We had a meeting at MAYHEM and LOST Surfboards.

Today, OC has been covered in thick clouds since the morning.
The wind is strong and the waves are bad, so no surfing.
When I went to the LOST surfboard factory to check the finish of the board,
There were a lot of short boards like this.
This is for a trade show in Florida in January 2013.
This is Teri Shin's specialty, hand painting.
I found a custom-ordered board from Japan, ATUSHI's, that was already shaped.
This is the "DSD" blank cutting machine specifically for center stringers.
This is a monitor of the blank cutting machine "AKU," which can also cut stringerless blanks.
MAYHEM and MTG are located at LOST Surfboards in another location.
Check out the 2013 orders and the benefits of the new material C3 (cork board),
We have made final confirmations on Placebo's new model.
I also ordered a colorful stock board.
These are the Christmas decorations in Dana Point.
The whole town is in full Christmas spirit here.

After the last session, we will now fly to Japan.

I went to Bubbles Point again this morning. I woke up before dawn, had coffee and donuts loaded onto the boat, and headed out on a 30-minute boat ride. We arrived at the break at dawn and jumped into the empty sea. The session lasted about two hours. Although the size is smaller than yesterday, the quality is still the same. The rider is Mayhem. After the last session, we packed up our boards and luggage and flew on a chartered plane from Tero Island to Padang, then from Padang to Jakarta, and from Jakarta to Haneda. I'll be working at Luvsurf next week, so please come and meet me. https://youtu.be/GkyLh4lGddo

Private session at the high quality reef break "Bubbles"!

Tomorrow is the day I return to Japan, so today was my last day to surf all day. The waves were still big enough so I left early in the morning and went to a new right break reef called Bubbles. This is a reef break for experts, with waves hitting the slab and suddenly creating swells that double up and take off. The waves came suddenly, similar to the feeling of a wave pool, and it was a powerful break that quickly picked up speed even after a risky takeoff. We had a private session on some amazing waves, and the waves were so good that we went back there again in the afternoon to take some photos. I rode LOST's "RNF'96" POLY/MADE IN JAPAN. The waves were so good that I decided to get up super early tomorrow morning to surf before my flight. The quality of the waves was that good. I'll report back tomorrow. https://youtu.be/GkyLh4lGddo

Today we set sail before dawn and headed to a new spot.

Today we set sail before dawn and headed to a new spot. I woke up early because I heard the waves were going to be bigger, but they weren't as big as I expected, so I ended up surfing at a different spot than my original destination. The right break I surfed yesterday had bigger waves than yesterday. We enjoyed a private surf session. Jay was doing some great carving on his RNF'96 Lightspeed 2. Nishii replaced the center fin of his Big Rig Driver with a small fin from the MR Twin. I tried surfing with a good release at the top and it worked surprisingly well. I'm testing how the fins on a surfboard change things. You can really get a good idea of ​​the fins' performance by testing them on waves where you can practice reef breaks repeatedly. Nishii has lots of original fin design ideas, so please look forward to them. Also, this FUWAX cooler is the perfect GOODS for Indonesia's tropical climate! I use it with ice in it! https://youtu.be/GkyLh4lGddo
