Luvsurf TV: LOST “EVIL TWIN-JP” Masto Yukawa Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST 5'7" 『EVIL TWIN-JP』 Polyester Film & Edit: Junichiro Harada. This is a riding video of Masato Yukawa riding the new 2019 model, EVIL TWIN-JP. The EVIL TWIN-JP has FCSII front side fins. The center fin is equipped with a single fin box. This is a fin configuration called "single plus two." "Masato" is The front side fins are in the FCSII fin position. Two small size side fin foils are attached. A 5.5 inch single fin is attached to the center. Masato was provided with a lot of fins by FCS Japan, After trying out various combinations, this fin setting was found to be the best. The single fin in the center provides stability even in deep barrels where you might get caught up. Carving with this fin setting also seems to be very comfortable. Even when the tail is removed, the center single fin is long, so it catches the top of the wave well. He also easily executes his signature frontside air reverse. The highlight is this front side nose grab air at the end! Not only is this a difficult move, but it's also one that you rarely see surfers perform. The MAYHEM board with a fin configuration called "Single Plus Two" There will be more in the future, so please use the fin settings for "Masato" as a reference in the future. The EVIL TWIN-JP model stockboard is something he's been riding a lot lately. Full stock will begin arriving in April 2019, so stay tuned! Now, please take a look at Masato's riding video!

Learn moreFirst ride! Who will be riding the new PLACEBO "ZEKE" model that's the talk of the town with its MR twin board and one fin?
Love Surf amateur, office worker, and team rider Hiroki Shirakawa Check out the photos of me riding the much talked about 2019 new model PLACEBO " ZEKE " FLEXLITE-LIMITED. These photos were taken at Chiba Minami Marquis on a super crowded Sunday. All riding is done with "MR Twin" + "1" fins. This is the "MR Twin" with two front wheels. Use this adapter for the center box, This MR TFX CENTER FIN/small FCS is installed. Use this adapter to attach it to the center box. This adapter is originally made to be quite tight, so when inserting the FCS fins, you will need to push them in firmly. If you want to make it easier to insert and remove the fins, you can sand down both fins a little to make them easier to use. Hiroki rides a board size of 5'5". The first shipment of 5'5" size sold out immediately after it arrived, Both the FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE and FLEXLITE-LIMITED are scheduled to arrive in mid-April. We accept reservations, so if you would like to make a reservation, please call us at 03-3732-5532 or https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact.html Please feel free to contact us here. If you look at these photos, you can see that ZEKE is fast and in good condition! Nishii watched as "Hiroki" and "ZEKE" looked sharper than usual on the backside! MAYHEM has once again created an amazing new masterpiece with "ZEKE" !

Check out the photos of Nishii riding the PLACEBO 5'5" ZEKE FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE, which underwent a full model change in 2019. Finn recommends this as his first recommendation for those looking to ride the ZEKE . "Single + 2" fin setting. This and, 『FCS II』KAI SALLAS 6.5 This is the combination! Quad rear fin "CARVER" If you set the single fin at the very back of the box! When lipping, the single fin becomes the center, The small sides reduce resistance, and by stepping firmly on the back foot, the tail is supported at one point. You can swing the board up and down like a sword! The board moves quickly and sharply, allowing for an exhilarating lip! The waves were big enough that day. You could ride them even without the ZEKE model, which is designed for small or powerless waves, but the ZEKE was able to stand up from the swell even in fast overhead waves that dug in, so I realized that I could take one action before the wave broke, something that's not possible with a standard tri-fin board for competitions. We have just received the item, but if you have made a reservation, I think some of you have already ridden it on the weekend yesterday or the day before yesterday. I hope you were able to experience the greatness of the "ZEKE" model! If you're a heavy PLACEBO user, we encourage you to try out the fully redesigned ZEKE ! ZEKE is great because it moves as sharply as a sword and makes you feel like a samurai!!
