New Luvsurf TV: Placebo “RIPQUEST” Chucky Rigano!
Rider: Chucky Rigano Board used: Placebo 5'11" RIPQUEST FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM & EDIT：TOKU-TOTAL VIDEO SERVICE Luvsurf TV: Placebo “RIPQUEST” Chucky Rigano Please check out this "RIPQUEST" riding movie. Compare it with the riding video on the tablet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDdu3E7ZHn0 You will see that the design of RIPQUEST is designed to make it easy to apply lipstick. The left and right rails change direction faster than the TABELT, heading towards the lip. Notice the sharp vertical progression of the board. Also, the cutback movement, which is a specialty of "RIPQUEST", is a bit like a slash. You can see that it can make tight turns repeatedly. And by utilizing the high repulsion of the board, which is a characteristic of the "FLEXLITE-TURBO" material, During the lip action, the board rises high from bottom to top. The RIPQUEST is a Japan-exclusive model from the QUEST series, designed after studying the wave conditions in Japan. The board has just the right amount of buoyancy, making it quick to paddle and catching lots of waves, making it a great model for lots of practice. Chucky, who looks up to Marc O'Clupo's power surfing, weighs 80kg. His surfing style, which makes the most of his weight, is one that I would recommend to anyone of a similar weight. Everyone! After your tablet, accelerate your surfing progress with this model! Now, here's the riding video! For those who cannot view VIMEO on their smartphones, etc. ↓ Please check out Luvsurf TV: YOUTUBE channel! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZAHPDBTnyQ

This video contains a series of lip actions from this 80kg giant. Chucky Rigano, who became famous in Japan for his TABLET riding video , He is a clerk at Mayhem Surf Shop, which I previously introduced in my blog , Chucky-san's funny excuse for being late for work was this email: It was posted on the LOST website, so I'd like to share it with you all. From: Chucky Rigano To: Mike Reola Subject: Late for work Sorry I was an hour late for work today. I was in Bali. Well I wasn't physically there, but I was dreaming that I was there. I've never been to Bali before in real life or in a dream….it was so rad that I woke up an hour later than usual. I was kind of bummed when I woke up though because I wasn't there long enough to drink a mushroom shake and surf Padang with Jimbo….hopefully I make it back there tonight. Chakkirigano to Mike Leora I'm sorry I'm an hour late today. I was in Bali so I was late. Well, it wasn't my body that went to Bali, I had a dream that I was going to Bali. I've never been to Bali, either in reality or in my dreams... The dream was so beautiful that I woke up an hour later than usual. I don't drink enough mushroom shakes, Jimbo ( 5'5" LOST DVD REDUX ) and I hadn't surfed enough in Padang, so When I woke up, I felt very disappointed... I hope I can go back there tonight... Chucky, you can't be late (lol)

Learn moreNew Luvsurf TV released! Lost "CONQUEST" "MAYHEM"
Luvsurf TV :LOST『CONQUEST』Matt "MAYHEM" Biolos Rider: Matt "MAYHEM" Biolos Board used: LOST 6'2" CONQUEST XTR PARALLEL-FLEX FILM & EDIT：TOKU-TOTAL VIDEO SERVICE On this day, Mayhem was finally free from his back pain and was surfing for the first time in about four weeks. Therefore, the paddle force is weaker than the many models sold in the USA. I want to ride the Conquest, which is incredibly easy to paddle and has a fast takeoff! This is a video of me riding when I said that. The board was a Conquest that had been stored to be sent to Japan, and I really wanted to ride it. He took it out of storage and went for a rehab surf. First, from 0:17 in the first run to 0:34 in the third run, he lightly glided along, checking the board's buoyancy, stance position, and movement. At 0:35 in the fourth run and 0:39 in the fifth run, he puts all his weight on the rail and carves turns with his whole body. At 0:44 in the sixth run, in a section that became muddy after takeoff, he stands upright, slightly bends his knees, holds the board down, and relaxes to get out of the mud. 7th video, 1:05: Mayhem paddles significantly less than the surfer on the red funboard at the peak on the right, yet he glides out and rides the wave. The surfer on the left notices Mayhem's quick takeoff and gives up easily. The man on the red funboard on the right appears on screen much later than Mayhem, and this scene really shows off the Conquest's takeoff performance. The eighth turn, at 1:12, was a power turn where the thick board was tilted well using the elevator wing. At 1:16 in the ninth jump, he swings the board up and down on the backside, also using the elevator wing. The 10th run, at 1:28, also confirmed the speed and ease of takeoff of the Conquest. The lighter kids surfing on the Goofy side I paddled at full speed and rode the wave, but even though it was the same wave, I only paddled three times. You're making the takeoff. The 11th ride at 1:36 was a double cutback after the wave got thicker after takeoff. Returning to Soup's power zone, Mayhem is back on track and hits two vertical lip shots in a row. The last 12th run, 1:51, was fast and after two lip turns he made a roller coaster. If this were a contest to finish, it would be a perfect ride that would get close to 10 points. When Mayhem came out of the water, he said the board was in good condition and he wanted it to be his own, so he asked not to have it sent to Japan.He put it on the rack of his favorite bicycle, and it has since been stored in Mayhem's family surfboard rack.

Luvsurf TV: Placebo “BLACK SHEEP” Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: Placebo 5'6" "BLACK SHEEP" FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM & EDIT：TOKU-TOTAL VIDEO SERVICE This is a riding video of the Black Sheep "FLEXLITE-TURBO" released by Placebo. If you look at this board from the front of the deck or bottom, it looks like a round nose fish at first glance. It's just an outline, but if you look closely you'll see that The nose outline is a sharp point nose and the previous round nose model. It has a rounded nose outline design that is somewhere between the round UBERFISH model. The tail is a sub-scorcher line that extends to the tip of the Super Swallowtail, The back foot on the tail gives you 1:19 control, which is different from a FISH board. 0:38 It responds and moves just as sensitively as a standard board. You can see the distinctive movements of the BLACKSHEEP model in this video. And what is particularly noteworthy is the rebound of FLEXLITE-TURBO. The speed at which the board is riding seems to stop at 1:28. You immediately transition into a turn and continue riding. Now pay attention to the acceleration of the board as it goes up and down. The 2:00 ride is incredibly fast thanks to the FLEXLITE-TURBO. This is due to the built-in carbon rebound effect. The BLACKSHEEP model functions as an intermediate between the FISH board and the standard board. Because it is a board designed for beach breaks, the board is short, The takeoff was also quick, with an easy speed of 0:19 and 0:57. This design is recommended for those who want to surf well and always feel at ease with a board that they are familiar with. YouTube is here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzISsApZeKY
