Couch potato! 20 years of surfing experience, 170cm tall, 75kg, home in Shonan.
We have received some impressions from customers who have purchased the super popular model "COUCH POTATO," so we would like to share them with you! Nice to meet you. I've been surfing for 20 years, I'm 170cm tall and weigh 75kg, and I live in Shonan. I rode Lost Surfboards from 1996 when Love Surf opened until about 1998. He used to ride a Dino Andino model, made by the father of the popular Kolohe Andino. When we first started surfing, surfboards with extremely steep nose rocker were the norm, but when the DINO model came out with a low rocker, I remember being quite shocked. Looking back, I think the Mayhem was amazing, as it reduced the nose rocker from the days when the nose rocker was sharp to a more low rocker. Recently, there happened to be a test ride event nearby, so I took the opportunity... The waves were chest-high and damper-like. That's where I discovered the Couch Potato. I was in great shape, and by chance I saw on Love Surf's website that they were taking reservations, so I pre-ordered the 5/7. I was told that the 5/6 would actually be fine, but I chose that size with full suit season in mind. It was my Tanabata debut, and the waves were waist to belly high, onshore, with a lot of tide, and a plodding feel with no power, so it was the kind of condition most people would dislike, as an hour on a normal shortboard would be enough (lol). I tried out one board, and fell off on the first try... The takeoff was so fast that I was moving faster than the board I had ridden at the test ride, and my body couldn't keep up... It was worse than I expected. Gradually, my body got used to it and I began to get a grasp on its characteristics. This was the first time I'd ever experienced a board of this type that moved so well. I used the Mayhem fins that came with the board when I bought it in the quad setting. When taking off, the tail feels like it's floating up. That common feeling of the board flopping on thick sections... that's no longer necessary. Just swing it left and right like skating and it will go down. The lip also rises vertically. It's easy to accelerate, so your tricks will have more punch. A professional diver I know was in the boat. The overriding alarm went off and he pulled my leash when I took off (lol). This is definitely a must-have, so I highly recommend it! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This impression really captures the characteristics of the CP model!

COUCH POTATO stock boards have just arrived in POLY and CORK finishes! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/couch-potato-lost/couch-potato#stockbox All of the boards listed are ready to ride, so please consider purchasing one soon before they sell out.

The AUROLA fins, which were popular and in high demand due to being produced in small quantities, have now arrived! Best-selling models are back in stock before the summer season begins! The 5-fin set "FLEX-FIVE" was originally designed to match the color of Placebo's FLEXLITE. It's not too big or too small for LOST surfboard users, and has a well-balanced size and performance. It's very popular. It comes in two other colors so you can choose the one that suits your taste. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/5126/ This is also a 5-fin set, but it is a little larger and allows you to enjoy sticky driving turns. This is the "CARBON5". As shown in the photo, you can attach the QUAD back fin to the center and make it loose. Of course, you can also set it up with three TRI fins of the same size to maximize drive. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/5143/ This is also an explosively popular "REY" fin. It can be attached to the center of the original 5-fin. Mini Center Fin SMALLISH A slightly larger size to make the effect of the fin clearer. This is the newly released mini center fin. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/5142/ Nishii's favorite is "TRIPLE RAZER" ! It is about the size of a G5, and the internal core is luxuriously made up of three different hardness levels. It has a firm base and a flexible tip, and provides excellent rebound during top turns, making it very fast. In a nutshell, it's a fin that accelerates quickly. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/5127/ This "WARd3" is a popular new TRI fin set released in 2013. The center fin is about 10% smaller than the front fin, so it's loose! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/13201/ Love Surf's best-selling fin is the WARd5! It's only natural that it has good performance because it was designed, developed and tested by Word. The design and color match perfectly with any LOST or Placebo board, making it look great. We also have a variety of other AUROLA fins available for fin enthusiasts. We encourage you to try changing your fins to improve the performance of your board and enjoy surfing. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/category/item/itemgenre/aurola/fin/ All AUROLA fin models can be viewed and purchased here.

Today, we would like to announce the name of the LOST New Japan limited edition model, which has been announced for release. Mayhem's LOST ROCKET model is known as the spark that started the 5-fin mini board boom around the world. It is a famous masterpiece, and there are currently three models based on the "ROCKET" that have been developed and evolved in design. 1 is, Based on the "ROCKET", it has been lengthened and improved for high performance. It achieved explosive sales in Japan and is still said to be one of the best-selling models. There was a model called "STALTH." 2 is, Last year in 2012, it inherited the concept design of the "ROCKET" model. The LOST "V2-ROCKET" model was released and is still very popular today. 3 is, In 2013, Mayhem revised the shape design for Japan based on the V2-ROCKET. The Placebo V3-ROCKET is a model that has improved performance for Japanese wave conditions. Mayhem provided Ward and Mason with the V3-ROCKET model POLY boards, which received rave reviews. Mayhem himself has said that this is the best game in the ROCKET series. Even in Japan, we've seen some people order custom POLY bikes because they think the Placebo V3-ROCKET is working well. The Placebo V3-ROCKET is a model that has received very good feedback from customers who have actually ridden it. The ROCKET design is inherited, with the maximum width being forward of the center, so you can position your body forward when paddling. The takeoff is very fast even among point nose boards, and after standing up, The tail is small, thin and tapered with a double wing, making it easy to step on the tail, easy to control and allows for sharp movements at the top. The board's excellent shape balance design allows for quick takeoff and sharp movements. The LOST version, a shaped board based on the ROCKET series' masterpiece, the V3-ROCKET model, has been announced for release. The model name is "STALTH II." Here is the mark based on the latest stealth fighter jet. This mark will be placed on the board. This is a new, evolved model of the classic "STALTH"! The "STALTH II" model is based on the "V3-ROCKET" model, which was originally designed by Mayhem to suit the wave conditions in Japan, so it will be released as a model exclusive to Japan. Look forward to it!!! This is a video from a while ago, but it's the ``STALTH'' board. Please take a look. [youtube]http://youtu.be/iR4xDVykZc8[/youtube]
