I went to Chuchukan.
This morning I went to Chuchukan. Here is a panoramic view of the point. Walloon of Chuchukan. The person taking a photo of the chashu appetizer at the noodle shop is This is Isseki and Kenken. The size of the waves is as follows: The waves are small like this, but they are fan waves. I tried riding the MONK and even though it was overflowing, it was easy to control. I was able to make sharper turns than I expected, so please look forward to the video on the DVD!

Bali on the 13th. I went there because I wanted to surf at Medewi. Unfortunately the waves were small that day so we went surfing at Balian. A commemorative photo with Deco-san. Dave is a 28-year-old young man from South Africa who is on a surf trip. He said Lost is very popular in South Africa. They were surprised and envious because we were all on Lost. On the way there, we sneaked into the morning market. Fishmonger, Cake shop, Egg shop, Greengrocer, Duck shop, They also sell chicks. Ramadan has started from today, so I have the day off work and am visiting from areas other than Bali. There were a lot of people at Kuta Beach. There was a huge traffic jam around Kuta and cars couldn't move forward.
Learn moreFirst time surfing in Uluwatu.
The waves were small everywhere today, so I surfed for the first time in Uluwatu. Because it is small, it is difficult to make it into a tube, It was a wave that allowed for continuous rips. This is the mountain of fried shrimp that we all shared. This is my first duck, and it's delicious! The locals of Uluwatu were excited to see the parabolic and coil waves for the first time!
Learn moreI went to Balian to take some photos.
Today, we left the hotel at 4am and drove for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I went to Balian to take some photos. The waves were head high with a set of waves from the main left break. We surfed for about four hours, constantly changing boards. The waves gradually became long walls as we headed towards the high tide at 11am. I also tried out various fins. In the afternoon, we took explanatory photos for the board by the hotel pool and in the garden. We managed to make it in time for sunset, battling the red ants on the grass. Mr. Kato is in charge of the web design that built this site. He will be editing the DVD of this trip. He is helping us with the filming so that the DVD will be packed with content. This DVD tie-up sponsor: Masuko, the young president of Surf Supplement, also took photos of the supplements himself. We're leaving at 5 o'clock tomorrow.
Learn moreKuramasu and Gumiche
The boards to be photographed this time are lined up in Walloon, Klamath. Three cars, a total of 12 riders and film crew members. There are three Parabolic SD3s in different sizes. First time at Keramas! The quality of the waves is in the top 5 of all the right breaks I've ever surfed, and they're amazing waves with tubes and lips. The waves at Kuramasu were as good as rumored, and we were able to take great photos and enjoy surfing. Our photographer, Dennis, is half Aussie and half Balinese. The second round was a fun surf with Gumiche. The waves here are messy, so RNF, ROCKET, CONQUEST and MONK were all great. We also tested Aurora's new design and color fins. The 4.5 MICRO FIBER FIN comes in a different color. The zebra and stripes are designs added to the Conquest fins. Coming soon as a tri-fin set and a quad set. Stay tuned!! This time, we were accompanied by legendary Balinese surfer Jodie (75kg), a heavy 43-year-old, so all the locals were happy to let us take their photos. He landed two consecutive backside 360s on the backside vertical lip with the Conquest!! Super good!
Learn moreIt was stopped at Bali customs.
Yesterday, I was safe, or rather, I had a lot of surfboards, so as expected, It was stopped at Bali customs. I paid the tip to the attendant in a separate room and it went through without a hitch...I see, this is Bali! I pulled myself together and exchanged money with a gay guy at the airport... As a Bali beginner, I was fooled a little...lol Today, I went to the airport point in front of the Padora Hotel. 1R I've warmed up. This is Durian, our guide who will be taking care of us during our stay in Bali. Filming begins tomorrow.
Learn moreArrived in San Clemente.
Nishii arrived safely in San Clemente, California. My companion on this trip is a rental Toyota 4Runner. Located near the intersection of the 405 Freeway and the 5, this is the Lost Clothing Division office and warehouse. As you'd expect from an international surf brand, it's large and eye-catching. When I checked the lower section, I saw that the contest booths for the WCT tournament starting next week were already set up. We also spotted a Boost Mobile bus nearby! I'm looking forward to watching the WCT! Tomorrow we'll have a trade show report from San Diego!
Learn moreChris Ward goes to Central America!
A clip of Chris Ward's trip to Central America has been released. Chris's backhand tube riding is simply amazing! When the waves are big enough, Chris's tube riding style is so cool it's mesmerizing. He lays back and takes off, stalls, grab rails, and adjusts his speed to match the movement of the digging wave, showing the great potential he has in these types of waves.

This is a photo I took when I was in California recently. I'm posting this because I want everyone to see it. This is a board rack for team riders inside Lost's surfboard warehouse. The completed team rider boards are lined up here, with names written on yellow paper. This is the magic board of Presebo team rider Ash Nolan. The person holding it is Freddie, Presebo's US manager. This is the magic board used by Corey, which will be the new model for Presebo next season. The dents have been smoothed out, the fins removed, the board filled with putty and sanded, and it's ready to be scanned. If you look closely, you can see the WHIPLASH mark on this board. Mayhem is fascinated by the exquisite finish of the Conquest's special fins, which are made in Japan. Okkie on a Mayhem board. This is from a Billabong poster. XTR 5.C Parabolic Stringer in glass. XTR resin is measured on a digital scale, mixed with hardeners and carefully glassed. The person I thought was good came out of the water, and the surfer was It was a four-fin shark. That's all.
