Learn moreToday I'm photographing the man of the moment, Julian Wilson.
Today Nishii is photographing the man of the moment, Julian Wilson. The size increases, LOWERS is crowded with people surfing first thing in the morning before work. Photographing Julian Wilson, the man of the moment. SHAW will also be appearing with the new board ``F1-STUB'' model. KEI is also here on summer vacation. JW brought two models, the "F1-STUB" and the "DRIVER". JW tried changing the FCS fins multiple times on the same board. He switched between three models: the newly released Mick Fanning model from FCS, the Jamie F model, and his own JW model. I also photographed Ian Walsh riding a MAYHEM board. It seems Mayhem's board also came into contact with someone, and two of his FUTURE fins and boxes were damaged. When JW won the US Open the day before yesterday in front of the largest audience ever for a surfing contest, the first thing he said in his interview on the award stage was, "First of all, I'd like to thank Matt Biolos. Thank you for the amazing board," and it was so moving when that was broadcast all over the world. After riding a few times, the "DRIVER" model broke in half. After that, I also broke the all-clear "F1-STUB" model. Yesterday, TAJ also broke his board. The boards that pros use are made to be extremely light, so they break when they hit a strong lip or when landing in the air. Today at LOWERS, a number of high level surfers were taking turns surfing, including Kelly, Luke Davis, Alefo, Damien and Jamie.

Today, I went to the Nike US-OPEN to support Julian Wilson and take some photos. The sturdy pier at Huntington Beach seen from the north. There are a lot of people on it watching the race. The special viewing stands were also packed to capacity. Julian Wilson's opponent has won the US Open twice in the past. HB is a local rider, known as "Bread Simpson." Perhaps because he didn't ride a MAYEHM in this heat, I failed to land the air twice and lost. In contrast, Julian Wilson leaps out with a confident air, He spun high and fast, landing well and advancing to the win. Tomorrow, the final day, I will face John John Florence in the quarter finals. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's quarter finals as it will be a battle between some interesting surfers. Let's hope Julian Wilson does his best and wins on the MAYHEM board! After finishing filming, Nishii went surfing at San Clemente Trestles. The water temperature was spring-like, midsummer temperature. So, stay tuned tomorrow for our report on the Nike US-OPEN Final Day!
Learn moreMick, Taj, Coco, Carissa, Kolohe and Mayhem.
This morning, we have Mick riding a different DRIVER model than yesterday. I had the opportunity to take photos at LOWERS. Mick is currently ranked number one in the world, so his surfing seems to be going really well. This time he asked Mayhem to shape five boards. Today I brought two MAYHEM boards with me. Richard, a young pro from New Zealand, was delighted with the completion of his F1-STUB and DRIVER models. Taji said he really wanted to ride a V2-ROCKET model during his stay in California. Apparently Mayhem quickly got it in shape. After that, I went to the Nike US-Open on Friday. It's so crowded! Coco and Mayhem, Carisser and Mayhem, Although Coco lost today, I hope that Carisser, the defending champion of the Nike US-Open, will win. (Photo by Hidekazu Suma) Kolohe is absent due to injury, but has recovered enough to walk normally. Well, I'll report back tomorrow.
Learn moreThis is a video and report of Mick riding a MAYHEM board.
After surfing at LOWERS this morning, I shot a video of Mick Fanning riding a MAYHEM board. Mick was doing some sharp surfing at F1-STUB. Owen Wright has been coming every day. He is well known for using the POWER BASE fin system, which Luvsurf pioneered. Afterwards, we went to cheer on and photograph Julian Wilson's heat at the NIKE US OPEN. You're watching a surfing contest while sunbathing on the beach. It would be great if we could hold an event like this in Japan. First of all, do we need a pier to attract tourists to the beach? It's already this crowded on a Thursday, so it's sure to be crazy busy over the weekend. Julian got a high score today in RD3 and came in first place. We'll round up to RD5 in one go. I was using the same board today as yesterday. I guess it's in good condition.
Learn moreThank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased a new board!
Mr. A, The customer chose the LOST "CONQUEST" POLYESTER specification. A customer came into our store and asked us for a suitable board to ride after their beginner board.We recommended the Conquest model, which allows them to catch lots of waves and practice a lot, and they purchased it. Mr. B, The Placebo "TABLET" FLEXLITE-TURBO specification was selected. After searching online for opinions from actual users, the user chose this tablet as it had the highest rating for take-off and paddle speed, making it a safe purchase. Mr. C said, The customer chose the LOST ``POWERQUEST'' POLYESTER specification. He came to the store and told me that his friend (Mr. A) had recently bought a new board at Love Surf. Next time we go surfing together, I want to surf with my new board just as well. We purchased a stock board with the rare PLACEBO mark. Mr. D, The Placebo "SUB-SCORCHER" FLEXLITE-TURBO specification was selected. The customer asked us for a sensitive model that could move vertically and produce speed even in relatively weak waves, so we recommended the SUB-SCORCHER model. Mr. F, The Placebo "FISHQUEST2" FLEXLITE-TURBO specification was selected. The customer purchased the incredibly popular FISHQUEST2 model, which has a wide overall board, a rounded nose, stable paddling, and a faster takeoff than the TABELT model. It's a great board for small waves, but once you get used to it, even a board with a larger head size can handle it. Mr. E, Placebo's "RNF-EVOLUTION" FLEXLITE-TURBO specification was selected. This round nose board is designed for adults who want to cruise on a big line and push the tail for lip action. Its length makes it a great choice for those looking to transition from a funboard or longboard to a shortboard. Mr. G said, The customer chose the LOST "SUB-DRIVER" POLYESTER specification. He injured his hand while doing an air on an overseas surf trip, broke his board, and was unable to surf for several months, but he chose this sub-driver model to help him get back on track. I also got a new wetsuit at the same time. Thank you everyone for coming to our store and purchasing a new board!

Thank you for visiting us. This year's Marine Day Sale was a huge success. Thank you for visiting our store. This year's Marine Day Sale was a huge success. This time we are introducing an original yakitori machine. The store was open from 14:00 to 19:00, but there was a constant stream of customers coming in. Everyone gets a great deal during the sale, so I'm happy to see that the number of customers participating in the Marine Day Sale is increasing year by year. There was no place to park a bicycle, so it was like standing in front of a station. It got very hot during the day, so we set up three tents in front of the store. The cash registers outside the store are always so congested that there are lines. Nishii will be taking turns grilling the food. There are people who look forward to this event every year, so we will of course hold it again next year!
