Must see! Chris Ward's ultra-high speed spinning V2-ROCKET!
Luvsurf TV: LOST 『V2-ROCKET』Chris Ward Rider: Chris Ward Board used: LOST 『V2-ROCKET』 POLYESTER FILM :Koji Nishii EDIT：TABRIGADE FILM This is a super riding video of Chris Ward's favorite, the V2-ROCKET. The V2-ROCKET is a model designed for smaller waves, but it has a straighter outline than the ROCKET model and more drive, so it is designed to be able to ride well on the waves that are common in Japan, even if they are a little bigger. The rails are also rounded, giving the board excellent rebound, so the board bounces back with a lip action. This Chris Ward backside lip really brings out the board's characteristics. And in this way, Ward takes advantage of the board's bouncy properties to land airs that soar like rockets. Nishii filmed everything, but Chris Ward flew higher than expected, so this second ride is out of frame. The speed of the backside air rotation he uses in this final close-out section is super fast, so it's a must-see. Experience the drive and rebound that only those who have ridden the V2-ROCKET can understand.

Learn moreA Placebo test drive event was held at Chiba Kita Sands Ichinomiya store.
Today, we went to Torami Beach in the northern Chiba area. A Placebo test drive event was held at Sands Ichinomiya store. Placebo's main popular model, Tablet RNF-EVOLUTION FISHQUEST2 RIPQUEST POWERQUEST SUB-SCORCHER Six models are available for full-size test drives. Buyers from MURASAKI Sports also attended the event. I test rode each model over and over again to experience the board's performance. The waves were small, but the quality was such that surfing was possible all day long, so visitors were able to try out the boards until the evening. The most popular test drive was, of course, the TABLET! Also, since the RNF-EVO and FQ2 are new models, everyone was trying them out. The next Placebo test drive event will be held at Sands Ichinomiya store in collaboration with Murasaki Sports, and is scheduled for the following date: June 9th (Sat) 7/7 (Sat) July 21st (Sat) 8/4 (Sat) 8/11 (Sat) *Schedule may change depending on wave conditions and weather. Applications for test rides can be made at any Murasaki Sports store. The event will be held from 9:00 to 15:00 each day.
Learn moreTest ride report on the cork deck ``V2-ROCKET''!
In the previous blog, I mentioned Nishii's test board and Mayhem's test board that he brought to the NIKE Prime event venue. Today I test rode a board with a cork deck. I was worried about whether the skis would really slip without wax, but they didn't slip at all and I was able to ride without any problems. The interior of this board is EPS foam. The rails are made of carbon fiber, making them very sturdy. The cork looked wet when it came out of the water, but it dried quickly. The bottom surface is laminated with epoxy resin. I tried riding with AUROLA 4.5 fins as a tri-fin. FUTUTER fins. The leash plug area looks like this and is carefully made for peace of mind. The V2-ROCKET itself was in good condition, The cork on the deck is soft, so the flex of the entire board felt too soft. The internal EPS foam has been changed to a harder quality for a more comfortable ride. I'll try requesting it.
