Introducing the "Round Tail" version of The Ripper, the globally popular 2024 small wave shortboard model. The new model "The RIPPER" Round Tail has a round tail that makes it suitable for a wider variety of waves than the original squash tail. The stock board for "The RIPPER" Round Tail has already arrived at "LIGHT SPEED2".

As expected, many of Love Surf's website visitors are surfboard enthusiasts, and they seem to have taken an interest in this new EPS/EPOXY technology board. Nishii has actually completed a test ride on the "LIGHT SPEED2" and has begun riding two stockboards of the same quality as the ones we'll be selling soon. Compared to the previous Light Speed, the "LIGHT SPEED2" offers increased stability and ease of riding, and the "High Densile Glass Fiber" built straight into the centerline from nose to tail enhances turning, making it a board we can confidently recommend. Among them, the RNF'96 model stockboard, the one Nishii most wanted to ride, has just been released. Available board sizes range from 5'4" to 5'10". The board features a gradient black airbrush finish on half of both side rails, creating a faded look that makes for a stunning finish. Even if you're used to riding boards with the same EPS/EPOXY technology, like the Black Sheep Built or Double Dart, you'll be able to experience the difference in performance and riding feel of the LIGHT SPEED2 technology thanks to its multiple fiberglass construction. The LIGHT SPEED2 is another new epoxy board you're sure to love. The price is ¥198,000 (tax included).

Learn moreYou can really see the performance of a surfboard by riding it on pool waves!
I was checking out the footage of the Palm Springs Wave Pool I visited the other day, which I received from Kenta PRO cameraman. As expected, when you ride waves in a pool, you can ride the same waves repeatedly, so you can really get a feel for the board's performance. The RNF'96 LIGHT SPEED2 that Nishii is riding has a fast takeoff even in freshwater waves in a pool, I stood up, went down to the bottom, and from the first bottom turn the board flexed so much that I was gaining a lot of speed. As the car picked up speed on the first turn, I could see the spray flying well. When you ride in a web pool, you can see the difference in the performance of the surfboard, so you can check it out on video. Nishii also fell in love with this board, the RNF'96 LIGHT SPEED2. I encourage everyone to get this ``LIGHT SPEED2'' and try surfing. He likes riding high-performance, high-tech boards like Double Dart and Black Sheep Built. We recommend "LIGHT SPEED2" to users as it is different! https://youtu.be/q0uNG3ATrzw
