First reveal! Check out PLACEBO's new model "DIABLO PLUS" FLEXLITE-HYPER! This is a Japan-exclusive model designed specifically for paddle and takeoff performance, with Japanese wave conditions and users in mind. ■Features of PLACEBO "DIABLO-PLUS" - Recommended for weekend surfers and those over 40. - Paddle and take-off performance has been further improved from the previous model. -Improved control allows for more freedom of movement and faster running. - Comes with a dolphin grab rail for easy dolphin use. ・For beginners to advanced users. ・Knee to overhead size recommended. " Radiator-2 Channels " for even faster speeds The latest Diablo game featuring the traditional "elevator wing"! ■ PLACEBO "DIABLO・PLUS" model explanation This is the latest evolution of Mayhem's Japan-exclusive series, which continues from the TABLET. The outline and rocker design of the previous model, the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO, is inherited, and the Radiator-2 Channels, which Mayhem developed over time with their team riders, are installed in the bottom, allowing the paddle to move further forward than the previous model, allowing for higher-speed surfing. Furthermore, it also features the traditional "elevator wing" of the Japan-exclusive model, making for the ultimate combination design. The traditional "elevator wing," which was temporarily absent from the "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" model, has been reinstated in the "Diablo Plus" thanks to the inclusion of "R-2 Channels." The "R-2 Channels" improve forward propulsion performance, and the addition of the "elevator wing" makes it faster and easier to move up and down the rails, further enhancing maneuverability. The "plus" in the model name represents the improvement in both speed and maneuverability over the previous model. Enjoy the "Diablo Plus," an unprecedented Japan-limited model with a cool shape and advanced functionality. 5' 8" x 19.75" x 2.38" (173 x 50.1 x 6.0 cm) Beginner ~55kg Intermediate 55~60kg Advanced 60~65kg 29.01cl 5'10” x 20.00” x 2.50” (178 x 50.8 x 6.35cm) Beginner ~ 60kg Intermediate 60~65kg Advanced 66~72kg 31.5cl 6' 0” x 20.38” x 2.62” (183 x 51.8 x 6.65cm) Beginner ~ 68kg Intermediate 68~72kg Advanced 73~78kg 34.5cl 6' 2” x 20.63” x 2.75” (188 x 52.4 x 7.0 cm) Beginner ~72kg Intermediate 72~77kg Advanced 78~83kg 38.0cl ¥138,000 (excluding tax) / ¥149,040 (including tax) FCS II 5-fin specification (fins sold separately) The web store is here! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/55256/ In-store!

The ultimate FLEXLITE board is born, achieving the strongest flex ever in a pre-pressure board! Targets all waves! Equipped with two lines of hyper carbon, it has high performance that exceeds BOOST! "FLEXLITE-HYPER" The basic Flexlite technology has evolved, further enhancing the three appealing aspects of this surfboard: design, performance, and durability. In order to surpass the performance of the previous model BOOST, the carbon has been made thicker and the springback (rebound) has been strengthened, while the internal EPS core and the PVC sheet covering it have been revised to maintain flexibility and improve the flex performance, allowing you to fit the waves and gain speed. The two hyper carbon rods mounted radially from the tip of the nose to the tail are closely spaced at the nose, which instantly holds the board and helps it move forward when the front stance is placed on the board. Not only does the board flex deeply like a bow and arrow, allowing anyone to surf with an explosive, rebounding acceleration, but the superior technology of the FLEXLITE-HYPER also provides additional speed with extra springback from the backfoot, which has no carbon at the bottom tip like a sword. The Hyper Carbon design separates the front and back foot sections to optimize flex throughout the board. While the entire board flexes and rebounds, the tail flexes once more, giving you speed and a responsive ride - an outstanding performance unique to the FLEXLITE-HYPER. Riding Precebo's FLEXLITE-HYPER is a very clever choice, as it has good flex performance, excellent durability, and can be ridden for a long time without discoloration. The acceleration of the FLEXLITE-HYPER allows you to pick up speed, control the board as you wish, and enjoy a session with a sense of freedom. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/203270823[/vimeo]

"Usher Wals" The black swallowtail board he is riding is apparently a SUB-SCORCHER2 model. Dylan South's boards. It seems that CARBON WRAP has now become an essential item for the team. "Carissa Moore." The girl in the middle is her cute younger sister, Kayla Moore. Looks like fun for brothers! This is a full-color old RNF model drawn by a graphic designer called SPOT. I often see posts on Instagram about people saving RNFs. It seems like people are saving their masterpieces. This year's new model, the "ROUND NOSE FISH REDUX" model, is sure to be popular! The popular LOST "CARBON WRAP" is ridden by This is Havanna Elina, a team rider from Puerto Rico. This is a gunboard from Kolohe Andino, a new board for Hawaii that was designed in the style of Gerry Lopez after he went snowboarding with him the other day. This board by Kolohe Andino is also designed by Lopez Camo. The reason I went on a 36-hour round trip wave hunt and enjoyed barrel riding was because Corey Lopez currently runs a surf shop in Florida. I'm sure many of you have seen the video on Instagram. Michael Ho, 59 years old, is the oldest active LOST pro rider still racing at Pipeline. Kolohe Andino is in the barrel waves of Seal Beach, California. He lost his GoPro in his mouth that day and is currently searching for it. Kei Kobayashi is currently in Australia and competing on the QS circuit. Apparently he'll be competing in the JPSA again this year, which fits his schedule! I'm looking forward to it.
