Learn moreThank you everyone for coming to our store and purchasing a small wave second board!
As the days of small waves continue, Many customers have come to our store to purchase second boards for small waves! Mr. A, Placebo 5'10" "LAYZ ORCA" FLEXLITE-TURBO material was selected. I was looking for a board that would take off extremely quickly and move quickly sideways after standing up, I recommended the Rays Orca, a model with an extremely fast takeoff, and the customer purchased it. Mr. B, Placebo 5'9" "FISHQUEST II" FLEXLITE-TURBO material was selected. You are currently using the TABLET II model, size 5'8", and are satisfied with the takeoff performance. He has been losing strength over the past few weeks and purchased this for smaller waves to make riding more comfortable. Mr. C said, Placebo 5'10" "FISHQUEST II" FLEXLITE-TURBO material was selected. Compared to the Rays Orca of the same length in the store, the outline is rounded and the maneuverability is good. This is the place they chose. They are planning a surf trip with their children in a camper van during the Obon holidays. Mr. D, Placebo 5'10" "FISHQUEST II" FLEXLITE-TURBO material was selected. I heard that this FQII model is popular for small waves, and once you get used to it, it is also good for medium-sized waves. They came to our store, saw the actual product and made a purchase. Mr. E, LOST "FISHQUEST II" XTR V-FLEX material was chosen. He is currently riding the SUB-DRIVER-JP model, but even during the small waves and crowded conditions of the Obon holiday, he was able to ride faster than anyone else. He wants to take off faster and ride through small waves, so he wants to continue riding waves smaller than waist size. Thank you for purchasing it. Mr. F, LOST "FISHQUEST II" XTR 3D CARBOLIC material was selected. He uses the Placebo RIPQUEST model, but as a second board for riding in small waves, which are common in the summer season, The customer compared several sizes in the store before purchasing.

Learn moreTEAM Luvsurf "Kei Kobayashi" Latest video from Nicaragua!
I just recently returned from a month-long surf trip to San Clemente, California. TEAM Luvsurf's Kei Kobayashi introduces the latest surf video filmed in Nicaragua. Nicaragua is such a tropical place. It goes into the barrel and comes out all the time. Is it the quality of the waves? The speed is really high. Maybe because he's surfing in board shorts, he's light and his air is high and he spins quickly. It was a great practice to surf in a place with good waves. To barrel in with a backhand grab rail, you need to be able to read the timing with the wave. At this age, you've already learned it. And then the layback huck turn in the closeout section! That's amazing. I improved my skills by doing upswings and accelerating inside the tube. Now, let's take a look at how much you've improved. [vimeo]http://vimeo.com/72321151[/vimeo]

Check out these photos of Cory Lopez riding the Placebo ISLANDER FLEXLITE-TURBO. Photo by Hayato Masuda. Cory, who came to San Clemente from Florida for the US Open, said he was going to surf at LOWERS. Please take a look at the photos I took. On this day, Corey showed up with the 5'11" ISLANDER model and the 5'7" V3ROCKET model. The wax is of course "FU WAX" . Of the boards I brought, the one I chose was the 5'11" "ISLANDER" model. Taking advantage of his long arms, he performed layback huck turns many times. The new FLEXLITE-TURBO has a carbon bottom. He said it felt much better than the original FLEXLITE, which didn't have any carbon fiber. Even though he's 35 years old, Corey still surfs fast and never slows down. The ISLANDER model was developed as a model to ride when there is a certain size, This is a board that can be ridden in bigger wave conditions than usual. If you are on an overseas surf trip or on a typhoon or grand swell day, you can ride big waves safely and comfortably. Corey's specialty is the layback, where he falls over and then gets up. This curved turn, where the nose is twisted all the way from here, is also a specialty of his. Everyone is watching! From the peak, Ward was riding the best waves on the right and Cory on the left. This is the Placebo version of the lost F1-STUB model , the ISLANDER model. He also nailed the air with ease. Nishii filmed Cory's surfing this round on video, so please look forward to it!

Among them, there were many new brands exhibiting in socks, headphones, bikes and clothing, aiming to come in second place. This is the LOST booth. Unlike previous ASR shows, this exhibition is not about booth decoration, but rather about the content. LOST staff member Paul shows us a new model currently under development. On the left is a wooden deck, in the middle is a deck with glitter glitter, and on the right is new resin work. A mannequin display with a resin work theme.
