New Nishii's Luvsurf TV is here! Part 1 [Contest footage from a realistic beach break you won't find anywhere else] From Huntington Beach!
Part 1 [Contest footage from a realistic beach break you can only see here] From Huntington Beach! Please take a look at the video of the recent Jax Pro QS3000 contest, which Nishii filmed and reported on in Huntington Beach, California in April 2024. The report has been edited to appeal to everyone, focusing on Lost Surfboards team riders. Please take a look to see how top-level surfers surfed on cutting-edge surfboards at a beach break that is realistic for us Japanese. Watch Lost's Black Sheep build ride clearly differently than other surfboards on a weak beach break. Stay tuned for the next part! https://youtu.be/WoKF2TCv8QU https://youtu.be/WoKF2TCv8QU
Learn moreHurry! FU WAX, a favorite among CT surfers, is almost out of stock...
We are pleased to announce that we are running low on stock of FU WAX, a surf wax with grip performance that is far superior to other waxes and loved by so many surfers that it would be impossible to list them all. Once you use it, you'll understand the unique 3D grip of "FU WAX". The number of addicts continues to increase year by year, and it's becoming more and more popular... As you know, FU Wax is carefully handcrafted one by one by FU in Brazil using a top-secret recipe, and production is limited, so it is always in short supply... https://www.instagram.com/p/C53S1a0Lf_B/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== FU WAX grips the feet of everyone from CT surfers to world-class surfers competing in CS and QS, as well as everyday surfers like us, and supports the best riding. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5e5qqpvYqM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== If you're checking out this blog, you know how to apply FU WAX, right? Other waxes with weak grip require a lot of time and effort, and you have to apply a lot to create a firm, even surface, but with FU WAX, you can apply it evenly and flatly without creating any sharp edges. It's actually quite economical because you can spread it thinly all over and it gives you a grip that's incomparable to other waxes! [ap_show_item 11799] [ap_show_item 11400] [ap_show_item 117251] [ap_show_item 8194] "FU WAX" is becoming quite scarce. Be sure to secure your supply for this season at any authorized dealer, including Love Surf!

Learn moreThe hot new signature fins! Filipe Toledo & Mick Fanning PG PRO now in stock!
The most popular template, designed by the world's best surfers and shapers, will be released in 2024 as a performance glass! Performance Glass Fins are CNC machined, and by cutting the layered glass fiber sheets and hardened resin to the exacting precision, they have a high-precision foil that gives the rider an unprecedented feeling. The Performance Glass Fin also has a stiff flex pattern in the upper half and extremely fast shape recovery, which translates directly into speed. This allows the surfer's power to be instantly transferred to the surfboard, resulting in excellent speed and acceleration from take-off and stable control during critical turns. It has extremely high rigidity and responds quickly, further increasing acceleration during powerful turns. Because the fins maintain their flex even when extreme forces are applied to them in extreme conditions, many professional surfers who like this feeling have already started using them, and have given us feedback saying, "The surfboard and fins are in perfect harmony, it's like using a pair of fins!" [ap_show_item 349691] Performance glasses "Filipe Toledo" model. A template designed for fast, aggressive surfing. It has excellent drive and control at the bottom, and allows you to release the fin at the lip without losing any spin towards the top! [ap_show_item 349652] Performance glasses "Mick Fanning" model. This template features the largest possible sweep angle and a uniquely engineered tip, making it ideal for surfers who prefer big turns with both power and flow. This fin offers excellent drive and control, allowing for quick response even at high speeds! For other FCS II fins, click here!

Learn moreOnly 10 pairs left! The popular LOST mid-length series "SMOOTH OPERATOR" in BLACK SHEEP BUILT bottom color is now available for the first time!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Don't miss this blog either! Highly praised by professional golfer Nishii! LOST "SMOOTH OPERATOR" BLACK SHEEP BUILT bottom color MADE IN CALIFORNIA is now in stock for the first time! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3ReFIVLGtO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== It is available in a variety of materials, but most of them sell out in seconds and are difficult to obtain. The LOST mid-length series "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is a rare performance mid-length board that is popular with shortboarders who are hesitant to ride long surfboards, and longboarders who want to move their surfboard more. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5lIOwJr8oP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is designed to be ridden longer, but because it is not as wide or thick as its length suggests, when you catch a wave you don't feel the length of the surfboard, which is a good thing, and it is very easy to handle, which is why it has become such a popular model! https://www.instagram.com/p/C5fb9h8O3sw/ Among the LOST Surfboards model lineup, this is a relatively large surfboard, so it tends to be heavy, but the ultra-lightweight {Black Sheep Built} "SMOOTH OPERATOR" takes advantage of this even more, allowing you to paddle quickly and the surfboard to move lightly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYMFy1Ylfk4 In the above YouTube video, pro surfer Arashi Murata is riding the SMOOTH OPERATOR BLACK SHEEP BUILT. The wave was breaking loosely and the shoulder didn't really come out, but he kept riding without losing speed and made some great action-packed moves in the hollowed-out sections on the inside! The characteristics of the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" BLACK SHEEP BUILT were truly on display! "BLACK SHEEP BUILT" is LOST's original EPS technology, made using stringerless 1.5lb EPS foam, Triax carbon and epoxy resin. The ultra-lightweight EPS blank is glass laminated with epoxy resin for both durability and performance, delivering flex rebound speed and quick response! As you know, MAYHEM is also a fan of the SMOOTH OPERATOR, which he always takes with him on his everyday trips and overseas trips.MAYHEM himself has been photographed using the model at various surf spots. The sizes available this time are: 6'2"x 20.0"x2.56" 34cl(188 x 50.8 x 6.5cm) Ideal weight: 50-70kg 6'4”×20.25”×2.65” 36.75cl (193×51.4×6.73cm) Ideal weight: 60-80kg 6'6”×20.50”×2.65” 38.5cl (198×52.1×6.73cm) Ideal weight: 65-85kg excluding tax ¥282,000 including tax ¥310,200 6'8”×20.75”×2.70” 40.75cl (203×52.71×6.85cm) Ideal weight: 70-90kg excluding tax ¥287,000 including tax ¥315,700 To purchase LOST's "SMOOTH OPERATOR" BLACK SHEEP BUILT, click here! [ap_show_item 84968] As Pro Nishii mentioned in the video, the recommended fin to attach to the SMOTTH OPERATOR is the FCSⅡ MB PG SPLIT KEEL/QUAD! The performance of your surfboard will obviously change depending on the fins you use! Depending on the wave conditions and your preferences, we definitely recommend trying the quad setting of the SMOOTH OPERATOR first! [ap_show_item 193636] [ap_show_item 104076] [ap_show_item 74356] The SMOOTH OPERATOR is a performance mid-length rod. Instead of the usual 6-foot leashes that shortboarders use, The SMOOTH OPERATOR is over 6'2" and has a long board, So that the board will move away from your body when you wipe out. To prevent the board from bouncing back and coming into contact with you, We recommend using a 7-foot leash cord. It's too late once you've been injured, Please use a leash cord that is 7 feet long. *If you purchase from the Love Surf web store and would like to pick up your surfboard in-store, please write "Pick up in store" in the {order notes} field. *If you pay by credit card or Amazon Pay, we will refund the shipping fee later, so please feel free to shop. *If you wish to pay by bank transfer or in-store, please make the transfer or payment within 5 business days after placing your order. *This item is likely to sell out quickly, so please add any other items you wish to purchase, such as traction pads, leashes, fins, and cases, to your cart before 8 PM! Combined shipping is available.
