Today we have Shaper of the Year "MAYHEM"! Today, I went to the LOST surfboard factory. (real name) Matt Biolos, aka "Mayhem," was shaping it. Looking at the order form, the shape room has There were a lot of Kolohe and Luke Davis boards. Luke Davis, who I introduced in yesterday's blog, Because that board was magic, Apparently he asked Mayhem for it. To meet this demand, Mayhem offers blanks from various angles. Look at it as if licking it, shape it, look at it again, shape it, I shaped it very carefully. The team rides them and brings their magic to the market, and there's no way a LOST board won't perform well because of Mayhem's uncompromising shape philosophy!

Learn moreMany surf spots in the Ichinomiya area of Chiba are at risk of disappearing!
Please sign a petition calling for the halt of the Ichinomiya embankment construction work. It is one of the best waves in Japan, and attracts many surfers. Many surf spots in the northern Chiba area may disappear. The Ichinomiya point where you all surf has been in the spot for the past few years. You may have noticed that the beach disappears at high tide. Watching the waves crash against the concrete stairs, I think there are a lot of people who feel that this is unnatural. This is because a T-shaped headland was created at the end of the embankment. Even if you make a T-shaped headland with ugly tetrapods, the sand will just be split into two, The government doesn't seem to understand that the sandy beach will disappear. There are 10 embankments from the Ichinomiya River mouth to Taito, and there are plans to create a T-shaped headland at the end of the embankment, 100m on each side, totaling 200m, just like Ichinomiya Point. Last weekend, foundation work for the Sunrise (No. 6) embankment was underway. The project was carried out without any formal explanation to the residents, such as its scale. Until an information session for residents is held, We would like as many people as possible to sign a petition requesting the temporary suspension of the FY2009 construction of Headland (artificial cape) No. 6, a coastal erosion prevention project in Ichinomiya Town, Chosei District, Chiba Prefecture. We ask for your cooperation. Although electronic signatures are available on the website , it seems that handwritten signatures are preferable. At Love Surf, we ask that you sign your name in person. If you would like to cooperate, please come to Love Surf. Please sign. The deadline is the 20th, and signatures must be received by the 23rd. Mr. Seiji Maehara, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Mr. Kensaku Morita, Governor of Chiba Prefecture, Mr. Magoichiro Tamagawa, Mayor of Ichinomiya Town, Chosei District, Chiba Prefecture; In response to this, the "Ichinomiya Coastal Environment Consideration Group" compiled a report, The opinion will be submitted in writing. I spoke with the association today, and basically both the government and the residents want to prevent beach erosion. We share the same idea, but we would like to collect signatures, temporarily suspend construction, and then California Pier, The sand that is being poured into the Australian valley, I'm going to suggest a more effective way to do this. To do this, we need as many signatures as possible. If you are busy and cannot come to the store, http://www.ikaigan.com/ Please visit the website of the "Ichinomiya Coastal Environment Association" Electronic signatures are also accepted, so please cooperate.

Learn moreGet the latest information on "LOST Surfskate"!
Get the latest information on "LOST Surfskate"! He was crowned Shaper of the Year. By LOST surfboard shaper "Matt Biolos", Get the latest information on LOST Surfskates, which are designed, produced, and manufactured! In the spring of 2010, LOST will release the Lost Surfskate (skateboard). Each model and concept of this board is unique, designed and "shaped" by Matt based on various models of Mayhem surfboards from LOST. The outline and rocker are based on popular models such as the ROCKET and RNF, designed by Matt's shaping program, and the new Scorcher. The deck's characteristics are designed for surf-style carving and thrashing. Rocker camber, concave and kick tail Mayhem tested and custom designed. All decks feature kingpin carving tracks, It also comes with original LOST wheels designed by Mayhem. The board graphics are the same as the actual Lost surfboards. Comes with die-cut grip tape and a surprise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since its release in the US, this surf skate has received a tremendous response. Here's an explanation from Mayhem: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Real Surf Company LOST Please see below for a summary of the new surfskate business model. Paul "Professor" Schmidt is the manufacturer of Lost Surf Skates. Paul, as you probably know, is one of the most influential and experienced skateboard designers and manufacturers in existence. He founded Schmidt Steck, which designed the first double kick skateboard in the 80's. In the 90s, Paul was the principal founder of brands such as New Deal and ELEMENT. He currently owns two production facilities and also has a prototype shop, where I (Mayhem) previously studied design. Lost Surfskate decks are produced in Paul's factory. The material is similar to what most Element (and other brands) use. The trucks we use are carving trucks with a 45 degree kingpin angle. High performance and famously known as the first "carving" truck. We will be using the "Randall" carving track. The wheels are also made in the same factory where all longboard companies stamp out their Race Formula and Durameter wheels. I (Mayhem) am personally responsible for all deck outline, rocker and concave design (based on my surfboard shaping program). We are not a long boat, but we are trying to create a new category called "Surfskate". We create each deck in our own unique mold. First, we designed the two wheels. Black Ship. This is a crossover carving park wheel. The other is the Scorcher, a large, soft racing wheel that's especially good for street riding. Regarding track selection. I have ridden all of the following trucks with a variety of wheels and decks: Randall Paris, Camino, Carver, Revenge, Thrasher and all Gullwing/Sector 9 versions. We decided to use the Randall brand. Because some have the same performance and quality as others but are cheaper. After doing some research, I (Mayhem) found that surfing is inspired by skateboarding. However, today's surf skate brands are nothing more than skateboard companies that say, "Let's try surfing." Unlike typical skateboards, LOST has succeeded in developing a skateboard that surfers need for surfing. Lost is not a longboard company. We are not a skateboard company. Don't forget we are a real, core, authentic surf company! "Matt Biolos" Samples will arrive at Love Surf in early February 2010. It is scheduled to be released at the end of April. Once the model and price have been decided, reservations will begin. The price is expected to be around 30,000 yen, so please look forward to it!
