We arrived in California with Masato and immediately started shooting at LOWERS.
Nishii and Masato, I arrived in California last night and immediately started shooting at Lower. In the lower part of the ocean, swells from the south have been continuing for several days. On the first day, Masato went into the sea after a quick swim. Before I knew it, I had been surfing for five hours.

The design for inserting these two carbon fibers is currently patent pending. Please be careful not to copy. I'll report back from CA tomorrow.

Los Angeles, California, where Hollywood is located, has many clear, stable days and is the best place in the world for filming movies, but it's rare to have a windy day like today.

Learn morePart 6! Check out the riding photos of Nishii that have not been published in the STJ magazine "East Taiwan."
The sixth installment! "Eastern Taiwan" trip, photographed by photographer Ken Yu, who has not yet been featured in STJ magazine. Please take a look at Nishii's riding photos. Looking at this photo reminds me of the good waves. The swell breaks nicely to the left. The riding videos also focused on left riding. This 5'9" V2-SB was fast and worked great. This reverse turn trimming of the wave is also shown in the video. This is the first round of barrels in the afternoon of the first day. This board is a PLACEBO! The bottom turn on the backside also looks so beautiful in underwater photos. The backlit barrel ride is beautiful. This is a photo from behind the waves. There is another photo between this one and the one above. I will save this photo as I will be using it on my website. This photo is typical of Kenyu, with its beautiful silhouette. The photographer swam behind Nishii and took pictures as he passed by. This is another photo that shows just how amazing Kenyu's swimming ability is! Nishii had planned to go to eastern Taiwan again during the upcoming holidays, but personal reasons meant he couldn't go, so looking at these photos makes him want to go again even more. The appeal of eastern Taiwan is that you can surf in your trunks in the middle of winter in Japan. Posted by Luvsurf .

You can watch the video of Eastern Taiwan below: https://hybrid.ei-publishing.co.jp/ 1730-0080 (Hybrid Book Code) This also moves quickly in the video, but it looks different in the photo. When it comes to water shots, the professional's key is the distance from the photographer. This is from behind the waves. It's a typical Kenyu photo. This also has a wide open sky and is very artistic. The layback has recently become one of Masato's special moves. Its long limbs make it look stylish. Your form is starting to look more like Andy's. This is such a good photo that it would be a shame to show it on a blog. He said that he had taken enough photos in just two days to be published in STJ magazine. The waves in eastern Taiwan were constant. There's still more to come, so I'll post more photos soon! Posted by Luvsurf .

It's MEXICO DAY 2. Start your morning offshore! You can see a large luxury cruise ship offshore. The waves were bigger than yesterday. It was also Shou & Kei's father's birthday, At Masaki's villa in front of the point, I am staying here with photographer Masuda. Masaki was riding the new swell set waves that came on his birthday. When you reach the inside of Masaki-san, you will come across a section. The pelicans are also watching the lip action! The wind was light all day today and the waves were good. There was also a barrel section like this. My current fad is grab rail cutback. The waves were perfect for a test ride on a new board. For lunch, Tetsu, the owner of the tuna shop, will serve you the finest tuna. Masa, who works at a sea urchin restaurant, brought us some of the finest sea urchin. The waves in the evening were also great, perfect for a test ride. When the waves are good, you can bring out the board's performance and see the individuality of the board's concept design. We also filmed a video, so please look forward to its release! Posted by Luvsurf .
Learn moreNishii entered Mexico to test the performance of the new DIABLO model.
Nishii entered Mexico to test the performance of the new DIABLO model. The waves are perfect. This is a test to see how well we can handle such deep waves. Photographer Masuda also took the photos. Even on these tube-shaped waves, takeoff should be done without getting caught. That's what's so great about the DIABLO model! "Fast paddling" means "you can take on deep waves quickly." I eat tacos and get ready for tomorrow's shoot. Please look forward to the release of the videos and photos we took! Posted by Luvsurf .
