Masato's first ride on the 5'8" TABLET II! This wave has a fast takeoff, lip, and air, so it's perfect for competitions!
This morning we were shooting in foggy Huntington Beach, the town where Chucky lives. Chucky is using a 5'8" TABLET II as the waves are thick and heavy this morning during high tide. Masato chose the SUB-SCRCHER2. Nishii is a 5'7" V3-ROCKET. Chucky chose the board that best suited the wave conditions and had a string of great rides! I came up feeling tired. The tide was going out and the side onshore winds were getting stronger during the afternoon round. Chucky chose BEACH BUGGY. He was doing a great job ripping the small waves breaking along the inside pier. Nishii is a 5'8" TITAN. Masato saw Chucky's incredible surfing on the 5'8" TABLET II in the morning and wanted to try it out. When I saw Chucky stretching from the pier, It looks like this. Nishii and Masato are about to enter the sea. From above, you can clearly see how clear the water is. Masato, on his first ride of the 5'8" TABLET II, commented that this wave has a fast takeoff, can do lip and air, and can be used in competitions. I was amazed. He was taking off at high speed, kicking off long waves. The TABLET II model is aimed at senior surfers aged 35 and over. Even a 21-year-old pro says it's in great condition, making it the No. 1 standard shortboard of the future. All three of us spent the whole day today switching boards and filming videos. Stay tuned for the video release where you can see how the board performs in bad waves!!

Today, I checked out various spots, but I ended up surfing UPPERS. Last night, Hiroki and Chucky arrived in San Clemente and we met up to go on a photo shoot. It was cloudy and cold for California, but the light rain stopped quickly. Hiroki chose the new model, Precevo "TITAN" 5'10" and applied FU WAX. Masato is still using the Lost SUB-SCORCHER2 model. Masato injured his elbow when it hit the fin when the Air Riva landed in the water. Chucky quickly performed a series of backside lips on the Presebo 5'10" TABLET2! Nishii is a Precevo 5'7" "V3-RCOKET", The size and CL value are just right, and the paddling and surfing are great! When you go to the LOST surfboard factory... In the silkscreen room, new color stickers for LOST were being produced! The "SUB-DRIVER-JP" model is so popular that there aren't enough marks left. The laminated mark was reprinted. There are also many ARTIC forms lined up inside the factory. HYDRO FLEX has released Nishii's test model "F1-STUB" The new carbon rail board was delivered. This will be a Japan-exclusive model with new rail material, developed for the Japanese market. As I was looking at the new test board outside, a man named Jay Adams approached me. He joked, "It's light and nice, why don't you give it to me?" I went to see how far LUCKY BUSTERDS' glass had progressed. First, I made two pieces using the trash technique, and they were almost complete. This is 5'3". Blue Green is 5'4". The mismatched duo LUCKY BUSTERDS. But I think his glass skills are the best in the world. They will take responsibility for finishing the job, even sanding it. The glasses have such unexpected color combinations. Team Luvsurf will be filming again tomorrow!

It was recently made available for purchase on the web store. SC's featured brand, "NECK TANS" !!! I met up with the "NECK TANS" team and went to LOWERS. It's Saturday and the weather is good, Apparently the waves have been good for three days in a row, so the usually crowded LOWERS has become even more crowded! After surfing, I went to Lost Surfboards, which I introduced on my blog yesterday. I heard that there were several boards glassed by "Lucky Bastards," so I went to see them and would like to introduce them to you. It's a dark art piece. The front and back and left and right are different colors, giving it a stylish look. The pattern is expressed using a combination of the same color and glitter. The surface of the glass has a glossy polished finish. The colour is well done. They are truly amazing craftsmen, able to create designs like this using resin colors! We are looking forward to the completion of the 10 limited edition boards that will be imported to Japan! This mark will appear on boards glassed by "Lucky Bastards"!
Learn moreNishii has arrived in LA! LUCKY BASTARDS is a two-person glass craftsman team.
From LAX airport, through Friday evening freeway traffic Visit the MAYHEM glass shop directly, The purpose is to glass LOST surfboards from Europe for a limited time and in limited numbers. This is to order a board from LUCKY BASTARDS. LUCKY BASTARDS is a two-person glass artisan team. They have a great sense of color and specialize in premium glass. This is a technique called trashing. By making good use of the cross weave, we have created a luxurious texture like this. The boards that LUCKY BASTARDS finish are not only fun to ride, but also fun to look at. It contains fine glitter! This use of color is very European. If you look closely, you can see that this board has blue glitter in it. Unlike airbrushing, it creates a deep, rich color. I asked MAYHEM to make some shapes for Love Surf, and they were completed, I came to meet with them and ask them what design colors they wanted. This is an ultra-premium board with only 10 being imported to Japan in 2013. Masato came to pick me up at the airport today, and Mayhem is heading to Australia tomorrow. Both of them are wearing NECK TANS.

Learn moreWe will explain three points that explain how the TABLET II has evolved significantly from the previous TABLET.
The best-selling Placebo model, TABLET II, has evolved significantly. The dimensions (length, width, thickness) of all six sizes are the same as the previous model. The outline and rocker are the same design, I will explain three points that show the great evolution. The "three" are as follows: 1. Grab rail 2. Babel Edge 3. New elevator wing 1. Grab rail The only weak point of the Tablet was the ability to dolphin through, but now it's much easier and more convenient. The two grab rails on both rails, located from the nose to the bottom of the deck, make it easier for people with small hands or weak grip strength to grip the rails, make it easier to sink the board, and prevent both hands from slipping, making dolphin throughs much easier. Installed on the FISHQUEST II and RNF-EVOLUTION models last year, the functionality of these rails makes a big difference with or without them, and they're a guaranteed winner. 2. Babel Edge This is the line that is carved out along the rail about 8 cm inside the center of the bottom surface. The rails in the center of the board are thick, so it feels like you're riding on a board with thin rails. The design also makes it easier to tilt the rails, making board control lighter and easier. This Babeld Edge design was also implemented in the FISHQUEST II model last year, and was praised for its "light and easy board movement!" This design is the result of an excellent Mayhem idea. Left: TABLET II Right: TABLET 3. New elevator wing The step is much deeper and longer than the previous model, making the elevator wing even more effective. With the back stance on the tail, it's easy to control the tail by accelerating with your toes and heels, making it easier to initiate a turn. Even when kicking into a top turn, the step angle makes it easy to pivot on the tail for quick turns. In a word, it's easier to ride. To put it a little longer, "It's easier to dolphin through and control the board." It will be. If you're a user of the previous TABLET model, you'll clearly feel the difference - it's a major evolution. Please take a look at the video I took with my iPhone when we were shooting in the studio the other day. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/60447602[/vimeo] Placebo "TABLET II" FLEXLITE-TURBO is This is a Japan-exclusive model that was researched, designed and developed by Matt Biolos, known as the world-famous MAYHEM, to suit the wave conditions in Japan so that senior surfers over 35 can surf comfortably! ・The No. 1 recommended model for weekend surfers over 35, those switching from longboarding, and those returning to surfing! - The super buoyancy makes paddling easier and take-off faster, providing safe and secure functionality. To fully enjoy this board's capabilities, we recommend overfloat. This is because it is designed so that it does not become sluggish even when overfloated. *The new elevator wing and beveled edge provide high buoyancy but make tail control easy. The previous concept of appropriate buoyancy no longer applies. While there are many imitations on the market that merely copy the aesthetic design, Mayhem's masterpiece can't match the time-consuming and painstakingly researched, high-performance design. The Placebo TABLET II FLEXLITE-TURBO is a magic board available exclusively in Japan, with three major improvements making it even easier to ride, offering fast paddle and takeoff, yet agile movement. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/placebo/tablet-ii
