Please take a look at the photo of the Babel Edge installed on the TABLET II, which has significantly improved mobility.
The second day of Interstyle was much busier than the previous day when it snowed, with many more visitors. Today we'll be taking a look at the Babel Edge feature on the TABLET II. It was first installed in the FISHQUEST II last year, and its excellent performance has led us to adopt it in the TABLET II as well. In this photo, the bottom side is on top. The bottom has a concave single concave curve and the tips of both rails are slightly tapered to create an angle. Here's a photo that takes us even closer to Babel Edge. You can see that the rails are not straight outwards, but angled. On the bottom side of the rail, about 8 cm wide, about 1 meter long, cut a thin strip. This beveled edge makes it easy to tilt the board. The TABLET II has dramatically improved athletic performance! We had people actually apply FU WAX to their boards to see how it compares to other waxes, despite the advertisements and rumors. Everyone was amazed and impressed by the 3D performance that allows for suction grip even in the upward direction. Don't worry, this is completely different from those things that stick to your wetsuit or hands when you apply it and make you never want to touch them again. An Interstyle organizer is interviewing "FU WAX." "FU WAX" was the talk of the town at the Interstyle venue. Sales will begin at a few reputable retailers across the country in the future, but in Japan it is currently only available at Love Surf. Today, I heard rumors that counterfeit products with relabeled labels are circulating in Japan, so please be careful. As we have been announcing every day, we plan to release all five new Placebo model pages on our website next Friday. In addition, advance order information with special benefits will be sent exclusively to newsletter members. If you absolutely want to know, we recommend subscribing to our newsletter.

Learn moreWe have summarized the greatness of "FU WAX" in an easy-to-understand manner, so we would like to share it with you.
For those who have not yet experienced the wonders of FU WAX, we have put together a simple and easy-to-understand summary. Everyone is raving about the new 3D grip! It's as if the upward grip on the surfboard is like a suction cup. This is a new surf wax with three-dimensional adsorption properties that have never been seen in waxes before. Kelly Slater also made a high-speed rotating air at an incredible height in a WCT contest. This is the surf wax I've been using ever since I got 10 points with one maneuver. Former World Champion Martin Potter, also known as "POZZ," also uses FU WAX. He even declared, "This is cheating!" and "It's like a foot strap." FU WAX is produced in Brazil using a top-secret recipe and is handmade by only one person, FU (Fuad Mansur) from Brazil! Previous waxes required a lot of force when applied, creating lots of high, ugly bumps to prevent sideways sliding, but FU Wax is different from previous waxes. Simply apply a thin layer and you get a new "3D wax" that provides a 3D grip that also adheres upwards. The days of slathering and applying with force are a thing of the past; there's no need to apply it thickly. Compared to previous products, "FU WAX" is effective even when applied extremely thinly. Apply it like this. FU WAX is designed to spread thinly rather than creating bumps, so apply it as shown in the photo. By applying a thin layer, you can use it more times than with one bottle before, making it more economical. WCT and WQS competitors from Brazil bring back a suitcase full of them, and strong competitors representing each country bring back It has spread all over the world and is rumored to be a wax with amazing 3D adhesive power that everyone will be amazed by. The rumors that seemed excessive and the amazing 3D grip power were When people actually try it, they are convinced, and word spreads all over the world. If you haven't tried it yet, you can purchase it here! Enjoy surfing with THE BEST SURF WAX, which will improve every round of surfing. Below is a quiz published in Australia's SURFING LIFE magazine. That's hilarious! The photo below is Paulo (second from the left) of FU WAX USA and FU's son Guy (second from the right). This is a photo of the two of them visiting US Hurley with FU WAX, as US Hurley wanted it. The person in the middle is Hurley's president, Bob Hurley, and the person on the far right is Matthew Baker. On the far left is the first ASP World Champion, Peter Townend. As such, FU WAX has spread not only in Brazil, but also in Australia and the USA, and legends are praising it highly.

Luvsurf TV:LOST 5'2" "COUCH POTATO" POLYESTER Specifications: Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: LOST 5'2" "COUCH POTATO" POLYESTER FILM: Hayato Masuda EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a new model that we recommend to those looking for a dynamic board for small waves that can be ridden as short as possible. The tail is short so you can kick it off at the top. The riding experience is described as fluttering, spinning, and smooth. This board is not only mobile, but also thick in the center, designed to allow you to weight the front when paddling, and although it is short, it takes off quickly. You can see this performance in the scene where it slides out of the swell and takes off. The COUCH POTATO model is very loose, smooth and easy to pick up speed even on thick beach breaks. The board turns without digging into the rails and stalling. Once you get used to it, you'll be able to make sharp turns and thick waves and small waves will no longer be a challenge. This board is 5'2". The Nishii PRO regular board is 5'9", so I ride it 7 inches shorter. Please use this as a reference when choosing a board size that suits your ideal weight. Now, please take a look at the riding video of the "COUCH POTATO" model. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/59394994[/vimeo]

Learn more"NECK TANS" is secretly becoming a hit! A new wind is blowing from San Clemente!
The other day, I saw a surfer wearing a newly completed "NECK TANS" sticker in California. Apparently it's already popping up in San Clemente. Love Surf pro rider Masato Yukawa arrived in California on February 4th and began his surfing training. He immediately joined the "NECK TANS" team and put a sticker on the board. This sticker is for LOST/Placebo users who have experienced and appreciated the quality of the MAYHEM board. This is a sticker from a brand that we hope you will put up and that we look forward to seeing more of in the future. So, in San Clemente, the number of TEAM members in the underground was increasing. We have received a photo of the board with the sticker from NECK TANS, so please take a look. "NECK TANS" is secretly becoming a hit! A new wind is blowing from San Clemente! We will be stocking a small quantity of these stickers first, so please look forward to it.

Learn moreThank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many new boards!
Mr. A, LOST "DRIVER-JP" chose the POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch specification. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/sub-driver-jp This is the finished board that was custom ordered for us. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/board/cl.html Since they are very familiar with CL values, they always specify the length and model, and we calculate the CL value in the store using the LOST surfboard file data and make a suggestion. Mr. B, The customer chose the Placebo "FISHQUEST 2" model FLEXLITE-TURBO specification. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/placebo/fishquest2-p He bought an Al Merrick POD model and tried it, but it felt heavy. So, I wanted to try a model that was designed and developed to suit the wave conditions in Japan. It also has good buoyancy, so it seems like it would be good for quick take-off and paddling! So, he purchased this model. Mr. C said, The customer chose the LOST V2-ROCKET with Polyester Carbon Tail Patch. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/v2-rocket He is currently using the SUB-DRIVER-JP model, but he asked for a board that was about the same length but shorter, and this is the board that he custom ordered the other day. Mr. D, The customer chose the LOST V2-ROCKET C3 (CORK-CARBON-COMPOSITE) specification. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=17110 He has a soft spot for boards made from new materials, and in the past he has ridden AVISO, FST, COIL, and other boards. He said he is a big fan of LOST and enjoys riding the latest technology boards that are released every year. Mr. E, The customer chose the LOST ``SUB-SCORCHER 2'' with POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=17615 This board was selected from our newly arrived stock. In fact, Love Surf has Kolohe Andino's new 2013 model, the SUB-SCORCHER 2, on display in their store! We only have a few units of the SUB-SCORCHER 2 in stock, The "BEACH BUGGY" model that we introduced on our blog the other day is also available in stores, so If you want to be the first to check out the latest models, please feel free to come and see them for yourself. Love Surf is open all year round and we look forward to your visit.
Learn moreThe SUB-SCORCHER 2 is a speed board with excellent take-off performance that can run through flat sections.
SUB-SCORCHER 2 *A speed board with excellent take-off performance that can run through flat sections. Introducing the latest model in Kolohe Andino's signature "SCORCHER" series. While narrower than previous models, it still features a rounded, pointed nose outline compared to other models. The nose and tail provide buoyancy, making it a high-performance board for small to medium waves, targeting knee-to-head height, and can be ridden about two inches shorter than your regular board. The standard tail shape is a combination of double bump wing and super swallow tail. The bottom rocker curve is gentler than other high performance models, with a dropped rocker design. It has excellent speed maintenance on flat sections of waves, so you can gain speed just by moving the board up and down in small increments. This fascinating model was developed through repeated test rides and feedback from Julian Wilson and Kolohe Andino. While the board design is highly refined and it's a high-performance model, it also boasts excellent takeoff, allowing it to rise before the first turn even in thick waves, making it easy to achieve speed for air and lip action even in small waves. Kolohe Andino has demonstrated in his public riding video that it can ride waves with almost no paddling. Designed for small to medium waves, this high-performance model inherits the legacy of its predecessor, it's perfect for surfers who want to gain speed and achieve crisp, fast movements.
