As expected from Diablo! LOST's "DIABLO-SPARTAN" runs and moves incredibly well!
As I announced yesterday, I had a session with Chucky today. Chucky had contacted Nishii many times, asking when he would come to California next, and had even sent him emails saying, "Let me ride the Goblin soon!" Chucky finally meets his long-awaited "GOBLIN." Apply FU WAX WARM carefully all the way to the nose. Even with small waves, he seemed to enjoy himself and didn't come out of the sea for about five hours. They seemed to be having fun riding "GOBLIN." After about five hours of riding, I got used to it and was able to control it like it was my own board. Nishii's favorite is LOST's DIABLO-SPARTAN . LOST "DIABLO-SPARTAN" is part of the Diablo series, so It's easier to paddle than high-performance models like the "BEACH BUGGY," "SUB BUGGY," and "BABY BUGGY," yet it runs and moves incredibly well! It's recommended for those who don't need as much buoyancy as the "DOS-DIABLO," but still want more buoyancy than the high-performance models mentioned above. Its wide, rounded outline makes it easy to turn. Try out the best mobility in the Diablo series !
Learn moreWho was attacking the best waves with the PLACEBO "SHORT ROUND" FLEXLITE-BOOST?
There was a forecast of strong southerly winds, and a whale had washed up on Lowers, attracting sharks attracted by the smell of blood, so surfing was not possible near Trestles. There were a lot of surfers at Salt Creek and it was very crowded. The waves were barrel waves like this hitting the reef break at Salt Creek, right off the coast. The one who tackled that wave with the PLACEBO "SHORT ROUND" FLEXLITE-BOOST was, This man is Matt King, the King of Surfing. Air, too, The waves are carvable, There were even barrels, making for perfect conditions. Matt King, aka "Kinger," had his amazing ride captured on video by our dedicated cameraman, Tony. Nishii is on the personal board, PLACEBO 5'8 "CQ EL-DIBALO" FLEXLITE-BOOST . It was crowded, so I was waiting for a wave at a slightly different peak. The wave I rode when SET came was this barrel, and when I got out of the water I was told that it was the biggest wave of all. KOLOHE, currently ranked 4th in the WSL, will also be appearing in "POCKET ROCKET" ! To give you an idea of how crowded it was, KA, IAN, NATE and other surfers from the area were there. Chucky has the day off from his valet parking job tomorrow, so we'll be meeting up and taking photos. Stay tuned for our report!

Have you had a look at the currently on sale "SURF TRIP Journal" magazine? The magazine features an article about a short surf trip to Amami Oshima taken by FU WAX team members Yukawa Masato, Nakaura JET Akira, and Nishii. This was Nishii's third time on Amami Oshima, and the waves were small, so he spent the whole time riding his PLACEBO 5'4" 'GOBLIN' FLEXLITE-BOOST . Masato has been riding LOST's "CHOPPER" for a long time. Amami Oshima is a tropical island that can be reached by plane in just two hours, making it a great choice for short domestic trips. I went in late February and the water temperature was so hot that even on a cloudy day I was wearing a 3mm full suit. There are countless places to surf, it's never crowded, the food is delicious, and it's a great place. FU WAX advertising is also featured, Nishii's travel preparations, "Eastern Taiwan Edition," is also included. Please take a look.
Learn moreKinger said that the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO is the best bike to ride in a competition.
"King of Surfing" Kinger is the best surfer in a contest. He said that "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" was the best. He said that this board is the most standard, has no quirks, and is a normal high-performance board. Of the four Placebo models he rode this time, he declared that he would be riding the Conquest El-Diablo in the contest. He explained that this is the case, and that Mayhem designed and tested it to give it that riding feel, and that it is a special board that has evolved from the original Conquest. Like yesterday, there was no wind before 6am today, but by 10am the waves were completely side-onshore and bad, but the more I watched, the more I realized how amazing Kinger's surfing was. I'm intrigued by how that huge body can move around so effortlessly. The amount of spray and the way it flies are even more impressive than those of WCT athletes, and it's like a heavyweight jet! He always rides good waves like this, which is why he's called the "King of Surfing"! Have you tried the wildly popular CONQUEST EL-DIABLO yet? It's a board that Kinger also likes and is probably the best-selling model in Japan. It's available in six sizes in 2016, so we hope it can be ridden by a wider range of surfers!
Learn more"MATT KING" Today we have the PLACEBO 5'6 "SHORT ROUND" FLEXLITE-BOOST.
MATT KING's nickname is He is known as the "King of Surfing" or "Kinger." Today, we will introduce him again with photos taken by Nishii. If you don't know who Kinger is, please first check out this LOST "HERE TODAY... GONE TO CABO" DVD ! Today I'm riding a PLACEBO 5'6 'SHORT ROUND' FLEXLITE-BOOST. The fins are QUAD, and it's apparently his second time using quads in his life. Can you see how the spray is neatly separated into the number of fins? This kind of spray can only be produced by real surfing with rails. He also showed off some heavy lip and carving that destroyed the waves. Kinger is also sponsored by USA Cyber Wetsuits. He even managed to pull off this 360 degree backside spin with ease! Closing is the main sponsor of LOST. He is also a professional surfer and has participated in the WQS. I'm also a painter on a regular basis. Kinger spends his days in San Clemente, surfing in the morning, working as a painter, and then surfing again in the evening, an enviable lifestyle. It feels like he's a familiar presence!

Everyone, the "King of Surfing" Kinger has joined the Presebo team! Today we'd like to introduce him riding Goblin with some photos taken by Nishii. If you've seen the LOST "HERE TODAY... GONE TO CABO" DVD, you probably already know this, but Ward's protégé, "Kinger," also known as the "King of Surfing," who is a good guy in San Clemente but feared as a dangerous person, has joined the Precebo team! Nishii and Mayhem have been riding PLACEBO boards well in San Clemente, so Kinger has been on his mind for quite some time. I've ridden boards from several companies that have EPS cores and are made of epoxy resin, and I also rode a LIBTECH board at LOST, but none of them felt good because they didn't have the flex performance needed for surfing and didn't bounce back when I lipped. However, as Mayhem said, the PLACEBO has amazing rebound, so the board pops and goes fast, and it feels really good. This time, Mayhem gave Kinger four boards. "LAYZ-POTATO" "SHORT ROUND" Goblin "CONQUEST EL-DIABLO" These are the four models. Anyway, because it's so big, it makes deep turns, thick lines, and produces a lot of spray! He can do air and barrel with that huge body. He can't win contests, but... Mayhem has said before that he's a good surfer. Despite his huge size, he is a skilled surfer, able to noseride through the water. Nishii filmed the surfing on this day, so please look forward to the release of the footage of "Matt "King of Surfing" King"! We also plan to release footage shot by his personal photographer, Tony! Huh! Because Placebo is doing great??? Look forward to the amazing surfing footage that will make you think, "Wow, this is even possible!"
Learn moreLOST's "SUPER DIABLO" BLACK DART version is in great condition!!
LOST " SUPER DIABLO" BLACK DART specification is in great condition! Nishii had ordered the LOST ``GOBLIN'' in BLACK DART specification, which I had previously mentioned in this blog, but because it had an elevator wing, it could not be made in BLACK DART specification, so he had it made using the same model ``SUPER DIABLO'' , which only had a different tail shape, and Nishii's personal board ``BLACK DART'' was completed. I've already done two rounds and it feels great! In addition to the bouncy EPS core foam, the carbon rebound provides incredible acceleration and high speeds! Until now, I had only ridden BLACK DART-spec boards, such as the large test boards for foreigners at LOST headquarters, which were too big for Nishii's body type, but the one that fits me is amazing! In the sea, What is that board? That's fast! What model of LOST is it? The acceleration was so incredible that people were asking, "Are you going that fast?" and the speed was so high. BLACK DART is stringerless and more flexible than any other material, We can confidently say that it is the best match for the DIABLO series models, which are thicker than regular boards! Nishii's personal board " SUPER DIABLO" is the same as a stock board at 5'4" and 32CL, The maneuverability that allows you to easily perform consecutive rips is truly Mayhem! The SUPER DIABLO has a buoyancy volume that allows it to take off from swells as easily as a LONG, and its well-researched rocker and tail design allows it to rip easily! Nishii's board size is 5'4", the same as his STOCK board. LOST's " SUPER DIABLO" is highly recommended! http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/category/item/itemgenre/lost_board/super-diablo/ Here are the boards that just arrived and are ready to ride!

We will explain how to properly apply Nishii's summer version of "FU WAX". "FU WAX" is a small factory in Brazil. It's a secret recipe that only FU can make. It is 100% handmade, carefully mixed and produced over time and with great care. They are shipped to Japan and sold for about three months. Now that the secret of 3D grip performance has been revealed, It is no exaggeration to say that almost everyone Used by WSL and WQS surfers, For Japanese users who are not willing to compromise on surfing goods We will explain how to properly apply the summer version of ``FU WAX'' that you are using. There are three types of "FU WAX" available. ＊BASE *TROPICAL *WARM These are the three. *To create the base, first apply "BASE". The Nishii method involves carefully applying the FU WAX horizontally, pressing it down about 20-25cm, as if you were painting a picture, so that no areas are left uncoated . Once the entire board is coated, apply another 20-25cm of FU WAX vertically in the same way . If you have been riding a POLY board for a long time, there will be dents and dents, so if you try to smooth out the dents with FU WAX , there will be areas that are not covered, so you should apply it to the edges a little. It's a good idea to make sure that the ``FU WAX'' penetrates into the recesses as well . 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 standard shortboard. This is just the right amount. *As a mid-coat, Apply " TROPICAL " on top of "BASE" . Apply it more thinly than when you applied "BASE", carefully and without leaving any gaps, as if you were coloring a picture, and apply it in the same way, pressing about 20-25cm vertically and 20-25cm horizontally. Apply the middle coat at a rate of approximately 1/6 to 1/8. This is just the right amount. *As a top coat, Apply a very thin layer of `` WARM '' in the same way. Apply the paint thinly and carefully in both vertical and horizontal directions without leaving any areas uncoated to achieve a perfect grip. Apply about 1/8 to 1/10 of the top coat. This is just the right amount. We recommend a mix of all three! Unlike previous waxes that only grip horizontally, FU WAX There's no need to create ugly bumps and grip left and right. "FU WAX" is a "3D surf wax" that grips and tucks not only left and right, but also upwards, so once it's applied, your car won't slip. Be sure to apply it carefully, thinly and skillfully, so that no areas are missed. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/store/11847/ Purchase "FU WAX" here!
