This is a LOST surfboard mat, and of course, this PLACEBO surfboard is also my MAYHEM design.
Introducing the new PLACEBO model "GOBLIN." The "GOBLIN" is a new design based on the FISHQUEST model concept. It's a short, wide, and thick, compact surfboard. It's the easiest model to paddle and is perfect for riding small waves. It has ample buoyancy and a slight rocker, yet still has good turning ability.
It has a very deep concave for increased float. This extra float allows you to ride the wave from the peak. It also gives you the speed to glide effortlessly on small waves, making it easy to surf.
It also has the design to be a high performance board.
It has a single wing swallow with a thin tail and an extremely deep wing.
Thanks to this wing, even with a thick board, you can easily make sharp turns by placing your foot on the tail. This wing becomes the axis of rotation.
The elevator wing also further improves turning performance. There is a gentle elevator wing with a step of about 16 cm that runs toward the front fin. The tail is wide, but the elevator wing allows for easy and smooth rail turns. When you put the rail in, water flows along the elevator wing, which makes it possible to turn in narrow areas and prevents sliding. The rail rocker is added to the elevator wing area. So even though the board is wide and thick, this rail rocker acts as an axis to enable sharp turns even in narrow pockets of small waves. The area in front of this provides forward propulsion and speed, while the tail area where the back foot is located provides excellent turning performance.
The curved carbon line on the bottom, a feature of the FLEXLITE-BOOST structure, gradually widens from the nose to the tail. The buoyant front foot area, where the carbon is narrow, is firm and moves forward when you step on it, increasing acceleration. And by ending the carbon in front of the front fin, the rear tail area, which is free of carbon, flexes, converting it into speed.
This grab rail allows you to grip the rail firmly even on boards with buoyancy, making dolphin-throughs easy.
The grab rail grooves also reduce the buoyancy at the front of the deck slightly, making the nose of the board lighter and easier to turn.
This is the new PLACEBO model "GOBLIN" designed by me, Mayhem.
