Don't miss it! PLACEBO surfboard TIME SALE has begun! It's limited in quantity and for a limited time, so don't miss it!

A shocking big event! " PLACEBO Surfboard Time Sale " has been held. I'm curious about the contents... PLACEBO FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE All models ¥89,000! It's a time sale with shocking prices! The PLACEBO ZEKE is known for its best paddle and takeoff performance. It has a straight outline and a large, deep spoon-shaped deep single concave on the bottom, so when you start paddling the surfboard rises and moves forward quickly, allowing you to float on the wave and move lightly. https://vimeo.com/355890904 Even in the thick waves that are common in Japan, where the shoulders disappear quickly and you lose speed, the ZEKE can make tight turns without losing speed, allowing you to ride for longer. You can surf not only thick, flowing small waves that don't break easily, but also head-sized waves! Depending on the conditions of the day, five different fin settings are possible, allowing you to enjoy a variety of feelings. My personal recommendation is two FCS II Mark Richards fins on the front. We recommend attaching a stabilizer to the back fin! For FCSⅡ "Mark Richards" click here!

"DRIVER2.0" Stab In The Dark model is now on sale! LOST "DRIVER2.0" model In "STAB IN THE DARK / ALL STAR EDITION" The world's number one high performance board! The ALL STAR EDITION is the final stage of "Stab In The Dark," a project by Australian company STAB. Three professional surfers, said to be the most picky about surfboard performance in the world, were gathered together and spent about a month riding surfboards with no logos or other markings to discern the shaper or brand at surf spots in various countries, to choose the board with the best performance. In the final, the three judges, Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, and Mick Fanning, carefully selected boards from six of the world's leading high-performance surfboard brands: LOST, CHANNEL ISLAND, JS, DHD, PYZEL, and PUKAS, and after actually riding them, LOST surfboards' high-performance model, the DRIVER2.0, was chosen as the world's best high-performance board! Created to commemorate their number one win at the prestigious "Stab In The Dark," this board is a limited-edition replica board featuring the same "DRIVER2.0" that they actually rode in "Stab In The Dark" and a limited edition logo in a gray airbrushed color. This board will be available in Japan in very limited quantities. Stay tuned for further information on dimensions (size), price, and more! Below is Mick Fanning's visit to the Mayhem shaping room: This is the video of the part where Mayhem is told that "DRIVER2.0" was chosen as the number one in the "Stab In The Dark" final.
