Check it out! The resin-colored "RAD RIPPER" from California has arrived at Love Surf!
"RAD RIPPER" was released last year. Its popularity has not waned to this day, with stock boards rarely available and most customers pre-ordering and purchasing without even seeing the actual product. However, Love Surf has just received a new shipment of resin-colored stock boards from California! Released as an international model in 2019, the RAD RIPPER captured the hearts of many surfers and became the best-selling model in the world in 2019, out of all brands and models around the world! The RAD RIPPER has been praised by most surfers who have ridden it, and it's such an amazing model that many people have bought it again in the same size because it's so good! https://vimeo.com/525447743 The RAD RIPPER was created by world-class top shaper and surfboard designer MAYHEM, who perfectly fused 80's designs such as staple rails, flat decks, and beaked noses with cutting-edge surfboard design to create a user-friendly model that has been praised by professional surfers and casual surfers alike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9aVkWnV3i0 The most outstanding feature of the RAD RIPPER is its speed. It allows anyone to paddle steadily, and the paddle is efficiently transmitted to the surfboard and the wave, allowing for quick and stable takeoff, which gives the user more room to maneuver and take them to the next level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELWfTvUW6z0&t=85s https://vimeo.com/434546167 The resin color of the "RAD RIPPER" that has just arrived is "Matte Half Opaque," which has not been available before. It has an industrial flavor and the matte finish is cool and likely to become a trend in the future! Perfect for surfers who want to stand out from the crowd and value originality!

Learn moreSwiss Made! The H4 fins will take surfers to the next level! Only a few left!
The previously released H2 and H3 fins also had unique designs that set them apart from other fins, but the H4's design, combination of two different templates, and sophisticated Swiss engineering all combine to create a fin that combines unprecedented speed and control. The side fins create maximum acceleration at the bottom of the fin, while the axe-shaped tip provides stability and control. The center fin has a large, raked, nearly oval outline that reduces water turbulence behind the fin while providing excellent release performance. The H4 is designed based on fluid dynamics to maximize speed, drive and control, taking the player to the next level. Even beginners will find it easier to gain speed with these fins than with traditional fins, and intermediate and advanced surfers will gain greater balance and control, providing great benefits to both the surfboard and the rider. The H4 Quad Fin adds speed and drive to the power and control of the H4 Thruster. The quad set consists of two rear fins designed to work in conjunction with medium and large side fins. Filipe Toledo used this board on the waves at Newcastle where the CT was held recently, and showed off some impressive riding!

The "PARTY CRASHER," which was released last year as the second addition to LOST's performance mid-length series and was sold out, is now back in stock in new colors! The resin color used this time is a matte resin color called half opaque! This new resin color is a must-see! It's sure to appeal to stylish adult surfers! It looks great! "PARTY CRASHER" allows older surfers over 45 to compete on equal terms with energetic kid surfers even at crowded spots! No, no, it's a crowd-killing design that was designed with the concept of being able to ride the waves on equal terms or better! Compared to a standard shortboard, the longer and thicker design makes it easier to catch waves at the swell stage, which was previously impossible, and allows you to ride more waves with less effort! Mid-length boards are trending now, but I hear a lot of genuine shortboarders say that mid-length boards (7-8cm) are too heavy and not fun at all... The mid-length PARTY CRASHER created by MAYHEM is a big seller because it combines the performance and maneuverability that are characteristic of LOST, satisfying true shortboarders! If you actually see a surfer riding the PARTY CRASHER in the ocean, it's obvious! He was able to ride the waves more easily than ever before, creating actions that were just like a performance board, and he was always smiling! https://vimeo.com/525846054 Are there any of you who, due to declining physical strength with age or being unable to go to the beach as often, spend most of your time waiting for waves to come in and don't get to ride many waves? Are there any of you who are forcing yourself to buy a surfboard because you like the look of a slim, thin board? It would be a waste to just float away when you're spending your precious holiday time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90nVodFRBI0 We highly recommend the "PARTY CRASHER," a mature performance mid-length shoe from "LOST" that looks cool and feels great!

Introducing WAX TRAK, a stylish and convenient item from San Clemente, California, a city that continues to lead the surf scene! By sticking "WAX TRAK" to your surfboard, you can wax it up in style! [How to use] 1. Attach the sheet to the front of a clean board. *The sheet has many tiny holes that prevent air from getting in, making it easy for anyone to apply. 2. Once the sheet is attached, lightly apply a top coat of wax on top. The waxing is completed in no time! Note: Although the manufacturer states that no base coat is required, I highly recommend using a base coat. In any case, it is better to apply a base coat first and then a top coat. It is economical because it reduces the amount of TOP used. This is because the most important thing, grip, is clearly improved. "WAX TRAK" comes in three different designs, and you can create a stylish design just by lightly applying wax, which is great! If you want to change the wax after using it a few dozen times, you can easily remove the wax by peeling off the sheet, and it will be restored to its beautiful condition in no time. [ap_show_item 9416] I highly recommend the addictive "WAX TRAK" - once you start using it you won't be able to stop! https://vimeo.com/525846054

Learn moreThere are only a few of the mid-fish model "RNF-ULTRA" left, which can be used in small waves to larger waves!
There are only a few left of the popular RNF-ULTRA model among stylish adult surfers! The RNF-ULTRA is a redesign of the classic Round Nose Fish, which made MAYHEM famous among surfers around the world, into a luxurious model that allows cool older surfers to cruise with ease, ride the wave to the very end, and even rip in rippable sections where they can get in some action. The RNF-ULTRA is a model that has a longer length than the base Round Nose Fish, with almost no change in the liter value. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG86rVLhlpU By increasing the length of the surfboard, the already well-established paddle speed and take-off have been further increased, allowing you to take off safely and with ease even in large wave conditions, and you can gracefully ride the wave all the way to the inside with a large, relaxed line. You can also do the dolphin-through that everyone is curious about without any problems! The nose area is wide, but it's not thick, so you can sink the nose in without any discomfort! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA1PgoIdk_Q I'm interested in the mid-length trend, but... It's too long for a shortboarder, the weight of the surfboard itself is heavy, and even after catching a wave, the movement is too sluggish and not fun at all... The RNF-ULTRA is a must-ride for surfers who think like this! For a model description of the "RNF-ULTRA", please click here!
Learn moreWe've been getting a lot of inquiries about the PLACEBO RNF-ULTRA, so here are our impressions!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. These are my impressions after riding the popular mid-fish model PLACEBO "RNF-ULTRA" from POLY the other day, so if you're interested, be sure to check it out! The conditions at Kamo River when we entered the water on the day were a little strong offshore from the side. The set was waist-to-chest high, and the shape was good, but there were a lot of longboards at the peak of the outbound wave. The waves were a little fast, but if you chose well, they were well-shaped and had action, making them perfect for short rides! For the fin setting, we used the standard ``MR/TWIN STAB'' for the ``Round Nose Fish'' series. I am 168cm and 65kg and the size of the PLACEBO RNF-ULTRA DURA-FLEX I used is 30.0CL, 5'10" x 20.0 x 2.32. I usually use a performance model in size 27-28CL, and a high-buoyancy model with a shorter length in size 30-32CL. The first thing I noticed when paddling out was that the PLACEBO had more buoyancy than its liter value would suggest, and it felt stable, with fast and easy paddle speeds. The conditions were a little fast, but the RNF-ULTRA has a fast paddle speed, so I was able to take off with ease, which gave me a big advantage over the surfers around me! What surprised me the most was the straight-line performance and sense of speed after takeoff! As it is advertised as a mid-fish model, it moved forward regardless of the waves that had lost their shoulder and were returning to their original shape, and even took me to the section where the board broke again on the inside! Because it has a strong tendency to go straight, it is difficult to achieve the quick, high performance of a performance model, but by bringing your back foot to the tail end, it is possible to perform actions like a shortboard. People looking to get into the RNF-ULTRA often ask me, "Can I dolphin through it?" The overall design is thin considering its length, and the volume isn't concentrated in the nose area, so you can dolphin through it with ease! The RNF-ULTRA is a refined version of the classic Round Nose Fish, created by MAYHEM and which shocked shapers and surfers around the world at the time.The Mid Fish is designed to allow adult surfers over 40 to surf gracefully and with large lines. *Of course, the riding photos were taken by Pro Nishii! https://vimeo.com/328687397 Its unique feature is that it maintains the foundation of the already established "Round Nose Fish" surfboard design, and increases the length without increasing the liter value. This is recommended for surfers who don't want to make quick movements and want to surf calmly with a big line! For a description of the PLACEBO "RNF-ULTRA" DURA-FLEX model, click here!
Learn moreThank you everyone for coming to our store and purchasing so many new PLACEBO DURA-FLEX surfboards!
Mr. A, You chose PLACEBO "RE-LOADED" DURA-FLEX. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/905/ He had been riding shortboards for a long time, but due to his age and weight gain and declining physical strength, he gradually increased the size of his board. This time, he decided to take the plunge and get a 6'4" RE-LOADED just for fun. He said he felt like he'd finally gotten rid of something that had been bothering him for a long time. Mr. B, You chose PLACEBO "RE-LOADED" DURA-FLEX. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/905/ He had been riding mainly slim, high-performance boards, but he wanted a board that would run well even on small waves, take off quickly, and be easy to ride, so he purchased the RE-LOADED 6'4. Mr. C said, You have chosen PLACEBO's "RNF-ULTRA" DURA-FLEX. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/65018/ When he purchased the MR CA TWIN last time, he was debating whether to get the RNF-ULTRA POLY or MR, but when he heard that it was released at PLACEBO, he came to our store to see it in person. The 5'10" size he had considered last time was also available, so he immediately purchased it. Mr. D, You have chosen PLACEBO's "TABLET REDUX" DURA-FLEX. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/40829/ He hadn't been riding for about a year and a half, so he came to our store looking for the board he had purchased last time. We recommended the 5'10" TABLET REDUX, which has a good balance of length and slightly more buoyancy, but also provides a good sense of control. Mr. E, You have chosen PLACEBO's "RNF-ULTRA" DURA-FLEX. https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/65018/ He had been considering the same model of LOST resin color board for some time, and now that the same model has been released by PLACEBO, he came to the store excitedly saying, "I'm so happy that Love Surf released this just for me!" He's busy with work so he doesn't get to go to the beach often, but when he does, he wants to catch lots of waves, so he's enjoying the larger 6'6" size and the mid-fish performance of this model. Everyone! Come visit us! Lots! Thank you for purchasing the new PLACEBO Surfboard DURA-FLEX!
