Hello! I'm Kohei, a staff member.
Recently, with the start of summer vacation, we have seen many families and beginners enjoying practicing on
PLACEBO ORCA in areas slightly off the peak!
This season, many different brands are releasing various types of softboards, but are softboard users really satisfied?
Softboards have become popular worldwide, and we often hear stories of people who bought one because they were attracted by the color or the advertising, but then only rode it once and never got around to using it, or because it was quick to take off, so they just left it in the garage at home...If you've ever felt that way, we highly recommend
the PLACEBO ORCA !!!
The inside of
the PLACEBO "ORCA" Soft Top & Hard Bottom is a real surfboard.
The EPS center stringer foam is shaped, and two layers of 4oz + 6oz cloth are glassed with epoxy resin to form the deck surface. A thin layer of bamboo is then applied on top of that, and a soft top is then attached on top of that. This makes it very strong, and the soft top absorbs shocks. It has a completely different structure from typical molded sponge boards. The bottom is a hard bottom painted with the same epoxy resin as a regular board, so you can ride it just as well as your usual hard board.
To ride
the PLACEBO ORCA well, make sure to load it up and surf a big line.
The turns are relaxed and large, allowing for graceful driving.
When you want to rip, step on the tail and put weight on your back foot to move the board lightly.
The
PLACEBO ORCA Soft Top & Hard Bottom is the softboard of choice for serious surfers like you who surf year-round. It also comes with genuine FCS II fin plugs, so you can use your existing FCS II fins.
The shape design of the LOST "ORCA" model, designed by Mayhem, has been updated with size adjustments. Even in areas where the wave isn't digging,
the PLACEBO "ORCA" has a steep vee at the tail, so you can step firmly on the tail and easily turn into a rail. Once you take off, it picks up speed easily, making most tricks, including floaters, a breeze. All three sizes have sufficient buoyancy, so you can also noseride the "Hang Five."
The deck surface is covered with PVC rubber, and when it gets wet, the ORCA takes on a lifelike texture, providing a smooth, non-slip grip whether you're barefoot or wearing boots, without the need for wax.
Typical sponge boards used in surf schools don't have the bounce back after bending at the bottom, so even pros can only make half-hearted turns without much drive. But
the PLACEBO ORCA is a real surfboard, so it bounces up to the top. This gives you more time to watch the waves and makes it easier to time your turn to get into the barrel.
There are three board sizes available. How about getting
the "Orca" that can take on small waves?
It has plenty of buoyancy and a soft top, so it's safe for beginners and kids to use.
If you remove the fins, you can use it as a finless board at the beach where soft boards without fins are allowed, and it's also great for fun situations where you go to the beach with friends or family and everyone has fun riding together.
It's hard to break, so we also recommend using it in the "WAVE Pool"!!!
There are only a few sizes left, so if you're considering it, be sure to act quickly!
