Matt MAYHEM Biolos, a designer who served as a test pilot and has been with the device since its inception, has given this model high praise. The name of this model is TABLET-REDUX ! Designed for surfers over 40, the same age as Mayhem, this 2020 edition is a Japan-exclusive model that reflects Mayhem's 30+ years of experience, accumulated shaping skills, and unwavering pursuit of surfboard design. The original "TABLET" model was released in the early 2000s and is also the prototype for the DIABLO series models now made by Lost and Placebo surfboards. It is a world-famous masterpiece that raised the standards for volume and CL values of surfboards around the world, and was the first in the world to propose a category of high-buoyancy shortboards for senior surfers aged 35 and over. It is a legendary model that has had a major impact on surfboard CL values both in Japan and overseas. The latest evolution of this model is the "TABELT-REDUX." This masterpiece will be released as PLACEBO's "TABLET-REDUX" DURA-FLEX in 2020! This masterpiece from MAYHEM has been reborn in the affordable DURA-FLEX format, featuring an evolved, lightning-fast paddle and take-off speed, a simple and clean point nose and squash tail for ease of riding, and the world's first dolphin grab rail at the time.

Learn more2020 NEW MODEL! PLACEBO "LAYZ POTATO" DURA FLEX model explanation released!
2020 NEW model! PLACEBO "LAYZ POTATO" DURA FLEX model explanation released! MAYHEM and Nishii look back at all past PLACEBO surfboard models and select the No. 1 The two of them agreed, and this board is the REDUX model. The performance of the original "LAYZ POTATO" model was based on MAYHE, and it has been made to surpass the previous model. We've recreated it with the latest updates to the shape design and arranged it into a modern version. The outline design has been refined from nose to tail. A long straight section in the center improves driving performance. The tail shape has been changed from a squash tail to a swallow tail to make it easier to change turns. Control performance has been improved. The rails are soft and thin to allow the wide board to move well. The bottom shape is a combination of double concave and vee. The concave, designed specifically for this model, starts at the nose and is deepest in the fin area, giving it good surface gliding and launch performance to the left and right, even in small or powerless waves. The vee section in the end fin area of the tail makes it easy to control in a back stance. The flat center rocker is generous for speed. It is equipped with a dolphin grab rail, which is a convenient design that makes it easy to dolphin through. The wide round nose is ideal for small wave second boards and has good paddling performance. It even allows you to take off from swells before the waves break. This is a board with good maneuverability that can be ridden in short bursts, but it is also a new design that places great emphasis on drive performance. It will be unveiled for the first time at Interstyle, which will be held in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture from February 18th to 20th! The product is scheduled to arrive in April! Please look forward to its release!! Arriving in April, we are now accepting pre-orders! "LAYZ POTATO-REDUX" DURA-FLEX [ap_show_item 40849] Only 2 of these left! This is a limited edition item!

Learn moreFreshly taken photos! Nishii rides it! Check out the photos of the "RNF-ULTRA Black Edition"!
Check out the photos of Nishii surfing yesterday, February 8th, in the Chiba area where the water temperature had dropped. The board I rode was the RNF-ULTRA Black Edition. Finn used this. MACHADO PC/TWIN + STABILIZER The side fins are smaller than the MR TWIN+1. The center fin is large. Therefore, the performance of the fin is closer to that of a TRI fin than an MR fin. The tide was strong and the waves were thick, but inside the RNF-ULTRA Black Edition It is made of stringerless EPS foam, so it remains soft and flexible even when left alone. The exterior is fully covered in carbon fiber, making it hard and durable. This " RNF-ULTRA Black Edition" I would describe it as a board like an egg, with a shell and a soft inside. The RNF-ULTRA Black Edition is scheduled to be released around Golden Week this year! I'm doing great!

The broken nose of Mason Ho's magic board "Rocket Redux" was cut off, The nose of the Mark Richards X Mayhem California Twin that broke a few months ago was transplanted. They created a Frankenstein surfboard that actually works. After repairs, Mason Ho is a surf spot with jagged lava rocks, sea urchins, and even sharks.
