Nishii's customer service report! If you are considering purchasing a PLAEBO surfboard, please use this as a reference!
Yesterday, I went to help out at the Murasaki Sports Queens Square Yokohama store to help with sales, and I'd like to introduce you to the person who was serving customers there. If you are considering purchasing a PLAEBO surfboard, please take a look as this will be helpful. He is a heavy user who has continued to ride all the previous Presebo models. He has already ridden the 2015 PLACEBO "SHORT ROUND" FLEXLITE-BOOST . This time, he purchased the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO so he could ride bigger waves. Thank you so much for loving the PLACEBO board! This customer had already visited us before and had already consulted with us, The more I learned about PLACEBO and looked into the opinions of people who were already using it, I learned more and more about PLACEBO's reputation and how durable and long-lasting it is. I was told I could purchase it with confidence. The model is the "CQ EL-DIABLO" CANDY. This customer was considering buying a board that was cheaper than the other brand's PLACEBO in the store, but after we explained the benefits of PLACEBO surfboards, he chose the TABLETII FLEXLITE-TURBO. The board was long enough, but had a lot of rocker and was thin, so he was worried that he wasn't getting better, This board is currently on sale and will fit your budget, helping you speed up your progress. He came to the store looking for a new surfboard to ride, and as he was looking at boards from various brands, I served him and gave him a detailed explanation about PLACEBO.He liked the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-CANDY so much that he immediately wanted to ride it, and he bought it, saying that he hadn't intended to buy it before. This is a photo of me watching the final heat of the Shonan Open with the other customers who were there. Nishii's opinion is that this tournament is being held to get Japanese people into the WCT, I really wanted Kaito Ohashi to win, I'm sure everyone in the world would have been happy with that! This was Nishii's customer service report. If you are considering purchasing a PLAEBO surfboard, please use this as a reference!

"ANCHOR" wetsuits now available in chic new colors for middle-aged people! "Ash Black" "Ash Navy." We have added new fabric colors that have never been available before, such as marbled colors. Nishii liked the color, so he immediately bought Seagull and Spring. We immediately asked Cyber Wetsuit, the manufacturer, to make it for us. Segal is all "Ash Black" Spring is all "Ash Navy". Which one would you choose? Of course, you can use it on the entire suit like Nishii, It can also be combined with other standard colors, so please specify when ordering. I immediately put it on and went surfing, and lo and behold! When these two colors get wet, they appear completely black or navy, allowing you to enjoy the color change.

Learn morePerfect for summer! We'll explain how to apply "FU WAX" properly.
The world's best surf wax! Perfect for summer! We'll explain how to apply "FU WAX" properly. If the board and FU WAX are warm, be sure to let them cool before applying. If either one is warm, it won't paint well. *To create the base, first apply "BASE". The Nishii method is to paint carefully and without gaps, like painting a picture, so that no areas are left unpainted with "FU WAX" . Apply FU WAX by pressing it horizontally from the stringer to the rail for about 20 to 25 cm. Once you have applied the FU WAX to the entire board, press it in the same direction vertically for another 20 to 25 cm. If you have been riding a POLY board for a long time, there will be dents and dents. If you try to flatten the dent with "FU WAX" , there will be areas left uncoated. It's a good idea to make the corners slightly sharper as shown in the photo so that the FU WAX can get into the recesses. This is the amount of "BASE" used after applying it vertically and horizontally. Apply approximately 1/4 to 1/5 of the amount to a regular shortboard. This is just the right amount. *As a mid-coat, Apply "TROPICAL" on top of "BASE". It feels like you are applying it thinner than when you apply "BASE". Carefully paint without gaps, as if you were painting a picture, so that no areas are left unpainted. Apply the product by pressing it down about 20-25cm vertically and 20-25cm horizontally. *As a top coat, Apply "WARM" in the same way, but with a thinner layer. If you apply it carefully in both vertical and horizontal directions without leaving any areas unpainted, you can achieve a perfect grip. The finished surface will look something like this. Unlike other surf waxes, please apply it carefully so that it looks like this. Just by looking at it, it looks like it would have a great grip! Unlike previous waxes that only grip horizontally, FU WAX There is no need to create bumps to grip the left and right sides. "FU WAX" is not only suitable for both left and right It's a "3D surf wax" that grips and tucks upwards, Apply the paint carefully and carefully so that no areas are left unpainted. It is common to see people applying wax only to the front foot area and not to the top of the deck grip, but when surfing you may ride on the unwaxed areas, so be sure to apply wax to the entire board, including the nose. If the board is painted all the way up to the nose, your hands won't slip, so when you're waiting for a wave and moving to catch one, you can move quickly.When grabbing the nose rail, there's a big difference between having the board painted and not having it painted, and you'll be able to move better!

Mr. A, You chose PLACEBO's "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" FLEXLITE-CANDY . He had carefully considered various brands and models on our website, and came to our store several times for a thorough consultation. We are very grateful that he chose the trusted PLACEBO surfboard from the countless surfboard brands available! Mr. B, PLACEBO "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He is a 56-year-old private taxi driver whom I previously introduced on this blog. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=31948 He has already ridden it many times and it seems to be in very good condition. There is a lot of demand to switch from the TABLET and TABELT2 models, and all sizes are almost sold out! If you're considering the PLACEBO "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model and want to ride it this summer, be sure to get it soon! This is PLACEBO's best-selling model of 2015, following TABLET2 ! Mr. C said, PLACEBO "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. He came to see the actual board, which he says is faster and easier to take off and paddle than the TABLET2 model , and asked us for advice on which size to get. He likes the blue color, so he chose a LOST deck grip . LOST deck grips are made from the same material as Dakine and Black Line, so we encourage everyone to try out these world-class grips! Mr. D, You chose PLACEBO's "LAYZ-POTATO" FLEXLITE-CANDY . He started surfing last summer on a beginner's 6'6" funboard, and after spending about a year surfing once a week, he mastered paddling and taking off, and was able to glide sideways. He wanted to improve even more with a proper board, and he contacted us for advice, purchasing this stable and easy-to-balance "LAYZ-POTATO" model. He also looks forward to applying the LOST GPIP that matches the design. Mr. E, PLACEBO "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" FLEXLITE-BOOST was selected. I understand that you were considering the "TABLET2" FLEXLITE-TURBO that was released last year. He chose the new model "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" FLEXLITE-BOOST, which is based on the same concept but uses new materials to increase strength and performance. Thank you for putting up stickers in the store. Thank you to everyone who came to our store and chose our many new PLACEBO surfboards!
Learn moreMasato's model carving! New Luvsurf TV: LOST 『SUB-BUGGY』 Masato Yukawa @ CALIFORNIA 2015
Luvsurf TV: LOST “SUB-BUGGY” Masato Yukawa Masato Yukawa @ CALIFORNIA 2015 Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST "SUB-BUGGY" EFC by HydroFlex FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a riding video of Masato, all filmed by Nishii. The surfing makes the most of the characteristics of the EFC by HydroFlex material. Among them, this continuous carving is an example, so please take a good look at it. It's the timing with the waves, but if you look closely, it's not the pocket where the waves are curling, I raise the nose of the board to the part of the wave where the swell is less steep and control it with my back foot. This section where the wave rolls up is the best position for carving. Tilt the rail and make a large movement to maximize the curve, which will send spray flying. Also, follow the correct arm movements in this series of photos. How to swing your left arm and how much force you put on your legs, This is the correct surfing position for a frontside curve turn. The icon of this movie is Masato, and you must see his perfect posture and tail straight up in the air, which he says may be his best ever! The board is great and Masato is skilled, but it's only because he uses "FU WAX" that he can fly so fast and high, as if his feet are attached to the board! By the way, LOST's SUB-BUGGY EFC by HydroFlex looks to be in good condition! [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/133433742[/vimeo]

Mr. A, LOST 5'8" chose "LAYZ POTATO" POLYESTER. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/layz-potato This customer loves riding a board that is the exact same model, size, and specifications as this one, and it's so good that he bought it as a spare board. Nishii also thinks that "LAYZ POTATO" is a masterpiece from MAYHEM that will replace RNF. It's also available at PLACEBO, so don't miss it! Mr. B, LOST 5'8" 『DOS⚡️DIABLO』 EFC by HydroFlex was chosen. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/dos-diablo/dos-diablo "DOS⚡️DIABLO" has received great reviews for surpassing the CONQUEST model. Apparently, a friend had heard about it and had it custom ordered. He ordered it in the same yellow resin color as Masato. The resin color that is applied to the entire board is beautiful and doesn't show any fading from the sun! Mr. C said, LOST 5'10" 『DOS⚡️DIABLO』 He chose EFC by HydroFlex. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/dos-diablo/dos-diablo LOST's "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" was being used well, He wanted to increase his buoyancy a little and ride the waves like he was possessed by the devil (DIABLO), This is a board that was custom ordered from "DOS⚡️DIABLO". The entire board is covered in white resin with a pink and blue finish, which is really cool! Mr. D, LOST 5'10.5" 『DOS⚡️DIABLO』 EFC by HydroFlex was chosen. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/dos-diablo/dos-diablo It's a custom size that's under 6', something I've never ridden before, with reduced buoyancy and width for better movement. In the past, many boards were designed to be longer for faster takeoff, so surfers with a long history of surfing tend to be hesitant to go with shorter lengths, but D understands the benefits of modern board design and made a great choice, both in terms of model and size. On the right, Mr. E. LOST 5'8" 『DOS⚡️DIABLO』 EFC by HydroFlex was chosen. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/dos-diablo/dos-diablo I had been wanting to try out the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO model for a while and it felt great. He placed a custom order for this ``DOS⚡️DIABLO'' at the same time as it was announced. Someone has already ridden the waves, reporting that they were possessed by the devil (DIABLO). It's easy and quick to ride, so be careful not to ride too many waves when it's crowded! On the left, Mr. F. LOST 5'10" 『ROUND UP』 He chose EFC by HydroFlex. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/dos-diablo/dos-diablo The regular board he normally rides is around 5'9", so he had a custom order made so that he could use it in big waves like during typhoons or overseas trips. This is the second EFC by HydroFlex board for this board enthusiast. He had been feeling unwell recently and hadn't been able to surf for a few weeks, but with the typhoon coming, the board he needed was made at just the right time, so he was very happy. Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased so many new surfboards! MAYEHM's cutting edge shape designs make boards float, ride fast and move well. If you haven't tried the LOST & PLACEBO MAYHEM board yet, Be sure to try out a real surfboard that has a clear difference that anyone can feel and is sure to give you a great ride!
