▪️Placebo 『ORCA』Soft top/Hard bottom model explanation video
This is the Precevo soft top.
The market is flooded with boards made of sponge,
This PLACEBO soft top board is different from those sponge boards.
This board falls into the category of "soft top boards."
The bottom is coated with epoxy resin, and the deck has a killer whale (orca) design with a black and white embossed skin. With a wide nose, wide center and tail, and a flat rocker, this board design is strong in small waves.
This is a pre-release version of the ORCA shape design that was previously available at LOST.
Inside this ORCA is a surfboard!
Shaped EPS center stringer foam,
Two layers of 4oz + 6oz cloth are applied to the deck surface with epoxy resin.
Then, a thin layer of bamboo is applied on top of that.
The structure is such that a soft top is attached on top of it.
This makes it a very strong and shock-absorbing board.
These colorful boards, which come from the same factory as the sponge boards used in schools and Costco's Storm Riders, are durable and don't get heavy from the rails fraying or seawater getting in through the fins or leash plugs.
It's probably stronger than a regular surfboard.
After trying various bottom options, including softer ones, we decided to release the board with a hard bottom, because surfing isn't fun if you can't feel good riding the waves. This also means you can use the real fins from the FCS2 you already own. Of course, if you remove the fins, you can ride it as a finless board, and because it falls into the softboard category, you can use it at beaches that support it.
This is a board that really lasts a long time, so it would be fun to get one and try riding it.
Wax is not necessary. It has been tested to provide a firm grip even without wax, so you can rest assured that it will remain in good condition for a long time without wax.
This board is really soft and durable, so you can jump on it without any worries!
Of course, the deck surface is also durable.
There is a moderate amount of rocker, so it moves smoothly.
And it's a very sturdy board!
There are three sizes available: 34CL for 5'6", 40CL for 5'10", and 50CL for 6'2".
It has a lot of buoyancy, so you can enjoy the small waves in the summer!
