Today I tried surfing at Salt Creek. The board used is a 5'9" F1-SUTB, which is my first board. Clean is a clean overhead size. The slightly wider squash tail has a shifted peak. It matched well with the beach break. If you go to the Lost Surfboard Shape Factory, Taylor, who is in charge of machine cutting, Nishii had been longing for a custom-made POLYESTER jacket. They machine cut the double straight stringer foam for me. First, use a pencil to mark the center line of the blank to match the templet. This is where you place it on the machine's bed, and this is a very important step. The blank is fixed to the bottom surface with several suction cups. Look at the red glowing dot. It's coming out of this machine on the ceiling. Use the laser point to center it. Unlike DSD machines, AKU machines have a bed that moves back and forth. This round cutter blade moves according to the programmed data. First, a cut is made vertically from the center of the board towards the rail. When you go to the rail side, the cutter blade goes down like this, The wooden stringer is hard, so when the cutter blade passes through this part, It moves slowly and cuts cleanly. In this way, the rail shape is cut with incredible precision. When the deck surface is finished one side at a time from the center, Cut the bottom surface from the center one side at a time to complete the process. Burrs like this will form on the nose, so Finally, remove the burrs with a saw and the cutting process is complete. To use a machine to accurately cut the board, Mayhem's delicate programming and Taylor's settings are very important. Furthermore, each model at Lost is constantly updated based on rider feedback, A digitally cut clone board of the Magic Board based on the Magic Board data. Because they are delivered to you, every board is in good condition and there are no duds.

This is from Nishii, who is returning to Japan tomorrow, and he is posting from the Gold Coast on Sunday. Early in the morning, I went to check out the waves I was looking forward to. Duranbar was like this, The waves are small but we start surfing right away. The only board I brought on this trip was a 5'8" Scorcher model. The beaches on the Gold Coast are bustling with people on Sundays. Here is a commemorative photo of our accompanying staff member, Kabashima. This is in Surfers Paradise The top floor is a high-rise building called QDECK, which has 77 floors. Kolohe's sponsor, TARGET, was also there. This is the rental car we used on this trip: TARAGO (Estima). I was surprised to hear that in Australia, since it's a foreign car, a new one costs 5 million yen! The waves and wind direction were not good today either, Looking forward to the waves tomorrow.

They are bigger than I expected and have solid product development.
