The "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model is a gentle model that can be ridden even by those who have moved beyond the beginner level!

Today Nishii rode the LOST "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" POLYESTER! The waves have gotten smaller, and while until last week the water temperature was high enough to surf in just board shorts, like in Indonesia, it has now returned to normal water temperature for a full suit. Today, there was a weak wind swell after an onshore wind, so I went out on the LOST ``P UDDLE JUMPER '' POLYESTER! It's been a while since I last rode it, and the takeoff performance is great. The PUDDLE JUMPER-JP is the only model other than the Diablo that offers paddle and takeoff performance that is comparable to the Diablo series, such as DOS-DIABLO, SUPER DIABLO, and CONQUEST EL-DIABLO. Since the FU WAX had been thoroughly removed, I applied a new base coat firmly. I used TROPICAL as a middle coat and WARM as the top coat. Because it is a POLY board, there are many unavoidable dents on the deck. For dents, slightly raise the corners of the FU WAX to make it fit in. It's perfect when applied to the base, middle and top. Please avoid scrubbing or applying it in a messy manner. When applying wax, be sure to carefully check for dents and important areas. This is highly recommended for storing FU WAX. It can store three pieces, so you can store a base, middle, and top piece. Even after removing the wrap, do not throw away the label, but press it onto each wax and store it. Please try it so you don't lose track of the types. The tail of the Japan-exclusive model " PUDDLE JUMPER-JP " is a rocket tail. It is quite different from the US model with its super wide squash tail ridden by Westerners with an average foot size of 12 inches, and has a rocket tail design with no corners and a reduced surface area to make it easier to control for Japanese riders with an average foot size of 8 to 9 inches. The " PUDDLE JUMPER-JP " model is the best-selling model in the US, fine-tuned and designed for Japanese people to make it even easier to ride.It is wide and has a large water contact area, allowing for stable paddling and riding, so it is a gentle model that can be ridden even by those who have moved beyond the beginner level and mastered paddling and takeoff, and is highly recommended!

Our top recommendation for PLACEBO surfboards is the "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model!

Today I took the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model out for a surfing session. The reason I chose this model is that the US Open has ended in California and there are still QS competitors from all over the world remaining, and the Lowers are filled with strong competitors, so it's not easy to catch a wave. This was to beat the paddle speed of the world's QS surfers in their teens and twenties. It was a crowded course, and the world's top surfers had superior paddle strength and wave-catching techniques, but when I was riding the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model, I was able to get on the waves a beat faster than them and ride the waves I wanted. Until now, we have been recommending that those who have the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model as their main board combine it with the GOBLIN, as it allows them to ride better as a second board when the waves are weak or small. Recently, the number of users who only use the very popular "GOBLIN" board has increased dramatically, We also recommend adding the "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model! If you're considering a PLACEBO surfboard and aren't sure which PLACEBO model to start with, then the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO is the obvious choice. It's easy to ride and offers the most versatile wave quality. It's also the best-selling PLACEBO surfboard, developed and designed by world-renowned surfer MAYAHEM, who prioritized paddle and takeoff performance from the LOST CONNQUEST model. This model is a Mayhem masterpiece! The "Dolphin Grab Rail" that comes with the board has excellent grip and allows you to sink the board deep. Once you experience the "Dolphin Grab Rail", you'll find that boards without it are not enough. If you're looking for just one PLACEBO, start with the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model! or If you're looking for the ultimate pre-release combination, we recommend "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" + "GOBLIN" !

Get a design with elevator wings and split swallow tails that allows you to easily control thick boards!

As expected! The "LAYZ POTATO" model is a masterpiece sold exclusively in Japan!

As I mentioned yesterday, Nishii analyzed himself after watching the DVD that is given as a gift to customers who spend over 3,000 yen at Love Surf. I thought that both LOST and PLACEBO were doing the best surfing overall while riding the LAYZ POTATO model. Since I hadn't ridden it recently, I took out the "LAYZ POTATO" model and tried it out, and sure enough, it ran! It moved! It was easy to ride on both small and big waves. You can make small turns, drive turns, The paddle, which is what everyone is most concerned about, is also fast! The "LAYZ POTATO" model matches the design better when ridden on a placebo, I'd love for everyone to try it out, so I'm letting you know! The reason why riding on a PLACEBO is a good idea is that the unique deep flexibility of the PLACEBO's FLEXLITE material makes it easier for the board's flex effect to spring back and bounce. It's easier to gain speed than with other board materials. This is the feeling that people who ride other PLACEBO models have! Even when you float, you can still gain speed and ride the top of the curl, connecting waves. This model has excellent speed performance! The "LAYZ POTATO" model, sold exclusively in Japan, is a masterpiece on par with the RNF! This is a model that I would really like everyone to try out! Please check out the DVD as well!
