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!

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! == ...

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.

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!

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.

Luvsurf TV: Placebo "TABLET II" Masato Yukawa. Rider: Masato Yukawa. Board used: Placebo 5'8" TABLET II FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM: Hayato Masuda EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM He has visited Japan more than 15 times and is very familiar with the lifestyles of Japanese surfers and the quality of the waves in Japan. The only world-class top shaper, "Mayhem" Matt Biolos, talks about the Japanese waves and This is an upgraded version of the TABLET, which was researched, developed and designed for senior surfers aged 35 and over. This is an intriguing collection of riding videos that will make you wonder how a young 21-year-old Japanese professional surfer can ride. The waves recorded were not very good, but Masato Yukawa's riding brought out the best in the TABLET II. It almost looks like a good wave. The TABLET II is thick in the center, but thinner at the tail and nose. This allows you to perform tricky and sharp riding moves such as sliding the tail and reversing. It's easy to gain speed in waves where a normal thruster board for competitions that doesn't have buoyancy can't gain speed. Such top actions are also possible. It can reach speeds faster than you would expect, so it's perfect for modern surfing, where you can jump, bounce, and spin. This is one of the reasons why the TABLET II is so popular. First-time riders are amazed at how quickly it takes off. Air reverse is also easy to do, and after his first ride, pro rider Masato Yukawa said he wanted to use it in competitions. The TABLET II has just arrived for the first time, but... These three sizes, 5'8", 5'10", and 6'0", are so popular that the initial stock has sold out. The next shipment is scheduled for the end of April. We are currently accepting pre-orders. If you want to ride it during Golden Week, be sure to make a reservation. To make a reservation, please call 03-3732-5532 or feel free to apply using the form below. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact.html Please feel free to contact us regarding the appropriate size. We will consult and make suggestions based on your needs and level. We currently have a few 6'2" and 6'4" boards available for immediate riding. If you'd like to ride hard during Golden Week, please consider purchasing one soon. For those who live far away and cannot visit the store If you would like to order online, we offer free shipping nationwide (excluding Okinawa, remote islands, and some areas)!

Luvsurf TV:Placebo “RNF-EVOLUTION” Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: Placebo 5'8" RNF-EVOLUTION FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM :Hayato Masuda EDIT：TABRIGADE FILM The flip nose is designed at the tip of the nose about 25cm, The rounded nose prevents pearling when taking off in deep waves, which has been a problem until now. The carbon fiber on the bottom of the FLEXLITE-TURBO board flexes smoothly, It springs back and extends every time the board bounces and turns. It's a round nose surfboard that can handle rough, thick waves and deep shorebreak waves. The thin tail makes it easy to create action even in deep, curled sections. Put as much weight as you can on the board and accelerate with a flexed turn. You'll make a great turn. The round nose design allows for faster take-off than point nose boards, so you can get up quickly even in large waves. The 5'8" and 5'10" sizes have been newly added, allowing you to choose from a total of five sizes to accommodate a wide range of levels and needs. This is a Japan-exclusive model that is a tuned-up version of Mayhem's classic RNF model to suit Japanese waves. Two new sizes of this model, 5'8" and 5'10", have just arrived! 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.
