Suitable for weight gain!! Chucky switched to the 2.25CL size increase!
Chucky, who gained weight, went up two sizes! Take a look at the photos Nishii took of his improved surfing. I used to weigh 70kg but now I weigh 80kg. "Chucky" changed his board. PLACEBO 5'6” “ UBER DRIVER-JP ” 27.25cl from, PLACEBO 5'8” “ UBER DRIVER-JP ” 29.50cl Please transfer to. That's a 2.25cl increase! The reason I gained weight was because I had to babysit my child. I've been surfing less and less, so I'm eating more and consuming too many calories. By increasing the buoyancy and size of the board Paddling became easier and the surfing flowed without stopping. Chucky was able to catch more waves than before. Even if your weight increases, you can enjoy surfing more by increasing the size of your board and the CL value. Nishii feels that the majority of surfers in Japan do not have enough CL. Nishii weighs 60kg and prefers to ride a 27-32CL bike, so please use this as a reference. Especially for those who only surf on weekends, to catch as many waves as possible in a limited time, Please say goodbye to those thin boards with low CL values. You'll also be able to paddle faster and be less tired. ★ Click here to visit the PLACEBO "UBER DRIVER-JP" special page! ★★★★★★★★★★★★★ *5% WEB member points! * 5% cashless rebate! ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Click here to purchase in store and receive a total of 10% points on both items! https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/product/15508/?attribute_%25e3%2582%25b5%25e3%2582%25a4%25e3%2582%25ba=5'8%22+x+19.75%22+x+2.40%22 ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Learn moreNishii reports from LOST Surfboard Factory in San Clemente.
A model called Retro Gun for extremely large waves has been completed. It is a gunboard that is as long as a long board, with a length of 9'0. To prevent the board from breaking, extra-thick wooden stringers are used and the board is wrapped in three layers of 6-ounce glass, making it very heavy and sturdy. This is the Griffin Colapinto board. The griffin on the board was created by LOST's original artist, Drew Brophy. The resin-colored boards lined up with the tails facing up are the " SMOOTH OPERATOR " models. Apparently this is a very popular model in the USA. At Love Surf, sizes are also selling out. Arctic blanks are the main material used by LOST. Blanks are also called forms in Japanese, which can be confusing, but In the USA, the word blanks is often used. The boards that have been taped together in the center are boards that have been shaped and painted and are about to be transported to the glass factory. LOST surfboards are shaped at the shape factory, and the glass is processed at a separate factory to complete the process. These two boards are custom-ordered by a surfer from Minami Nonaka in Japan. He will represent Japan at the ISA Junior World Surfing Games to be held in Huntington Beach at the end of October, and we are working hard to finish them in time for the contest. The paint art is of Rider-chan. The rack is lined with colors for painting. This is a board that a customer custom-ordered, an Orca model, and after completion, will be shipped to Japan by air. The latest models are great, but there are also many Japanese customers who are LOST fans who have been riding the classics over and over for many years!
Learn moreNew Luvsurf TV release! LOST "DRIVER2.0" ISA JAPAN 2019 Kolohe Andino!
New Luvsurf TV released! LOST “DRIVER2.0” ISA SURFING GAME JAPAN 2019 Rider: Kolohe Andiono Board used: LOST 『DRIVER2.0』 FILM：Koji Nishii and TABRIGADE FILM EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM The highest level event held in the country, This is a digest riding movie that includes only the best rides of Kolohe Andino, who unfortunately came in second at ISA SURFING GAME JAPAN 2019, from the first round to the final heat. Kolohe Andino's surfing is going really well. The reason I became the best surfer I've ever been was because I updated my board. I think my surfing is getting better. The technique of lifting the tail as you lip on the backside, digging the nose into the water and rotating is extremely stable. The board he is riding is the ``DRIVER2.0'' model, which has evolved along with Kolohe's surfing. The first stock boards will be arriving in Japan next month, so please look forward to it! The event was attended by more countries and athletes than the 2020 Olympics, and the spectators were surfing fans from all over Japan, with an announced attendance of 20,000 people, with the beach packed tightly together. Nishii thought that the number of visitors was even more than that of Pro Marui. It had been a while since the top surfers from all over the world had gathered, so the gallery at the venue was huge and the surfers seemed more enthusiastic than usual. Despite this perfect spin and landing, the call was questionable. You can see Kolohe Andino's super air below! This is the last ride!! https://vimeo.com/363969583
Learn moreCheck out Matt Mayhem biolos on the day before they set off on their European tour.
Nishii was recently at the LOST Surfboard Shaping Factory with Matt Mayhem biolos, who was busy the day before leaving for a European tour. Take a look at what he saw. This is a building away, but it's only a two-minute walk away and it's the second glass factory just for LOST surfboards, which was newly built. LOST surfboards are said to be the most popular in the shortboard category in the US, and with the number of custom orders increasing dramatically, MAYHEM couldn't keep up with production, so they built this new glass factory. This is how I sanded the FCS2 fins. I sanded the FCS2 Performer fins to make them smaller to my liking. It's great that I can sand them myself and change the size of the fins! Here, my daughter Ryder is masking the board she is going to paint with tape. My daughter Ryder's Instagram is here. https://www.instagram.com/artbyryder/?hl=ja Please follow me. This is a prototype board that was being shaped in the shaping room so that it would be ready when we returned to San Clemente from our approximately 20-day European tour. Here, I'm discussing the design of a new surfboard with Mayhem, and he's making adjustments on the AKU Shaper software screen. The several pink order cards on his desk are specifically for boards sent to Japan. All custom and stock boards produced in San Clemente, California, and sent to Luvsurf in Japan are shaped and finished by Mayhem himself. Proof of this is the pencil signature of "Matt Biolos" on the bottom. Boards sold in the USA Surfship store do not have the pencil signature of "Matt Biolos." Did you know?
Learn moreHeavy rotation! PLACEBO's "ZEKE" FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE is going strong!
Nishii is currently staying in California. So Nishii is riding the PLACEBO 5'5" ZEKE FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE a lot. I had received feedback from many customers that riding with tri-fins felt good, so to confirm this, I tried riding with tri-fins on the long wall waves of Trestles in California, which is known as a test course for surfboards.I could really feel the good points of the board and it felt amazing, so I continued riding it for a while. I have a lot of other boards ready to test, but I've been using the PLACEBO 5'5" ZEKE FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE because it's been going so well. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2x0J9ADHMJ/ This is the riding video Nishii posted on Instagram. The ZEKE provides more dramatic drive in turns than the previous model, the Goblin-Sprint. When I asked Mayhem what makes the Zeke so great, they told me that the straighter part of the outline provides more drive than the Goblin-Sprint. And yet, the quickness and agility are on par with the Goblin-Sprint, so you can ride everything from small waves to overhead waves once you get used to it. This classic MAYHEM model will continue to be sold in 2020, so be sure to try it out soon! The PLACEBO surfboard has been evolving every year, offering the ultimate in comfort and performance!
