The exciting M size! First public release! Check out the FCSII "MAYHEM" 5-fin design.
Medium size! First look! Check out the FCSII "MAYHEM" 5-fin design. The release is scheduled for next spring, but I will be releasing it in Japan for everyone who follows my blog. Until now, there was only L size, Finally, we are releasing a medium size that is more suitable for us Japanese people. This is what it looks like when worn as a tri-fin. Carbon is only placed inside the side fins, The center fin has carbon in the center of the fin. This structure allows for greater rebound and drive than glass alone. This is what it looks like when installed as a QUAD. There is no carbon fiber in the rear, but it is slightly tilted backwards. The shape helps you maintain speed without releasing the turn too quickly. The medium size is easy for anyone to use, so I'm looking forward to using it soon! This is the new L size fin. As you can see, it's a 5 fin set. Tri-fin setup. The L size has carbon on the outside. The front fin and QUAD rear fin are You can see the white honeycomb foam core from the inside, which is used to reduce weight. These new MAYAHEM fins, Once the exact size, price, release date, etc. have been decided, We'll let you know here on the blog! The M-size MAYAHEM fins were made by Nishii through both FCS in Japan and MAYHEM itself. We suggested that they make these fins because they would suit the board and body type needs of Japanese users, and they made them for us.

Luvsurf TV: PLACEBO "LAYZ-POTATO" Yusuke Kajima Rider: Yusuke Kajima Board used: Placebo 5'5" "LAYZ-POTATO" FLEXLITE-BOOST & CANDY FILM: Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM When he was a university student, Kashima was able to place 4th in the men's class at the All Japan University Surfing Championships. He is a staff member in charge of surfboard sales at Murasaki Sports Chigasaki store. In this riding movie, I ride the FLEXLITE BOOST and CANDY, which are the same size and model. The FLEXLITE-BOOST was a speedy ride on the Chiba waves, The FLEXLITE-CANDY has a smooth ride that suits the soft waves of Shonan. The way to ride the "LAYZ-POTATO" is not to try to move the board forcefully and move forward, When you sit relaxed on the board, you will gain speed and start riding. You can watch this riding movie many times, Please use this as an example of how to ride the LAYZ-POTATO. "LAYZ-POTATO" This model is really good! Please come to the store and ask Mr. Kashima about how well it is doing. Now, please take a look at Kashima's riding video. [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/135247997[/vimeo]
Learn morePlease take a look at the series of images of the Nishii-style dolphin-through.
We are pleased to announce that we have updated Nishii's riding video for his profile, which has been displayed in small print in the profile section on the right side of this 24'S blog page and has been playing on a loop without any change for many years (probably about 8 years). Among these, there is one ride that has not yet been released, but anyone who knows which ride it is is a real Nishii riding movie expert! This video includes underwater footage of a dolphin gliding through the water. You will be able to see how Nishii is dolphining, so please take a good look. Here's an excerpt from that video We will post a series of images of the Nishii-style dolphin-through and explain it. Push the board down with both arms and one knee. Extend both arms and hook one foot into the grip kick, Place one foot next to the rail. While moving the board deep forward, Kick the water with one foot that is placed next to the rail, and lower your head and body further. Push the board down with the kicking foot. Kick one leg that is next to the rail backwards, Get your board as deep as possible. The ideal timing is when the waves are passing over you. These are the steps to diving with a dolphin. From here on, it's the action to float up. Kick the board down with the foot that was holding the kick. Place the nose up and point the board in the upward direction. At this point, release the foot that was holding the kick. Raise your eyes and head upwards, Pull both arms that are holding the rails together to prepare the board for paddle position. So that you can get into paddling position as soon as you reach the surface of the water. Position your board and body in the optimal paddle position to float. This action is like dolphining against waves that are about to break. How to calm the board, how to use your hands and feet, and your position relative to the board. Please take a good look at the continuous movement in each photo and use it as a reference. Now, please take a look at the profile riding video on Nishii's blog. Is Nishii the only one who thinks PLACEBO's "LAYZ POTATO" looks the best? [vimeo]https://vimeo.com/134787388[/vimeo]

Learn moreWe heard some interesting opinions from "FU WAXER" who was there.
Yesterday, Sunday, I loaded my LOST & PLACEBO surfboards into my car. At Maruky P in Chiba Minami, there is a historic Maruky Parco Cup. At the AM contest, LOST and PLACEBO surfboards, There was a booth offering free trials of FU WAX . The staff at the Billabong and Dakine booths He gave us a test drive of LOST&PLACEBO. These two people came from Hasaki, Ibaraki. He asked us a lot of questions about the new LOST surfboard models. Nishii surfed for about an hour to prevent heatstroke. The wind was weaker than yesterday, so the waves were easy to ride. The board I'm riding is a PLACEBO 5'8" CQ EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-CANDY. This model is truly a versatile player. It can handle a wide range of waves, from thick ones to deep ones, and you can ride them with ease. Any interesting opinions about FU WAX ? Some users who are already using it came to our booth and told us, That FU WAXER, " FU WAX is cheap, isn't it?" When I asked why, "Changing your fins will change your surfing and make you feel better, Just by applying FU WAX , your surfing will change and improve. Because it's a lot cheaper than Finn!" That's what he said. That's true!

Yesterday, the 25th (Sat), we had a LOST&PLACEBO test drive booth at Maruki in Minami Chiba. We will be open today, the 26th (Sun) as well! We were also given a free trial application of FU WAX . This is a user tournament in the Chiba area hosted by MURASAKI Sports. FU WAX can be applied for free before heating, It was a huge success, and Nishii applied a lot of FU WAX today. Uehara, who helped me, was also busy and barefoot. For those who have owned a nostalgic SUB-SCHOCHER model, The car that was test driven was, as expected, the ``CQ-EL-DIABLO'' . The majority of people said they were already using it! Some people were using it for the first time, so I was taught how to paint carefully. The trick to applying FU WAX is to apply it thinly and evenly, making sure no areas are left uncoated. There's no need to make any bumps! See also: This photo is of Nishii after a little surfing. Today's PLACEBO 5'8" 『CQ -EL-DIABLO』FLEXLITE-CANDY I rode the train. As the water temperature dropped, I applied BASE, WARM, and COOL and it was just right! Please keep this in mind as the water temperature will still be cold for the next few days.
