New Luvsurf TV: Placebo "TABLET II" Masato Yukawa.
Luvsurf TV: Placebo "TABLET II" Masato Yukawa. Rider: Masato Yukawa. Board used: Placebo 5'8" TABLET II FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM: Hayato Masuda EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM He has visited Japan more than 15 times and is very familiar with the lifestyles of Japanese surfers and the quality of the waves in Japan. The only world-class top shaper, "Mayhem" Matt Biolos, talks about the Japanese waves and This is an upgraded version of the TABLET, which was researched, developed and designed for senior surfers aged 35 and over. This is an intriguing collection of riding videos that will make you wonder how a young 21-year-old Japanese professional surfer can ride. The waves recorded were not very good, but Masato Yukawa's riding brought out the best in the TABLET II. It almost looks like a good wave. The TABLET II is thick in the center, but thinner at the tail and nose. This allows you to perform tricky and sharp riding moves such as sliding the tail and reversing. It's easy to gain speed in waves where a normal thruster board for competitions that doesn't have buoyancy can't gain speed. Such top actions are also possible. It can reach speeds faster than you would expect, so it's perfect for modern surfing, where you can jump, bounce, and spin. This is one of the reasons why the TABLET II is so popular. First-time riders are amazed at how quickly it takes off. Air reverse is also easy to do, and after his first ride, pro rider Masato Yukawa said he wanted to use it in competitions. The TABLET II has just arrived for the first time, but... These three sizes, 5'8", 5'10", and 6'0", are so popular that the initial stock has sold out. The next shipment is scheduled for the end of April. We are currently accepting pre-orders. If you want to ride it during Golden Week, be sure to make a reservation.

Luvsurf TV:Placebo “RNF-EVOLUTION” Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: Placebo 5'8" RNF-EVOLUTION FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM :Hayato Masuda EDIT：TABRIGADE FILM The flip nose is designed at the tip of the nose about 25cm, The rounded nose prevents pearling when taking off in deep waves, which has been a problem until now. The carbon fiber on the bottom of the FLEXLITE-TURBO board flexes smoothly, It springs back and extends every time the board bounces and turns. It's a round nose surfboard that can handle rough, thick waves and deep shorebreak waves. The thin tail makes it easy to create action even in deep, curled sections. Put as much weight as you can on the board and accelerate with a flexed turn. You'll make a great turn. The round nose design allows for faster take-off than point nose boards, so you can get up quickly even in large waves. The 5'8" and 5'10" sizes have been newly added, allowing you to choose from a total of five sizes to accommodate a wide range of levels and needs. This is a Japan-exclusive model that is a tuned-up version of Mayhem's classic RNF model to suit Japanese waves. Two new sizes of this model, 5'8" and 5'10", have just arrived! We currently have a few boards available for immediate riding, so if you'd like to ride to your heart's content during Golden Week, please consider purchasing one soon.

Learn moreA LOST&Placebo test ride with surf shop JACK at Shizunami Beach in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Today Nishii is having a LOST&Placebo test ride with surf shop JACK on Shizunami Beach in Shizuoka Prefecture. Many people came from early in the morning. The waves look like this and are waist-high. So many people participated that the test drive point was crowded with people. Unlimited rides on Placebo's new models before they're released! The corkboard was well received today. Everyone was very interested in the MAYHEM board, which they were seeing for the first time. The new model SUB-SCHOCHER2 has been getting a lot of attention and has received positive reviews! It was so popular that you had to wait in line for a while to get on the SUB-SCHOCHER2! Today, everyone tried out FU WAX and we received feedback such as, "It's completely different from anything I've used before!", "It has amazing grip," "My hands don't slip when I take off, which is great!", and "I was skeptical when I saw it on the web and in advertisements, but the 3D grip is real!" The waves were compact and pretty good for trying out the board. The SUB-DRIVER-JP model was certainly a hit and the test rides were very popular! This is a SUB-DRIVER model. It's a Cork V2-ROCKET! It's a river mouth wave that can be ridden by both right and left snorkelers. We received feedback that the V2-ROCKET took off like a rocket. Shizunami has relatively small waves, so ORCA is also recommended. It was the first time for everyone to try FU WAX, but they all gave us positive feedback, saying that it was very stable and made it easy to paddle. After the test ride, I realized that the MAYHEM shape is completely different from the previous boards, and even though it's small, it still runs well. We immediately placed a custom order for a small board and a SUB-SCORCHER. Thank you to everyone who took part in the test drive today! Please see this as well. http://www.jack-blog.com/?p=11929
Learn moreToday, Nishii held a test drive event with WATERS at Omaezaki Beach in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Today, Nishii held a test drive event with WATERS at Omaezaki Beach in Shizuoka Prefecture. Many customers from WATERS, a LOST&Placebo retailer in Shizuoka City, participated in the event. You are looking at the concave of the F1-STUB. The BEACH BUGGY and SUB-SCORCHER2 are very popular. You'll also be able to ride Placebo's LAYZ ORCA and TABLET2, which will be arriving soon! You can even try FU WAX! FISHQUEST2 was also popular. The 5'8" size is still the most popular! In the strong winds that were not ideal for the waves, we also had the opportunity to test ride the SUB-DRIVER-JP model. The wind was so strong that we couldn't set up a tent, so we just set up a flag today. This is after applying 11 bottles of FU WAX. If the grip is attached and the base is painted, We have demonstrated that it can still be used comfortably for more than 10 rounds. You can also test drive the SUB-TABLET! Now everyone wants to try BEACH BUGGY! It feels like Omaezaki! The waves weren't great because of the strong wind, but they were consistently this size. FISHQUEST2 is still popular at test ride events this year. This is what it looked like after applying 15 bottles of FU WAX. The wind was strong so we stowed the board under the car to prevent it from flying away. Everyone was surprised to experience FU WAX's 3D grip, which they had never used before. You can also test drive a corkboard! Of course, V2-ROCKET too! The SUB-SCORCHER2 is extremely popular and in high demand! The person holding the board down to prevent it from flying away is the owner of WATERS , Mr. Yamamoto. Thank you for your hard work today!

Learn moreNew Luvsurf TV: Placebo “LAYZ ORCA” Koji Nishii
Luvsurf TV:Placebo “LAYZ ORCA” Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: Placebo 5'8" LAYZ ORCA FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM: Toku EDIT: Total Video Service This new model is based on the original LOST ORCA model and is made of Placebo FLEXLITE-TURBO material, but is thinner and has a grip that makes it easier to grip the rail when dolphin-dodging. This Rays Orca model is designed for even the smallest of small wave boards, with take-off performance that rivals that of a longboard, even at crowded major surf spots on weekends, allowing you to ride a large number of waves in a short amount of time and enjoy surfing. At first glance, the wide board-out design makes it look like a retro or Simmons-style board that only skilled surfers or those with good waves can ride well after takeoff, but that's not the case.The Mayhem was designed with the assumption that it would be ridden by Japanese surfers in small Japanese waves, so that anyone can easily ride it. If you surf with the LAYZ ORCA model, you can wait for waves further out even at crowded spots, so you'll never have to feel frustrated when a longboarder steals your wave. This board has a rail design that rounds the edges and positions the edges higher on the deck than usual, making it easier to control the rails of the board. See how the board accelerates quickly even when it stops while riding. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/61405687[/vimeo]

Mr. A, He chose the LOST "COUCH POTATO" in Polyester Tint Regin Color. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/couch-potato He was looking for a board that could be ridden as short as possible and had a fast takeoff in small waves, and he found this on the website! He consulted us about which size would be best for him and made a reservation before the item arrived. Mr. B, The LOST "F1-STUB" POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch specification was selected. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/f-1-stub I recently bought a surfboard from another brand, and after trying it out a few times, I decided it wasn't right for me. I had been looking at the MAYHEM boards on the web for a while and was looking for an all-around board. He purchased this ``F1-STUB.'' Mr. C said, The LOST "SUB SCORCHER 2" was chosen with the POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch specification. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/sub-scorcher2 The length of this board is the most popular size, 5'9". This time, it is a performance board for small waves. Nishii and everyone who has ridden it have all agreed that this model has a fast takeoff. Mr. D, Placebo "FISHQUEST2" FLEXLITE-TURBO specification was selected. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/placebo/fishquest2-p He said he'd gained weight recently, and as a result, the buoyancy of his current surfboard was no longer suitable. The customer purchased the ``FISHQUEST2'' because it has plenty of buoyancy and a roomy size. Mr. F, LOST "SUB DRIVER" POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch specification was selected. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/sub-driver He was using a 5'7" ROCKET POLY for small waves, and this time he ordered a 5'10" SUB DRIVER. Thank you for purchasing it. Mr. G said, LOST "BEACH BUGGY" POLYESTER Carbon Tail Patch specification, http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/beach-buggy The 5'10" SUB-SCORCHER2 you purchased last time is working well, but I'm also looking for a board that's one inch shorter. He wanted to try riding it, so he chose the BEACH BUGGY model. LOST "ORCA" POLYESTER REGIN TINT COLOR specifications, http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/models/lost/orca This was purchased to be used at Super Overflow so that it would be fun even when the waves are very small and it's crowded.
