Thank you everyone for coming to our store and purchasing so many brand new PLACEBO surfboards!

Mr. A, PLACEBO's "SMOOTH OPERATOR" DURA-FLEX 3 was selected. The other day, he purchased a GLYDRA, but he had so many boards that he decided to give it away. However, he still wanted a longer MAYHEM board, so he purchased the 6'8" SMOOTH OPERATOR. Mr. B, PLACEBO "TABLET-REDUX" DURA-FLEX3 was selected. The customer was riding a 7-foot board and wanted to shorten it to shortboard length so it was easier to ride. Since he also had a 5'10 board, we suggested a board that would be easy to ride and handle, so that it would not be used for the same purpose, and he purchased the 6'2 TABLET-REDUX DURA-FLEX3. Mr. C said, PLACEBO "RAD DIABLO2.0" FLEXLITE-ULTIMATEⅤ was selected. He had been interested in this board for a while as he uses the EL DIABLO, and said that the waves tend to pick up during his off-time, so he was looking forward to seeing how the bottom channel would work on his first ride, and so he purchased the 6'2" RAD DIABLO 2.0. Mr. D, You chose PLACEBO's RNF-SNAPPER FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE V. He said that he sometimes felt that the GOBLIN 5'7 was too sluggish for him to move around in, so he wanted to go down a size.He had considered the RNF-SNAPPER last year, but it sold out quickly and he was unable to purchase it, so he purchased the 5'5 size, which was almost out of stock. Mr. E, You chose PLACEBO's RNF-SNAPPER FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE V. This customer is a heavy user of "MAYHEM" and rides a variety of LOST & PLACEBO. He prefers shortboards with pointed noses, and initially came to Love Surf with the PLACEBO RAD DIABLO 2.0 as his first choice. After talking to him, he realized he was looking for a surfboard to use in small waves, and we explained to him that the PLACEBO RNF-SNAPPER would be a better fit, which he then decided on. Everyone!

Everyone! Thank you for coming to our store! Thank you for purchasing so many brand new "LOST Surfboards" Polyester Made in Japan Quality!

Mr. A, He purchased LOST's "RNF'96" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. His beloved RNF'96 broke, and he contacted us thinking of sending it in for repair, but he decided to take this opportunity to try out a different size. The broken RNF'96 was being ridden with a lot of underflow, so he checked the model description on the Love Surf website, changed it to the correct size, and switched to a new board. Mr. B, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0 THUMB TAIL" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He is a veteran surfer who owns surfboards from various brands. He came to Love Surf wanting to try out the LOST, which he had been interested in for a while. He prefers high-performance models with a crisp feel, but he chose the BRO Dimension due to a slight decline in his physical strength. His wife bought it for him as a birthday present. It's the perfect present for a surfer! Mr. C said, You have chosen LOST "RNF'96" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. I found out that it was a masterpiece from LOST and started searching on websites other than Luvsurf. People who have actually ridden it have praised it highly, so I wanted to try it out, and I thought it was a must-ride. I bought it when I came to the store. Mr. D, He chose LOST's ``DRIVER3.0'' and ``SUB DRIVER2.0 THUMB TAIL'' Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He is a veteran surfer who uses a variety of models, from the "DRIVER" series to the "PADDLE FISH," depending on the conditions. This time, he decided to go for the round tail model of his favorite Hyper Month model without any hesitation. He is a surfboard enthusiast with such skill that he can even install a box and set up a five-fin setup on models such as the ``DRIVER'', which are normally ridden with thrusters, and he says he will self-tune this time as well if he has time.

Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many brand new LOST surfboards!

Mr. A, LOST "RNF'96" LIGHTSPEED Proformance Epoxy was selected. He surfs by switching between long and short boards, but this time he purchased the 5'8" RNF '96 LIGHTSPEED board, which is somewhere in between. He said it would be fun to ride it comfortably while still being able to move quickly. By the way, he hopes that his daughter will make her surfing debut one day. Mr. B, He chose the LOST "RNF'96" DOUBLE DART (Black Dart Limited). He had been eyeing the RNF '96 Double Dart model since he first heard about it, and when it was restocked he immediately purchased it. While production numbers were extremely limited, he was able to find a 5'3" bike that perfectly suited his body, and couldn't be happier. Mr. C said, He purchased LOST's ``CALIFORNIA TWIN'' LIGHT SPEED Proformance Epoxy. He is currently a MAYHEM user who is fond of PLACEBO's "RAD DIABLO 2.0". This time, he came to our store to inquire about the ``CALIFORNIA TWIN'', which is perfect for small conditions. The customer had already decided on the model and was undecided between Polyester and LIGHT SPEED, but after comparing the two and explaining the differences between them, he felt that the LIGHT SPEED was overwhelmingly lighter and easier to move in than the Polyester, so he decided to purchase it. Mr. D, He chose the LOST "RNF'96" DOUBLE DART (Black Dart Limited). He had been hoping to ride the RNF'96 model someday, and when he found out it was going to be released on the DOUBLE DART, which he wanted the most, he waited online and purchased it as soon as it was released. Mr. E, He chose the LOST SUP DRIVER LIGHT SPEED Proformance Epoxy. This SUP DRIVER model is so popular that stockboards sell out as soon as they arrive, so he came to the store on his way back from the beach to buy one while we still had the right size. Everyone!

Everyone! Thank you for coming to our store and purchasing so many new "LOST Surfboards" Polyester Made in Japan Quality!

Mr. A, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0 THUMB" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. I own a LIGHT SPEED pickup and a SUB DRIVER 2.0, and this is my third SUB DRIVER 2.0. This time, I chose a 5'9" BRO dimension board with a slightly increased CL value than usual, with the intention of using it in small waves as well. Mr. B, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0 THUMB" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. Recently, he has been riding boards with more buoyancy, and when he rented a SUB DRIVER2.0 in the ocean, he found it to be a good ride, even though it was much smaller than his own size. He was convinced that the SUB DRIVER2.0 with its adjusted buoyancy would definitely work well for him, so he came to our store on his way back from the beach and purchased the 5'11" board. Mr. C said, You have chosen LOST's "SUB DRIVER2.0 THUMB" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He previously purchased a LOST BLANT from Luvsurf and it's been going really well. He has other new boards but has been using the same one for a while. Since the BLANT has a wide round tail, he wanted to try out the SUB DRIVER 2.0 THUMB tail, so he purchased the 5'10" BRO. Mr. D, You have chosen LOST's "DRIVER3.0 ROUND" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He usually uses a slightly wider shortboard, Apparently, he was interested in DRIVER3.0 because it is used by top professionals. This DRIVER3.0, my first Mayhem board, was chosen as the 6'0" PRO size, which is sharper than my other boards. Mr. E, LOST “DRIVER3.0 ROUND” Polyester Made in japan Quality and You have chosen LOST "DRIVER2.0" Polyester Made in Japan Quality.

He was using the 6'6 RNF-ULTRA and said he wanted to try riding a shorter board as well. Since the customer was tall, we recommended the 6'0" WIDE DIM. Mr. C said, You chose LOST's "PARTY CRASHER" Made in CALIFORNIA USA. I feel that my current surfboard is too long and lacks buoyancy, so it's not a fish type. From the model boards available, he chose this 6'0" PARTY CRASHER. Mr. D, You have chosen LOST "RNF'96" Made in CALIFORNIA USA. He felt that his paddling skills were lacking because he had been going to the beach less often throughout the year. He's planning to restart his life with a new board.

Mr. E, We chose LOST's "GLYDRA" RESIN COLOR Made in CALIFORNIA. He is a veteran surfer who uses a variety of surfboards depending on the conditions. After checking out the riding videos of LOST Surfboards' international rider Luke Davis, he chose the GLYDRA, which works well in both small and large waves.

Mr. A, PLACEBO "RNF RETRO'18" DURA FLEX3 was selected. He is a heavy PLACEBO user who has ridden all of PLACEBO's new products, including the RAD DIABLO and RNF SNAPPER.

Mr. B, PLACEBO "RE LOADED" DURA FLEX3 was chosen. He said that his favorite spots are getting very crowded and it's becoming harder to catch waves, and he likes the FISHQUEST because of its fast take-off, so he continues to use it.
