There 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!

I use it myself and it has a very fast paddle speed, making it what you might call a cheating board!
