After that, SIMPO went to Shape Factory and met MAYHEM. I ordered a total of 10 models, including the V2-ROCKET, WHIPLASH-TB, F1-STUB, and DRIVER models. When I went to the LOST surfboard warehouse, I saw countless boards lined up waiting to be shipped. Of course, among the boards on display were about 80 that will be sent to Love Surf. Among them are custom order boards made by color foam, We also have the popular Colorform ORCA and SUB-DRIVER-JP stock boards. Mayhem was surfing at LOWERS in the morning. In the afternoon, I worked steadily in the shaping room until late at night.

Learn moreGLASS Techniques from France has come to San Clemente!
Here's a technique that came to San Clemente from France. There is a method called tinting, which involves adding color to polyester resin. Usually, thicker cloth fibers (such as Volan cloth) are used, This resulted in a heavy board and reduced performance, At LOST, we now offer the ability to create boards by adding color to our existing POLYESTER resin and cloth. So, the board became heavy when wrapped in TINT. It is now possible to produce boards with such a beautiful, transparent texture while maintaining almost the same weight. Clear boards are great, but Luvsurf also has beautiful stock color boards like these in stock. These designs and colors are a combination that you wouldn't expect to find at Lost.

Nishii went surfing for the first time on a larger Trestles board. The upper part looked like this and was larger than usual, and it seems the waves have been small for the past few weeks, so the ocean was crowded. It seems that the swells were hitting the San Diego area and closing out the area. The board used is a 5'10" F1-STUB. After catching a few good waves, I met up with Mayhem for a meeting. The waves at Mayhem have gotten bigger, so we finished the meeting quickly. I went to Middlesborough to surf when the evening tide was good. The Mayhem is a 6'4" round tail that has just been shaped and glassed due to its size. We surfed until dark and then jammed until we were exhausted.
