Charge up Gokin's MEX "Puerto Escondado"!
Charge up Gokin's Mexican pipe "Puerto Escondado"! This is a surf spot called Puerto Escondado in Mexico, which is known as the Mexican Pipeline. The waves here are like this, but the bottom is not a reef but a beach break, so it is very shallow and hard. Nishii has been on two trips here. The board was easily broken into pieces by the huge, shoal-breaking waves. There are overnight repair shops that will pick up your broken board the next morning. The business involved waiting on the beach in a buggy, collecting the boards, and then returning them to the beach the next morning. There are several other surfers in the film besides Gokin, but Gokin is wearing an ANCHOR wetsuit. Now, take a look at the huge waves that are being towed in and ridden.

Learn moreToday's "Surf Training" is boat surfing in Tokyo Bay!!
I went boat surfing in Tokyo Bay for surf training. Waist-high size, capacity for 6 people, no wind, flat water, constant long rides and over 100 actions possible. Hiroki is the new ANCHOR HAGOROMO model wetsuit. Hiroki tried boat surfing for the first time today, but he rode well thanks to the determination of the TEAM riders. The board speed was also able to handle PRO speeds. NOTCHO is an experienced boat surfer, but he had been away from boat surfing for a while, At first I couldn't ride well, but by the end I was able to ride well, but I was starting to run out of strength. NKG-san, I went on a long ride and ripped a lot, and I ended up being unable to stand up several times due to lack of oxygen. Boat surfing can easily drain your leg muscles by surfing a single wave. LOST & PLACEBO store in Makuhari, Chiba, TEAM MOORISE GARAGE Katsuhisa also had a great time riding his favorite ROCKET 5'9". The 5'11" RIPQUEST Polypara also looked to be in good shape. SACHI, a girl, also had fun trying out different boards and comparing them. Today Nishii went on a long ride like this until he was completely exhausted. Boat surfing in Tokyo Bay is different from surfing in the ocean, and it gives you a sense of fulfillment. The performance of each board model is clearly visible at a glance, so it was also a good learning experience for me in terms of board design. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have been receiving an increasing number of inquiries every day from people looking for a surfboard to ride over the New Year holidays.

Learn moreThe latest "LOST Surf Skate" will be available at Luvsurf this year!
The water was so clear today that you could see all the way to the bottom even offshore. This is the tricky spot you have to go down when cycling to LOWERS. I once saw someone fall off their bike while carrying a surfboard. This is a left wave at LOWERS. We filmed a video at LOWERS again today. SHAW had received a brand new wetsuit from O'Neill in a color that was perfect for video shoots, and he was quick to put it on. Nishii is using a set of AUROLA ``CHARGER'' fins. After that, we went to the LOST Surfboard Glass Factory. Lots of boards in the works as usual. This factory is a laminating factory specializing in POLYESTER. I also went to Catalyst, a shop in Mayhem, to check out the latest LOST surf skates that had arrived. The wheels are clear colored, There are surfing deck grips on the deck, There are even models with black trucks! It will arrive at Love Surf within the year, so stay tuned!
Learn moreChris Ward "CONQUEST" XTR PARALLEL-FLEX!
When I checked T-STREET this morning, The waves had dropped in size considerably. Kei, Hiroto and Shou were surfing here, It was too small, and it had just emerged from the sea. Then, I got a call from Chris Ward inviting me to go surfing. I'm on T-Street now, but the waves are small. If you say that, you can go to Lowers, which is super crowded, but the waves are small, We decided to take that board to LOWERS, so we brought out the 6'2" CONQUEST from Mayhem's house and headed there. Chris had heard from Mayhem and Nishii that the CONQUEST was a very popular model exclusive to Japan, so he wanted to test it out to see just how good its take-off performance and maneuverability were, and thought it would be perfect for a crowded day with small waves like this! Chris' signature fins are scheduled to be released. I also wanted to test out the ``AUROLA FIN,'' so today I set up the ``4.7'' as a trial and went surfing, as it seemed like a good choice. Other "AUROLA FIN" designs also feature board outlines drawn on the beach. I thought it would be nice to set these fins like this in this area, so I had fun doing this. When you come out of the water, the CONQUEST board is big, This "CONQUEST" is made of XTR PARALLEL-FLEX material, which has been praised for being light and allowing for great movement. Taking advantage of the CONQUEST's take-off performance, I was able to ride all the SET waves in a short time without a leash. Wow, you can do this kind of thing with the CONQUEST! We've filmed some riding and it will make you go "Wow, this is what you can do with the CONQUEST!" so please look forward to it being released!!! Chris Ward was riding today, CONQUEST's XTR PARALLEL-FLEX Now, in addition to the 10% discount on the strong yen return , the Christmas fair will also be applied . You can get lots of gifts and get great deals!
Learn moreThank you everyone for purchasing so many new boards!
Mr. A, He chose the Placebo TABLET FLEXLITE-TURBO. After a long break from surfing, he was looking for an easy-to-ride board to return to, and a friend who uses LOST and Placebo recommended the TABLET. Mr. B, The customer chose Placebo's TABLET FLEXLITE-TURBO. B also hasn't surfed in about three years. Even for those who are cautious about choosing the right board, we can confidently recommend the TABLET. The TABLET is the model with the highest reliability and ease of riding, as recommended by actual users. Mr. C said, He chose LOST's "WHIPLASH" XTR 7.0. This board was custom-ordered, but a board identical to this one was hit by a car and could no longer be ridden. The board felt great and the owner liked it, so he ordered an identical board straight away, and this is the board that was made. Take the board out of the car after changing into your wetsuit, and when you come out of the water, put the board away before changing to prevent damage to the board. Be careful not to get blown away by cars parked next to, in front of, or behind you, or by the wind! Mr. D, The customer chose Placebo's ROCKET FLEXLITE-TURBO. He was also using the Presto AIRQUEST, but wanted a little more buoyancy to handle more troy waves, so he came to our store from afar and purchased this board. Now he has one more board in his collection, and can handle more diverse wave conditions! Mr. F, The customer chose LOST's "DRIVER" XTR PARALLEL-FLEX. He was looking for a board that would ride with a slightly sharper feel than the STAELTH model he previously custom ordered, and that would be easier to handle in larger waves, so he purchased this driver model, which perfectly fit that concept, during the great XTR sale. Mr. F, He chose the LOST F1-STUB XTR PARALLEL-FLEX. He currently rides the SUB-SCORCHER and F-1 models. He chose the F1-STUB model as a board that can be used more all-around than the other two models. Thank you everyone for purchasing so many new boards!!! Notice!!! [Extended until the end of January!] Save up to approximately 30,000 yen! The yen has continued to rise due to financial instability in Greece and Italy, and is currently at the 76 yen level, its highest level since the end of the war. We therefore considered whether there might be any problems with ending the strong yen return program, and have decided to continue it for the time being. We are pleased to announce a 10% off sale event for Lost "XTR" material surfboards, taking advantage of the strong yen. All "XTR" material LOST stock boards in stock ■ XTR 3D CARBOLIC ■ XTR PARALLEL-FLEX These two are the relevant materials.

Learn moreUntil the new FQ design is complete, we will test it on other FQ boards.
SHAW KOBAYASHI @T-STREET This morning we filmed a video on T-Street. The waves were weak due to the strong winds from yesterday. The mismatched duo walk together in harmony. Yojin PRO had been waiting for the finished F1-STUB for a long time and it looked to be in good condition. KEI is a SCORCHER. In California, the number of people using five fins has increased dramatically recently, so you see them a lot. The pelicans were flying low, and they were moving up and down with the waves. It puts its wings on the waves, making it look like it's surfing. This is LOWERS. It's a small but fun looking wave. Afterwards, Nishii said that Hide, who was studying abroad, had experience in videography, In an empty corner of UPPER, We had a video taken of him riding the improved test version of the FQ board. Before the new FQ design is complete, there are still a few more improvements to be made, so we will test it on another FQ board. Here's a photo of today's golden sunset in San Clemente.
