Today we held a Placebo test drive event at Nakazato Beach in Kita-Chiba. This is a test drive and study session hosted by Murasaki Sports for sales staff from all over the country. To explain surfboards to customers, It makes a big difference whether you have actually ridden it or not, Everyone is busy trying out models they've never ridden before. Almost everyone has had the experience of riding popular standard models such as the TABLET at past test ride events, The new models RNF-EVOLITION and FISHQUEST2 are very popular as many people haven't had a chance to ride them yet. Placebo was the most popular test drive vehicle among the staff today as well. The round-nosed Lancer Evolution's lightness of movement and the small waves today made it a pleasure to ride. FISHQUEST2's quick take-off speed inherited from the TABLET, Everyone was amazed at the speed and agility of the car. They were all smiling and test-driving the bikes without any fear of the strong winds, saying they were confident in selling them. Today's visitors were from far away places like Nagoya, Kansai, Chugoku, and Kyushu, so please be careful on your way home. Thank you for your hard work!

Today at Nakazato Beach in Chiba North, It was a surfboard study session and test ride event for Murasaki Sports' sales staff. Since it was windy in the morning, we held a study session at Taiyo no Sato. Surfboard and wetsuit manufacturers from all over the country gathered. Murasaki Sports' sales staff spent a day studying to ensure they could accurately and correctly recommend Placebo surfboards to end users across the country. In the afternoon, the wind died down and the waves got better, so we had a test ride. Placebo surfboards are the most popular as always, with staff fighting over them! Of course, the new model was first come, first served. The waves were in excellent condition. Imabukuro, the representative of Cyber and WET Suit, also participated in the session on his own board. The waves are so good it's a tube battle. Being able to test ride the board in these wave conditions gave me a good feel for its merits and demerits. This wave was incredibly good. After this, he went through the tube beautifully. The waves are good so everyone is smiling, mainly new models. We tried to get as many people on board as possible. Tomorrow, sales staff from other stores will be gathering from all over the country to replace today's.
