Nishii arrived in Japan from California the day before yesterday.
Yesterday I went to a test drive event at Chigasaki Park.
The wave conditions were onshore knee-high waves,
In Lost,
LOST's "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" made of polyester was popular.
Compared to LIBTECH material, which is hard and unyielding, and can only run in a straight line,
We received feedback from general users who actually tried out the two boards, saying that the PU material is much easier to ride as it flexes smoothly, turns, and is easier to ride!
In placebo,
PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST is by far the most popular test ride!
This year, the
"GOBLIN" was the only new model released, so it was very popular for test drives.
The most popular board size for test rides was small due to the wind and waves in Shonan, so many people wanted to try out the larger 5'10" size.
The "GOBLIN" is a board that is easy to ride even for boards of a size above the appropriate weight, so
For example, if you have been riding a longboard and weigh around 65-75 kg,
This design is also suitable for those who want to try shortboarding or are considering switching over. It is also recommended for female surfers who lament that longboards are too long and large to carry around by themselves, as it can fit in cars and elevators. The pointed nose, wide width, and plenty of buoyancy make it easy to ride. For both, we recommend the larger-than-normal size,
the GOBLIN 5'10" .
Thanks to the approximately 70 participants, the organizing staff, and the various manufacturers for your hard work!
