Nishii explains! Comparing the outlines of two popular models: "GOBLIN" and "RNF-REDUX."

LOST and PLACEBO's popular two models "GOBLIN" and Please see the explanation for a comparison of the outline design of "RNF-REDUX" . At Love Surf, these two models are used as short second boards. Both are the most popular boards by brand. Nishii has actually ridden these two models to his heart's content, It seems that many people are considering these two models. We will explain the biggest design difference, the "outline." For the explanation below, please compare the "Outline" in the photo above. The "GOBLIN" is wider, with a wider nose and tail. "GOBLIN" is better. The "outline" that connects the widest part near the center to the tail end and nose end is, in extreme terms, close to the diameter of a circle, so when you turn, the board spins around inwards, allowing for tight turns, which doesn't require high waves and makes it easy to move up and down. On the other hand, "RNF-REDUX" The width itself is narrower than the Goblin, and the outline is extremely straight, so if you turn in the same way, the arc of the turn will be larger and you'll feel like you're driving forward. This means that the driving performance is even better. This is just a comparison of the two models. When comparing any board, compare the outline curve shape like this. Keep this in mind so you can compare the feel of turning when you actually ride it. Which of these two models would you choose? The total price of the products is approximately 800,000 yen, and there are no misses! The "Bonus Campaign" is currently underway and is very popular!

The popular new product "COOL SUMMER," which was created based on the opinions of professionals, has been added, bringing the total to six types!

The photo was taken at the LOST Brazil beach house in Brazil, where FU WAX is based. Everyone took a commemorative photo holding the "FU WAX" that was distributed to them. The Gabriel Medina Memorial Museum is also located in Brazil. The Hu family came out here and gave presents to the staff. This is the truck that left the FU WAX factory and headed all the way to Japan. FU WAX is heavy, so we load as much of it as we can onto the truck. This is a photo of all the staff at a trade show in Brazil. The man on the left in the black T-shirt is Mr. Hu's son, Gee. "FU WAXER" Photo from Alaska. I have the "COLD" option because the water temperature is like ice water and I'm wearing a head cap, gloves and boots. This is a photo of my son Gee on a trip to Indonesia (in white T-shirt). Visiting the world-class left break "Desert Point" Apparently he gave it to a surfer as a gift. This is Mikey Wright, a popular QS surfer known for his punk and exciting surfing. He is the youngest of the Wright family, with his older brother Owen Wright and his older sister Taylor Wright. Brazilian team rider David Silva, who has won three QS titles this year. The one who looks happy is the "World Champ." The grip performance of "FU WAX" is clearly different from other waxes, Kelly and other "World Champ" class surfers always use it! The popular new product " COOL SUMMER " was added, based on the opinions of professionals, bringing the total to six types. It is now possible to respond to more precise water temperatures. "COOL SUMMER" is likely to sell out soon. It's very popular, so if you can find it at retailers across the country, we recommend securing enough to last you until next spring!
