We are pleased to announce that advance reservations for Placebo's 2012 model will begin on February 1st!
The day has finally come when we can introduce it to you all!

Chris Ward fell in love with the new RNF model that Mayhem had designed and developed for Japan from scratch.
He immediately joined the development team, provided feedback to Mayhem and repeatedly took test rides.
This is the unveiling of a model that he has said he will produce himself, and which will be sold exclusively by New Japan.

The board design makes the most of its length, and combined with Placebo's best material ever, FLEXLITE-TURBO, it moves effortlessly, and its flex performance will amaze you.This round nose board is a new category for adults that is different from mini boards and is attracting attention this year.

It reflects UV rays to prevent the board from heating up, and the UV-blocking paint prevents discoloration over the long term.

It has been edited into two versions, 5'11" and 6'3", so please compare them.
This is an example of how riding differs depending on the board size.
