Yesterday we had a test drive event at Higashinami Beach in Ichinomiya, Chiba Prefecture.
It was hot like a summer day and light offshore knee-high waves.
So many people came to the test drive event that I didn't have time to take photos.
"BABY BUGGY" and
"DIABLO SPARTAN."
The DIABLO SPARTAN was test ridden at 5'9".
"BABY BUGGY" is my board.
The waves were small, so I recommended a larger size than I usually recommend, and had everyone try it out. Nishii also surfed with everyone for about an hour, but because the waves were small, there were a lot of long boards, it was crowded, and there weren't many waves, so I went for a 5'10" 'GOBLIN' 42cl. So I was able to catch about 10 set waves in an hour.
This person said it was their first time riding a PLACEBO, and they usually ride thinner POLY boards. When they got
on the 5'9" CONQIUEST EL-DIANBLO , they were amazed at how well it paddled. They were hesitant to ride a board with such buoyancy, but were surprised at how nimble it was and how many waves they could catch.
I had him ride the 5'4"
SHORT ROUND , but the waves were weak and small.
We also had them try out the 5'4"
Goblin , but they said it was much easier to
ride and they were able to ride it a lot more.
"CARBON WRAP" attracted a lot of attention from everyone, and many people took it for a test drive.
We received feedback that they were able to experience how the board easily flexes and accelerates even in small waves!
Thank you to all the participants and staff for your hard work!
