AUROLA FIN's latest model "CARBON 5" is set in QUAD!
Today's waves in the lower part were like this, the smallest they've ever been. It would be difficult if this size overlapped with the WT competition schedule. According to the US wave information, SURFLINE reports, the waves are ankle to knee size. When the wave information reports that the waves are ankle to knee-high, no one comes, so it's empty and you can ride the occasional chest-high SET wave as much as you want. It's the same in Japan, but since it's Monday morning, it's sometimes empty. Southwest swells are forecast to arrive from Thursday, so the size is likely to increase over the weekend. I went surfing with AUROLA FIN's latest model, the CARBON 5, set up on a QUAD. For small waves, the QUAD is the best as you can turn and paddle with all four boards to gain speed. It's Monday, the start of the new week, so I went to the LOST Surfboard Factory, which is holding an exhibition this weekend. For this reason, Mayhem and the other staff at the factory all seemed very busy. Blanks after being cut by the DSD machine. The aisles of the factory are packed with blanks. This is the storage room for blanks. This precious XTR foam was brought to us by XTR. Terry's airbrushing is beautiful and his color selection is excellent! I pulled out the board from the magic board storage area. From the left, Julian Wilson, Kolohe Andino, There was a Cocoho board there.

Today's LOWER, northwest swell, small waves, short shoulders. I did some light surfing on T-Street. The left break was great. If you go to the LOST surfboard factory, you can find Nishii's personal board, FISHQUEST XTR 3D CARBOLIC specifications, Terry has already finished the airbrushing, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. We also went to the LOST surfboard warehouse. The PRO board display at the entrance has been redesigned to look like this.

Today, I was shooting a video at LOWER from the morning. These are the Jamaican brothers, Kei and Sho KOBAYASHI, from the Luvsurf TEAM. Kei, now 12 years old, is a Scorcher model. For the Pro Jr. show, I brought a SUB-SCORCHER. When I found Nishii's XTR Parallel Flex SUB-DRIVER, He said he wanted to try riding it, and seemed to be having fun and riding it well. The XTR epoxy board is light and fast, with no stringer in the tail. It flexes extra and bounces well when hitting the lip. I also feel that the Upsun is easy to pick up speed and has a quick first turn. The waves look like this and are small for LOWER, but they are clean and well-shaped. At P Mark, I found someone with a robot-marked playboard. This combination of marks means that the board is from six years ago. Although it shows signs of use, I'm impressed that it's still in good condition and not at all sun damaged or yellowed. Kei-kun came out of the sea early and went to school because school was starting. A LOST girl passed in front of the camera. Today we were able to take some great photos in the clean, windless Lower.
Learn moreThe XTR PARALLEL-FLEX is light, fast and works great!
Today I went surfing at Lower. LOST 5'7" SUB-DRIVER model with XTR PARALLEL-FLEX. The XTR PARALLEL-FLEX is light, fast, and works great, so I can recommend it with confidence. The fins are a set of AUROLA 4.5 for quick movement. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/item_detail/itemId,180/ It is currently sold out due to its popularity, but will be in stock around October 15th. According to the US wave information, the waves were ankle to waist high, so there were plenty of empty spaces. Nathan Fletcher was there, doing some cool surfing on a round, short-nosed quad. After surfing, we went to Catalyst, a surf shop in Mayhem. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/item_detail/itemId,1503/ Catalyst was previously run by Harvey Fletcher, who ran a surf shop there. It's a long-established surf shop in San Clemente. Behind it is a glass factory that specializes in LOST surfboards. I was working on installing FCS fin cups. Use this tool to drill the mounting holes for the fin cups. Then, put white resin around the cup to prevent it from spilling out. Like this, There are masking parts specifically for FCS. The lamination marks are arranged like this. The lined up white boxes contain various types of cloth. This prefabricated office is also located on the premises. This dusty, manly smell of San Clemente in the factories and offices...it's like LOST. MAYHEM surfboards, which are beginning to be called the number one in the US, are not the boards that are ridden by gay surfers at local OCs. LOST surfboards are chosen by surfers at a level that understands the superior performance of the MAYHEM shape, even by World Tour surfers who know the true difference.

If you take a look inside the "Ghetto House" Glass Factory, The owner of Ghetto House, Paul, finished sanding the board. Blow air with a compressor to blow away the sanded powder, We are currently working on cleaning it up. This shop specializes in Lost Surfboard's POLYESTER glasses. Glass Factory in San Clemente. There was a cool sticker like this on the window. Today I went surfing at Mayhem and LOWERS. The venue for the recent WT event is still being demolished. Mayhem has recently been training exclusively with a famous surf trainer. My physical condition had improved, I had been free of back pain for three months, and my surfing was going great. This is a Blunt model with beautiful yellow airbrushing. Nishii is using the Lost SUB-DRIVER XTR PARALLEL-FLEX specification. The size of the board is the same as the stockboard size that arrived at Love Surf today. 5'7"x 18 5/8"x 2 1/8" (170 x 47.3 x5.4 cm) 55-63kg 23.36cl. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/board/lost_stock.html#sub-driver The Lost "SUB-DRIVER" is a favorite of current riders, including Kolohe. Nishii also likes the board design, which allows him to ride short boards, and how well it feels when he rides them. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/board/lost_model.html#sub-driver While Mayhem is waiting for a wave in the ocean, a bunch of people come up to him asking for advice about their boards. I'm currently riding this board, but are there any models you'd recommend? I want to get the XX model next. Most of them want me to recommend a board size. I showed Mayhem the board I'm currently riding, If you talk to them, they will pay attention to your riding and give you advice on your next board. The guy in the photo is one of them. He found Mayhem before he got into the water and started discussing it, and after he got out of the water he discussed and decided on the size. He said he would go and order right away.
Learn moreSurf with the ``SUB-DRIVER'' XTR PARALLEL-FLEX specification!
Today, we're introducing the XTR PARALLEL-FLEX specification of the Lost "SUB-DRIVER" model. After the WT event, I had a quick surf at the trestle that was being cleaned up. I went to XTR Board Factory, an epoxy PRO company in Oceanside. Apparently today is a maintenance day, so normal factory operations are suspended. I was cleaning the newly installed 3DM machine. Habiya gave us a lecture on the software programming of the 3DM machine. The board will appear on the monitor in 3D like this. The board design can be changed by moving the path with the mouse or by entering numerical values. This is a photo of the inside of the room where our original XTR epoxy resin is mixed and produced. XTR boards with a center stringer are indistinguishable from POLY boards without the XTR mark on the rails. Habiyar is always trying out different prototypes, and right now he's testing out a stringerless board. They are currently testing the folding strength of different types of cloth, the number of pieces, and the XTR resin. This is posted in the city of San Clemente. This is a poster featuring Shane for the San Clemente Music & Surf Festival.
Learn moreI had a meeting with Mayhem at the LOST surfboard factory.
Today I had a meeting with Mayhem at the LOST Surfboard Factory. Schoenbeschen came and brought his magic board. I had requested the same board from Mayhem. While looking at the board, Shane told MAYHEM what he liked about it, even down to the fine details of the foil. There are very few people who can describe board design so well in words. He is truly a surfboard doctor. Shane also requested a board for his son Noah. The board on the right is new, but the rails seem to be thicker. He shows Mayhem the old board on his left and requests that it be the same as this one. Lighter surfers are more sensitive to subtle thicknesses than heavier surfers, The smaller the board, the more important the balance of the details is. This is the magic board storage area that I introduced previously. Among them was Julian's usual happy-tasting art board. If Terry were to create something with that style, it would turn out like this. He showed me the new Julian board. It certainly has a LOST vibe to it. While staying at a hotel in San Clemente, I delivered a board to Chris Davidson, but he was drunk in the middle of the day and it was dangerous. The model is a driver. Mick Fanning, who is staying at a vacation rental in San Clemente, I delivered a Mayhem board, a special model that Mayhem shaped to suit Mick. He loved the shape and was very happy. Of course, I paid for it.
