Once again, we have a big announcement for all of you who check the Love Surf blog every day! LOST's super high performance board, which I often introduce on my blog. "DRIVER" & "POKET ROCKET" CARBON WRAPs are available at the WEBSITE RENEWAL SALE 2 What... You can buy it for the amazing price of 98,000 yen to celebrate the website renewal! The KOLOHE ANDINO, which was recently selected as a member of the USA Olympic team, has been used in numerous competitions around the world, and other LOST riders have used it both in competitions and for personal use. You may have seen it in international competitions, videos, and photos. As the name suggests, it is designed with the concept of driving, and can be easily controlled even during drive turns when pressure is applied to the tail. The "DRIVER" model is a high-performance model that is easy to handle even for average surfers. The Pocket Rocket has a moderate, bow-like rocker from nose to tail, allowing for control when making tight, radical turns in the pocket of the wave without sacrificing speed or drive. The model used by Kei Kobayashi when he won the 6th JPSA Izu Shimoda CHAMPION PRO was the POCKET ROCKET . The conditions on the day were difficult with strong side-onshore and bumpy waves, but I chose the POKCET ROCKET and won. Both the "DRIVER" and "POCKET ROCKET" models are recommended for competitors as well as advanced riders looking to further their game! To celebrate the renewal of the website , DRIVER and POCKET ROCKET will be selling their popular CARBON WRAP, which is perfect for average Japanese breaks and costs ¥158,000, for ¥98,000 .

Love Surf professional surfer KEI KOBAYASHI will be competing in the 6th round of the JPSA Japan Pro Surfing Tour in Izu Shirahama. I won using "FU WAX" ! Not only is this board used by the winner KEI KOBAYASHI , but by professional surfers all over the world in competitions. Its grip performance, which is unmatched by any other wax, is why it is used in serious competitions that can determine the future of your surfing career. Do you apply FU WAX not only to your surfboard but also to your deck pad and the top of your feet? KEI KOBAYASHI already has a grip on the air, hitting the "FU WAX" multiple times in one round. To prevent slipping when landing, I apply "FU WAX" to the top of my feet, and then transfer it to the soles of my feet when paddling out in the ocean! All colors of "TOOLS " wax packs, perfect for storing "FU WAX", are now available! The "TOOLS" wax pack can store up to three "FU WAX" bottles. It is durable and has a tightly sealed gasket, so even if you fill it with water, it won't spill. Please also check out the ``FU WAX'' red oval sticker ! Love Surf Points Card has launched!

Learn moreApproximately 2,000 photos from the Southern California Japanese Surfing Contest!
Photos from the Southern California Japanese Surfing Contest Please see the link below the text for uploading. On that day, there was a full moon and a spring tide, so the tidal range was large. The waves were chest-high from Koshihara, It was a powerless wave, so the board I was riding had a buoyant person. I was riding a lot of waves and the difference in performance between the boards worked to my advantage. It's also the home of LOST. People who ride the RNF series Many people were pulling out the SHORT ROUND model and riding it. Kei Kobayashi, who won the special class, I chose the CARBON WRAP and rode it. In these conditions, it is again made with an EPS core. The surfboard proved to be an advantage. https://photos.app.goo.gl/q7aXMwRoGgmBTzQ59 I uploaded about 2,000 photos for everyone to see from this URL. So please take a look. This time, there were approximately 130 entries. Next year, 2020, it will be held on October 4th. We look forward to welcoming you to the California Surf Trip & Competition from Japan, with the number of participants increasing every year.

Learn more32nd Southern California Japanese Surfing Contest
Nishii, who participated in the 32nd Southern California Japanese Surfing Contest in the Legend Class for those over 50 as the hype man, won thanks to the board he was riding. The contest was held at Church Break in San Clemente, California. The waves were well-shaped, typical of reef breaks, formed by boulders at the bottom, and were gentle without tubes, making it an excellent fun wave that people of all levels could enjoy, whether on a long board or a short board. So before the competition, I tested various LOST&PLACEBO surfboards to suit the wave conditions. The push from the waves when taking off was weaker than in other California waves, so I chose a PLACEBO surfboard, which makes it easier to gain initial speed.The waves that day were predicted to be 2 to 3 feet, so I prepared three PLACEBO boards and headed to the venue. 5'5" ZEKE 32cl 5'6"『UBER DRIVERP-JP』27.25cl 5'8" DIABLO-X 29.5cl These were the three. The waves were set and just chest high, with consistent waist and belly size, so I talked to Sho Kobayashi, who had done the heat before me, and he said that a board with a fast takeoff and initial speed would be good. I chose the 5'5" ZEKE 32cl and rode with this tri-fin setup. This event is sponsored by Love Surf, Lost Surfboards, Placebo Surfboards, and FU Wax. Nishii also served as the photographer for the event. Kei Kobayashi, who won the JPSA the other day, has also entered the competition. Nishii took about 2,000 of these photographs. We are currently organizing it and will be able to publish it on this blog tomorrow, so please look forward to it!

Learn moreThe secret to catching lots of waves and enjoying surfing in a limited amount of time!
This store blog will show you how to catch more waves and enjoy surfing even in limited time. I'll tell you! To catch a lot of waves, the number of waves themselves, the number and level of surfers surfing at that spot, and your own surfing skills are of course important. But just as important as those skills and experience is the surfboard. So what I would like to recommend is PLACEBO's ZEKE FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE ! https://vimeo.com/355890904 Those who regularly follow the Love Surf blog probably already know this, but The PLACEBO ZEKE ULTIMATE is designed specifically for paddle and takeoff performance. It's obvious if you watch the video! The ZEKE 's straight outline and modest tail rocker create explosive takeoff and acceleration, while the moderate nose rocker and elevator wing enable nimble maneuverability. With five different fin settings, you can enjoy a ride that suits a variety of conditions! This is a recommended model for those who have not yet ridden one. It's so easy to catch a wave and once you take off, it accelerates without any effort, and this acceleration creates light and nimble maneuverability, allowing for a variety of actions. If you're struggling with a thin and slim competition surfboard, can't get to the beach often due to work or family commitments, or always surf at crowded spots and can't seem to catch a wave, try out the PLACEBO ZEKE ULTIMATE . You'll be amazed!
