Actually, there is only one left. PLACEBO 6'6" 'RNF-ULTRA' DURA-FLEX First come, first served!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. We have received many inquiries about the PLACEBO 6'6" RNF-ULTRA. In fact, there is only one last one. Based on the classic "Round Nose Fish," which is already renowned for its paddle speed and take-off performance, the "RNF-ULTRA" offers even faster paddle performance by reducing the CL value while increasing the length. The RNF-ULTRA is not just a model that is fast to paddle and take off. Normally, increasing the length increases the CL value, width, and thickness, but this model is made with a different concept, so unlike mid-length models that are simply larger, it also has the performance characteristics that are characteristic of MAYHEM, which is why it is so popular. The RNF-ULTRA is great for small conditions, but it actually works well in bigger waves too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzBNoBv4Ai0&list=TLGGL3OcuEcA0bcwMjA1MjAyMw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0BuniQI4lM Although it may not be obvious at first glance from the outline of the RNF-ULTRA, the rail ends are quite thin, making it easy to get the rail into even large waves and to make solid turns using the rail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG86rVLhlpU&list=TLGGGP7DJ5VhM1gwMjA1MjAyMw The RNF-ULTRA, created by MAYEHM for adult Japanese surfers who believe that the key to surfing is the size of their maneuvers, is a Japan-exclusive model that allows you to take off easily, cruise gracefully through the waves, and even rip them depending on the conditions, so be sure to give it a try!

Learn moreDid you know? Placebo "RNF-RETRO'18" is a copy board of Nishii's Magic Board!
This is the board that Nishii, who is currently staying in CALIFORNIA, is riding at Baby Rote! This is the ``RNF-RETRO'18'' model! You'll understand if you actually hold this board. It has a retro outline and all sizes are short with a large CL value. The rails are so thin that you wouldn't imagine it from the high CL value! We'll explain why! The first prototype board for this model was This model is based on the original "RNF-RETRO" released by LOST in 2018. https://www.instagram.com/p/BleueNOhVmn/ Further developments from the original Master Board Templet design It's a clone of Nishii's Magic Board with a modified rail design. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ZTfroD4w6/ Since 2018, Nishii has posted numerous of these on his personal Instagram and Facebook. This magic board is a copy of the magic board with a black and gray camouflage color design. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5f4hHDaxx/ We would like to inform you that the rail design is different from the original "RNF-RETRO" model sold as a stock board by LOST. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdFSy_VPz5C/ This black and gray camouflage color design of the LOST "RNF-RETRO" https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfr4r7Ph32w/ It's truly a magic among magic boards, so I don't want it to break and become unridable. It's a board that I've kept carefully and only rode on special occasions. However, if I make it a PLACEBO, I think I can ride it semi-permanently. I asked MAYHEM to make it DURA FLEX3, and the result is the ``RNF-RETRO'18''! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfr4r7Ph32w/ After Nishii rode two boards sold at LOST stock boards, https://www.instagram.com/p/BmZ1w2uhZ6u/ I personally requested changes to the rail shape when I ordered a custom rail from MAYHEM, and this is what I got. The rail shape of the board is much thinner than normal. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4RCeEiDNij/ It cuts through the waves like a knife, moving sharply and reacting quickly. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1szSnfjjiz/ It's capable of performance surfing that you wouldn't expect from its retro appearance! https://www.instagram.com/p/CoRgtU8PI4y/ Nishii has repeatedly posted on social media that he is a "wolf in sheep's clothing." https://www.instagram.com/p/B1lUOYqjT_f/ Please come and experience the magic for yourself. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/product/108652/ Come and be enchanted by the magic!

Learn moreReporting from California! I rode the PLACEBO RAD DIABLO 2.0 Flex-Lite Ultimate 5!
My name is Nishii and I am currently staying in California. It was a record-breaking spring season in California with continuous small waves. Finally, the waves came up today. They were overhead, but finally, the waves came out! That's how it is. Since the waves were small until now, I used the PLACEBO RNF-SNAPPER Flex-Lite Ultimate 5. I was riding it, but the size went up so I chose the ``RAD DIABLO 2.0''! RAD DIABLO 2.0 has been updated to the new Flex-Lite Ultimate 5. Compared to the 4, the flex has changed, the initial acceleration has improved, and the response has also improved! Today, I was always pulling out, even in the hollow, powerful, close-out curl section of the wave. When I hit the board, the flex was soft and the board was sticky on the curl, which was amazing! I felt that way! The new Flex-Lite Ultimate 5 is clearly better! Please come and experience it for yourself!

Of course, "FLEXLITE" and "DURA-FLEX," which have been researched and developed over many years, are stiff and strong on the surface, but they flex easily as you ride the wave and step into them, allowing even surfers with weak leg strength to easily surf at high speeds. PLACEBO Surfboards are extremely durable and provide semi-permanent sun protection, so it's great to know you can keep them looking nice for a long time! There are only 5 days left of the PLACEBO Spring Fair, which comes with great benefits, so don't miss out! * Please write your desired gift in the { Order Notes } field. ( If the item is out of stock, we may not be able to provide the gift you requested. ) * 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.

Last Saturday, Held at 54th Street in Newport Beach Boardriders West Coast Regional Qualifiers I was shooting the WCBR contest. This is a surfing contest featuring teams from four cities: San Clemente, Laguna, Dana Point, and Newport Beach. It's a contest where four selected surfers from each decade (ages 10-50) surf for an hour and compete for the highest total score. Matt Archibald, Chris Ward, Jeff Booth, Pad O'Connell and other famous players from the past are appearing. Even though he was bald and had a big belly, he was still good at surfing and it was fun. These videos will be posted on YouTube, so if you want to see them, please look forward to it.
