Learn moreSorry for the wait! LOST "SMOOTH OPERATOR" MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY RESIN COLOR Kiri Flex all sizes available now!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The best-selling model "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is made with a special foam exclusive to Japan, made with {KIRI-FLEX}. The sold-out sizes of MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY RESIN COLOR are back in stock and available for immediate delivery! The monster model ``SMOOTH OPERATOR'' is a board that sells out frequently and is great at crowded beach breaks as well as special point breaks overseas, so you can ride lots of waves! This is LOST's first mid-length board that can be ridden by both men and women. If you actually take a look at the ``SMOOTH OPERATOR'', which ``MAYHEM'' released as the optimal solution, you will see that one of the reasons for its popularity is that it has higher performance than mid-length boards offered by other brands that only have a fast take-off. And more! This "SMOOTH OPERATOR" uses a special foam exclusive to Japan, {KIRI-FLEX}, and has been finished by "Mr. Yuri," who has seen many glass jobs both in Japan and overseas, and is said to be the No. 1 in Japan by "Pro Nishii," making it a high-quality product worthy of the name "MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY"!

The SMOOTH OPERATOR is a larger surfboard than a standard shortboard, so we strongly recommend using a 7-foot leash cord!

Learn moreNEW FOR 2025! We have just two new models in stock: the RNF'96 KING FISH, which inherits the DNA of the LOST RNF'96.
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. It's no secret that the RNF'96, which has captivated surfers around the world, both professional and amateur, is the ultimate all-around model that can be ridden in a wide range of wave types, from reef breaks to beach breaks! Inheriting the DNA of "RNF'96", Even easier! Ride the waves even more! The one that lets you glide is "RNF'96 KING FISH"! The new model "RNF'96 KING FISH" is perfect for surfers over 40 who don't live right in front of the ocean and can only go to the beach so often due to work or family commitments. The long length makes paddling very easy, but the tail rocker, thin nose and tail, and repositioning of the fin box mean you can make smooth turns without having to step back with your back foot all the way to the tail end like with high-performance models! Are you a fan of RNF'96 but want to make it even easier? He glides on the waves when the other shortboarders can't get a hold of them, runs through sections that look like they'll turn back into a swell, and puts in some action on the renovated, firm sections! The RNF'96 KING FISH makes it easy to do this kind of riding! [ap_show_item 367432] [ap_show_item 367244] The double ender carried over from "RNF'96" is still alive and well!

Learn moreOnly a few left! PLACEBO "SMOOTH OPERATOR" 6'6" only available for immediate delivery!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" model is extremely popular among surfers who want stylish and easy surfing, and has sold so well that we've almost run out of stock boards! The secret to its popularity is that it's in great condition! Catch lots of waves! You can take action in the stretched section! Easy fun surfing possible! The SMOOTH OPERATOR can ride a lot of waves without feeling like a mid-length board, but it doesn't feel like it's completely stuck! The SMOOTH OPERATOR, created by MAYHEM, a leader in surfboard design, is different from old-school mid-length surfboards in that it is a dynamic and action-packed board! Have you seen one of the best episodes of the "Arashimurata" channel, "[He's Amazing] We had Joe ride the popular mid-length! [Currently ranked 3rd in Asia]"? You should definitely check out the episode where professional surfer Joe Azuchi rides the PLACEBO SMOOTH OPERATOR in style! Check out the stance position of professional player Joe Azuchi! Your stance is quite narrow, and both feet are positioned forward in relation to the surfboard! The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is a long model, so by moving not only your back foot but also your front foot, you can increase your speed without pumping around or getting left behind by the waves! On the other hand, when you want to perform a solid action, you move not only your hind legs but also your front legs backward. As a result, the stance width is also wider. I know I'm repeating myself, but with longer surfboards, movement on the board is especially key! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBrAEJtYB6g The PLACEBO "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is semi-permanently resistant to sun damage and boasts overwhelming strength compared to POLYESTER surfboards. The reason it is popular with many surfers is that it requires no paddling strength, your arms won't get tired easily, and you can operate smoothly all the way to the end of the wave!
