Thank you everyone for coming to our store and purchasing so many "Brand New PLACEBO Surfboards"!

Mr. A, You chose PLACEBO's "FISHQUEST II" FLEXLITE-CANDY. This board is the only one ever produced in the world. It is based on the FISHQUEST II model, which was released in the very early days of FLEXLITE-CANDY development, and has been given a new color scheme. The board size is 5'4", which is the least produced size. Mr. B PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He was looking for a board that was short but easy to paddle and had a fast takeoff. He came to the store to see the actual board and was very impressed with the wide design of the "GOBLIN," which he could barely hold under his arm. Mr. C said, You chose PLACEBO "SHORT ROUND" FLEXLITE-BOOST. He visited our store and compared various models, including LOST, before purchasing our popular PLACEBO model, the "SHORT ROUND," which met his requirements in terms of length and CL, and he liked the outline. He says surfing is good for his health, so he gets up early and goes surfing from Tokyo several times a week before work. Mr. D, He chose the PLACEBO CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-BOOST. He's a veteran surfer with a long history, but recently he's been taking lessons for friends who want to start surfing, but he's not been surfing himself, so he came to our store looking for a new board to surf on. He purchased the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model, which he'd been interested in for a while. Mr. E PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He was moving from Japan to California, so he wanted to bring with him a Japan-exclusive model that wasn't available in the US. The board's length, width, and CL value were just right, and the design looked easy to ride and great for riding, so he chose the Goblin. Everyone! Please come visit us! Thank you for purchasing so many new PLACEBO surfboards!

Mr. A, He chose the LOST " DOS-DIABLO " POLYESTER White Poly Pro Tail Patch. He hadn't surfed in about 10 years, and was looking for a board that was easy to ride but still had some movement. He had seen reviews of the board for its ease and speed in taking off and paddling, so he came to see it in person and purchased it. Mr. B, You have chosen PLACEBO's " RNF-EVOLUTION " FLEXLITE-BOOST. He previously rode the classic LOST model, the Round Nose Fish. He loved it so much that he came to our shop after hearing about the new, improved model. He's excited to be riding the durable, long-lasting Presto. Mr. C said, LOST " GOBLIN " FLEXLITE-BOOST was chosen. He hadn't ridden for about three years, and during that time he'd gained weight, which meant the buoyancy of his board was no longer sufficient. He also had another board that broke, so he came into the store to ask for advice. He was also considering the EL-DIABLO, but since he often surfs in the Kamakura area near his home, we recommended the GOBLIN. After purchasing the board, he immediately went out to Izu to surf. Mr. D, He chose LOST's " SHORT ROUND2 " BLACK DART. This is Mr. D's second custom order for the " SHORT ROUND 2" model. His first custom order was for the " SHORT ROUND 2 " model with a CARBON WRAP. He said the "SHORT ROUND 2" model is in great condition, and that the only word he can describe it as being "the best." We encourage everyone to try out the "SHORT ROUND 2" model. Mr. E, You chose the LOST "DIABLO-SPARTAN" CARBON WRAP. This board is a newly arrived stock board that is currently the most inquired about at Love Surf! It 's more affordable than a custom order, and the price difference with a Poly board is small, so it's readily available and we've received many inquiries from savvy customers. Mr. E was also considering a custom order, but after hearing that he could choose the right size from three models, he came to the store to compare the size and other models before purchasing. Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many new surfboards! Come visit us this weekend to check out the newly arrived stockboards from "BLACK DART" and "CARBON WRAP" at Love Surf! A custom-ordered board with the same specifications would cost around 250,000 yen, so the stock boards we've just received are a real bargain! These "CARBON WRAP" and "BLACK DART" stock boards are now on display and for sale in our store. Be sure to consider getting one soon before they sell out! If you have any questions about board models or appropriate sizes, please feel free to contact us by phone at 03-3732-5532 or by using the inquiry form here!

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

Mr. A, You chose PLACEBO "TITAN" FLEXLITE-BOOST. He has always been a performance-oriented surfer, so he came to our shop to ask for advice. He has been interested in the "TITAN" model for some time, so he decided to try it out. He is looking forward to being able to achieve more precise action with PLACEBO's high-performance model, the "TITAN." Mr. B, He chose the PLACEBO CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-BOOST. His favorite model until now was the FISHQUEST2, so with the addition of the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO , he'll be able to surf a wider range of waves, even bigger and more powerful! Mr. C said, PLACEBO "RNF-EVOLUTION" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. Apparently, this model has a reputation for being easy to ride when you ask people who actually ride it. When you're buying, it's reassuring to hear from people who actually ride it. When you hear that it's good, you'll want to try it even more! Mr. D, PLACEBO "RNF-EVOLUTION" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. It was quite some time ago, but he used to ride the classic LOST Round Nose Fish model and loved it. So when he found the RNF at Prescebo, he decided to buy it. Mr. E, PLACEBO "V3-ROCKET" FLEXLITE-CANDY was selected. He said he was light and was looking for a board with less buoyancy. He came to the store and saw the actual board and loved it. This colored board is a limited edition model, with only one made in stock. Thank you everyone for coming to our store and purchasing so many new surfboards!

Mr. A, You chose PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST. He purchased this board as a second board for his current favorite CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model for small waves. This combination of the two boards is more versatile than the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO alone, so we highly recommend it! Mr. B, LOST "DOS-DIABLO" POLYESTER + White Poly Pro Tail Patch was selected. He currently rides a PLACEBO RNF EVO 6'3" and wanted to step up to a board with better maneuverability, so he chose the LOST DOS-DIABLO 6'0". He said he wants to take his surfing to the next level with the stability and maneuverability of the popular DOS-DIABLO! Mr. C said, LOST 『SHORT ROUND 2』 POLYESTER + White Poly Pro Tail Patch was chosen. He came into the store and we listened to his story, and we were able to suggest boards that would suit his needs, so he looked at a variety of boards from PLACEBO and LOST from various angles, comparing the actual boards. In the end, he purchased this "SHORT ROUND 2" model, as he liked the length, outline, concave, and wings. Mr. D, LOST "V2-SB" POLYESTER was chosen. Until now, he had been surfing on a large board that was not suited to his level and body, but as he has become better at paddling, taking off, and going up and down, he wanted to improve his surfing with a reliable, high-performance board, so he purchased our easy-to-ride, high-floor ``V2-SB'' model. Mr. E, LOST "BEAN BAG" POLYESTER was chosen. As a veteran surfer, he owns many surfboards, including LOST and PLACEBO, but this time he wanted a board that was wide and fun to ride, and with better performance for riding smaller waves than his current board, so he decided to ride the magic model "BEAN BAG" recommended by Nishii. The purple resin color matches the model perfectly! Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many new surfboards!

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

Mr. A, LOST 5'8" chose the "SHORT ROUND" POLYESTER. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/short-round/short-round He had been interested in this model for a while, and when he found the size he wanted at a sale price, he purchased it. He chose it a little longer so that he could use it for small waves as well as all-around riding. Mr. B, LOST "CHOPPER" POLYESTER was chosen. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/chopper/chopper Although the model name does not include Diablo, after reading the description of this board it appears to be based on the Diablo, so the balance between reliable take-off performance and the agile movement of the noseless board is appealing, which is why the customer purchased it. Mr. C said, LOST "DOS-DIABLO" POLYESTER was chosen. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/dos-diablo/dos-diablo This time, it seems that he hadn't been surfing for a while, so he took that into consideration and searched for a board that would be easy to ride, and chose this model. Mr. D, PLACEBO 5'9" CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FELXLITE-BOOST was selected. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/placebo2015/conquest-el-diablo-lost-placebo2015/conquest-el-diablo-lost-placebo2015 Until now, he had been enjoying surfing with the same PLACEBO "FISHQUEST2" model, but he switched from the "FISHQUEST2" model, which he said he had always wanted to try. Mr. E, LOST 5'11" chose "DOS-DIABLO" POLYESTER. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/dos-diablo/dos-diablo In any case, when he goes surfing, he chose the DOS-DIABLO model as the board that he can ride more times than anyone else and practice more of the basic movements of surfing.

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

Mr. A, You chose PLACEBO's RNF EVOLUTION FLEXLITE-BOOST. This model is a hidden favorite. The larger 6'1" and 6'3" sizes are especially popular. The overwhelming majority of people who choose the larger sizes for this model are long board riders who are fascinated by shortboards and want to switch to them. The round nose gives these people a sense of security and allows them to enjoy riding. Mr. B, He chose the LOST V2-SB Polyester White Poly Pro Tail Patch. Until now, he had been riding boards other than LOST, but he wanted to try out MAYHEM's excellent shape design, so he first ordered a custom board as his main board to ride in a standard style. He is currently custom ordering a "SHORT ROUND" as his second board for small waves. The reason he didn't go with the "SHORT ROUND II" is because the outline of the "SHORT ROUND" is wider and more suited to small waves, and he wanted to differentiate its performance from the "V2-SB." He really knows what he's doing! Mr. C said, LOST "F-1 STUB" POLYESTER WHITE POLY PRO TAIL PATCH was selected. This board is a replica board with the exact same design and size as the board shaped by Mayhem for Julian Wilson. It was produced in limited quantities a few years ago, but the board size is narrow and only a limited number of people can ride it, but this board was purchased because it is the perfect size and design for riding in big waves rather than the usual board. Mr. D, LOST "PUDDLE-JUMPER-JP" POLYESTER was chosen. He came to our store to pick up a board he had reserved before it arrived. He had been considering purchasing a Lib Tech "PUDDLE-JUMPER," and when he saw the JP model of the same model being released online, he called to inquire about sizing. He loved this Japan-only ROCKET model, which is easy to ride in Japanese waves and has a functional and stylish tail design. Rather than the stiffness of a Lib Tech board, which may be too stiff for the weight and leg strength of Japanese surfers, he chose the board for its comfortable feel while surfing, which is the most important factor. This JP model has been adjusted for Japanese surfers, so if you choose a larger size, it's an easy model that even beginners can ride. Mr. E, He chose the LOST "SUB-BUGGY-JP" POLYESTER WHITE POLY PRO TAIL PATCH. He had a five-year hiatus, gained weight during that time, and found that his old board no longer provided enough buoyancy, so he came to the store looking for a board to restart his surfing. After looking at several recommended boards and comparing the design with the board he had been riding, he decided to purchase the "SUB-BUGGY-JP" model recommended by Nishii. Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many new surfboards!

Everyone! Thank you for coming to our store and purchasing so many "new surfboards"!

Mr. A, LOST "SUPER-DIABLO" POLYESTER specification was selected. He had pre-ordered a board before it arrived, and it arrived, so he came to pick it up right away. He purchased the LOST SUPER-DIABLO, which is the same model as the PLACEBO GOBLIN but with a different tail shape, and because it allows for more movement and a more driving line. Mr. B, LOST "BABY BUGGY" POLYESTER specification was selected. This board was also pre-ordered before it arrived. The "BABY BUGGY" is a high-performance model with plenty of volume, but also rocker, and a moderately narrow nose and tail line. The "BABY BUGGY" model arriving in Japan has Japan dimensions, meaning Mayhem has readjusted the size for the Japanese market. Mr. C said, LOST "SUPER-DIABLO" POLYESTER specification was selected. She is a female beginner surfer. Her boyfriend, a veteran, recommended a board for her to start surfing. Rather than relying on length for buoyancy, she wanted a board that would provide stability while still being short enough to allow for control. She also purchased the SUPER-DIABLO because it has grab rails, making it easier for women with small hands and limited grip strength to dolphin. Mr. D, You have selected the special edition PLACEBO TABLET II. He is currently riding a DOS-DIABLO BLACK DART board, but he also purchased it as an additional board to reduce buoyancy and ride sharply in good waves. This board is a special board with carbon wrapped around the rails. This is a prototype board, and the other board we are currently selling is the 5'5" V3-ROCKET. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/44223/ If your size fits, don't miss it! Mr. E, You chose the LOST "GOBLIN" POLYESTER specification. This is a board that was custom ordered immediately after the customer saw the "GOBLIN" model on the web. It's a resin-colored POLYESTER board, so it's a perfect custom board! The swallowtail with elevator wing, just like the PLACEBO GOBLIN , is available as a custom order for the LOST "SUPER-DIABLO" base, but there's an additional charge! Feel free to custom order your own original board! Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many new surfboards!

Everyone! Thank you for coming to our store and pre-ordering PLACEBO "GOBLIN" before it arrived!

Mr. A, He chose the PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST. He's a heavy user of LOST since the RNF era. He's ridden a variety of models, but he likes unique designs, so he immediately pre-ordered the "GOBLIN." Thank you for pre-ordering before it arrived! Mr. B, PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. We had the Love Surf sticker placed in the same position as Nishii's personal Goblin. Thank you for pre-ordering the "GOBLIN," your best friend in small waves! Mr. C said, PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. We've received a pre-order for the "GOBLIN" to ensure it can catch a lot of waves with its excellent take-off performance and then move briskly and sharply once you're on the water. Thank you! We hope you enjoy the fastest take-off performance of any presser footboard! Mr. D, PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He purchased the latest model, "GOBLIN," as it allows him to ride any wave with an advantage and is sure to have fun whenever he goes surfing. Thank you for pre-ordering! Mr. E, PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. Amazing! Apparently he bought two different sizes at the same time and will be comparing them. Pre-ordering two before they arrive is a real bargain! Thank you for pre-ordering! Everyone! Please come to our store and reserve your PLACEBO "GOBLIN" before it arrives. Thank you for your purchase!
