Learn moreRestock! The sold-out flagship model LOWTIDE from OZONE Eyewear has arrived at Love Surf!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The flagship model "LOW TIDE" of the eyewear brand "OZONE Eyewear" has been gaining attention for its timeless, basic and simple design that stands out from other brands, yet remains unaffected by the rapidly changing trends of today. It is now back in stock! Koji Nishii, a legendary professional surfer based in Los Angeles and Tokyo who is active worldwide, had been searching the world, including high-end brands, for sunglasses that he was satisfied with, but he couldn't find any. So, I decided to produce the sunglasses myself from scratch and make them I could be satisfied with, and that's how OZONE Eyewear was launched in 2024. All of the first OZONE Eyewear models were sold out in just a few days! Two of the three colors of the "OTON WAVES 2.0" that arrived for the first time last time have sold out! Currently, it has become a valuable item that is as difficult to obtain as the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" DOUBLE DART. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCn2EShMQO0&t=2s Unlike well-known high-end brand sunglasses, which are mass-produced using molds and simply have the brand name printed on them, these are handmade by artisans, cut out from a single piece of wood, and polished to a high shine by hand, each one carefully finished. The high quality of OZONE Eyewear is a result of Koji Nishii's commitment to his products. [ap_show_item 353413] [ap_show_item 353577] OZONE Eyewear's flagship model "LOW TIDE" is back in stock! A Wellington model with a thick frame and outline reminiscent of the 80's. It is suitable for a variety of face shapes, so it is also recommended as a gift. Now that they've just arrived, you can choose from two colors: the basic dark lens "Smoke Gray" and the trendy light lens "Fortune Blue"! [ap_show_item 356033] [ap_show_item 356020] A new color has already been released for "OTON WAVES," supervised by professional photographer Oton, also known as "Yasushi Murata"! "OTON WAVES" allows you to wear your glasses without having to take them off. It is a model that takes into consideration both appearance and practicality, taking into account the situations in which Yasushi Murata will use the glasses, such as entering and exiting tunnels while driving, taking photos or videos, and wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle. [ap_show_item 356048] [ap_show_item 356056] [ap_show_item 356065] The second series of models supervised by professional photographer Oton, also known as Yasushi Murata, has already been released! The original Yasushi Murata has created sunglasses with a design you won't find anywhere else, and a model that evokes the edgy 60's rock scene! As you can see from their surfboards and wetsuits, OZONE Eyewear, launched by Pro Nishii, who never compromises on anything he works on, not only offers high-quality sunglasses designs and frames, but also uses high-quality lenses that are polymerized directly in a spherical glass mold! Not only do they protect your eyes from UV rays up to 400nm, they are also half the weight of regular glass lenses, so they won't put stress on your ears or nose even when worn for long periods of time! This latest shipment has been receiving orders from sensitive customers who are always on the lookout, and stock is running low! Why not try OZONE Eyewear this summer and stand out from the crowd?

Learn moreOnly a few left! This is your chance to create your favorite size of "RNF'96" in your favorite color!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. A special project that started the other day! The ultimate all-round model, "Choose your favorite color from 10 double-sided airbrush colors and order a special 'RNF'96' with MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY!" has been a huge hit and there are only a few left! This is one of my favorite models, and I had two, one just the right size and one overflow size! Those of you who follow this blog will know how great the RNF'96 is, but it's great not only in just the right size, but also when ridden overflowing as a "mini mid-length"! What makes it so great is that the RNF'96 is already great at catching waves, but when you ride it in overflow, it not only increases your paddle speed but also makes it easier to hook onto waves, allowing you to ride waves like crazy! And more! Although it is not quite as good as the perfect size, the RNF'96 is great for performance and moves so well that you would never guess it is an overflow, so it has performance that will satisfy even shortboarders! I've arbitrarily named Overflow's RNF'96 the "mini mid-length," and as the term "mid-length" suggests, even in slow sections where you would normally stop, you can simply ride more forward and not stop, and you can easily ride more nose-first and noseride! If you live in an apartment and have a long surfboard, you can't fit it in the elevator! However, it is also highly recommended for those who prefer surfboards with more buoyancy! So far, we have been recommending the overflow ``RNF'96'', but the ``RNF'96'' is loved all over the world by professionals and amateurs alike, so we generally recommend riding it in the correct size first! However, the monster model "RNF'96" created by the world's No. 1 shaper "MAYHEM" is a super fun model even as a mini mid-length, so we wanted to introduce it to you! [ap_show_item 351937] For the limited-edition "Choose your favorite color from 10 double-sided airbrush colors and order a special "RNF'96" with MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY!", please choose a color from the following 10 colors and a size from the "RNF'96" stock dimensions! *Both sides are the same color. *The image is a sample color. *Please note that since this item is handmade, there may be slight individual differences in color. *Delivery is expected to take place in approximately 2 months.

The standard fin for "RNF'96" has always been "MR2+1"! Of course, since they are fins, it will vary depending on the wave conditions and your preferences, but try the "MR2+1" first!

Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Love Surf staff member Ryuji did it! Last weekend, I won the Senior Men's class at the NSA Saitama South Branch Qualifying held at Marquis Point in Kamogawa! The conditions on the day were slightly windy, with stiff to thick breaks, but Ryuji participated in the branch qualifying round wearing the ``DRIVER3.0'' that he has loved and used since joining the company, and the ``ANCHOR Wetsuits'' that he recently completed. The conditions were difficult with a lack of power and the surface being warped, and there were some heats where he struggled, but he managed to win with the ``DRIVER3.0'' that he uses and trusts every day! https://www.instagram.com/p/C86O5gfSAf4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Ryuji's impressions of "DRIVER3.0". The DRIVER 3.0 is a high-performance model ridden by CT riders! It performs particularly well in waves I love, but the double concave bottom makes it feel like the water is sticking to it, and in deep waves it feels like it's digging into the wave and sticking to it until the end of the turn. It's a great model and I love it. I think everyone should have one!! When MAYHEM visited Japan recently, he showed them his surfing and was praised by them! Ryuji will be working hard to achieve good results at the All Japan Championships to be held in Miyazaki in September, so please support him! If you are interested in the "DRIVER series", Ryuji will provide you with consultation on sizing and riding techniques, so if you are a competitor or a surfer who likes high-performance models, please feel free to visit us and contact us! Click here to find out more about "DRIVER3.0"! *If sizes are sold out, please contact us at 03-3732-5532!
Learn moreFirst come, first served! Performance mid-length! We've got a limited stock of the sold-out LOST "SMOOTH OPERATOR" in KIRI-FLEX RESIN COLOR!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. We have restocked a small quantity of the LOST "SMOOTH OPERATOR" KIRI-FLEX RESIN COLOR, which features a special paulownia stringer and is a Japan-exclusive blank that sold out last time and the time before that. Mid-length surfboards are a global trend, and it seems that more and more people are riding them in Japan as well. However, many of the models currently on the market are simply scaled-down longboards that simply catch the wave and go straight without moving, making them not the kind of surfboards that shortboarders like us can enjoy. However, the performance mid ``SMOOTH OPERATOR'', designed by ``MAYHEM'', which excels in designing high-performance models and was the driving force behind its No. 1 ranking in the WSL Shapers Rankings, is a model that sells itself for its performance that is unimaginable from its size! As you can see in the photo above, even if the offshore currents are strong, we will continue to move forward! The largest number of surfers in Japan are in their 40s and 50s. 1. A surfboard that allows you to catch more waves with less effort as your physical strength declines with age. 2. I want the performance of a shortboard, not just the quick take-off of a sponge board. 3. It is small enough to fit in the apartment building elevator. 4. A surfboard with a cool shape that looks great just by holding it or looking at it. 5. The board's gliding performance allows you to easily ride all the way to the inside without stopping, even on sections where a shortboard would stop you! It's selling so well because it perfectly meets the needs of those who: LOST's first mid-length model, the SMOOTH OPERATOR, was developed by MAYHEM for himself and was designed to be used primarily in knee-high waves, but it is also a performance mid-length model that can be used with confidence to charge into double-over waves at special reef breaks, such as those where MAYHEM himself has taken numerous photo shots. If you take a look at the photo above, it's pretty clear! [ap_show_item 165521] [ap_show_item 354882] [ap_show_item 355071] [ap_show_item 355073] [ap_show_item 165166] [ap_show_item 165278] LOST's "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is made with "MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY" and will celebrate its 5th anniversary in 2024. It is a special model that uses the extremely rare "Kiri-Flex" that cannot be obtained even in California, where it originated. And more! The glass job was done by Yuri, who is recognized as the best in Japan by Nishii Pro, who has seen many glassers. I also saw it, and it turned out to be of high quality, worthy of the special Kiri-Flex and SMOOTH OPERATOR! Of course, the price of the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" that arrived this time is "Kiri-Flex" and contains vivid resin colors, ¥169,000 Tax included ¥185,900 is! [ap_show_item 84968] We recommend a quad setup with the MB KEEL QUAD, like Pro Nishii! We are currently in the transition between spring and summer, but we highly recommend the "SMOOTH OPERATOR," which allows you to easily ride lots of waves even with full winter gear! [ap_show_item 193636] [ap_show_item 104076] [ap_show_item 74356] together! The SMOOTH OPERATOR is mid-length, so please use a 7-foot leash cord! To purchase "SMOOTH OPERATOR", click here!
