In 2015, Placebo will undergo major changes and evolution.
First of all, the logo design has become boxy, angular and modern.
Placebo means capsule medicine, so the image of a two-tone capsule medicine is just as it sounds.
However, unlike previous versions, we used a square capsule medicine to create a strong black and white image.
I really like this image because it shows Placebo heading towards a new concept.
Of course, all Placebo surfboards are designed by me, Mayhem.
On the technical side, we have changed the position of the carbon.
In recent years, large carbon fibers have been added to the center, which have also become very high-performance with excellent rebound properties.
However, we discovered that by adding carbon to both sides, we could prevent twisting while still achieving high repulsion. In other words, it is effective not only in the vertical direction but also in torsion.
Moreover, it is lighter because it uses less carbon.
FLEXLITE-BOOST uses this striped carbon.
The FLEXLITE-BOOST is for surfers who want to push the board hard and do high-level surfing.
Unlike the FLEXLITE-CANDY, it is a board with high rebound performance.
This means it's suitable for surfers who can put the rails deep and push the board down.
By not using carbon in the tail area behind the fins, the board flexes more, making it easier to turn and control.
We developed FLEXLITE-BOOST for surfers who want quick response, rebound, and a strong feel for their surfboard, and who want to surf at a high level.
Simple black and white color.
It's lightweight, strong and precise!!
