2017 PLACEBO new model "EL-DIABLO PLUS" master shape board unveiled!
"We are receiving a flood of inquiries!!!" Just released from PLACEBO, which has finally been announced Please take a look at the unreleased "master shape board" photos of the new model "EL-DIABLO PLUS" . This is a big difference from the previous model "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO". A photo taken during development explaining the cuts in the shape of the elevator wings. This is a photo of the master board data for the "EL-DIABLO PLUS" model, which Mayhem designed using AKU software on a PC, before the AKU machine cut the foam up to this point and Mayhem created the master shape. Nishii has been developing and testing behind the scenes until now, so he hasn't been able to make it public, but he tested it with Mayhem many times before completing the master board using a POLY board. If you look closely, you'll see that the elevator wings on the right and left boards are different. The one on the right is almost the same as the previous TABELT, The one on the left has a slightly different EVW design. The product uses the elevator wing on the left side. Delivery to retailers nationwide has also been completed. Just like "GOBLIN," which was released last year, new pre-release products are always out of stock in the first year of production, so be sure to go and see "EL-DIABLO PLUS" early before it sells out! The double flex provided by the new material "FLEXLITE-HYPER" provides incredible acceleration!

This is a photo of the V3-STEALTH model after the shaping was completed. The wing designed by MAYHEM looks really cool. The reason why LOST surfboards look different and cooler than others is because they are designed with such intricate details. This is Yago Dora, a Brazilian LOST surfboards team rider. He is a surfer who really enjoys riding the LOST Carbon Wrap. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/168770778[/vimeo] He also rode it at the Chiba QS6000 Ichinomiya in 2016. Here's the video. These are Kolohe Andino's boards. They're arranged in order of length from left to right. Love Surf is currently selling two used boards by Kolohe Andino! The two red boards are the V3-STEALTH on the left, available with or without a channel. The board on the right is the BABY BUGGY, now recognized worldwide as LOST's standard high-performance model, suitable for intermediate riders and easier to ride with its round outline. These are the boards before the LOST "CARBON WRAP" was completed. Nowadays, it's becoming commonplace for LOST riders to own a "CARBON WRAP" , and it feels so good when you try it out that the number of people buying it again is rapidly increasing! If you haven't tried LOST 's "CARBON WRAP" yet, I highly recommend you give it a try. It is suitable for the wave quality in Japan, and even for those who prefer POLY, it has glass that has been adjusted for weight, The advantage of EPS foam is that it paddles quickly and takes off quickly!

Learn more"RNF-REDUX" Nishii's impressions after riding it. Surf photo by Masanori Furuta.
Impressions from Nishii himself on the RNF-REDUX / Surf Photo by Masanori Furuta The round nose of the RNF-REDUX has a large area, so compared to the pointed nose of a competition type, you can get on the nose and position the paddle forward, which inevitably puts weight on the front paddle.This allows you to naturally slide down into the wave, which is necessary when taking off, so you can start running quickly even though the takeoff is short. The RNF-REDUX's excellent take-off performance means that it will be fast even in torrential waves, thick waves, or waves with no power, and even those who have never ridden it can imagine from its outline design that it will be fast, but in fact, it also has good take-off performance in deep, rising waves. It can be easily taken off even in waves that suddenly dig up on reefs or beaches. Its short length allows it to fit into the wave pocket, and the moderately pointed round nose allows it to be made without turning sideways and pearling. In slower waves or thick breaking waves on high tides, it glides out of the swell, and in fast, digging waves, it feels like it can glide out instantly. In terms of movement, it's short, so it moves lightly. This is due to the length of the rail and the curve of the outline, which gives it good rotation and drive. The trick is to adjust the way you turn; putting in a long rail, bending your knees, holding on, and the time it takes to release is proportional to the size of the turn. If you release quickly when turning, you can make a tight, radical turn heading towards the lip at a steep angle, and if you hold on, you can make a big, driving, and impressive-looking big turn. The tail area is best described as piercing the waves. This is partly due to the latest wing, but the swallow tail, a tradition of the RNF series, reacts more quickly and sensitively to tilting the rails left and right than the squash tails found on most high-performance boards. This means that even when you're surfing and your judgement is slow to match the wave, the board responds quickly, reducing the number of mistakes you make. Once you get used to it, you'll be able to ride larger waves, and in fact, a video has been released of Mason Ho having fun riding the RNF-REDUX at a reef break in his hometown of Hawaii.The well-balanced shape design of the RNF-REDUX makes it suitable for a wide range of wave types and sizes, making it a board that can be enjoyed by surfers of a wide range of levels. Once you start riding the RNF-REDUX, you'll want to recommend it to others and be able to say with confidence that the RNF-REDUX is amazing. If Nishii were asked which board he would choose if he could only have one surfboard, he would choose the RNF-REDUX without hesitation.

Learn moreA session with Masato Yukawa riding his own model LOST's CHOPPER!
This photo was just taken last Sunday. The photographer is the same one who took the photos of Nishii the other day, "UEAHARA." On this day, Masato rode his own model , LOST's "CHOPPER." This black rail colored board is apparently a magic board. He pulls out his fins and slides through the air to perform the trick. Did you know that the base model of the LOST CHOPPER is the DOS-DIABLO model? So, although it is short, the paddle is easier to use than it looks. It has thin rails similar to the SPARTAN , which is based on the same DOS-DIABLO model, so you can ride it very sharply. It's short, so it's easy to air, Even with such a small size, it can still make sharp carving turns. This is one of the good points and performance features of the LOST "CHOPPER" model . I can surf normally, The noseless design provides excellent turning performance and a unique riding feel. I also recommend this board to anyone who likes unusual board designs and wants to feel like they're riding a special board. It may look unusual, but it's a friendly board to ride. The " CHOPPER " is a model that can be recommended to surfers who want to practice airs. Based on the "DOS-DIABLO" model, it has good initial acceleration. It will help you gain speed and give you the opportunity to practice your airs over and over again! https://vimeo.com/191082986 https://vimeo.com/159666167 https://vimeo.com/157896921
