Learn moreFor all you FU WAX users, which season are you using it in right now?
For all you FU WAX users, which season are you using it in right now? At the first Quiksilver WCT tournament held in Australia in the middle of summer the other day, it seems that the majority of players were using FU WAX Tropical. I'm sure you all know that King Kelly is a big fan of FU WAX. John John, a young Hawaiian, is a great musician not only in Australia but also in his home state of Hawaii. He says he mainly uses TROPICAL and WARM. Dane is amazing at free surfing, but for some reason he's not doing so well in contests. It seems he used TROPICAL in the WCT heats. Since Miguel P is Brazilian, he has an easier time getting his hands on FU WAX than other WCT players. Of course, the product used by the winner, Medina, was "FU WAX." FU WAX has been available in Australia since last year and its 3D grip performance has been recognized. It's been a big hit and is selling well. Apparently, RUSTY's sales manager is also a FU WAX user. Travis, a WCT player from South Africa, is also a fan of FU WAX. He has appeared on the 24'S blog many times, so some of you may already know him just by looking at him. This is Fado, also known as FU, who handcrafts FU WAX from all over the world. Daji, who rides a LOST/MAYHEM board, is also an avid FU WAX user. It supports that intense turn of the board. Korohe also uses the precious "FU WAX" as a work tool. Apparently he keeps all the colors, from COLD to TROPICAL, stored away at home so that no one can use them. Brad Simpson, who was ranked as a WCT elite surfer again this year, also uses FU WAX. You're a regular user, aren't you! Kelly's signature 360 maneuver is also highly successful thanks to the support of FU WAX. This is a wax sales shelf at a certain surf shop. FU WAX is exploding in popularity, just like it is in Japan. It can't be helped, as once you use FU WAX you can feel the difference in grip performance compared to other products. This is proven by the fact that Kelly, who surfs seriously as a job, and many other WCT elites use FU WAX. So, what season of FU WAX are you using right now? Spring is coming in Japan and the air and water temperatures are getting warmer. The water temperature rises slowly, so if the water temperature is such that you are still wearing gloves and a cap, I recommend "COLD". If you are surfing without gloves and in water temperatures that are about boot-sized, I recommend "COOL". One of the characteristics of "FU WAX" is that even though it is soft when applied, it hardens when immersed in cold seawater. It's just right when you feel it's soft when you apply it, and when you go surfing and get into the seawater, It provides the best 3D grip performance! *This is what surfers are stocking up on before the tax increase! You can purchase "FU WAX" here! * Posted by Luvsurf .
Learn morePlease take a look at the photo of the XTR-FX board for the "CONQUEST -EL-DIABLO" model.
Today Nishii was busy checking around 1,400 photos taken by KUNI photographers of team rider Masato Yukawa in Byron Bay/Australia, discussing advertisements and catalogue issues with Surfing Life magazine, and organising around 800 photos of LOST surfboards taken by photographer KENYU the other day, all while serving customers in the store. The weather was good and we had a three-day weekend before the consumption tax increase, so all the staff at Love Surf's physical store were extremely busy. Thank you! Some customers even came by Shinkansen, and many customers came from far away by car. Thank you! From the official announcement until today, the most popular model we receive inquiries about by phone and email is the "CONQUEST -EL-DIABLO" model, and customers who visit our physical store always ask, "Show us the new Conquest!" We have now organized photos of the XTR-FX board, the extremely popular "CONQUEST -EL-DIABLO" model, so please take a look. "DECK" Beautiful and cool outline. "BOTTOM" A board that looks good is fast. This is the deck seen from the diagonal tail direction. It has a volume that is gentle and safe for surfers over 40 years old. This photo clearly shows the single concave on the bottom side. The fusion of complex, beautiful curves is something that has been thoroughly researched and is very difficult to imitate. This is the bottom surface seen from the tail. The squash tail that is narrowed by the wing is very appealing. Looking at the board from this angle, you can see that the bottom has a large, deep single concave. This large, deep single concave allows the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO board, which has a thicker concave than the TABLET, to run and float, giving the board freedom, allowing the rider to control the board as easily as if they were riding a thinner board. The CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model's strongest, high-performance material, XTR-FX, For "pre-orders" and "board size inquiries," Please call 03-3732-5532. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact.html Or feel free to contact us using this contact form!

Since its announcement as Placebo's new model for 2014, we have received many inquiries and pre-orders. Nishii prefers to ride the "NEW RIPQUEST" model in QUAD. The tail is an EVW split diamond, so it is sensitive, light and maneuverable. It's better than the TABLETII model. Because it is designed specifically for lipping, it is the ultimate lip action practice board for anyone wanting to master lip action. This model is specialized for lip action, but carving is also possible as a normal movement. Of course, you can do it exactly like this. It moves well, so you can get a quick lip action even in places where the waves are not deep. This is a board that you can practice on over and over again. Users of the "TABLET" and "TABLET II" models! This year, take on the NEW RIPQUEST and master the rip action. So that you can easily switch from the TABLET or TABLET II models right away, We have set the sizes so that you can choose the same length.

Learn moreThis is a comparative explanation of the rail and deck shapes of all 8 Placebo 2014 models.
This is a comparative explanation of the rail and deck shapes of all 8 Placebo 2014 models. To compare, please look at the photos of the parallel machine placed in the center of each model. Please see the explanation as well. All photos by KENYU The "LAYZ ORCA" has the flattest deck shape design. It is designed specifically for small waves from knee to chest height, and the thickness in the center allows for extremely fast takeoff. The second one, which may come as a surprise, is "TITAN." Although it is a performance model, it inherits the deck design of the base design SUB-DRIVER, The paddles move more easily than typical performance models. The third is the V3-ROCKET, which also inherits the semi-flat deck design from the traditional ROCKET series. There is particularly a lot of volume in the front (nose) so you can take off while putting weight on the front. The fourth is the "FISHQUEST II" model. It was developed and designed as a small wave second board for the TABLET II model, and has a thick center. However, as you can see, the rails are surprisingly thin. The fifth is the "NEW RIPQUEST" model. It is designed so that you can practice lip action repeatedly without strain. The center part is Although it is thick, the rail section is surprisingly thin and rounded towards the rail to improve maneuverability. The sixth model is, what a surprise! The TABLET II model. As you know, the paddle takes off quickly and moves lightly. A board with a thick center value moves lightly. The rails are thin and rounded so that they don't become too thick, allowing for easy movement. This is because the rails are surprisingly thin compared to the center. The seventh one is "ISLANDER." Based on the design of LOST's "F1-STUB," this model was redesigned by Mayhem for larger waves. It has a narrower width than other models, but the distance to the tip of the rail is short and it thins rapidly from the thickest part in the center. The eighth and thinnest model is the RNF-EVOLUTION. This is a redesigned version of the RNF model for the Japanese market. In order to improve take-off and paddle speed performance, The dome-shaped deck design allows for thinner rails to avoid compromising maneuverability as the maximum width of the board has been increased. The QUEST series, which is sold exclusively in Japan, includes the TABLET II, FISHQUEST II, and NEW RIPQUEST. Although there is thickness in the center, the rail shape is thinner than the center value. I hope you can see that each model has a logical rail and deck shape based on the concept. * Posted by Luvsurf .
