It snowed yesterday! Are you prepared for the cold? Love Surf has a wide range of cold weather gear.

Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. There was snowfall in the Kanto Plain yesterday. Everyone, are you ready with your boots, socks, gloves and head caps? Love Surf has a wide range of cold weather gear! [ap_show_item 117322] [ap_show_item 78013] [ap_show_item 78356] You'll understand after using it once, but there's a big difference between wearing it and not wearing it - this is a warm head cap. Wearing it can have various effects, such as preventing surfer's ear and preventing seawater from getting in! [ap_show_item 117330] [ap_show_item 4338] [ap_show_item 56534] Not only when surfing in cold ocean water, but even when you're going from the ocean to your car, your hands feel like they're going to get torn off. SURF8 gloves are designed to fit Japanese hands, reducing stress and providing comfort. [ap_show_item 118191] [ap_show_item 117396] [ap_show_item 102613] [ap_show_item 102600] [ap_show_item 78070] If you force yourself to wear boots even in cold seawater, your whole body will get cold and it will affect your surfing performance. Some people don't like wearing boots because it makes it difficult for their feet to move forward when taking off, but one of the reasons for this may be that the muscles in their lower body are cold and stiff. Taking proper measures to protect yourself from the cold will make a difference in your performance, so we recommend wearing boots or socks without overdoing it! For cold weather gear, click here!

There are only a few ORCA boards left, a super-fast soft top board that can be enjoyed not only by beginners but also intermediate and advanced riders!

There are only a few ORCA boards left, a super-fast soft top board that can be enjoyed not only by beginners who are just starting out, but also by experienced surfers! There are many different soft surfboards on the market from various brands, but some people have experienced problems with their surfboards becoming heavy as soon as they were used, or with the seawater leaking out of the board and flooding the car on the way home. Others bought one because it was trendy, but it just went in a straight line without any bounce, so it ended up sitting unused in a warehouse... I often hear this kind of story, but PLACEBO's ORCA is different! The PLACEBO ORCA, designed by MAYHEM, a leading surfboard designer, is made by shaping the EPS center stringer foam used in regular surfboards, glassing two layers of cloth with epoxy resin, then attaching a thin layer of bamboo on top of that, and then attaching a soft top on top of that.It is a structure that took a lot of time and effort to create, and it gives a completely different riding feel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h39-h6H2Dnk&list=TLGGvi5J2fFOhk8zMDAxMjAyNA Be sure to check out the riding video above! You can see that Nishii, riding the ORCA, is riding with ease and enjoyment, lipping and noseriding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K69Ue3aJTsk The deck surface of the PLACEBO "ORCA" is covered with PVC rubber, which absorbs shock, so even children and women can enjoy it safely! Of course, PVC rubber is very strong and hard to break for surfboards, and it grips well when wet, so no wax is needed, making it a versatile material. [ap_show_item 15455] Again, the PLACEBO ORCA, designed by MAYHEM, a leader in the surfboard scene, has a very fast take-off and easily picks up speed once taken off, making it easy to enjoy surfing even in small conditions!
