Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member.
I've been using
the FCSⅡ "MF-NEO CARBON/TRI" L size and
"LOST HIGH PERFORMANCE Leash comp" that I purchased last week, so I'd like to share my impressions along with information about the waves that day.
On this day, we went to Chitose Point, and when we arrived at the sea, the wind was blowing quite strongly, but perhaps because it was coming from the west, the conditions were not bad. (Two hours later, the wind direction changed and we were done.)
The waves were chest to shoulder high and there weren't many of them, but they were a little thicker so I was able to get some action in both the right and left and enjoy a long ride, which was a lot of fun!
This was my first time using the leash cord, so I was prepared for it to get tangled around my feet or to be stepped on when taking off, but there was no need to worry at all!
The nylon material used on the ankle fits very well and is comfortable to wear without any discomfort.
I was able to surf without any stress. It looks really cool when paired with a LOST surfboard.

How often do you replace your leash cord?
Leash cords are a lifeline in a sense, so we recommend replacing them once a year.
If the leash breaks while you're surfing, it will be a nuisance to you and those around you, and your surfboard may crash, costing you more to repair than the cost of the leash itself.
This was my first time using
the FCSⅡ "MF-NEO CARBON/TRI" L size, and my conclusion is that it's great!
Until now, I had been hesitant to use large fins because I thought their weight and size would slow down my movements, but my worries were not at all.
The reason I ended up buying it was because I was riding
the LOST "SHORT ROUND II" BLACK DART and tried out the M size of the quads and various tris I usually use, but they didn't feel right at all, so I consulted with Pro Nishii.
However, I was advised that the L size of "MF" would fit me, so I purchased it.
LOST's "SHORT ROUND II" BLACK DART is 30.9cl, but due to the characteristics of the material, it is very light and has a flexible flex.
The concept is a high-performance board with high buoyancy that can be ridden for short distances, but it moves around more than you'd expect given its 30.9cl, and to put it bluntly, it felt unstable. However, by switching to
the FCS II "MF-NEO CARBON/TRI" L size, it holds firmly and adds rebound from the sticky drive, making it much more balanced.

It all depends on the compatibility between the surfboard and fins, the wave conditions, and the rider's level and style, so I encourage everyone to give it a try.
We will also introduce fins that go well with each LOST and Presebo model, so be sure to come and ask us at Love Surf!
