Check out these photos of Cory Lopez riding the Placebo ISLANDER FLEXLITE-TURBO.
Photo by Hayato Masuda.
Cory, who came to San Clemente from Florida for the US Open, said he was going to surf at LOWERS.
Please take a look at the photos I took.
On this day, Corey showed up with the 5'11"
ISLANDER model and the 5'7"
V3ROCKET model.
The wax is of course
"FU WAX" .
Of the boards I brought, the one I chose was the 5'11"
"ISLANDER" model.
Taking advantage of his long arms, he performed layback huck turns many times.
The new FLEXLITE-TURBO has a carbon bottom.
He said it felt much better than the original FLEXLITE, which didn't have any carbon fiber.
Even though he's 35 years old, Corey still surfs fast and never slows down.
The ISLANDER model was developed as a model to ride when there is a certain size,
This is a board that can be ridden in bigger wave conditions than usual.
If you are on an overseas surf trip or on a typhoon or grand swell day, you can ride big waves safely and comfortably.
Corey's specialty is the layback, where he falls over and then gets up.
This curved turn, where the nose is twisted all the way from here, is also a specialty of his.
Everyone is watching!
From the peak, Ward was riding the best waves on the right and Cory on the left.
This is the Placebo version of the lost
F1-STUB model
, the ISLANDER model. He also nailed the air with ease.
Nishii filmed Cory's surfing this round on video, so please look forward to it!
