A 10-minute boat trip to the island called Island, located on the left side of Cloud 9 facing the sea.
It's the second day of our stay at Cloud 9 on Sigao Island in the Philippines. This morning, the waves were onshore, so we headed towards Cloud 9 and took a 10-minute board trip to an island called Island, located on the left side, to go surfing. The waves here are not so good because it is onshore, I can surf in tropical environments in board shorts. This time, I was invited by Sky Brown. She is currently participating in a training program with these young teenage professional surfers. There is an age difference of about 40 years between Nishii and me, so Nishii is exhausted every time.
Learn morePre-orders are finally starting! We are now accepting pre-orders for the next shipment of PLACEBO Surfboards, which have been receiving endless inquiries!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. PLACEBO Surfboards are as popular as ever, and we're constantly getting inquiries like "Do you have any in stock?" and "When will the next shipment arrive?" Reservations are finally starting for all sold-out models and sizes! PLACEBO Surfboards, which launched in 2005, are surfboards with reliable shape designs by MAYHEM, who won No. 1 in the 2023 WSL Shaper Rankings, far ahead of the second place winner. PLACEBO Surfboards do not discolor in the sun, are very durable, and can be ridden for a long time in good condition, something that is unthinkable with Polyester surfboards. What's more, PLACEBO Surfboards are not only durable and easy to handle, but they also flex smoothly on the waves, which is an important aspect of surfboard performance, and they have excellent performance and speed, which is the reason for their enduring popularity! The last time we had stock, many people purchased them, and most models and sizes were quickly sold out. It's selling well because it has received very positive reviews from surfers who have ridden it! When you combine the surfboard design by the No. 1 shaper "MAYHEM" with the one and only materials "FLEXLITE" and "DURAFLEX", you can't go wrong! That was a long introduction, but the pre-orders for "PLACEBO Surfboards" are now open... Today, December 22nd (Friday) from 8:00 PM Let's get started! * Coming soon, guaranteed to be picked up or shipped by the end of the year! If you make a reservation, you can ride it during the New Year holidays! *We will ship your order in the order in which it was received. Again, we receive many inquiries such as "Do you have it in stock?" and "When will the next shipment arrive?" We expect that many sizes and models in this shipment will sell out immediately. If you miss this chance, the next shipment will be after spring. If you want to be sure to get one, be sure to make a reservation! Get your hands on some new PLACEBO Surfboards this year-end and New Year's and stand out from the other surfers! To reserve the "RNF-SNAPPER", click here! To pre-order "RAD DIABLO 2.0" click here!

Learn moreThe water temperature is dropping rapidly, isn't it? Please change your "FU WAX"!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Due to the southwesterly winds that have been blowing every day, the water temperature in the Chiba area is dropping rapidly! Please change the look of "FU WAX"! Unlike other surf waxes, FU WAX boasts 3D grip performance, but if you don't use it according to the water temperature at the time, its incredible grip will be lost! FU WAX is the world's best surf wax, trusted and used by everyone from professional surfers whose lives depend on the results of contests to weekend surfers who want to make the best possible ride on their important days off. FU WAXER is used by an incredible number of surfers, including world champion Filipe Toledo, the still-active and legendary Kelly Slater, and Kanoa Igarashi, the only Japanese elite tour surfer! There are even many secret "FU WAXERS" who are contracted with other wax brands but actually use "FU WAX"! FU WAX, which is gaining more and more addicts every year, is handmade one by one by FU in Brazil using a top-secret recipe. Other brands of wax require a lot of time and effort to cover up the weak grip, and you have to apply a lot of it to create unevenness! "FUWAX" is different! Make sure to spread it evenly, not in a way that creates bumps! Just apply a thin layer all over the surface and it gives great grip, so it's actually economical and eco-friendly! [ap_show_item 11799] [ap_show_item 117251] [ap_show_item 117241] [ap_show_item 117169] "FU WAX" is a worldwide best-seller, so be sure to purchase it from authorized dealers such as Love Surf! I found a fake on an auction site or other flea market site! It's hard to tell just by looking at the packaging, but the important grip strength is completely incomparable to the genuine product, so please be careful!
