...LOST VIDEO VAULT has begun! First up is the masterpiece "5'5" x 19 1/4" (42 minutes)
...LOST VIDEO VAULT has launched! These are difficult times in the world, but we wanted to add to your entertainment options. Over the next few weeks, we'll be streaming one classic surf video from LOST every three days. Sit back and enjoy these timeless classic time capsule films. Enjoy a simple and hassle-free experience. For the first three days, we will be showing the masterpiece "5'5" x 19 1/4"! (42 minutes) "In the fall of 1994, a young Chris Ward called me from Hawaii." "I saw Tom Curren riding the Fish at Logs. I want a short one like that. Can you make one for me?" Karen was riding a Tommy Peterson Fireball, a more tapered, pointy-nosed, swallowtail shortboard than a real fish board. I had no idea what Tom was doing, so I went to check out the vintage '70s twin fins hanging on the wall of a surf shop in town. Inspired, I went to my shaping room and came up with what would become the first "Round Nose Fish." It was a 5'5" round nose twin fin, 19 1/4" wide, swallow tail, with a deep vee under the front foot and a low rocker tail. We sent the board to Hawaii, Chris rode it and the history of RNF as you know it began. The following summer ('95), we did some RNF for Corey and a few others and started collecting footage. I started riding them myself. We released a VHS "What's Really Going Wrong" featuring both Chris and Corey's parts on early RNF. Mainly at Trestles. We noticed that people didn't appreciate RNF enough... yet. That fall, armed with some fresh RNFs and adding rear FCS fin plugs to improve the twin fin action, the guys returned to Hawaii with a videographer named Drew Todd! O'Neill began placing advertisements in trade magazines showing Chris and Cory riding their boards. When Andy saw it, he asked for one of those RNFs. At this point, my friends and other team riders And some surf shops. People were ready to try something new. -Matt Mayhem Bioros. After releasing Lost's first two VHS releases in 1997, "What's Really Going On" and "What's Really Going Wrong," 5'5" x 19 1/4" serves as the antithesis to the bubblegum pop world of Taylor Steele's movies. Our Lost movies are on the streets, at parties, in the water, no skits or acting, just real surfers. Surfboards at the time were like elf slippers or bananas, with too much rocker and not enough width or volume. But Chris Ward and Corey Lopez were riding the "little disc" RNF around the North Shore. They were ridden in all sorts of conditions and filmed by Drew Todd. As a result, the end of the 6'2" shortboard range begins, and when choosing from the board racks at surf shops, It became common to choose a board that was 3 to 4 inches shorter than a regular shortboard. Chris Ward. Corey Lopez. Andy Irons. Bruce Irons With a "small disc" RNF at his feet, In the mid-90s, it completely ignored the trends of modern surfboards and ran wild through the ocean. Mayhem and Chris Ward's small surfboard experiments and Mike Leola's film adaptations 5'5" x 19 1/4" has become one of the most cult surf films ever released. We are proud to have developed various versions of this board, the RNF, for over 25 years. So, sit back and enjoy the 42-minute masterpiece "5'5" x 19 1/4"! https://youtu.be/sh8tPw5wsSI Today is the last day of the Stockboard Fair! Don't miss it!!
Learn moreThere are only two left. LOST's first mid-length "SMOOTH OPERATER" is available at a great price during the LOST & PLACEBO Stockboard Fair!
LOST's first mid-length "SMOOTH OPRATER," which is extremely popular among those who want a stylish, adult surfing style without being too aggressive, has only two left. It can be used for everything from knee-deep waves that only a longboard can handle to high-speed, breaking waves over your head. With the "SMOOTH OPRATER" you can ride smoothly from the peak of the outside to the very end of the inside. https://vimeo.com/380507769 The SMOOTH OPRATER is long, so it does not require strong paddling power and can be taken off with little effort by both men and women. However, the SMOOTH OPRATER is not just a mid-length board with a fast takeoff. The "SMOOTH OPRATER" uses a special "tapered stringer" that gradually becomes thinner from the tip of the nose to the tail end, making it easy to flex and allowing you to achieve acceleration and rotation performance just by lightly stepping on the tail. The original pale pastel colored resin tint has a retro feel and the advantage of not absorbing heat easily. The way the cross is wrapped is also unique, with one layer of 4oz cross, and on top of that it is cut in a U shape to avoid the model logo, so Dolphin Through has a strong two-layer rail section. The biggest difference between this and other mid-length boards from other brands is not only the high take-off and paddling performance, but also the excellent movement that is unique to LOST and is hard to believe for a mid-length board! The SMOOTH OPRATER was released after extensive testing with MAYHEM's experience and LOST riders, and is a model that allows you to surf gracefully without getting tired, and can also attack from top to bottom. One of the attractions of the hybrid fin system is that you can choose a fin system to suit various waves and the rider's style. In addition to the standard tri-fin, you can enjoy a variety of boards, including quad fins, single fins, single + stabilizer, and twin + stabilizer. https://vimeo.com/329760941 You can definitely get great deals during the ``LOST&PLACEBO Stockboard Fair''! Ends today, March 22nd! Don't miss it! [ap_show_item 36886]

This photo shows a person who is currently unable to enter the country due to the coronavirus. This is a photo of Kolohe Andino on a barrel wave at Box in Australia. This photo shows Kolohe Andino doing a lap turn. An example of turning while rapidly reeling the board in. Hurley board shorts sponsored by Kolohe Andino. It's the USA Olympic spec. I hope it will be released. Kolohe Andino finning out on the lip You can see that the low posture makes the body flexible. There are very few surfers in the world who can fly this high on waves of this size. Kolohe Andino's signature move A photo of the underwater angle of a frontside no-grab air reverse. This photo shows Kolohe Andino paddling to a place where there are lots of fish swimming. I'm really looking forward to the Olympics and Kolohe Andino coming to Japan.

The bottom, tail design, and overall balance of the surfboard are excellent, so paddle and takeoff are quick, but the board moves on the waves very smoothly. This is the perfect model for small beach breaks! This video of professional golfer Masato Yukawa riding "SHONAN WARRIOR" is a must-see! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq8InaCoMt4 [ap_show_item 43221] The stock board is a rare copy of the popular model "ROCKET-REDUX" that has not yet arrived.

[ap_show_item 43231] This is a very good quality "HYDRA" gun that has only been used for a few rounds and is not available in Japan! The bottom has a double concave babel bottom shape, which allows the surfboard to float up and move smoothly from the moment you start paddling. The rails that drop off suddenly from the currently popular semi-flat deck allow for sharp turns. [ap_show_item 43365] This is a rare brand new polyester sample board of the 2020 version of the No. 1 model in PLACEBO history, chosen by MAYHEM and professional rider Nishii. The longer straight shaft in the center improves drive performance, and the tail has been changed from a squash tail to a swallow tail, improving control performance. [ap_show_item 43377] The combination of a flat center rocker, double concave bottom, and VEE creates speed even in small, powerless waves, allowing you to control the surfboard with ease. It also comes equipped with a dolphin grab rail that makes it easier to perform the physically exhausting dolphin run. [ap_show_item 43386] This is your chance to be one of the first to try out the latest 2020 models at sale prices. Recommended for users who prefer the ride feel of polyester! If you miss this chance, you'll only be able to get it by custom order! Most of the surfboards introduced this time are one-of-a-kind, so if you miss out, you won't be able to get them again!

Learn moreReasonably priced and with a great design! The popular "TLS" knit case is back in stock with new colors!
A surfboard case is essential when transporting your surfboard to prevent crashes and to prevent wax from getting on the sun, inside the car, or on other surfboards. Although it is less resistant to impacts than a hard case, the TLS knit case is popular because it is low-priced, takes up little space at home or in the car, and is easy to use. A new color has been released for the TLS knit case. It has a classic three-color border, but the color scheme is more likely to absorb heat, making it gentle on surfboards. It has excellent breathability and absorbency, so you can store it in the TLS knit case without worrying about leaving any residue behind. [ap_show_item 1642] The lightweight stretch material makes it easy to store your surfboard. It can be used without any problems even with the wide and thick shortboards of today. The nose, which is prone to breakage, is padded with 5mm PE and the knit material is thick and cushioned for peace of mind. [ap_show_item 1637] The "TLS" leather patch on the nose adds a stylish touch. The simple and classic design means you won't get bored of it and can use it for a long time. Both colors are available in ``SHORT'' 5'8"/6'0" and ``FUN'' 5'8" / 6'0" / 6'6". [ap_show_item 10378] [ap_show_item 10368] "DESTINATION" Deck Cover/Wax Guard From now on, the inside of a car will get very hot and wax will stick to your board case, so a deck cover is a useful product that prevents wax from getting on the board case. It prevents scratches that can occur when putting surfboards into the case, and since there are no snags, it can be easily taken in and out. Its excellent breathability and absorbency means you can store your items in the TLS knit case without worrying about leaving any water behind. We also have a variety of other surfboard cases, both soft and hard, so please take a look at the Love Surf web store!! ★All board cases can be found >>here!
