Based on your experience riding boards up until now, which board did you choose this time?
LOST 5'9" from "SHARK"
I switched to the original Placebo 5'8" TABLET model without carbon and was doing great surfing, but after a three-year break due to injuries sustained in a traffic accident, I decided to switch to a board that would allow me to surf more easily.
Placebo 5'11" 『RNF-EVOLUTION』 FLEXLITE-TURBO early model
The board I chose this time is the latest 2015 model,
In the first year of the RNF-EVOLUTION release, only the smallest size of 5'11" was available,
He chose the 5'11" RNF-EVOLUTION , but the nose is round and large for its length.
Apparently, when U tries to lip with his small body, he ends up doing a top turn.
So, to make it sharper, we chose a board with a pointed nose.
Apparently he's switching to the 5'10" CONQUEST EL-DIABLO .

It seems that it is easy to control the board. This "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model has
There is a wing at the top and the squash tail where the back foot is placed becomes smaller towards the tail.
It seems to be the design I was looking for.
Mr. U, with this "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model,
Make sure to choose the sharp, crisp lipstick we talked about in store!
U-san told me that Love Surf is "the shop where surfers who are particular about surfboards go to!"
I received a very nice comment. Thank you very much!
