselves, so we were able to take videos and photos.

The first 50 customers will receive an AUROLA WRAd5 with free fins! As of today, December 2nd, you still have time! We have received many inquiries about the "SUB-TABLET," which has been released in a limited run of 100 units. We have already received many orders! Thank you very much! Today, please take a look at the much talked about "SUB-TABLET" riding video by Nishii. Luvsurf TV:Placebo “SUB-TABLET” Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: Placebo 5'11" SUB-TABLET FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM & EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This model takes the excellent design of the TABLET model and brings it closer to a high-performance board, with Mayhem adjusting the balance of rails, rocker, and thickness. The rails are thin, making it easy for the rails to fit into the wave face when turning, resulting in a board that allows for sharp movements. In this riding video, you can see how quickly the rails are inserted and removed. The riding sensation is like taking off with a TABLET stance, and the feeling of surfing is similar to that of a MAYHEM performance board. This model is made of FLEXLITE-TURBO material, which takes advantage of its flexible properties to allow for faster takeoff and faster performance surfing on weak beach breaks. The body is a UV-cut blue metallic color that stands out from other models. Another attractive feature of owning this SUB-TABLET is that only 100 units will be sold.

Learn moreThe surfboards that were finished at the glass factory today!
It rained again all day in San Clemente today. So today Nishii was concentrating on his desk work at LOST Surfboard. This is the area where Andy's kind photo board is displayed. It's Friday in California because of the time difference. This week we have received a large shipment of boards from the glass factory. This is Julian's own board, the F1-STUB model, which is his favorite. There is also another board by Julian himself, the "F1-STUB" model, in a different color. These two are Taji's personal boards. In 2013, LOST released a collaboration model with TAJI. These are two of Nishii's "DRIVER" films. I ordered the orange one from "F1-STUB", For some reason, MAYEHM was erased from the top and rewritten as "DRIVER" . The DRIVER has more buoyancy than the F1-STUB, so the paddle moves forward. This is a high-performance model that is highly recommended for seasons when you will be wearing heavy gear such as full suits. /models/lost/driver Please see the special DRIVER page here.

It's a wedding movie. It excels at sharp lip action, and the front side lip in particular has a great movement. The photo was taken from above the Huntington Beach pier, so please take a look at how to time the bottom turn. You can clearly see the sharp lip performance of the "F1-STUB" model and how it floats and moves forward in flat waves that connect all the way to the inside. Ian Crane's air and lip technique This is a great example of riding for those with a goofy stance. Please learn by watching it with your eyes and trying it with your body over and over again.
