Learn moreThe best-selling PLACEBO model "RE-LOADED" that sells out every year is nearly sold out!
We are pleased to announce that there are only a few units left of PLACEBO's long-selling model, PLACEBO "RE-LOADED"! The RE-LOADED meets a variety of needs, not only for those switching from longboards to shortboards or those returning to surfing, but also for surfers who are used to small, breaking waves and crowded spots where shortboards just can't handle it, and it is the ultimate weapon. It has a volume that is unexpected considering its length, so even those with little paddling strength can paddle easily and move forward smoothly. This means you can take off with little effort and ride the waves to your heart's content, which will naturally put a smile on your face! "DURA FLEX3" is an original eco-friendly technology. Of course, the PLACEBO brand's signature surface strength and semi-permanent colorfastness are still intact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Q-Yb07a44&list=TLGGfTAKLPJyrFkxMTA3MjAyMw After custom shaping the "AERO-BLANK EPS" foam, the deck surface is hand-glazed with three layers of 4+4+6oz cloth, and the bottom surface is hand-glazed with two layers of 4+6oz cloth using epoxy resin! Both sides of the surfboard are made of tapered carbon, with a narrow, pointed trim from 20mm at the nose tip to 1mm towards the tail end. The nose area has a stiffer flex thanks to the wider carbon, while the tail area has a softer flex thanks to the thinner, pointed carbon. [ap_show_item 108705] Once the current stock boards are gone, it's unclear when we'll be able to get more... Don't miss out on the PLACEBO "RE-LOADED" which is sure to be a big hit at crowded spots during the peak season!
Learn moreIt's selling well! If you're interested in the 2023 new PLACEBO model "SMOOTH OPERATOR," be sure to get it before it sells out!
The placebo version of LOST's first mid-length model, "SMOOTH OPERATOR," developed by MAYHEM for himself, will be released in 2023! The SMOOTH OPRATOR was developed by MAYHEM so that when he goes surfing with his children, he can go to safe spots with small waves and still enjoy himself even when the waves are small.However, there was a pleasant surprise. The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" was designed to be used in small conditions, but "MAYHEM" and "Oton" have also used it at special spots overseas, and have taken some photo shoots! The PLACEBO "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is made from the eco-friendly new material "DURA-FLEX3", making it incredibly lightweight considering its length and liter capacity, and it also has excellent maneuverability! The DURA-FLEX3 is made from custom-shaped AEROBLANK EPS foam, with three layers of 4+4+6oz on the deck and two layers of 4+6oz on the bottom, hand-glazed with epoxy resin.It is superficially strong and resistant to impacts, but when you step on the surfboard, it gently flexes and helps you pick up speed. [ap_show_item 108699] Of course, as is typical of the PLACEBO brand, the entire surfboard is coated with UV-blocking white paint, which protects it from sunburn almost permanently, making it a long-life surfboard that will stay in good condition for a long period of time, something that would be unthinkable with previous surfboards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9_FJNX4qUU&list=TLGGO5T0RHyAV-gwNzA3MjAyMw&t=4s These have sold so well that stocks of all sizes are running low, so we recommend you make your decision quickly!

Learn moreThe southwesterly winds that have been blowing every day have caused the water temperature in the Chiba area to plummet! Love Surf has high-quality, low-priced wetsuits in stock that you can wear right away!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Unfortunately, the water temperature in the Chiba area has been dropping due to the southwesterly winds that have been blowing every day... Just when the air and water temperatures were finally rising, it was time to use the Jarful again! Don't worry! Love Surf has a lineup of high quality and low priced stock wetsuits! The Cyber "Five Ninths Limited" is a limited edition Love Surf model made possible through a collaboration between Love Surf and Cyber. It uses "4-Way Flex," a material not normally used in stock wetsuits but used in fully custom-made wetsuits, making it lightweight, easy to move in, and highly insulating, with a price and features that will have you asking, "Is this really worth it?" The 2023 model features the new 5/9 Slant Zip System! By shortening the stretch zipper of the "LONG CHEST ZIP" that is popular during the winter season to 5/9, we have succeeded in reducing the stress on the zipper and the thickness around the shoulders, improving paddling and functionality, as well as increasing waterproof performance! There are six sizes to choose from: "M", "ML", "ML-R", "L", "LR", and "XL", so the lineup is suitable for most Japanese people! [ap_show_item 107784] [ap_show_item 107701] [ap_show_item 107643] Love Surf's limited edition Cyber "Five Ninths Limited" model uses a completely different fabric than the wetsuits you see off the shelf at mass retail sporting goods stores! Please try comparing them! You can't beat this quality at this price! For wetsuits, click here!
Learn moreAll are one-of-a-kind! We have some great condition USED boards of popular models in stock!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Today's STORE BLOG will introduce you to the newly arrived used boards from LOST&PLACEBO! [ap_show_item 112274] This is a carefully selected used board from the ``SUB DRIVER 2.0'', which is part of the ``DRIVER'' series that is extremely popular all over the world and is released for small waves. This model can be used from knee-high waves and works even on head-sized waves, making it a great fit for Japanese beach breaks! [ap_show_item 112315] Among LOST Surfboards, this is positioned as a free surf model, but it is so good that it is used in competitions by world-class riders including professional surfer Arashi Murata, and is a carefully selected used board from the RAD RIPPER, which offers such excellent performance surfing. It has excellent paddling performance and gains speed rapidly even after takeoff, which makes it easy to perform actions, which is why it is popular not only with professionals but also with casual surfers. [ap_show_item 112287] The RNF-ULTRA, designed based on LOST Surfbords' classic Round Nose Fish, is a model that offers length while reducing buoyancy, and can be used in waves ranging from knee-high to over-head. Compared to the Round Nose Fish, the rail end is thinner relative to its length, making it easier to get the rail in even in larger waves, allowing for stylish surfing. [ap_show_item 112301] The TABLET model, which was the catalyst that propelled PLACEBO Surfboards to become a major brand, has been redesigned by MAYHEM to target adult surfers over the age of 40, and is now known as the TABLET-REDUX. At first glance, it looks like a standard pointed nose shortboard design, but it has a voluminous design that allows surfers over 40 to easily ride the waves. But! The TABLET-REDUX combines the performance that MAYHEM excels at. The design makes use of buoyancy, so it's great for performance surfing, taking advantage of the high buoyancy! *If you purchase from the Love Surf web store and would like to pick up your surfboard in-store, please write "Pick up in store" in the {order notes} field. *If you pay by credit card or Amazon Pay, we will refund the shipping fee later, so please feel free to shop. *If you wish to pay by bank transfer or in-store, please make the transfer or payment within 5 business days after placing your order.
