Testing fins, boards and wetsuits in between business meetings.

P1010529 This is a prototype of the new "ANCHOR" wetsuit model. We are testing a highly stretchable fabric that can be worn around the neck. P1010539 We tested the waterproofness of this new, stress-free product, which has no overlapping parts at all. P1010551 Since the size is sufficient, I added the "Aurola Smallish" center fin to the "Short Round" and This is a test ride to see how much better the drive is. Adding these fins really helps prevent wobbling, which is great. P1010562 Nishii's best size, "SHORT ROUND," is 5'2". P1010609 I had a meeting with Derek from SURFGRASS, a major surf media outlet in California. It has become a well-known and popular product after being introduced, and it is expected to become even more famous as it is increasingly featured in outdoor media. P1010624 I also went to Hydroflex in Oceanside for a business meeting. The number of custom orders from Japanese customers is increasing, which makes our CEO, Richie, very happy. P1010647 Photography is prohibited inside the factory, so unfortunately I can't show it to you all. It was packed with new technologies and new materials. P1010681 We also visited the XTR factory, which is located in Oceanside, the same place as Hydroflex. Please check the production status of the boards and have them finish the boards that have reservations first. I was able to specify the priority of the production board. P1010679 Checking the fin angle of the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO XTR-FX board. P1010689 Returning to San Clemente, we went to Catalyst, a glass factory specializing in LOST surfboards. P1010694 I went to meet the Lucky Busters from France. P1010712 After that, to test Hydroflex's new foam and glass boards, P1010716 It's light until 8:30pm so we're doing a test surf at Riviera. This new material has a hard, durable surface and is 100% waterproof, making it a great choice for everyone in Japan. I came up with the idea of ​​changing the direction of the cross stitches to make it more flexible, I immediately asked Hydroflex to produce an updated version. *
