Introducing recommended models at the LOST & PLACEBO Stockboard Fair!

The "LOST & PLACEBO Stockboard Fair" is being held for a limited time until September 22nd. Today we will introduce our staff member Kohei's recommended LOST model. The first one will be LOST's "ROCKET REDUX"! The ROCKET REDUX is a modern updated version of the ROCKET, which sparked a mini board boom around the world and sold explosively, more than 10 years later. https://vimeo.com/433800910 The ROCKET REDUX delivers rocket-like acceleration with sharp action that you wouldn't expect from its plump, rounded outline! https://vimeo.com/432553580 This model allows for tight maneuvers, as the surfboard responds well and moves exactly as you want it to, even in conditions where there isn't much shoulder space! Click here to find out more about "ROCKET REDUX"! The second one is ``RNF-RETRO''! If you ride it short and with just the right amount of flow, you can get performance board-like action, and if you ride it long and with overflow, you can get takeoff and paddling performance that is equal to or better than a mid-length board around 7'0, allowing you to ride the waves you want even in crowded waters.This is a model with great potential! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=PSFPpZ1BKVM&feature=emb_logo Fish boards are so popular these days that you can almost see them at the beach! At first glance, the RNF-RETRO has a wide San Diego fish design, but MAYHEM has designed it to deliver high performance in the LOST style! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olcuHqk2ZFc&feature=emb_title The RNF-RETRO has the appearance of a modern and beautiful vintage board, but the size and fins you choose will allow you to experience a variety of flavors. It's no wonder it's based on the classic "Round Nose Fish." Click here to find out more about RNF-RETRO! The third one is ``RNF-ULTRA''. For genuine shortboarders, mid-length skis are too heavy, difficult to move around in, and difficult to carry and store... This is also based on LOST's well-known masterpiece "Round Nose Fish," and adds length without increasing the CL value. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA1PgoIdk_Q&feature=emb_logo The RNF-ULTRA is designed for Japanese surfers over 45 years old, rather than for heavy surfers from overseas. The longer length ensures a longer rail line, giving you a smooth cruising feel and extended turns. https://vimeo.com/335563453 The Round Nose Fish, which is already well-known for its paddle and takeoff performance, has been lengthened without changing the CL value. This ensures safe take-off from swells and allows for ample, wide turns to carry the rider all the way to the inside! Click here to find out more about RNF-ULTRA! The "LOST & PLACEBO Stockboard Fair" will be held until September 22nd, and you can get a surfboard and wetsuit with a total gift value of up to ¥28,000 + ¥45,000 = ¥73,100! Don't miss it!

Thank you everyone for purchasing our new LOST "CALIFORNIA TWIN" Polyester Made in Japan Quality!

Mr. A, You have chosen LOST "CALIFORNIA TWIN" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He has ordered many custom boards in the past, but when he visited our store the other day he was so impressed with the quality of the finished LOST Made in Japan Quality boards that he purchased a ``RAD RIPPER'' on the spot.He then visited our store again and purchased the ``MR CA-TWIN'' 5'11'' that he had his eye on last time. Mr. B, You have chosen LOST "CALIFORNIA TWIN" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He had been riding high performance boards and short boards for small waves up until now, but felt that a slightly longer board would suit him better, and this time he wanted to try a slightly longer fish board, so the ``MR CA-TWIN'' and ``RNF-ULTRA'' were his candidates, but after much deliberation he decided on the miraculous collaboration model ``MR CA-TWIN'' 5'10, which he will be riding. Mr. C said, You have chosen LOST "CALIFORNIA TWIN" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He used to ride LOST a lot, but recently he's been riding boards from other brands, but after hearing good things about the latest model he wanted to ride LOST again. He was debating between the "RAD RIPPER" and the "MR CA-TWIN," but this time he wanted a board that wasn't his main choice, but something different from what he'd had before. He decided on the "MR CA-TWIN" 5'10. Of course, the one riding it was the father of the child in the photo. Mr. D, You have chosen LOST "CALIFORNIA TWIN" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He's been riding his RNF-RETRO well, but it's starting to show some wear from frequent riding, so he came to consider a board one size up. He looked at different sizes of the RNF-RETRO, but he'd recently seen Nishii riding a CALIFORNIA TWIN at the beach in Chiba, so he thought a different model would be more interesting than the same board in a different size, and he purchased it. He also made a reservation for the FCS2 MR TWIN +1 fin, which is currently out of stock. Mr. E, You have chosen LOST "CALIFORNIA TWIN" Polyester Made in Japan Quality. He had been interested in this model for some time. He came to the store after work, expecting that the bike he had been eyeing, which had arrived in store before the four-day Silver Week holiday, might sell out. He is a veteran rider who also rides LOST's DRIVER series models, and decided to purchase the CALIFORNIA TWIN, as the outline design of the bike seemed easy to ride. Everyone! Lots! Brand new! LOST "CALIFORNIA TWIN" Polyester Made in Japan Quality Thank you for your purchase!

There are only a few left! If you're looking for the ZEKE2.0, a lethal weapon for small and thick waves, hurry up!

The latest addition to the well-known PLACEBO small wave model series is the ZEKE2.0. A high-performance model that is a great ally for surfers who use it in conditions where it is thick and difficult to break. The ZEKE, which was released last year, boasted the fastest paddle and takeoff performance in the series, but the ZEKE 2.0 is even more powerful! Compared to previous models, a little more volume has been added to the nose area, allowing the center of gravity to be positioned further forward, and the tail end is equipped with two channels that create acceleration as if it had a turbo! The advantage I felt when riding this model is that it not only has a fast take-off, but also accelerates without me having to do anything after take-off. By picking up speed, it allows for light and agile movements that are unexpected from its outline, allowing the surfboard to move exactly as the user wants, allowing for long rides! [ap_show_item 40952] Even with long-term use, which is unique to PLACEBO, it does not get sunburned, and is more durable and less likely to break than POLYESTER surfboards, so it will always stay in the same condition as when you first purchased it, which is why it is so popular! [ap_show_item 40945] There will be no restocks, so if you miss out on the current stock, you won't be able to get it again! If you are unsure about purchasing, we recommend you make your decision soon! Everyone, have you registered any Love Surf friends on LINE?
