Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member.
The other day, I checked the wave information before going to the beach and the waves were low, only waist to belly high, and by the time I got to the beach the wind was getting stronger, but the forecast was that the waves would probably get a little bigger.
*This is an image for illustrative purposes only.

After some deliberation, I decided to go with the RAD RIPPER, which I've been hooked on recently after trying out different fins, even though the waves were small. I wanted to ride the LIGHT SPEED, so I loaded the RAD RIPPER into my car, and the SHONAN WARRIOR, which I use as an insurance against small waves so I can ride it to my heart's content if the waves break. And then I headed to the beach.

When I got to the beach and checked the waves, the noodles were clean, but the shins, knees, and eggs were all over the place...
The conditions were quite tough for a shortboard, so I chose the SHONAN WARRIOR without hesitation and got in the water.

In such small conditions, the lineup was dominated by surfers using regular shortboards, and even the skilled surfers would manage to take off on the occasional set, only to sink the moment they stood up. However, I had my secret weapon, the SHONAN WARRIOR, so I had a blast!

As I mentioned in a previous blog, the board paddles quickly and keeps moving even on waves where a shortboard would lose speed and sink.In sections with shoulders, you can even add action, so you'll have so much fun you'll feel bad for the surfers around you!
I highly recommend having one in every household.

In 2022, PLACEBO has adopted new high-strength cloth and PVC sheet (in FLEXLITE ULTIMATE4), making it stronger. Many of the models have materials and model designs that make use of buoyancy, and we recommend the ``RNF-SNAPPER,'' ``RE-LOADED,'' ``RNF-ULTRA,'' and ``ORCA'' for small conditions!
For the RNF-SNAPPER, click here!

The model we are introducing this time is a surfboard that can produce waves of 35 points or more even in small conditions, where a regular shortboard would send you home without even going into the water.
You can enjoy satisfying surfing without using longboards or mid-length 7 or 8 boards, which have poor maneuverability, are large and inconvenient to carry, take up space at home and are booed by family, and are difficult to carry in elevators!
Each model has a different ride feel, so please feel free to contact us at a Love Surf store or
