We recommend the PLACEBO ROUND NOSE ROUND, which works great on Bali waves!
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHYL7SsvMp4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The PLACEBO "ROUND NOSE ROUND" was jointly developed based on the "Round Nose Fsih" and is also a favorite of Balinese surfing guide "Durian"! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG6XxKlTDCb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== The ROUND NOSE ROUND is a model designed by MAYHEM and Pro Nishii for Japanese waves and Japanese surfers. It is a model aimed at average surfers who enjoy surfing on their days off at the beach breaks where Japanese people usually surf, but it also works well in the waves of Bali! [ap_show_item 349222] The ROUND NOSE ROUND has been developed to be the ultimate paddle machine, and is designed to allow the surfboard to move smoothly even when riding in overflow, so it performs well not only on Japanese waves but also on Bali's reef breaks!

Learn moreAt the third WSL event, the MEO RIP CURL PRO PORTUGAL, the LOST team came in 1st and 2nd! Of course, Yago Dora and Caroline Marks are also FUWAXERS!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The third WSL event, MEO RIP CURL PRO PORTUGAL, was incredibly fun! Due to the time difference with Portugal, the match started in the evening Japan time, so I'm sure there were many people watching. Three out of the four finalists were from the LOST team, proving not only the skills of each rider, but also the high performance capabilities of the DRIVER3.0! And more! As far as I know! Three out of the four finalists in the third WSL event, the MEO RIP CURL PRO PORTUGAL, are FUWAXERS! The reason why competitors whose lives depend greatly on the results of contests use FU WAX is because it has excellent grip performance that cannot be replicated by other waxes! In fact, even though it is not supported by FU WAX, most CT tourers use it, which is proof of that! At the 2024 Paris Olympics, three men's gold, silver, and bronze medalists will be FUWAXERS! Women's gold medalist Caroline Marks is also a FUWAXER! For surfers who want to make their best riding, FU WAX is the way to go! Thanks to their results in Portugal, LOST Surfboards has returned to the No. 1 spot in the WSL Shapers Rankings! The next WSL event, the 4th, is the Surf City El Salvador Pro! Last year's women's final also featured Caroline Marks and Gabriela Bryan, just like Portugal, and in the men's final Yago Dora made it to the final, so it's a great fit for the LOST team! The LOST team will continue to perform well in the next race and there is no doubt they will widen their points gap even further! [ap_show_item 11799] [ap_show_item 11400] However, even if you use "FU WAX" in a season that is not suitable for the water temperature, the amazing 3D grip will be halved, so please make sure to use "FU WAX" that is appropriate for the point where you will be entering the water. If you haven't tried FU WAX yet, you should definitely give it a try - you'll understand once you try it! You'll immediately notice that the grip is incomparable to other waxes, and it will change the way you surf!

Learn moreNEW POST! I'll report my impressions of riding the powerful small wave model "PARTY PLATTER" DOUBLE DART, which can also produce action!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. I've actually been really interested in "PARTY PLATTER" DOUBLE DART for a while now, and I've been surfing it in a variety of conditions, from knee-high waves to chest-high waves, glassy windless waves, and windy, choppy conditions. I rode about 5 rounds! I borrowed the LOST『PARTY PLATTER』DOUBLE DART 5'4" x 21.25 x 2.50 33.25cl. Before riding it, I had recently been overeating and drinking too much, which has caused me to gain more weight than ever, to the point where I'm now at 66-67kg.However, the CL value is still higher than the surfboards I usually ride, so I imagined that although paddling and takeoff would be fast, the movement would be a little heavy, so I tried getting into the water with the previous template's ``MB'' fin in quad setting. The first thing I thought when I entered the water was that the paddle was fast, just as I had imagined! The combination of high buoyancy, DOUBLE DART, and board design made it easy to paddle out! And the take-off speed... It was faster than I expected! Some people find that short surfboards make it difficult to hook waves and take off as they wish, but the PARTY PLATTER DOUBLE DART hooks easily, probably thanks to its very wide tail, so it really feels like the ultimate small wave model. *On the other hand, takeoff can be difficult in deep-ditch conditions, but it's not a problem once you get used to it. And most importantly, I was amazed at the maneuverability of the surfboard! At first glance, the outline looks like a Simmons board, and the size is large, so I used the previous template's "MB" fins. However, the "PARTY PLATTER," which inherits the lineage of the "Bean Bag," "Couch Potato," and "SHONAN WARRIOR," is suitable for 66-67kg and comes in 5'4" x 21.25 x 2.50 fins. Even at 33.25cl, it was too light... Maybe the traction pads that are usually on the tail were missing, so the hind legs were a bit unsteady... After riding about three times, I was convinced that there was no mistake, so I went up once and changed the fins to "MB SPLIT KEEL QUAD"... This one! LOST『PARTY PLATTER』DOUBLE DART 5'4"×21.25×2.50 For 33.25cl, the MB SPLIT KEEL QUAD was the perfect solution! The surfboard is calm! Just flow! Hold the wave firmly at the bottom! The lip allows for sharp turns and releases, and it feels like you're riding a completely different surfboard! Anyway, what I felt when I tried riding it was, The paddle and takeoff performance was just as I expected, and the maneuverability was far better than I expected! And I was convinced that the combination of "PARTY PLATTER" and the ultra-lightweight and ultra-high-rebound "DOUBLE DART" was the strongest! The PARTY PLATTER will keep you happy not only in good conditions, but also in conditions that would make you give up on surfing, making it a model that every household will want to have! If you normally ride a surfboard with traction pads or want to perform better, we definitely recommend adding traction pads! For a description of the "PARTY PLATTER" model, click here!
