Check out the close-up of the popular Placebo ORCA Soft Top & Hard Bottom.

We've been flooded with inquiries and reservations even before it arrives! This is what the soft top, which does not require wax for the deck, looks like up close. Because the surface is embossed, it won't slip even without applying wax. This is the boundary between the soft deck surface material and the hard bottom surface. Unless it is a factory with high technology, It is impossible to recreate such a beautiful ORCA design while creating rails and edges. The hard bottom surface is finished with paint, just like FLEXLITE. It might be easier to understand if you think of it as a matte placebo. FCS II fin box. The Placebo ORCA Soft Top & Hard Bottom fins, which are also made with a special structure, use genuine FCS II boxes from FCS. Nishii also tried Tri and Quad, This fin setting is the one that works best for me. This is a combination of MR twin and center stabilizer fin . The color of the fins matches perfectly with the ORCA, so I highly recommend it! Placebo『ORCA』Soft top & Hard bottom 5'6″ x 20.0″ x 2.63″ (168 x 50.8 x 6.7 cm) 34.0cl ¥85,000 5'10" x 21.0" x 2.75" (178 x 53.3 x 7.0 cm) 40.0cl ¥87,000 6'2″ x 22.0″ x 3.13″ (188 x 55.8 x 8.0 cm) 50.0cl ¥89,000 The items will arrive before Golden Week! Look forward to it!!!

As expected! The RNF-REDUX is best ridden with a CARBON WRAP!

Nishii is staying in California until the end of this week. I met with Mayhem and he explained the board design to me. To ensure that the completion of the boards you have been sending us does not delay, We also work at the LOST factory to ensure there are no mistakes. LOST allows you to order both POLY and EPS from various companies according to your model. This allows us to produce boards of higher quality and performance. For overseas and domestic manufacturers, and manufacturers with low production volumes, The only way to make a board is to choose from ready-made forms in a catalog, MAYHEM's commitment is to make products that are different from the materials they use. This is the MARKO form made of EPS exclusively for LOST. We discovered the MARKO form kept for "Kolohe Andino"! It's the center stringer. PLACEBO, CARBON WRAP, BLACK DART, etc. Other manufacturers have also been increasingly using EPS over POLY in recent years. EPS has more resilience than POLY, so it can generate speed even in weak waves. It's perfect for the typical wave conditions in Japan. Well, Nishii's 2018 continues! This is still my number one recommended model! Recently I've been riding only the 40CL PLACEBO "ORCA", I was surprised when I rode the 27CL 5'5" RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP! To surf as usual on a big board, put in the rail firmly Since turns have to be made carefully, riding the ORCA was good practice. As expected , the RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP is a great board! All performance, including paddle, take-off and maneuverability, is well balanced. It moves freely and is fast! It has many good points! If you haven't ridden the RNF-REDUX yet, Please give it a try! The best way to enjoy the RNF-REDUX model is to ride it with a CARBON WRAP. For the "RNF-REDUX" model, be sure to choose the CARBON WRAP specification !

The youngest rider on the WSL World Tour! What model will 15-year-old Caroline Marks ride?

Those of you who watch WSL LIVE may already know this, but we'd like to introduce you to Caroline Marks, a 15-year-old super rookie from San Clemente, Florida. She joined the WSL World Tour this year as the youngest player on the women's tour at just 15 years old. He has a solid line and powerful surfing that is hard to believe he is only 15 years old. At the WSL tournament currently underway at Bells Beach, he is apparently using Ockie's surfing as a model. He won last year's QS series riding a lost surfboard and secured a spot on this year's World Tour. The board she rides is called `` DRIVER .'' The DRIVER is indeed Lost Surfboard's ultimate high-performance model. " DRIVER " and "RNF-REDUX" It's a masterpiece that will go down in the history of surfboard design. " DRIVER " is a size with more buoyancy for people of average skill level in Japan. We have " BRO Dimension " available, so please give it a try!

Which model would you choose? Check out the four LOST surfboards in the 2018 lineup.

The recommended 2018 LOST surfboards come in four different lineups. With so many LOST surfboards to choose from, which one should you choose? To help you choose the surfboard you'll be riding, LOST surfboards are broadly divided into four lineup categories. We will explain in an easy-to-understand manner which line is best to choose from these four. "Performance Line" *UBER DRIVER *SUB-DRIVER *DRIVERS *POCKET ROCKET These are models that LOST has developed for competitors from world class to amateurs. The markings on the boards of these models are the Pro Performance Series and the logo printed in small letters. These models have continued to achieve excellent results, including numerous victories, in many competition scenes, including the world's top-level World Tour and Japan's JPSA and All Japan Amateur Championships. Some models are available in a thicker, more buoyant size called the BRO dimension. With these BRO dimensions, even average level surfers can enjoy the performance of the Pro Performance series. In car terms, it's like comparing a racing car to a detuned commercial model. "Performance Line" *DIABLO-X *DIABLO-SPATARN *V3-STEALTH *SUB-BUGGY-JP The Performance Line offers easier paddling than the Pro Performance Series. It can be enjoyed even by those who are not yet at the level where they can master the Pro Performance Series. It is also suitable for those who want to compete in future competitions but are not yet at that level. It is also recommended for those looking for an all-around board with excellent overall balance that can be used in any wave. If the size is appropriate, it can be used in amateur competitions. "Free Surf Line" *RNF-RETRO *RNF-REDUX *ALIEN *CHOPPER *BEAN BAG *PUDDLE FISH-JP This board combines the qualities of a fishy board with high performance, creating a friendly, easy-to-ride hydration design. It's designed for surfers who want to enjoy surfing freely, gracefully, and with a touch of lip, depending on the wave and their mood, without being bound by conventions, and who want to create their own unique lines and style. This series is for freesurfers who want to surf uniquely, regardless of whether they're competing in a contest. "Easy Surf Line" *GOBLIN *SUPER DIABLO *DOS-DIABLO *ORCA *RE-LOADED This model was developed and engineered to allow Japanese surfers who only surf on weekends, once a week, or even less frequently to enjoy surfing in average Japanese wave conditions. Developed through a collaboration between LOST founder Matt Biolos (aka "MAYHEM") and Love Surf's Nishii, the Easy Surf line offers easy, fast paddling and launch from swells. The main concept is to let you ride more waves and have more fun than anyone else, making it the best possible board for you. This line is especially recommended for those over 35, veteran surfers with a long surfing history, and adults looking for a board to compensate for declining physical strength. From these four model line categories, Use this as a reference to help you choose which LOST board is best for you based on your needs! For advice on choosing a surfboard, please call 03-3732-5532.
