Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The OTON WAVE2.0, which features an aggressive frame reminiscent of the edgy 60's rock scene, has been especially popular among men who value originality, but recently it has also become incredibly popular among women!

Supervised by Yasushi Murata, who is not satisfied with standard styles, these sunglasses are unique and impactful, and just wearing the OTON WAVE2.0 will change your overall impression!

Learn moreA highly recommended model that is sold out as a new board is now available as a used board!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Personally, I think the next model in the series is the "MICKS TAPE" and it's my top pick. It's been almost two years since I got it through a custom order, but it's still my favorite and the board I use the most. All of our new stock boards sold out quite some time ago, but we now have some used boards in good condition in stock! The used "MICKS TAPE" that has just arrived is a special MADE IN VIETNAM "Black Sheep Built" that cannot be produced even with a USA custom order, with the image color blue printed across the entire deck surface! The blue on the deck surface has been deliberately given a distressed tint in places, with elaborate processing that allows the carbon inside to show through, giving it a vintage look! The MICKS TAPE is the model that won the No. 1 spot at the Electric Acid Surfboard Test, an event hosted by STAB in the Maldives, where the waves are perfect and everyone envies. "If the waves are that good, wouldn't a cutting-edge, high-performance model like the DRIVER series be better?" I think that's what you all might be thinking... While the performance of a surfboard is clearly evident, MICK'S TAPE has board performance that makes it no surprise that it took first place! MAYHEM says it's a "high performance model in a small package"! Before riding the MICKS TAPE, I thought it would be a more edgy surfboard than you would imagine from its appearance, since it's the same surfboard that 3X World Champion Mick Fanning rode to No. 1 on the perfectly sized waves of the Maldives, but I was pleasantly surprised. It also works well on the irregular beach breaks that most of us Japanese surf! [ap_show_item 374022] It's easier to handle than I expected, and very easy to ride regardless of skill level! But it performs better than I expected! Of course, it's not a highly refined high-performance model, but it still allows for non-stop, high-speed surfing! And because it's easy to pick up speed, it's easy to make decisions and feels great! If you're a fan of hybrid models like the RNF'96 that you want to ride for short distances, then you should definitely try the MICKS TAPE! Don't miss out on this extremely rare, excellent condition "MICKS TAPE" that will never be produced again in this premium textured blue! We are also accepting USA custom orders! For a description of the "MICKS TAPE" model, click here! Click here to see the "USED Board"! [ap_show_item 132780] [ap_show_item 77594] I've tried various fins for the MICK'S TAPE Black Sheep Built and found the MR2+1 to be the best, but recently I've changed things up and have also been using the MICK FANNING PC+AirCore/2+1, which I really like. If you use "MICK'S TAPE", please give it a try!

Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member.

[ap_show_item 374058] The frame color "Matte Gray Havana" is popular among people who value originality and don't want to look like everyone else, and the lens color subtly changes from clear to emo blue. The "CR-39 lens" has an automatic light-adjusting function that has no distortion and has high engineering properties!

Learn moreA must-see! Love Surf AM rider Hiroki has shared his impressions of PLACEBO's PARTY PLATTER!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. If you're considering purchasing the PARTY PLATER, the ultimate small wave model that can transform small conditions that would normally send you home without surfing into 40-point waves, this is a must-see! Love Surf AM rider Hiroki has shared his impressions of PLACEBO's PARTY PLATTER! Weekend holidays after the rainy season ends The waves didn't come up easily and were small. PLACEBO SURFBOARDS New Model "PARTY PLATTER" DURA-FLEX5 5'2"x20.75"x2.42" 30.50CL I'm having fun. Fins that fit this board FCS 2 I use a SPLIT KEEL/QUAD. With the waves continuing to be small I wanted to try out different fin sets, so I tried riding with twin fins using this SPLIT KEEL front fin! When set to the front, immediately after takeoff I was feeling a bit dizzy and it felt a bit different. Set at the back. This is going well! I realized that the rear fins were less wobbly than the front ones, and I could step on them more firmly, making it easier to turn and providing better response! Maybe because it was a twin, the takeoff felt even faster and I was able to catch waves from places no one else could! I often accompany my son to tournaments. At a contest in Hokkaido the other day, There was a twin fin class. I have entered the competition. The waves were bigger than expected that day. Set the MR fins, This combination is also good We were able to come in second place! Split Knee to Chest Fins If it's more than that, use MR Fin I'm enjoying the twin fin set! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMW4dM4vOWZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Not only is Love Surf AM rider Hiroki's skill impressive, but the fact that he was able to win a contest shows that PARTY PLATTER has incredible potential!

The latest EPS material "LIGHT SPEED2" for LOST's representative DRIVER series "DRIVER3.0" and "3.0 STUB DRIVER" has arrived for the first time! It's still fresh in our memory that Brazil's Michael Rodrigues achieved great results riding the "LIGHT SPEED2" at the US Open held in Huntington Beach, California the other day! He started the quarter finals on a PLOYESTER surfboard, but midway through the match he suddenly switched to a LIGHT SPEED2, which improved the quality of his surfing and led to a stunning victory over 2x USOPEN champion Kanoa Igarashi! This proves that the "LIGHT SPEED2" is made of EPS material, which is better suited to the irregular breaking of beach breaks! [ap_show_item 373701] [ap_show_item 373720] [ap_show_item 373723] [ap_show_item 373726] [ap_show_item 373727] [ap_show_item 373728] The newly arrived LOST 3.0 STUB DRIVER can be used every day and will help you achieve high scores in competitions.

One of the reasons why the LOST team continues to achieve good results in the 2025 CT is the existence of "DRIVER3.0"! This is a recommended model that surfers who prefer high-performance models should definitely try! The EPS material "LIGHT SPEED", which was originally designed to be particularly suitable for competitive surfing, has been updated and given a new look as "LIGHT SPEED2". The previous model used carbon on the stringer center line, but this model has been changed to LOST's original ``High Densile Fiberglass'', which retains the good points of ``LIGHT SPEED'' while achieving high-speed turns with a stable riding feel that you wouldn't expect from EPS! The stronger flex improves the high-rebound performance, making it flexible and smooth, with great acceleration and control! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIbXtCArOm0 The custom X-pattern performance fiberglass cloth is effectively combined with high-density fiberglass and Innegra, creating a perfect match between LOST's original EPS material "LIGHT SPEED2", known for its aggressive and sensitive response, and the high-performance models "DRIVER3.0" and "3.0 STUB DRIVER"!

Learn moreThis is a factory report from Catalyst X Barshams in San Clemente.
This factory, called Barsham's, is the largest surfboard factory in San Clemente, which Mayhem took over last year. This surfboard factory is located in the heart of San Clemente's surfboard manufacturing industry, with Timmy Patterson, Stewart, and almost all of the other surfboard manufacturers based in San Clemente making their surfboards in this industrial area where Barshams is located. At Bar Jams, you can get everything the surfboard manufacturers' shapers, sanders, airbrushers, and other craftsmen need to make surfboards, including blanks, cloth, resin, sandpaper, scissors, tape, measuring equipment, and more. It's more like a place that sells not only surfboards but also tools for making surfboards. Catalyst, a Mayhem store that sells lost surfboards, moved here as a surf shop and opened last year under the name "Catalyst X Barsham's." The shop's original Catalyst x Barshams clothing is available in Love Surf stores and online. https://youtu.be/GkyLh4lGddo
