The other day, Nishii filmed a YouTube video at Kamogawa Marquis. This YouTube video compares four different Smooth Operator materials. Here's a YouTube video that explains these materials in detail. If you have one of the popular Smooth Operators This is a great board that can be ridden by people of all levels, from konami to big waves. It's more than just a second board I would love for everyone to get their hands on this Smooth Operator. Not only Nishii, but also professional rider Masato Watanabe participated in the test ride. His riding was great too The commentary is also great, so please look forward to it being released on YouTube.
Learn moreNishii has arrived in California! It's been a while since I've been riding and I've realized how good it feels!
Nishii arrived in California. I immediately invited Mayhem to go surfing. Nishii had a fractured middle finger on his left hand, so surfing had been on hold for a while, but he was finally able to surf properly again, so today was his first time in a while to really get into the water. The board he chose for the day he returned to work was the Presebo Smooth Operator in 6'4". Mayhem, who hadn't seen the board in a while, praised the finish of the surfboard. He commented on how light the board is, how well-balanced its lightness is, and how it faithfully reproduces the form that Mayhem himself designed. He said that the outline, rails, and edges are particularly impressive. Presebo's Duraflex 4 is certainly sharp and has a sharp edge, making it feel really good to ride! Nishii also rode the Presebo Smooth Operator for the first time in a while, and was reminded of how good it felt! https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/product/349324/ We have all sizes available now!

Learn moreNishii's favorite board, the Smooth Operator, riding Black Sheep Built
Check out the photos of Nishii riding his favorite board, the Black Sheep Built "Smooth Operator," in the Mentawai recently. Mayhem originally developed the Smooth Operator for small waves, but he himself fell in love with the model and He has been conducting research and development himself and has tuned it up so that it can ride even large waves. Nishii also realized that this is an excellent board at the reef breaks in Mentawai. I encourage everyone to get a Smooth Operator and have fun. It's a great board in both small and big waves. https://youtu.be/dWQICqBTqa8

Learn moreNishii takes a photo! LOST's "SMOOTH OPERAITOR" resin colored "Matte 'MAYHEM' Biolos"
The summer-specific southerly swells came in and the size increased. On a rare day in California in the summer when you can surf in your trunks, I went to MAYHEM and LOWERS. The one that MAYHEM himself brought and rode is the one he owns the most. This is my favorite "SMOOTH OPERAITOR" model, which was researched, developed and designed for me to ride. The red lens color makes it easy to see even from a distance, making it easy to photograph. It was a busy day because the waves, weather and water temperature were good, Because it was a "SMOOTH OPERAITOR," he was able to catch a lot of great waves and it looked like he was having fun! The board size is 6'10" and 51.40CL. This is an example of how people over 50 can surf by choosing a board that takes advantage of adult-like buoyancy. I've obviously gained weight compared to before, but I'm still floating and sinking while waiting for the waves, unable to catch them. Please use this as a reference when choosing a board for adults so that you don't end up as a pathetic old man who pretends to be thin!
