Only a few RE-LOADED PLACEBOs left! The reason they're selling so well is because they not only offer paddle and take-off capabilities that rival those of longboards, but also controllability that's beyond what you'd expect from a CL rating!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Everyone who rides it is surprised to learn that the PLACEBO "RE-LOADED" not only has paddle and take-off performance that rivals that of a longboard, but also has control that allows it to move in ways you wouldn't expect from its CL value! The 6'4" and 6'6" sizes are already sold out! Only 6'2" left! The reason the PLACEBO "RE-LOADED" has been selling for so long is that it offers a great balance of stability for surfers returning to surfing or those switching from longboards to shortboards, as well as excellent control for veteran surfers in small conditions at crowded points! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Q-Yb07a44&list=TLGGfTAKLPJyrFkwOTEyMjAyNA As you can see from the video, the paddle and takeoff performance is outstanding, something you wouldn't expect from a board of this length! This is the best model for always crowded spots such as Shonan, Ichinomiya, and Isonoura! Many people are concerned and ask, "Can I do a dolphin-through?", but the answer is "Yes, you can!" Of course, it has less buoyancy than a high-performance model, and the resistance caused by the buoyancy is stronger and more difficult to use than a model with a pointed nose, but depending on the conditions, this will make up for the increased paddling speed and reduced number of times you dolphin, so it's not a problem at all! Not just with "RE-LOADED," but surfing is not just about enjoying the dolphins, so when choosing a surfboard, be sure to prioritize the paddle and take-off performance that suits you, as well as the performance once you're on the wave! [ap_show_item 370022] Surfing is all about riding the waves, so the RE-LOADED PLACEBO, which lets you ride lots of waves, will be your ultimate companion! Even during the crowded summer peak season, you can ride the waves and improve your skills while having fun! For a model description of PLACEBO's "RE-LOADED", click here!

As you all know, at the World Tour event in Sacréma, Brazil, The final heat between the two men from the Lost surfboard team was amazing. In the finals, Cole Houshmand and Griffin Colapinto Cole's power surfing outshone Griffin's and he won the competition. Griffin was in a position to win if he landed an air, but he couldn't land the air he flew. Cole's first run was a 9.4 point power lip, but he couldn't overturn that high score. Cole was declared the winner. However, Griffin, who came in second, rose to sixth place in the rankings. He has risen in the rankings and is close to making it to the final five, so I'm looking forward to his next match at J-Bay in South Africa. On the women's side, we were unable to reach the final. Caroline Marks and Erin Brocks both made it to the semi-finals, finishing in third place. The 2025 Lost Surfboards team's performance on the world's top World Tour is outstanding. Jordy Smith, who ranked 5th, also rode a LOST surfboard! https://youtu.be/OYESHQ2KiNo
