I immediately ordered the 4FIN Shark 5'8" SB model.
Takaichi, a videographer based in California for TABRIGADE INC, came to our shop to show us some footage from last week's trip to Rocky Point (Hawaii). The footage was astonishing, as we saw Shane Beschen surfing on a 4FIN Shark 5'11". Even on a Hawaiian wave of this size, Shane's surfing on the 4FIN Shark 5'11" looked incredibly comfortable, with smooth turns. Shane also rode Mayhem's RNF-Q, which also looked to be doing well! Watching the video made me want to ride the same Templet 4FIN Shark 5'11" that Shane uses, so I immediately ordered one. It's a board similar to the 4FIN Shark 5'8" SB model. Judging from the footage, it appears to be designed for the larger waves that are ridden in Hawaii, with thin rails, a narrow tail, and an on-fin design. Mayhem, get your shape up quick!

Today, we held a test ride event for the Presebo at Terasawa P with the staff and riders from Murasaki Sports Hamamatsu store. The photo is a commemorative photo. After the test ride, I got out of the water and looked at what the other fishermen on the same beach were catching, and it was crabs. And they had caught a lot of them! They said they were Echizen crabs, which have the same letter "H" on their shells. Apparently they taste good when fried. I was surfing above these crabs (on the surface of the sea)... Added on 12/3 Apparently, the official name for this crab is not Echizen crab, but Ecchi crab.

Introducing Presebo team rider Josh Buran. He is Joss Brown, a Californian and one of the leading young aerobatic surfers, who inherits the DNA of California's Pipeline Master, Joss Brown. He is a tall young man who came to Japan with Shane Beschen and wore a Cyber Wetsuit for the WCT contest held in Chiba last September. Some of you may have seen him in Japan then. He is sponsored by Monument Clothing, and you often see him in their advertisements. Please remember him.
Learn moreDesign in progress! New AUROLA Carbon Flex Fin 4.0
We designed an AUROLA fin with the shape of the red line. This fin is the center fin of a tri-fin. It is smaller than the FCS G-3000 but larger than the GX. The reason we designed this fin is because there are many people who clearly want to make their board move more lightly. A fin of this size has a good shape and is functional and moves lightly without impairing driving performance. It is also large enough to be used as two back fins for driving turns on the popular four-fin boards, so we will be testing it and aiming to commercialize it, so please look forward to it. (The fin with the black line is the center fin of the AUROLA Carbon Flex Fin 5.1)
