Learn moreWe are pleased to announce the release date and time for LOST's "SMOOTH OPERATOR" MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY RESIN COLOR, which was recently released on YOUTUBE!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. LOST's "SMOOTH OPERATOR," which features special paulownia wood stringers, was recently released on YouTube. The inspection is finally over and we're ready to release it! LOST's first mid-length model, the "SMOOTH OPERATOR," was developed by MAYHEM for himself and was designed to be used primarily in slow, breaking knee-high waves.However, it is a performance mid-length model that can also be used to safely charge into double-over waves at special reef breaks, such as those where MAYHEM himself has taken numerous photo shots. 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! Even after the last shipment was sold out, we received many inquiries from our customers asking, "When will it be restocked?" The price of the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" that arrived this time is "Kiri-Flex" and contains vivid resin colors, What! ¥169,000 Tax included ¥185,900 It will be! Release date and time! March 17th (Sun) 8:00 PM Now on sale at the Love Surf web store! The reason why the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is so popular is that it is designed by "MAYHEM," which is ranked No. 1 in the WSL Shaper's Rankings and has a reputation for its performance, even among mid-length boards. Unlike the mid-length surfboards currently being released on the surfboard market by various brands, from the perspective of us shortboarders, they are all just quick to take off and are not sluggish! The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" designed by "MAYHEM" has amazing performance considering its size! Of course, the SMOOTH OPERATOR can quickly take off from swells even in thick waves that are difficult to break, and it can easily ride all the way to the inside without stopping even in sections where a shortboard would stop! 6'2"x 20.00"x2.56"(188×50.8×6.5cm) 34.0cl Ideal weight: 50-70kg To purchase, click here! *Available for purchase on the Love Surf web store from 8pm on Sunday, March 17th! 6'4"x20.25"x2.63"(193×51.4×6.68cm) 36.55cl Ideal weight: 60-80kg To purchase, click here! *Available for purchase on the Love Surf web store from 8pm on Sunday, March 17th! 6'6"x20.50"x2.65"(198×52.1×6.73cm) 38.5cl Ideal weight: 65-85kg To purchase, click here! *Available for purchase on the Love Surf web store from 8pm on Sunday, March 17th! 6'8"x20.75"x2.70"(203×52.71×6.85cm) 40.75cl Ideal weight: 70-90kg To purchase, click here! *Available for purchase on the Love Surf web store from 8pm on Sunday, March 17th! 6'10"x 21.0"x 2.75"(208×53.3×6.99cm) 43.25cl Ideal weight: 75-95kg To purchase, click here! *Available for purchase on the Love Surf web store from 8pm on Sunday, March 17th! 7'0"x21.25"x 2.82"(213×54.0× 7.16cm) 46.25cl Ideal weight: 80-90kg To purchase, click here! *Available for purchase on the Love Surf web store from 8pm on Sunday, March 17th!

Learn moreThe "Lost Surfboards Custom Order Fair" is on until the end of this week! Here are the top 3 models that have been custom ordered so far!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The Lost Surfboards Custom Order Fair will end as early as this weekend. More customers than usual are taking advantage of the Custom Order Fair, as they are able to place custom orders at great prices before the price increase in 2024. In the meantime, we would like to introduce the top 3 models that were ordered in this custom order! Everyone is very curious about this, right? Personally, I think an unexpected model is number one! So, let's start with No. 3! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2y-chuLuNq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== No.3 is the ultimate all-round model, the RNF'96! This is the model that Pro Nishii uses most often, as he changes between dozens of surfboards a year, including those for testing! He has tried out bikes made from a variety of materials, including Polyester, Light Speed, Black Sheep Built, and Double Dart, but his current first chase is the Black Sheep Built ``RNF'96''! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2JjWPqvy70/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link No.2 is the "SMOOTH OPERATOR," which is so popular that it is currently impossible to purchase a new surfboard in any material! This is a legendary model that has gained such a good reputation that it is coveted not only by Love Surf users, but by surfers all over Japan. One of the reasons for its popularity is that it has been praised by a wide range of surfers, from stylish surfers to those who are not confident in their paddling strength, including MAYHEM, the developer of the SMOOTH OPERATOR, as well as Pro Nishii and Oton! The glorious No. 1 is, The SUB DRIVER2.0 is a small wave weapon that is always included in the quivers of LOST riders who compete on the world stage! It's an all-around board for Japanese waves, and has recently become the first choice for professional surfer Arashi Murata. LOST's best high performance model for small waves. At the last custom order fair, we narrowly missed out on making it into the top 5, but this time we're currently No. 1! What's noteworthy is that almost everyone has placed a custom order with DOUBLE DART! Many other brands have released all-carbon boards, but the LOST DOUBLE DART is not too stiff. This high-performance material provides firm flex and high rebound, generating speeds you've never experienced before. And more! During the LOST Custom Order Fair, you can order a custom board for almost the same price as a stock board, so there's no reason not to order one! What is common to this "LOST Custom Order Fair" is, Because I couldn't get it on the stock board! To make sure you get it! In your own size! Most of our customers use decals that are not available in stock to custom order a special, one-of-a-kind surfboard! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxkBxZLOa2i/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== In addition to the top 3 models, the "SUP DRIVER," "MICKS TAPE," "RAD RIPPER," and "3.0STUB DRIVER" are also popular, so the rankings may change in the end! The "Lost Custom Order Fair" will be held for a limited time until this weekend, Sunday, March 17th! "Lost Custom Order Fair" contents... 1. The "custom order fee," which normally costs ¥22,000 (tax included), is free! 2. We will give you a free gift of the non-sale item "MAYHEM & SLOW TIDE QUICK DRY TOWEL" which is only available at Love Surf in Japan! That project that was a big hit last time! The "Consultation session to decide on a one-of-a-kind custom board with professional golfer Nishii" is also being held and is very popular! There are still some dates and times available, so if you have plans in mind, please contact Love Surf as soon as possible! We have been in partnership with MAYHEM for over 28 years and are number one in Japan! Why not have Pro Nishii, one of the top five surfers in the world who knows LOST Surfboards inside and out, consult with you to custom order the perfect surfboard for you! If you would like to have a consultation with Pro Nishii, please let us know your first, second, and third preferred dates and times using Love Surf's Purchase Consultation Form or by calling 03-3732-5532. We will then contact you with the confirmed date and time. Last year, we had a huge turnout for our "Consultation Session to Decide on a One-of-a-Kind Custom Board with Pro Nishii," and many people had trouble finding the date and time they wanted, so if you have plans in mind, please contact us as soon as possible. Of course, you can also laminate the color and position of ``LOST LAM'' and ``LUVSURF LAM'', which are unique to custom orders, so it's sure to be a one-of-a-kind surfboard! You can inquire about custom orders at our physical stores, over the phone, or through our website, so please feel free to contact us!
Learn moreWhat's amazing is that it uses tapered stringers made from a certain material, which is the first of its kind in the world!
For those of you who are avidly following this 24'S blog, we would like to share some new information before the YouTube video is released. The other day, Nishii went to Lost Surfboards Japan Made in Quality Shonan Factory to pick up his surfboard. That board is...this board! The Smooth Operator is a highly popular and difficult to obtain model that is currently almost sold out. This board was made by Shonan Factory's resin color master, Yuri Glassworks owner. This board was carefully laminated with resin and colored glass by Yuri. And what's amazing is that it was the first in the world to be adopted... It uses tapered stringers made of a certain wooden material. It has more rebound and speed than the previous "Smooth Operator" POLY board! It fits the waves flexibly and provides a great ride!!! Please look forward to the release on YouTube. We are currently preparing to sell stock boards as well! If you are interested, please contact Love Surf now! https://youtu.be/btcQSj3M6gc
