Luvsurf TV: PLACEBO “LAYZ-POTATO” Koji Nishii
Rider: Koji Nishii
Board used: Placebo 5'5" LAYZ-POTATO FLEXLITE-BOOST
FILM: Hayato Masuda
EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM
Nishii himself has been riding this board with great success at LOST, and he felt that it would perform even better with PLACEBO's FLEXLITE material, so he really wanted to ride it, which is why it was adopted by PLACEBO.It is a highly refined board with a unique story.
The floater also has its own unique stretch.
You can glide stably even on whitewater!
You can see how the speed increases as you move into each carving turn. The split carbon FLEXLITE-BOOST material prevents twisting and provides high-rebound flex, allowing you to gain speed.
Nishii was recently riding this board on a Japanese typhoon wave.
"That board is coming out at an incredible speed from an incredible place. It looks like you're in good shape."
The board material, BOOST, has the best flex in PLACEBO history, allowing for superb turns.
The nose is round,
I can always surf at high speed so I can easily do lip surfing.
The round board allows for unexpectedly sharp lips that amaze onlookers.
Because I'm feeling good,
At someone's request, I was able to do a turn with my hands behind my back like this!
Check out Nishii's current riding style on his favorite board.
