FISHQUEST 2 and RNF-EVO *Photos that can only be shown now
Placebo's "FISHQUEST 2" and "RNF-EVOLUTION" These two models have been under test development with MAYHEM since around last summer. We are now releasing photos of these two models that we can only show now. This is a photo of the FISHQUEST 2 prototype with FCS fins attached. Here are some photos of the FQ2 board. Do you remember this photo? This is a photo Nishii previously posted on Facebook when he went surfing in California. Look closely, this is a true story from FQ2. You can see the Babel Edge. This is a failed RNF-EVO that can now be shown. MAYHEM designed the Dolphin Grab Rail on a PC using AKU machine software. When I tried cutting the foam with AKU, I ended up with this strange design. However, this photo shows that MAYHEM has confirmed that the rocker design was cut exactly as intended. This is a photo of Placebo testing the board colors that will be used for the RNF-EVOLUTION. The silver metallic color used on the Lancer Evolution was determined by painting several candidate colors onto a FLEXLITE-TURBO board and then conducting a temperature test in sunlight. Other than the white color used up until now, the silver metallic color was chosen as it was the least likely to heat up and melt the wax. Expected to arrive in mid-to-late March, Placebo is now accepting pre-orders for two models : "FISHQUEST 2" and "RNF-EVOLUTION" ! For reservations, please call 03-3732-5532 or contact us using this inquiry form. http://www.luvsurf.co.jp/contact/contact.php Please feel free to contact us with any questions about models and sizes.

On the final day of Interstyle, the Placebo booth set a new record for the highest number of visitors! There were even more visitors today than yesterday. Since it was the last day, the event was held until 5pm instead of 7pm, so everyone came in droves. I spent almost six hours talking about the PLACEBO board. Below are some snapshots of Placebo and the special exhibition room, which were visited by many people. I was busy so I didn't have time to take pictures, so please take a look at only a few of them. I also took the time to visit the LOST booth, which was also packed with visitors. PRO Masato Yukawa also took turns explaining the board at the LOST booth for three days. For four days, the Surf Section store was closed due to an exhibition, Nishii will be working at the Luvsurf physical store from tomorrow the 17th, so if you would like advice on choosing a board, please come and visit us.

Check out the first day of the Interstyle Show @ Yokohama! To access the Placebo surfboard special exhibition hall, go to the 2nd floor. These are the just-announced "RNF-EVO" and "FISHQUEST 2." This is a silver mark FQ2 made specially for Murasaki Sports. In the special room next door, photos were being taken for publication on the web. On the first day, many people came to the event and we had a lot of fun talking. As expected, the two new models are the center of attention! This is a familiar scene from the interview every year. Everyone is very interested in FQ2's Babel Edge. A full view of the LOST surfboard and skateboard booth set up. There were so many people that it was impossible to get inside the LOST booth. It will be held for two more days.

It was a preparation day for the Interstyle exhibition, which starts tomorrow, the 14th. This is the view of the venue from Placebo's special meeting room. All the manufacturers are also busy preparing. Here's a little glimpse of the LOST booth. I won't show you everything, just a part today. What do you think? It's a cool display, isn't it? This is the entrance to Placebo's special room, which is expected to be crowded all day for three days. The general public is allowed to enter the exhibition hall, but please note that only business partners are allowed to enter Placebo. However, starting tomorrow we will be showing you the inside through photos, so please look forward to the 24's blog.
Learn moreAnother new model has arrived! A must-see for tablet users!
Sorry for the long wait, TABLET users! Presebo has released "FISHQUEST 2"! This is a second-hand board for tablet users that takes full advantage of the tablet's performance, which combines quick take-off and maneuverability. Heavier surfers have difficulty in small waves, but this model can take off from quick swells even in such conditions and still perform well. The rocker has been reduced to its minimum, giving the board a sense of buoyancy and volume at the front, further improving paddling and take-off capabilities. If it's up to your waist, use FishQuest 2. If it's above that, use Tablet. By combining these two boards with a 5-fin system, you will be able to handle almost any situation at Japanese beach breaks. A Babeld Edge is installed from the center of the bottom surface of the rail side to about 3/5 of the length of the entire rail of the board, assisting the movement of the rail work of thick boards and allowing them to tilt sensitively and gently. The nose is wide and the tail is also wider than the TABLET, so although the board length is short, it inherits the same quick take-off performance as the TABLET. The elevator wing also has rocker, which makes it easy to change rails from left to right even with a wide tail. This is because when you tilt the rail, the wing acts as a pivot, making the start of the turn clearer. The board length is very short, allowing for quick and tight turns even in small waves. The bottom concave changes from single to double around the front fin, and from the back foot to the tail end it has a deep round concave, making it a special bottom design that makes it easy to move up and down and turn even on thick boards. The knee-high to waist-high size board allows for a fast and smooth take-off, and the ease of one turn that you can't get with other boards will take your surfing to a new dimension.When dolphin-through, the board is equipped with the world's first duck dive grab, which makes it easy to sink the thick, short board.

Learn moreIt has an impact on MAYHEM and runs even better and is more maneuverable!
Kolohe makes his official world tour debut I'm working with MAYHEM to adjust my board for the first tournament, which will be held at Snapper Rocks in Australia from February 25th. In the video of Kolohe that we will introduce this time, Both models are "SUB-DRIVER" board sizes. It is 5′11″x 18 7/8” x 2 1/4” (180 x 47.9 x 5.7 cm) 26.5cl. The new concave shape seems to have worked well. Anyone could see that it was sticking out from the waves more than ever before. You can see in this video how it now projects higher, a difference from before. Even in this position, Korohe will be fine. Even if the front foot shifts towards the nose after a vigorous action, the nose will not sink. He prefers larger boards with wider noses and more buoyancy than other surfers. The design of the SUB-DRIVER takes these things into consideration. LOST's exclusive videographer "Noah Alani" shot the video, and the shaper and surfer looked at the images, The LOST environment allows board design to be developed with other world-class surfers, starting with Kolohe. It is so magnificent that it is unparalleled in the world. This feedback is provided to you This has had an impact on the MAYHEM board, resulting in a board that runs even better and has excellent maneuverability. So, let's enjoy Kolohe's incredible riding!

It's a hot topic! Pre-orders open today! Placebo RNF-EVOLUTION We received many pre-orders before the items arrived! Thank you very much! Someone who had previously ridden an RNF and was thinking about riding it again reserved a 5'11" size. I was looking for the discontinued Presebo UBERFISH 5'10" but wanted a little more buoyancy, so I went for the 5'11" which seemed just right. I usually have a short board, but this year I was planning to buy a long board for small waves, but I thought it would be more fun to move around, so I reserved a 6'3" board. I'm currently riding a 6'4" funboard, which I really like, but I'm a beginner, so this one has a well-thought-out look and concept. It looks cool and is worth owning, so please reserve it for those who are 6'3". There were also people who said they were fans of Chris and wanted to ride before anyone else, so they made a reservation! We have received many reservations today as reservations are now open, but new Presebo models tend to sell out quickly once the season begins in the first year of their release, so please consider making your reservation as soon as possible as it is still possible to make a reservation before the product arrives. This is an announcement. This Lancer Evolution will be delivered to Murasaki Sports stores nationwide in March as the first delivery. The Placebo mark will be in this rare limited edition silver color. Each store will only have a limited number of units in stock, so if you want this rare first version, please make your reservation quickly. Pre-orders have just started on February 1st at Placebo retailers nationwide! The first 100 people to make a reservation will receive a Placebo photocatalytic surf towel (130x90cm) (not for sale)! (Reservations can also be made at Placebo retailers nationwide) Luvsurf's professional team rider Masato Yukawa's blog started today. http://masatoyukawa.com/ They say they will update it every day, so please check it out.
