Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member.
This will be a daily blog about "SMOOTH OPERATOR"!
It's been a while since it was uploaded, but the other day on Arashi Murata's YouTube channel, there was a scene of professional golfer Joe Azuchi riding the PLACEBO SMOOTH OPERATOR, and it was so cool, so if you already own a SMOOTH OPERATOR, or are considering buying one, you should definitely check it out!
"Of course they're professionals, so they're fast!"
I can hear you saying that, but even considering it's for professionals, the SMOOTH OPERATOR has a fast paddle and a fast takeoff!
Check out the stance position of professional player Joe Azuchi!
Your stance is quite narrow, and both feet are positioned forward in relation to the surfboard!
The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is a long model, so by moving not only your back foot but also your front foot, you can increase your speed without pumping around or getting left behind by the waves!
On the other hand, when you want to perform a solid action, you move not only your hind legs but also your front legs backward.
As a result, the stance width is also wider.
I know I'm repeating myself, but with longer surfboards, movement on the board is especially key!

The riding of Joe Azuchi, a professional shortboard rider and current 3rd in the ASIA QS rankings, is stylish and very informative, so this episode will be a must-see for anyone who owns a SMOOTH OPERATOR, as well as those considering buying one.
