Located in San Clemente, Trestles This shed is decorated with boards painted in matte black. The two designers from Lost Clothing, "BLACK HART BROTHER HOOD" Blackheart Brotherhood It's a designer room. They go surfing from here almost every day, hoping for good waves. San Clemente locals. We will introduce them in more detail at a later date: BLACK HART BROTHER HOOD. Mayhem said they would shape a board for Nishii, so I went to the Lost Surfboard Factory. Daisuke closely follows Mayhem's shape and shoots for about 6 hours straight! This Taylor is using the XTR 3D CARBOLIC blanks. This shows the part being hand cut to fit into the AKU machine. This is a SCORCHER/FIBERFLEX tail for Kolohe. The VEE is beautiful. This is the tail of the Motivator for Nishii. Mayhem shaped the "SUB-SCORCHER" for us today. I wanted to take a photo of the airbrush work, I asked Teri Shin to paint it for me, even though it was a bit much. First, put the black color into this container and let it drip. Add some purple, orange, and gray. Use a rubber spatula to gently apply the color to the foam. It turned out like this. Other manufacturers who are reading this blog also I hope you'll try imitating Terry's technique. In the evening, Mayhem insisted on going surfing, so I knew the waves wouldn't be good, but I went anyway. Mayhem was riding the small, sloppy waves on a PLANK.

And it's here! Nishii's new personal board "SUB-SCORCHER" The material is the first test "double stringer". This is a blank I wanted to try because Kelly raves about it. Before and after surfing, I always drink Surf Supplement Gold. I put BLACKLINE grips on my new board "SUB-SCORCHER" Tie a Kevlar cord to the planet-shaped leash cup, Put a Luvsurf sticker on it I applied SEXWAX, which I have been using for many years. It's cloudy today and the waves are wind-driven, so the shoulders are short. Masaki is wearing AUROLA TRIPLE RAZER FIN. Kei-kun is riding the smallest board made by Lost. Daisuke filmed the video, After surfing, you can check your riding on the spot. The first test of the "Double Straight Stringer" was very soft, The rebound was smooth and pleasant, so I'll try riding it some more. The "SUB-SCORCHER" model is also in good condition, with less rocker and more width. The speed was excellent and it was in good condition.

While checking out T Street in San Clemente, I got a call from Dino and Dinno. Now on the South Side of San Clemente Pier, I went because Kolohe was going to be surfing. Besides the Andinos, there was also Luke Davis and his father. He filmed his two sons surfing while giving them rigorous coaching. After catching two or three waves, we went up to the beach. He points out the good and bad points of every ride. It's a passionate way to practice. You can also play back the footage you filmed in slow motion on the spot. The coaches are checking the movements. Kolohe Andino Luke Davis Daisuke recorded these riding scenes perfectly on video, Please look forward to its release on the web!

Check out the waves from San Clemente Pier The tide was rising and the waves were thick and similar to those in Japan, so I chose Motivator. I tried shooting a riding video. As expected, the wave quality was perfect and I was able to catch and ride the waves with such ease that it was almost unfair. After that, we went to the XTR factory, Regarding the late-finishing board, I asked Habiya and the staff to check it. I urged them to complete it as soon as possible. AIRQUEST Devil Tail XTR 3D CARBOLIC in production Poto with the XTR 3D CARBOLIC laminator. The XTR 3D CARBOLIC process is complicated and takes time and effort.

It's made of a new EPS foam called KEAHANA, which is extremely light! It has a special glass finish that gives it a glossy, luxurious feel. If we test the strength and there are no problems, we would like to sell it in Japan as well. The model is a wing swallowtail version of the Rocket. Put on a Luvsurf sticker, (I forgot the stickers from my other sponsors, FAB and Cyber, in Japan so they're not on the wall.) Masaki from San Clemente came all the way to He brought me some BLACKLINE grips for my new board. We immediately went surfing and filming with Masaki and Kei on the new board. The three of us had the Upper Trestle to ourselves to photograph until it got dark. Masaki, you're using the SCORCHER model XTR 3D CARBOLIC.

Today's waves at Trestles. There are waves due to the wind swell, but the waves are not particularly well shaped. Nishii is a motivator and Shou is SD2. When you come up from the sea, We discovered a sea lion sunbathing! Kei-kun is peeling off a generous pile of wax. By chance, I met professional golfer Naoto, who had come to the US on the same plane, at the beach. After emerging from the sea, Andy's family from the US anchor team said, I was in the process of repairing a board that had recently started to break and that I had received from the aforementioned Chris Ward. A father-son skating show begins in the backyard! Kenny, the son, is quite skilled! Dad also did the air, not to be outdone. He skillfully manipulates Posca pens to create surf art. I went to the office of LOST's original artist, Drew. I was shown some of his recent work. We are doing glassing of LOST/POLYESTER boards. A look inside the Ghetto House There were many Japanese boards lined up in the process of being sanded. If you go to Lost's surfboard factory, Marcoform (EPS) is delivering blanks! The popular "FIBERFLEX" EPS board is also selling well in the US, and demand is apparently on the rise. Habiyar from XTR has also arrived! Without giving up, I carried the completed shaped XTR blanks into my car. Explore the boards in the surfboard factory I checked the location of the boards that were slow to be completed. Airbrush craftsman Terry Singh is cutting the masking at an astonishing speed. Mayhem was once again working on various board designs. This is a blunt-based shape for large tubes. It looks like they'll be testing it. It was a day of learning, with a full day visit to the LOST surfboard factory.

Nishii's personal new "FI-STUB" board is now ready! I received a message from Trevor, a new staff member at LOST. Nishii's personal "FI-STUB" new board is now complete, I rushed to the LOST board warehouse to pick it up. While I was there, I took a peek at the secret surfboard rack. I found it! The RNF-Q board that Mason rode in the "5'5'REDUX" DVD! I asked for a favor and secured this board so that I could exhibit it at Love Surf!! The new Hydroflex 5'5" ROCKET was also a good time. Marks from HYDROFLEX brought it to me. However, the pump is currently sold out, so I can't try out its functions yet. So, I went to test ride the new FI-STUB board right away. The fins are equipped with AUROLA "TRIPLE RAZER" At the recommendation of his coach, he joined the San Clemente team, the strongest student team in the United States. With Sho-kun, the first Japanese to join Shore Cliff, I also went surfing with my younger brother, Kei. The waves were like this, not so good for a trestle. "FI-STUB" is awesome, Mayhem is truly a genius. The board is easier to speed up than the FI, and the action at the top is lighter, The lines and speed of the moves are unstoppable! These photos were taken by Daisuke, who just arrived in LA today.

We've arrived! Nishii is currently in California! Today's upper trestle waves. The swell is coming from the northwest and is larger than normal. There has been a lot of rain this year, and the sand that has flowed out from the mouth of this Upper Trestle river, The wave quality at the boulder bottom is better than usual, making it possible to ride long distances. Mayhem is absent today, I went to LOST Shape Factory, so I'll report on it. Inside the factory, there are blanks for the production of boards for 2010. There are many lined up. This year Mayhem won the Shaper of the Year award, It seems that there have been more stock board orders from surf shops in the US than in previous years. We have also received many stock orders from surf shops in Japan that stock LOST, so it seems that the production period for LOST boards will be longer than usual. If you are considering a custom order, we recommend that you do so as soon as possible. The other day, it broke down, and I had to order parts from Hawaii and Brazil. The revived "DSD" is a machine dedicated to cutting center stringer blanks. The color design of this board is This is Terry's specialty splatter airbrush design. When you sneak into Mayhem's shaping room, There was Luke Davis' magic board. On the left is F1-STUB and on the right is WHIPLASH. Take a template from this magic and make minor changes. Each model we offer to you is sharpened and sold. We also found a board made by NOBU, a custom-ordered FIBERFLEX from Japan. The 2010 version of the FIBERFLEX board will be the new FIBERFLEX. We will let you know more details as soon as we have all the photos and materials. So, don't miss the California report starting tomorrow!
Learn moreSurf small, junk waves with the new model "MOTIVATOR"!
"MOTIVATOR" NEW MODEL 2010! ★A board that will make you want to surf even small, junky waves!★ MOTIVATOR Features -Short but stable outline design. - No loss of speed even in small waves. ・For intermediate and above level. ・Knee to chest size recommended. I was trying to create a board that would inspire surfers to surf even in small, junky waves. How could I turn the ROCKET, which I used as the base, into a Super Grover? Even average level surfers can easily get off to a fast start with the ROCKET. We've taken four steps to make it easier to gain speed while riding. A. A wide nose and a blocky (square) tail. This straight outline lengthens the straight line of the rails and creates drive performance. B. A tail that has the same thickness but widens from the nose to the tip, adding buoyancy without adding thickness overall. C. We loosened the tail rocker along the center stringer line to add drive and allow the back foot to easily add speed to the board in slow waves, but added a strong vee behind the back foot, so this board has great ability to turn aggressively and tightly when the rail is engaged. D. For stability and paddling power, the deck is flat, with steep full rails and a tapered "step rail" about 6 inches (15 cm) from the tail, allowing for easy "real" turns even in small waves. We recommend a board that is about 1 inch shorter than the ROCKET and about 1/2 inch wider.
