A simple board with only the MAYHEM and SUB-DRIVER marks
The waves were smaller today than they were yesterday, A southerly wind had been blowing into each surf point since the morning. I went to Oceanside Harbor to check the waves. The sea lions were roaring with pleasure as they sunbathed. There are no waves and it's not good, I was checking out the boards at the LOST surfboard storage facility. LOST surfboards remain popular. Apparently, all Rip Curl shops across the US have now started stocking it. The warehouse manager, Steve, showed me The newly completed XTR board It's a simple board with only the MAYHEM mark and SUB-DRIVER mark like this, It was a custom order board from Jordy Smith.

The waves look good today, so as soon as dawn breaks, Together with the Murasaki Sports group who arrived from Japan, I went surfing on T-Street in San Clemente. A mini contest for a school surfing class was taking place at the main break in front of us. Sho, a graduate, was a judge. After a quick surf, I heard that the waves at Riviera Beach Break in San Clemente were good, so I rushed over. Ian Carn, Griffin, Sho Kobayashi, Luke Davies, Evan and Eric Geiselman, Kolohe Andino was surfing so we filmed a video. On the beach, Dino, Mike, and Mayhem were watching. Photographer Noah Alani was there too and it was an amazing surfing show. Judge Nishii's best maneuver was a backside grab air reverse from Kolohe. The high score was Luke's backside with five consecutive rips. Here is the Murasaki Sports group watching the San Clemente style surf show. Then, this photo: I went on the LOST factory tour with everyone. Mayhem gave us a detailed and thorough explanation of the process by which Lost Surfboards are made.

Today in Orange County, it started with a light rain and continued raining throughout the morning. The weather improved in the afternoon, but a side-onshore wind was blowing from the north. The swell was even smaller than yesterday, so no surfing. When I went to the LOST surfboard storage warehouse, Jordy Smith's SUB-DRIVER was coming together. This guy, Mitchy, has been ordering a lot from us lately. In the evening, we started from San Clemente and headed north along the PCH, which runs along the coast. I went on inspection tours to Laguna, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach. We'll visit major surf shops and check out the latest CALIFORNIA surf trends. The river forms the border between Newport and Huntington. This is Santa Ana River Mouse. There are no waves today, but the bottom is a sandy river mouth, so when there are good waves, This is a river mouth break with compact tube waves. Looking at the Huntington Beach Northside Pier Even though the waves weren't great, there were a lot of people surfing. That's what you'd expect from Surf City, HB. Tomorrow's OC will be on Wednesday due to the time difference, and rain is forecast, which is unusual. Must see! Please click below. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/topics/xtr_sale.html

This is a report from inside the LOST surfboard factory. The view from the entrance to the LOST Surfboard Factory. It's not pretty. It's a factory town. But the dusty smell is cool. The green building across the street is Timmy Patterson's factory. This is the foam storage room. There are lots of white ARTIC FOAM like icebergs. Mayhem has a habit of looking at his shaped board over and over again. I was checking out the board I shaped yesterday again. This is a photo of the AKU machine from the front. This is the view from the other side, from the back. Pure white! The foam powder cut by the AKU machine is collected like this, It is then reshaped into a recycled form called GREEN foam and reshaped into a board. Today's Magic Board storage area at LOST Surfboard Factory. When the PRO team wants to get the board that was working well again, they put it on this rack. Mayhem will shape the same board for you. From the front Carissa Moore Julian Wilson Chris Ward Kolohe Andino 3 Mayhem was shaping a special custom order from a Japanese customer. A custom shape with a flat deck F1 model and EVW/small SWALLOW tail. Mayhem, who loves difficult tasks, gladly accepted the request. He said he was able to shape a well-balanced board that looked good. This looks so good I ordered one!

This is the wave report for "SOUTH CALIFORNIA" on September 1st. This is a beach break called Salt Creek. This is a spot with deep, powerful waves, similar to the good terrain of Niijima. The waves aren't very big, perhaps because we're avoiding the direction of the swells hitting CALIFORNIA. This photo was taken from Dana Point towards San Clemente. White waves are crashing against the long breakwater on the right side of the harbor. This is a point break on the south side of Dana Point Harbor, suitable for beginners and long distance surfers. The waves are usually knee-high, but they were more than twice the normal size. And this is T-STREET Point, the surfing dojo in San Clemente. The black ball flag (no swimming) was up and the waves were closed out. To give you an idea of how big the waves are, compare them to the San Clemente Pier in this photo. I think you can understand. The soup is so big that I was worried it would break. This is Lower Trestles. Of course, the waves are big here too. Wave information: Size is 8 to 10 feet. The south-southwest grand swell is likely to remain this size until Sunday. This was a wave report from "SOUTH CALIFORNIA" on September 1st.

There are actually a lot of LOST ladies that are hard to find in Japan. Of course, there is also the LOST surf skate, which is very popular in Japan. It's apparently popular locally and in short supply. Behind the Catalyst There is a glass shop that specializes in POLY and is exclusively for LOST surfboards.

Today's LOWERS. It's crowded again today. The size was bigger than yesterday so we surfed on the upper side. The waves were the best during our stay. I'm looking forward to it as the size is forecast to increase even more from tomorrow. The Upper estuary is closed due to the lack of rain recently. A giant pelican in the closed river mouth. We all walked for about 15 to 20 minutes from the Trastle parking lot to the beach. If you go to LOST surfboard factory, Board blanks (forms) are packed in everywhere. There were so many of them lined up here and there. Kolohe invited me to join Ian W and Evan G. I'm going on a Mentawai board trip with Indies 4.

Nishii is in CALIFORNIA. I had three boards in my car and the gear I needed to get down to Lower. Mountain bikes and other surf equipment with board racks. For cars coming to surf at Trestles There are bike racks installed almost everywhere like this. The board is a Magic 5'4" Motivetor from CA. It has the same airbrushed color as the new LOST surf skate model, the MOTIVETOR model. You can purchase it at this WEB★Store. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/item_detail/itemId,910/ It's normal in CA and overseas, It's not very popular in Japan, so I recommend it to everyone. Apply wax to the grip! This provides a stronger grip and prevents unnecessary slippage. When I went to Lower Traverse on Sunday afternoon, the waves were amazing. Shane B was out surfing with his son Noa. Starting tomorrow, we will be infiltrating Lost's surfboard factory and reporting on it!
