Everyone, the "King of Surfing" Kinger has joined the Presebo team! Today we'd like to introduce him riding
Goblin with some photos taken by Nishii.
If you've seen the
LOST "HERE TODAY... GONE TO CABO" DVD, you probably already know this, but Ward's protégé, "Kinger," also known as the "King of Surfing," who is a good guy in San Clemente but feared as a dangerous person, has joined the Precebo team!
Nishii and Mayhem have been riding PLACEBO boards well in San Clemente, so Kinger has been on his mind for quite some time.
I've ridden boards from several companies that have EPS cores and are made of epoxy resin, and I also rode a LIBTECH board at LOST, but none of them felt good because they didn't have the flex performance needed for surfing and didn't bounce back when I lipped.
However, as Mayhem said, the PLACEBO has amazing rebound, so the board pops and goes fast, and it feels really good.
This time, Mayhem gave Kinger four boards.
"LAYZ-POTATO"
"SHORT ROUND"
Goblin
"CONQUEST EL-DIABLO"
These are the four models.
Anyway, because it's so big, it makes deep turns, thick lines, and produces a lot of spray!
He can do air and barrel with that huge body. He can't win contests, but...
Mayhem has said before that he's a good surfer.
Despite his huge size, he is a skilled surfer, able to noseride through the water.
Nishii filmed the surfing on this day, so please look forward to the release of the footage of "Matt "King of Surfing" King"!
We also plan to release footage shot by his personal photographer, Tony!
Huh!
Because Placebo is doing great???
Look forward to the amazing surfing footage that will make you think, "Wow, this is even possible!"
