『DAY7』 East Taiwan size has gone down, but the bust size is still there.
There are surfable sized waves every day. Police officers come on patrol in the evening Masato in the parking lot There are no lifeguards on the beach, but there is something like this: The weather was nice all day today so I did some underwater photography. Today Nishii used Kolohe's FCS2 fins, size M, in the front and size S in the center. Since it was our last night, the staff at 5 Surf, where we were staying, threw us a BBQ. Taiwanese style roasted chicken. The BBQ is so delicious like this. A group of people who were traveling around Taiwan on foot were staying there and enjoyed a BBQ. We all took a commemorative photo. Nishii will surf one round tomorrow morning and arrive at Haneda in the evening. Posted by Luvsurf .

Surfing the waves at the mouth of the river. Kenyu, the photographer who took the photos of the surf grass mat. I also went to these places for sightseeing. The support staff are so kind as to wash everything from wetsuits to car mats every time. They will also clean the inside of your car with a broom. I also washed my dog. It looks comfortable. A scene before surfing Lunch is at a food stall. There are 7-Elevens everywhere. Tapioca shop. With the Ahus from 5 Surf where we were staying, I went to try some indigenous food.

Learn moreToday I tried filming my line of sight while surfing using GO PRO.
The first board I rode in the morning was the LOST 5'8" SUB-DRIVER-JP XTR-FX. This is Nishii, who is careful about entering from the good and bad. Durian loves riding the 5'5" LAYZ POTATO. As expected, the size increased! Nishii used GO PRO to film his line of sight while surfing. Set it up like this so that the camera is facing your head at eye level. The onshore winds were blowing and stopping, and it was sunny and cloudy, so I spent the whole day taking photos. Stay tuned for the release!

The waves around San Clemente today are pretty small, I went to Huntington Beach, a 30-minute drive north, because I heard the waves were good. The parking lot is also full. During the day, the sun was so strong that it felt like midsummer, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, and I would have gotten burned if I hadn't applied Sunscoolin. Southside Pier Point, the south side of the large Huntington Beach pier, The photos were taken while moving around from point to point at Northside Pier Point, north of the pier. Nishii is currently test riding the 2014 model. He will provide his feedback to Mayhem. We are working hard to make the retail version that you will be riding even easier than the prototype board, so please look forward to the announcement! Posted by Luvsurf .

Unlike the clear skies of yesterday, Rainy weather in San Clemente San Clemente Northside Pier San Clemente Southside Pier The waves here looked good and it was empty, so we decided to go surfing. The board I rode was 5'8" BEACH BUGGY. After that, we went to the LOST surfboard factory. Beautifully finished airbrush boards Mayhem is shaping the surfers' boards every day from morning until night as the WCT season begins. In the midst of his busy schedule, Mayhem showed us the prototype fins they had designed for Japan. Since this is still in development testing, the fin image area will remain black. Today I also went to SHAW and Hydroflex in Oceanside. I met with the CEO, Richie, and asked him if he could create a special hydroflex board that would suit the wave conditions in Japan. We were given a tour of the factory, where photography is prohibited, and the production process of the Hydroflex board was explained to us. We started the project by having them show us all the board materials, suggesting several material combinations and board designs for the Japanese market, and having them create a prototype model.

Today, OC has been covered in thick clouds since the morning. The wind is strong and the waves are bad, so no surfing. When I went to the LOST surfboard factory to check the finish of the board, There were a lot of short boards like this. This is for a trade show in Florida in January 2013. This is Teri Shin's specialty, hand painting. I found a custom-ordered board from Japan, ATUSHI's, that was already shaped. This is the "DSD" blank cutting machine specifically for center stringers. This is a monitor of the blank cutting machine "AKU," which can also cut stringerless blanks. MAYHEM and MTG are located at LOST Surfboards in another location.
