Today was the photo shoot day for the "LOST&Placebo" surfboard at Surfing Life.
Today at Surfing Life, It was the day of the surfboard shoot for "LOST & Placebo." Riding and Strobe and Taking a photo takes more time setting up than taking the photo. The board you are considering purchasing is What kind of surfboard is it? We took the photos so that you can understand each design by looking at the photos. The photos were taken by "Kenyou," one of the most popular photographers in the industry. Almost all models of both PLACEBO and LOST are available. I took it to Surfing Life's studio. This is the first time we've seen someone taking notes on the order of shooting on the 24'S blog! Ryo, a part-time staff member at our store, is 19 years old. Photos of the board taken by a professional photographer are definitely different. The homemade board stays made by photographer KENYU for this day were a great help. Photographer KENYU was one of the first to use "SURF GRASS". As expected!! I was able to take even more beautiful photos like this one. A professional photographer's lighting is uncompromising, You can also see the Babel Edge as shown here. Thank you Kenyu for filming until late into the night!!! * Posted by Luvsurf .

And Kei, who loves competitions, entered the double class and came in second in the under-16 class! A double class final is also amazing. Congratulations to Katsura, who won and was being carried after the heat!

Learn moreThe trusted PRO SHOP "Love Surf" can suggest "CL value".
I received a question asking, "How do you calculate the CL value?" I will explain it in this blog. Nishii and MAYHEM use the digital surfboard design software AKU, owned by LOST Surfboards, to cut blanks (forms) called "AKU." You can design everything from the board outline and concave, rails to the rocker curve of the board. Open the "master file" of each model created by MAYHEM. Enter the length, thickness and width. This AKU software function displays the CL value. The liters written is the cl value, and for some reason it also calculates how many bottles of beer it is. To access the "master files" of each model created by MAYHEM, Only a limited number of people involved with LOST are allowed to use it. The file data for each model is updated by LOST Mayhem, so There may be some slight discrepancies in the figures depending on the production schedule, but it is not a big difference. You may want a different model with the same CL value, or with 1 CL less, or 0.5 less, If you tell us your wishes, Nishii will use the AKU software to create a design that meets your needs. We can suggest board sizes to suit your desired model. If you are thinking about ordering a custom bike for your 2014 bike, feel free to contact us here. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact.html We look forward to hearing from you at Love Surf, the trusted professional shop!
