The event was held on the first Sunday of the weekend after travel restrictions were lifted.
This is a test ride report for the LOST & PLACEBO surfboard. The location was Chikura Beach in Chiba Prefecture.
The event is hosted by the father of LOST surfboard team rider Anon Matsuoka.
The company we run is DAKINI surf & beach.
"ZEKE 2.0"
"SMOOTHE OPRATOR"
"SWORD FISH"
"CALIFORNIA TWIN"
ROCKET REDUX
RAD RIPPER
The waves were waist-high, so these six models were very popular for test riding.
Among them, I rode on
the "ROCKET REDUX"
Both Anon and her dad praised it highly!
The SWORD FISH has also received high praise from people who have tried out a number of different boards.
It's based on the RNF-RETRO, so it's no surprise that Kolohe named it after it!
We received a lot of feedback saying that even people with a heavy body or weak paddle skills can ride
the ZEKE2.0 and catch a lot of waves!
The monthly beach cleanup was also held, so everyone cleaned up the coast.
Apparently, they haven't been cleaning the beach for the past few months due to the effects of COVID-19.
According to a local resident who regularly participates, there was less garbage than usual.
Maybe it's because people weren't using the beach!
There were masks in the trash, but...
Nishii took a break from the test drive and
LOST surfboards team rider Anon Matsuoka was surfing so we took some photos.
I'm currently sorting through the photos and will post them on this blog tomorrow!
The next test ride event is scheduled for Sunday, July 5th at KI-SURF!
