Release date and time has been decided! We are announcing the release date and time for LOST's "RNF'96" BLACK SHEEP BUILT AIR BRUSH!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The latest release of the classic "Round Nose Fish," "RNF'96," by Black Sheep Built Air Brush MADE IN USA, has successfully passed inspection and the release date has been decided! Everyone, please bring "RNF'96" Black Sheep Built Air Brush MADE IN USA release date and time! * Available for online purchase from 8:00 PM on Sunday, June 23rd . You can purchase it at Love Surf physical stores from 12:00 on the following day, Sunday, June 24th! The last time we got it, the "RNF'96" Black Sheep Built Air Brush MADE IN USA sold out in the blink of an eye. It uses the same ultra-lightweight EPS foam from MARKO FOAM that's used in LOST USA, so even in powerless waves, it has a firm flex that gives it high rebound and converts it into speed. Even if you're not a fan of EPS, you can handle it just like Polyester without any discomfort! "MARKO FOAM" is a historic company founded in California in 1961. With denser beads and finer cells than conventional EPS foam, it offers excellent flexibility, strength, and ease of shaping, making it one of the world's most cutting-edge EPS blank companies, supported by top shapers around the world, including MAYHEM! https://www.instagram.com/p/CzQUedivQLx/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== The deck is Black Sheep Built, combining Triax carbon and fiberglass for durability and performance. The +30/-30 fiber, which is angled rather than 90 degrees to the stringer line from nose to tail, is a LOST original EPS material that controls the twisting and return of the surfboard, speeding it up. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2y-chuLuNq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== The newly arrived "RNF'96" Black Sheep Built Air Brush MADE IN USA has the same purple airbrush specifications as the "RNF'96" that is so popular with "Pro Nishii"! The purple airbrush is visible from land when you do bottom turns or air, and from behind when you do lip action or air, which looks really cool! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0h2HgIuPXb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== LOST's original EPS technology "BLACK SHEEP BUILT" has been used in competition scenes such as CS and QS and has produced good results. Not only does it have the paddling speed and light, fast gliding performance that only EPS can provide, it also has great speed growth with high rebound after gentle flexing! This is LOST's representative EPS material, and we recommend it to anyone who has avoided EPS until now! For a description of the materials used in LOST's "Black Sheep Built," click here!

We've kept everyone waiting! We've decided to stock two models from Presebo, the Smooth Operator and the Round Nose Round, which were previously sold out! They will be arriving at Love Surf soon, so we'll be starting pre-orders. We strongly recommend that anyone considering purchasing a Presebo Smooth Operator pre-order, as they may sell out before they arrive. This is your chance to finally get your hands on the Boss Smooth Operator, the extremely popular Presebo model that's the hardest to find in Japan!

Learn moreWe apologize for the long wait! We have good news for those who missed out on the first shipment of 2024! We are now accepting pre-orders for the new PLACEBO Surfboards!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Sorry for the wait! PLACEBO Surfboards are as popular as ever, and we've received many inquiries such as "Do you have them in stock?" and "When will the next shipment arrive?", so we've decided to stock them again! Ranked No. 1 in the 2023 WSL Shapers Ranking! MAYHEM, which is already leading the 2024 WSL Shapers Rankings by a large margin, has a lineup of six models this season, mainly designed for Japanese waves and Japanese users. Of particular note are the "ROUND NOSE ROUND," which is rumored to be the bike on which Oton has had the best ride of his life, and the "SMOOTH OPERATOR," also known as Smooth Oton by some users! PLACEBO Surfboards do not discolor in the sun, are very durable, and can be ridden for a long time in good condition, which is something you would never think of with a POLYESTER surfboard, but the performance of the surfboards is also excellent! It flexes smoothly on the waves, which is the most important part of a surfboard, and has excellent performance and speed, so it has received very high praise from surfers who have ridden it! When you combine the surfboard design by the No. 1 shaper "MAYHEM" with the one and only materials "FLEXLITE" and "DURAFLEX", you can't go wrong! Most models are currently sold out! Alternatively, as there are only a few PLACEBO Surfboards left, this is a restock and we expect many models and sizes to sell out by pre-order only, without ever making it to the stores, so if you're looking to ride during the peak season, don't miss out! Once the items arrive, we will ship them in the order in which they were reserved. To make a reservation for PLACEBO Surfboards, click here!

They are also highly functional, with excellent absorbency, quick-drying properties, and UV protection, which is why they are selling so well.

Please consider ordering soon. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/353962/ Applications for MAYHEM's Japan shaping tour are open until next Sunday, June 9th.

An additional custom order fee of 11,000 yen will be added to that. The normal custom order fee is 22,000 yen, but this time we are holding a MAYHEM Japan Order Fair where you can get it 50% off at 11,000 yen, so please apply. We will also be giving away a signed, not-for-sale towel. Another thing we've been getting a lot of inquiries about is the delivery date. MAYHEM himself will complete the shaping in Fukushima by June 27th, and then the glass will be processed, with delivery by the end of August. This is much faster than a regular USA custom order, so we hope you'll consider it. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/353962/ There are only 10 left to order, so please consider ordering soon! We recommend ordering the "Formula KIRI-FLEX Stringer Form," which is lightweight and has excellent springback performance and is only available in Japan, for an additional 11,000 yen!
