"RNF-EVOLUTION" and other Placebo models and design comparison

Today, let's compare the much talked about "RNF-EVOLUTION" model with a Placebo model that is thought to have a similar design. The bike on the right with the tail grip attached is a 5'11" Lancer Evolution . The one in the middle is the 6'0" "UBER-FISH" model, On the left is a 6'1" Lancer Evolution . Although it has the same swallow-type tail design, you can see that the Lancer Evolution is narrower and smaller than the UBER-FISH model. And here is a comparison with the 5'10" BLACKSHEEP on the left . I placed a 6'1" Lancer Evolution next to it, and it turns out that the tail of the 6'1" Lancer Evolution is smaller and thinner. Next up: On the right is the 6'0" "UBER-FISH" In the middle is a 6'1" Lancer Evolution On the left is 5'10" "BLACKSHEEP" Compare the difference in swallowtail width. Because the tail of the Lancer Evolution is thin, when you step on the tail, it acts as a pivot, digging into the water and acting as a fulcrum to turn the board. This creates the Super Swallow effect. The tail area is thin, so one of the features of the Lancer Evolution is that you don't feel like you're riding a long board. Now let's compare these three outlines. The right 6'0" "UBER-FISH" and the left 5'10" "BLACKSHEEP" have slightly pointed round noses. The middle 6'1" Lancer Evolution has a straight rail line from the center of the board's widest point to the nose. It is connected to the nose and the tip of the nose is the roundest. The center line of the surfboard is straight, so the longer it is the more drive it will have. This time, I placed the 5'10" UBER-FISH on the right . In the middle is a 5'11" Lancer Evolution On the left is 5'10" BLACKSHEEP . The 5'10" UBER-FISH originally has a rounder nose than the 6'0" UBER-FISH. The reason is that the other sizes of the "UBER-FISH", the 5'6" and 5'8" "UBER-FISH" models, All three sizes, including this 5'10" "UBER-FISH," have the same round design. The "UBER-FISH" model is only available in the 6'0" size. This size/model was added two years after the release of the UBER-FISH, so only the 6'0" size has a narrower nose. Of these, the one with the most rounded shape is the 5'11" Lancer Evolution. The round nose is wider and flatter than other models, so it pushes up the waves and takes off faster than other models. The 5'10" UBER-FISH and the 5'11" Lancer Evolution. The 5'11" Lancer Evolution has a thin nose so the tip of the board doesn't feel heavy. The flip nose rocker design at the tip is also a well-designed and functional design that prevents the nose from feeling heavy. The length and surface area of ​​the Lancer Evolution board make paddling and take-off speeds quick and easy. When riding, make sure your back foot is firmly planted on the deck grip and turn at the top, and the board will produce a large line and a big spray. The Lancer Evolution is a board designed for adults to ride on lines. The first shipment is scheduled for late March to early April, and we are now accepting pre-orders!
