Learn moreA must-read for customers considering custom orders! We'll explain how to calculate the custom order fee, a question we're often asked about!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. At Love Surf, we are fortunate to receive many custom orders every month. At that time, I was asked, of course, "How much would it cost to custom order a certain model?" When we talk more closely, we find that each LOST model page lists the country of manufacture and each technology, such as "MADE IN USA," "MADE IN JAPAN," or "MADE IN VIETNAM," and surprisingly, many customers don't know the total price. So! In this STORE BLOG, we will explain how LOST custom order fees are calculated! Basically, the base price will be the POLYESTER USA price listed on each LOST model page. Below is what happens when you custom order a POLYESTER surfboard. "POLYESTER USA price of each model + custom order fee = total POLYESTER custom order price" For example, if you custom order the LOST "3.0 STUB DRIVER" POLYESTER The base price is ¥154,000, circled in red. The price is ¥169,400 (tax included). +Custom order fee is ¥20,000 to ¥22,000 (tax included), The total amount is ¥174,000 The price is ¥191,400 (tax included). *Custom orders are only available for products made in the USA. Custom orders are not available for products made in Japan or Vietnam. If you would like to custom order the LOST 3.0 STUB DRIVER DOUBLE DART, The base price is the same as POLYESTER: ¥154,000 ¥169,400 (tax included) + custom order fee ¥20,000 ¥22,000 (tax included) = ¥174,000 So far, the price is the same: ¥191,400 (tax included). And the "DOUBLE DART" in the red frame in the image is ¥120,000 ¥132,000 (tax included) will be added, Total: 294,000 yen The price is ¥323,400 (tax included). There are a lot of custom orders If you would like to custom order the LOST "RNF'96" BLACK SHEEP BUILT, The base price is the same as POLYESTER: ¥158,000 ¥173,800 (tax included) + custom order fee ¥20,000 ¥22,000 (tax included) = ¥178,000 ¥195,800 (tax included) and BLACK SHEEP BUILT ¥68,000 ¥74,800 (tax included) + Total ¥246,000 The price is ¥270,600 (tax included). If you add resin color or airbrush color, the price will be the same as above plus one color on both sides, starting from ￥30,000. *For BLACK SHEEP BUILT, airbrush color can only be applied to the bottom surface. *Prices vary depending on the number of colors and design. Custom order fees are calculated as above. The basic fee varies depending on the model, so please check the individual model page. Did you know that we also offer a free Love Surf decal that is only available on custom order boards? For custom orders, you can use original sizing and decals that are not available on stock boards, allowing you to customize the sizing and decals to suit you better! Even without tinting or airbrushing, you can create originality by simply using decal colors that aren't used on the stock board and changing their position, so even if your friends around you are riding the same model, you can differentiate yourself and you'll definitely feel more attached to it! We always accept custom orders, so please feel free to contact us. Love Surf is the exclusive distributor in Japan for LOST Surfboards and PLACEBO Surfboards, and thanks to our 28-year relationship with MAYHEM, we have thorough control over all surfboards coming into Japan and all of our Made In Japan Quality products. Led by Pro Nishii, our staff, who are the most knowledgeable about LOST Surfboards in Japan, will help you custom order a magic board that perfectly suits your needs, so please feel free to contact us at a Love Surf physical store, by phone, or by email!

This isn't true for all surfers, but if you're someone who enjoys surfing in good waves with few people around, but you want to improve and enjoy surfing at crowded spots in Japan, such as during the New Year holidays or on weekends, then choosing the right surfboard model and thinking about buoyancy can make all the difference!
