If you've had trouble with sponge boards, we recommend the soft top board PLACEBO "ORCA," which uses EPS foam for the center stringer inside!
The soft-top PLACEBO "ORCA" board, perfect for seasoned surfers, is running low. We're announcing this as we expect some sizes to sell out before summer arrives. Due to the global trend, various softboards have been released by various brands for the 2020 season, but are you really satisfied with them after using them? Have you ever bought a board that is flooding the market and is being sold at a low price, and it gets water in as soon as you use it, making it heavy and flooding the inside of your car after use, but then after using it a few times, it just sits in the back of your garage? You won't feel that way with PLACEBO's ORCA! The EPS center stringer foam is shaped, two layers of cloth are glassed with epoxy resin, a thin layer of bamboo is attached on top of that, and a soft top is attached on top of that.This is a completely different structure from a typical sponge board, and the strength and quality of the surfboard are greatly different. The key to riding the PLACEBO ORCA Soft Top & Hard Bottom well is to load the board firmly and ride on a wide line. This will allow you to make large, graceful turns. When you want to rip, step on the tail and put weight on your hind legs to move lightly. [ap_show_item 2883] The fin system uses the standard FCS II plug, so you can use your existing FCS II as is, but for children and beginners, we recommend the above FCS II "SAFETY SOFTFLEX". These soft fins are soft and safe, yet offer excellent control and responsiveness for a satisfying ride. The deck is covered with PVC rubber, which not only absorbs shock, but also provides a firm grip when wet, so no wax is required. It has a very fast take-off and once you take off, you can easily pick up speed, giving you more room to try things you don't normally do, like switch stances and nose rides!

Learn moreMason Ho surfs Backdoor on the mini 4'9" Rad Ripper!
Just like there are miniature sweets, I thought it would be nice to have miniature surfboards. I called Mayhem and requested the completed 4'9" "Rad Ripper" ! Mason Ho is a miniature 4'9" Rad Ripper. I surfed the back door! Even at the usual dangerous reef breaks They seem to be having fun riding it! It is difficult to ride big waves on a board with little buoyancy without the necessary skills. Mason Ho is amazing! He makes big waves with ease! The original design is well-balanced, so it's a mini size like this. It's possible to surf the back door! It's sure to become one of LOST's most popular surfboards. I highly recommend the "RAD RIPPER" model!!! I'm feeling really good! Please ride with the appropriate size!!! https://youtu.be/lwQag9bTw1E Please feel free to contact us before purchasing if you have any questions about the dimensions (size) of the "RAD RIPPER" model. Please contact us by phone at 03-3732-5532 or by filling out this inquiry form . Please feel free to contact us, we will provide you with courteous and friendly service to ensure your satisfaction!

Learn moreNew Arrival! With the PLACEBO "ZEKE2.0" you can have fun surfing even on small waves!
The new 2020 PLACEBO model "ZEKE2.0" has arrived. The previous model, "ZEKE," was an excellent model with lightning-fast takeoff and paddle performance and nimble maneuverability, but the latest model, "ZEKE2.0," has been updated to offer even greater performance. The board has five fins so that riders can choose between tri, quad, and twin stabilizer depending on their preference and the conditions. Compared to the previous model, a slight amount of buoyancy has been added to the nose to increase takeoff speed by paddling with a more forward-heavy center of gravity when taking off. Once you stand up, you can shift your center of gravity to your back foot on the two-channel part mounted on the bottom end, giving you a turbocharged acceleration experience. With the ZEKE2.0, you can have a blast even in small, weak waves! With the help of the surfboard, the movement is sharper and lighter than you would imagine from the outline or liter value, allowing you to ride at your best with less effort. For the ZEKE2.0, please choose a board that is shorter and has more buoyancy than the surfboard you normally use. The spoon-shaped deep single concave makes the surfboard float, and its short length means it has a small turning radius and is easy to maneuver, making it particularly suitable for small waves, but once you get used to it, it can also be used in larger waves. This is a model that we would recommend to anyone who has struggled with riding only thin, narrow high-performance boards with point noses, or who is hesitant to ride surfboards with a lot of buoyancy! Anyone who rides a high-buoyancy surfboard made by MAYHEM for the first time is amazed. Not only does it make paddling easier and take-off faster, but it also satisfies the rider with a light and nimble movement that is unexpected given its CL value. Many users have said that they bought it as a second board, but it worked so well that they no longer used their main board, or that they wish they had started riding it sooner! It's a model that makes surfing that much fun! [ap_show_item 40952] [ap_show_item 40945]
Learn moreLOST "MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY" products are arriving in stores one after another and are being sent to users one after another!
Four models from LOST's "MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY" series have received a tremendous response. As items arrive and sell out, some sizes have sold out and we have received many pre-orders, for which we apologize. At a time like this, it makes me even happier than usual to see customers leaving with a smile on their face after purchasing a new surfboard. Our factory is working at a rapid pace to bring smiles to the faces of our customers who have been waiting, so please wait a little longer. This time we will introduce "SWORD FISH" from the four models that have arrived early. The SWORD FISH was designed at the request of CT surfer Kolohe Andino. The SWORD FISH is an updated version of the RNF-RETRO 5'6", which Kolohe Andino liked to use in the small waves of his home beach, Trestles. The board is longer, has a pointed nose, and has a slightly stronger rocker, making it more aggressive and suitable for use in contests. Not only Kolohe Andino, but also Nate Ijomans, Corey Lopez, and Pro Nishii are all big fans of this model. What we all have in common is that we all love RNF-RETRO. Definitely recommended for fans of RNF-RETRO! This new model is a must-have for fish lovers who want to surf powerfully and aggressively like the Kolohe Andino! https://www.instagram.com/p/B7b9lGNHD5a/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link [ap_show_item 45495]
