Yesterday we had a test ride in light offshore knee-high waves at Higashinami Beach in Ichinomiya, Chiba Prefecture.
Yesterday we had a test drive event at Higashinami Beach in Ichinomiya, Chiba Prefecture. It was hot like a summer day and light offshore knee-high waves. So many people came to the test drive event that I didn't have time to take photos. "BABY BUGGY" and "DIABLO SPARTAN." The DIABLO SPARTAN was test ridden at 5'9". "BABY BUGGY" is my board. The waves were small, so I recommended a larger size than I usually recommend, and had everyone try it out. Nishii also surfed with everyone for about an hour, but because the waves were small, there were a lot of long boards, it was crowded, and there weren't many waves, so I went for a 5'10" 'GOBLIN' 42cl. So I was able to catch about 10 set waves in an hour. This person said it was their first time riding a PLACEBO, and they usually ride thinner POLY boards. When they got on the 5'9" CONQIUEST EL-DIANBLO , they were amazed at how well it paddled. They were hesitant to ride a board with such buoyancy, but were surprised at how nimble it was and how many waves they could catch. I had him ride the 5'4" SHORT ROUND , but the waves were weak and small. We also had them try out the 5'4" Goblin , but they said it was much easier to ride and they were able to ride it a lot more. "CARBON WRAP" attracted a lot of attention from everyone, and many people took it for a test drive. We received feedback that they were able to experience how the board easily flexes and accelerates even in small waves! Thank you to all the participants and staff for your hard work!

Luvsurf TV: PLACEBO 『SHORT ROUND』Matt “King of Surfing” King Board used: Placebo 5'6" 『SHORT ROUND』 FLEXLITE-BOOST FILM : "T-LOC" Strictly Surf/Anthony Hillerby & Joe Alani. EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM Thank you for waiting everyone! Matt King of Surfing, Kinger's PLACEBO riding video is now available! The video begins with an interview with Kinger, who is excited to hear the instructions from the PLACEBO surfboard and see the board for the first time. Will you ride the "SHORT ROUND" on a TRI or a QUAD? Please take a look at the questions that have been asked. The "SHORT ROUND" is a board that is said to be strong in small waves, but it is also good in barrel waves and Kinger test rode the board in various wave types and sizes to prove that it has the ability to easily ride overhead. I had heard from development rider Shaw Kobayahi that this was a model that performed well in the ocean, so after receiving all four at the same time, this was the first model I rode. Check out the agile performance that surprised Kinger, who had never surfed a quad before! [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/172351641[/vimeo]

Please see the report of the test drive event held yesterday in strong winds at the parking lot in front of the Shonan Kugenuma Underground Passage. It was a huge test ride event where many other brands could be ridden at once, but the LOST & PLACEBO surfboard section was so popular that people lined up before the test ride even started. "GOBLIN" is the center of attention both in stores and at test ride events! "GOBLIN" is also a popular choice at test ride events. It's so popular it needs no explanation! Among the LOST performance line , "DIABLO-SPARTAN" was the most popular! This one is also "DIABLO-SPARTAN" . The DIABLO-SPARTAN is based on the DOS-DIABLO, so its paddling performance is far superior to its appearance. It has a cool pointed nose, but is a high-performance model that is easy to paddle and surf, and is suitable for those with reduced physical strength. Take, a LOST freak and Murasaki team rider, was also test riding a variety of bikes! The PLACEBO "CONQUEST EL-DIBLO" is also popular for test rides, with customers wanting to compare the front and rear sizes before making a final decision on their purchase. The rear board is not a test board, but my own board, the "SHORT ROUND." PLACEBO 『CONQUEST EL-DIBLO』 The 5'9" size, which was added in 2016, also fits many people with the right weight, so The test drives were so popular that people didn't have a turn to ride. The strong winds had flattened the waves, but everyone was trying out lots of different boards. As for how strong the wind was, the boards that were not test-ridden were The wind was so strong that if you took your eyes off it would look like this in an instant. Among the free surfing lines, the "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" was the most popular! This board is suitable for the wave quality in Shonan, so it would be a good idea to try it out at the Shonan test ride event. This is a model that many customers purchase after test drives. These surf gear were a big hit yesterday. "SURF BRUSH" This is a special brush designed and sold by a local man on T-Street in San Clemente, California, to remove sand and dirt from your board, feet, etc. Brushing away sand is surprisingly easy. The brushes are just the right length and hardness, so they're comfortable to use on the board or even on the body, and are soft enough for children to use. Just arrived in time! There are two different lengths of limbs. We would like to thank the test drive participants, manufacturers, and other related parties who enthusiastically took part in the test drive despite the strong winds. Thank you everyone for your hard work!
Learn moreEveryone! Thank you for coming to our store and purchasing so many copies of "GOBLIN"!
Mr. A, PLACEBO 5'8" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He purchased this popular model , the "GOBLIN," because he wanted to ride more waves than anyone else when he went surfing and have fun, with a board that is rumored to have the best buoyancy and paddling performance of any pre-boat! Mr. B, PLACEBO 5'10" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. We took into consideration the feedback from our users on our website, which has a reputation for being durable, long-lasting, and not easily discolored by the sun. Since the PLACEBO is a board designed and shaped by Mayhem, the LOST brand grips that we applied are a perfect match! Mr. C said, PLACEBO 5'10" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He had been riding a longboard up until now, but he really wanted to try riding a shortboard, like the ones he sees in the ocean, where they move nimbly up and down the face of the waves for exhilarating surfing, so after doing some research we decided to have him ride the ``GOBLIN.'' Mr. D, PLACEBO 5'6" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He usually surfs using a thin board, but he has trouble taking off when the waves are small or the power is weak, so he was looking for a board that was not only thick but also agile enough to be easy to ride even in such situations, and he chose the ``GOBLIN'' to ride. Mr. E, PLACEBO 5'6" "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He had been away from surfing for a while and was looking for the right board to get back into surfing. He discovered the Love Surf website and learned about the PLACEBO brand. After researching further and perusing the website, he decided that the "GOBLIN" looked good and came to our shop for advice. Everyone! Thank you for coming to our store and purchasing so many "GOBLIN" copies! We just got it in stock and have all four sizes available now! The Goblin is a wonderfully easy-to-ride and friendly model, so be sure to give it a try! We highly recommend it!
Learn moreIt's amazing! Don't forget the lost "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model!
The waves are getting smaller in the San Clemente area, so the board I used today was the lost "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model. This "LOST PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model is a squash tail version of an older model that went on sale in the USA, but has been refined with a new design for the Japanese wave and Japanese riders. And because it's a Japan-only model, it has a ROCKET tail, so be sure to look for it. Honestly, it's been a while since I last rode it, but it's in great condition! By using the ROCKET tail, the rail length is shortened, improving the board's maneuverability, and when using the wide ``PUDDLE JUMPER-JP'' model for rail work, the rails can be swapped left and right in an interesting way. If you're riding the "PUDDLE JUMPER-JP" model, we definitely recommend the ROCKET tail! The other day, the Okuyamas from Kimmy's, who I lent this board to, told me that they had been riding it at a surf spot called San Onofe that is exclusively for longboards, and that it had been great, so Nishii thought it would be perfect for today's waves, so he brought it out. As you can see in the Mayhem model explanation video , it uses soft redwood stringers, so the short, wide board design flexes well. Make sure you ride it wide enough that you can just barely reach it when holding it under your arm! Finn is On the front is this M size , This M size for the rear I use it in a balanced way. If you are riding small waves with the ``PUDDLE JUMPER-JP'' model, we recommend setting the fins to smaller sizes M or S as they will be more agile. Changing the topic, the hugely popular "SURF GRASS MAT" recently arrived in a larger size L , but Nishii still treasures the original model. It's a durable, high-quality product that can be used for a long time, so if you haven't used it yet, be sure to get one! It will change again. At LOST in San Clemente, Carbon Wrap boards are being produced one after another. They're so popular they can't keep up with production. Nishii is currently overseas, but please contact us here for inquiries about "CARBON WRAP". We've received a lot of inquiries! The new stockboards are ready to ride, so we're currently receiving a lot of inquiries about the right size! Thank you! Riding it will improve your surfing performance, When you come out of the water, you'll be smiling just like this YAGO DORA!
