Photo of Masato Yukawa, a pro rider on Placebo's SURFSKATE
Currently, I'm working on a video editing of the Placebo SURFSKATE model. I received a clip from Masato Yukawa PRO, I will make it public to everyone. It was taken on a small wave at a beach break. This riding video shows the characteristics of the Placebo "SURFSKATE" model. It has been edited so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. Making tight turns in succession, riding the waves until they almost land, Masato PRO is surfing with a unique feel and line and seems to be having fun. It looks like it will be released within the next week, so please look forward to it.

Luvsurf TV:LOST 『F1-STUB』 Masato Yukawa Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST MAYHEM "F1-STUB" http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/camp/F1stub.html FILM: Masaki Kobayashi & Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This video shows Masato Yukawa riding in Mexico. Unlike other riding videos, it contains a lot of footage of him riding backside waves, so it's a collection of clips that those who aren't good at backside surfing should take a good look and study. The F1-STUB's distinctive feature is its flow (floating nature). By taking advantage of this flow, even in slow-moving waves, if you use the bottom to get deep, you can kick the board into the top and make continuous spray-producing turns. The F1-STUB can be surfed without slowing down even on flat wave sections. In this riding video, the waves that Masato PRO is riding are not powerful and not good waves. Try imitating the movements of surfing pro surfer Yukawa, who twists his body, swings the board with hand movements, and skillfully connects them with turns. [vimeo]http://vimeo.com/49423534[/vimeo]

Learn moreLOST surfboard test ride event at Torami Beach in Chiba.
Today we held a LOST surfboard test ride event at Torami Beach in Chiba. We prepared a lot of boards and had many customers gather, Soon after the start, boards were being rented out. Today's popular item was ``SUB-DRIVER-JP''. Today, the chest size also came as a set, There were quite a few waves so the conditions were perfect for trying out a performance model rather than a small wave model. The main focus was on LOST, but we also had them try out Placebo models such as TABLET. It was the first time for everyone to ride an XTR board, such as the XTR V-FLEX or XTR 3D CARBOLIC, so They were amazed by its light movement and responsive speed flex. Some parents and children participated, and one 12-year-old child tried out the 5'7" board that Shaw K rode. My dad is F1-STUB. Everyone who participated today was seriously thinking about which board to ride next. I provided a very detailed explanation comparing it with several other models. As you can see, the popular "SUB-DRIVER-JP" model at today's test ride event is We currently have stock boards in stock in all sizes. Now you can choose the material as well. If you have any questions about the size or material of your board, please use this form. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact/contact.php Or feel free to call us at 030-3732-5532!

Sunday, November 18th 2012 Luvsurf CUP ★Entries close tomorrow, the 11th! The contest banner design looks like this: If you haven't yet applied, please call us now at 03.3732.5532 or http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact/contact.php Please contact us here. Wadahama Beach, Chiba Prefecture At Ohara parking point in the southern Chiba area. Meeting at 6:30 AM, start at 7:00 AM. http://luvsurf.co.jp/24sblog/?p=15850 Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased a new board! Mr. A, LOST ORCA XTR 3D CARBOLIC material was selected. This board is perfect for those who want a stable paddle in small waves, take off fast enough to rival longboards in small waves, and ride more waves than others at crowded weekend surf spots. We highly recommend this model to those who often surf at crowded surf spots with relatively small waves, such as Shonan, Isonoura, and Kokufunohama. Mr. B, Placebo "TABLET" FLEXLITE-TURBO material was selected. Taking into consideration the wave conditions in Japan and Japanese surfers, MAYHEM designed the shape for an extremely fast take-off, and the design concept is perfect! The customer purchased a Presebo FLEXLITE-TURBO surfboard, a durable and long-lasting ultra-long-life surfboard finished with UV-blocking white paint that prevents sunburn. Mr. C said, The customer chose LOST's ``POWERQUEST'' XTR PARALLEL-FLEX material. He has been riding the exact same size and model board, made with the same XTR PARALLEL-FLEX material, and it feels amazing, so he ordered an exact copy. Using the latest digital technology in our AKU machine, MAYHEM can now create a clone of the board he previously rode, so please feel free to use it. Mr. D, LOST "SUB-DRIVER-JP" XTR 3D CARBOLIC material was selected. This board was reserved before it arrived. XTR 3D CARBOLIC material has been popular since its release this year, and production is currently running out. You could not purchase them unless you reserved them before they arrived, but we have just received boards in sizes 5'10" to 6'0" so you can ride them right away. Please consider purchasing them soon before they run out of stock again. Mr. E, Placebo's "SURF SKATE" was chosen using FLEXLITE-TURBO material. A few years ago, he had ridden this "SURF SKATE" model with the FLEXLITE material before it was made with the FLEXLITE-TURBO material. This time, they are made with the latest FLEXLITE-TURBO material and there are only 10 of each size, so now is the time to buy! Mr. F, LOST "CONQUEST" XTR 3D CARBOLIC material was selected. He rides a 7'4" Funboard and a 6'0" Retrofish, but they feel heavy to ride. He was looking for a board that would allow him to move lightly while still having buoyancy, and he was impressed with the concept of the "CONQUEST" model, so he came to our shop to ask for advice. He chose the high-end material XTR 3D CARBOLIC for even more light and nimble surfing. Thank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased a new board!

Luvsurf TV:LOST "WHIPLASH-TB" Masato Yukawa Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST MAYHEM "WHIPLASH-TB" FILM: Masaki Kobayashi & Koji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM This is a compilation of Luvsurf team rider Masato Yukawa PRO's riding in Mexico, who will be appearing on Fuji TV's "Terrace House" tonight at 11pm on Friday. Mayhem's newly designed Whiplash adds volume and buoyancy to enhance its all-around performance. This is the "WHIPLASH-TB" model. The waves at this point are weak and the surface is soft. You can see from this riding video that this is a model that can extract speed with the Masato PRO. Even after turning and lipping, it quickly regains speed and creates waves by lipping vertically. If you can't get your board to rise vertically on the backside lip, Try imitating Masato PRO's technique of watching the waves carefully and lipping the waves with his hand movements. WHIPLASH-TB's fighting ability is also in the WCT, with Taj Burrow winning two championships in 2013. It is currently extremely popular and is receiving a large number of custom orders in Japan. The WHIPLASH-TB will continue to be Mayhem's legendary high-performance model. If you are interested in competitions, we highly recommend you try out the ``WHIPLASH-TB'' model.
