Check out the photo of Nishii riding the fully redesigned PLACEBO ZEKE model.
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!!

You can set fins on the PLACEBO ZEKE model like this! ZEKE is the board that can help you . - The " GOBLIN " series has undergone a complete model change, resulting in improved overall performance. - The best paddle and takeoff performance in the series. -Five different fin settings are possible. A new chapter begins in the history of the PLACEBO "GOBLIN" series, which has been adjusted down to the smallest detail, including the overall shape of the board. The ultimate paddle performance in the series. Enjoy the genuine, explosive takeoff and drive performance with five different fin settings. * With a single fin, you can draw a single elegant track, *Single + 2 fins: Cruise & Rip, *Twin fins are loose and light, *Twin + 1 fin has a tight lip, *Tri-fins allow for tricky rips and turns. FCS II PERFORMER PC LONGBOARD CENTER FIN *If you are riding with tri-fins, we recommend this ``PERFOMER fin'' for the center box. The price is ¥10,000. Coming soon. Please use the FCSII fins you are currently using on the front two fins. FCS LONGBOARD BOX ADAPTER *FCSII fins cannot be used with the single fin box, so please use this adapter. Use two pairs of FCS fins. The price is ¥2,900. Coming soon. The center fin box of the ZEKE model can use the same fins as the single box on long boards. As a result of the test, we recommend the "FCS II" KAI SALLAS 6.5 for both single fin and single fin +2. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/78259/ This FCS single fin can be easily slid on and off without tools, even while waiting for waves in the ocean. If the single fin is positioned forward, the board will move more smoothly and its maneuverability will improve. When you move it back, the turn becomes longer and you can drive it. Enjoy.

Learn moreWhat fins did Mason install on the new 2019 model LOST "MAYSYM"?
Mason Ho released We'd like to introduce the fins attached to the new 2019 model LOST "MAYSYM"! On the heel side (round tail side), Two small trailer fins (center fin foils) from the MR TWIN+1 are placed side by side, On the toe side (rocket tail side), On the front, I used a MAYHEM fin (side fin foil) in size L. It seems that a MAYHEM fin size M (side fin foil) was installed in the QUAD rear fin position. When turning with the tail on the toe side, drive and speed are gained, When you do an air on the heel side, the size of the fin doesn't get in the way and you can launch higher, which seems to be great!! It seems that he can do not only AIR but also slides, curves and lips without any problems! If you are considering riding the LOST "MAYSYM", please keep this fin setting in mind. There is no rule that says that fins must be used for this board, so Why not try out different fin combinations and attach them to your board? Even if your fins and tails aren't symmetrical, it's surprisingly not a problem for surfing and it's still fun!
