Learn moreWe have received feedback from Cyborg Nancy, who has had her hip prosthesis for a year and a half!
We recently received feedback from Nancy, who purchased a PLACEBO 6'2" RE-LOADED DURA-FLEX! She is a veteran female surfer, but had been unable to surf for a long time due to an injury. In order to resume surfing, she consulted Nishii about a board and chose the PLACEBO 6'2" RE-LOADED DURA-FLEX. Here's the feedback! I've been on a surfboard four times. This was the perfect board for me as I can only surf small waves. My feet are still not stable enough for takeoff, but I'm happy that I can practice again and again. Last Monday, I was in the studio next to Masato Yukawa, a professional photographer, who was filming. The photographer, Harada-kun, took some photos of me slipping around a little, Pro surfer Masato Yukawa also watched the long ride I took right after I entered. I'll do my best to ride more and more. After all, it's been four and a half years since my ankle fracture, three and a half years since my femoral neck fracture, and three years in a row of hip surgery, so I feel like I'm finally getting back on track. I want people who feel the same way as me to ride this board! I want to convey that the board really makes a difference! It's been a year and a half since I had my artificial hip joint! You can still enjoy surfing even with an artificial hip joint! It's Cyborg Nancy! Thank you so much!! A model for revival! PLACEBO 『 RE-LOADED 』DURA-FLEX The ease of riding has been proven!

Learn moreMust see! ▪️Explanatory video by Placebo's "RE-LOADED" designer, "MAYHEM"
▪️Check out the explanatory video from Placebo's " RE-LOADED " designer, "MAYHEM." The new model from Presebo is the "RE-LOADED." The reason we decided to design the " RE-LOADED " is because we wanted a wider range of surfers to ride it. "RE-LOADED" comes in two sizes: 6'2" and 6'4". The 6'2" is 22 inches wide, 3 inches thick, and has a CL of 45.5 liters. I think even I could enjoy this 6'2". And the 6'4" is 22.5 inches wide, a little over 3 inches thick, and has a CL value of 49 liters. This one seems better for me. I guess this one is for switching from a longboard, Surfers who ride beginner softboards, longboards, funboards over 7 feet, and retro-style boards often want to switch to standard 6-foot boards, but they don't want to suddenly switch to high-performance boards with pointed noses. The "RE-LOADED " is perfect for those needs. "RE-LOADED" means to bring back the passion of riding a shortboard. The funboard-style nose design has a gentle rocker that tapers towards the nose, and the grab rail allows for dolphin-through even on boards with considerable buoyancy. The RE-LOADED tail is based on the V3ROCKET double bumper rocket tail and is sure to be a joy to ride. The center-to-back has a longboard-like outline that allows for performance-style turns, and the center -to-front has a longboard-like outline that lets you catch waves like a longboard, but the Reloaded is only 6'2" or 6'4" long, which is closer to shortboard length. The Reloaded will seamlessly transition you from a 9-foot longboard or 7-foot funboard to a shortboard. For surfers who have stopped surfing for a few years, for example, getting married or starting a job and stopping surfing for a few months or years, this is the board for you if you want to get back into surfing and don't want to ride a longboard or funboard, but want a shortboard anyway. This "RE-LOADED" falls into the shortboard category. The board is over 3 inches thick, but because of the tapered rails it feels like it's about 2.5 inches when you hold it, so you can surf using the rails properly rather than just sliding along the face of the wave. By combining this rail with a double bump and rocket tail, It's surprisingly easy to lip. You can hit the lip and do roundhouse cutbacks, so it's definitely fun. Not only can you take off, but you can also do shortboard surfing. The RE-LOADED is a Flexlite, so it's a great step-up board. You can start surfing again with this board, use it for a few months or years, and sell it for a high price because the Flexlite is strong, and then you can step up to a higher performance model. The Flexlite construction of Presebo surfboards makes them strong and one of their attractions is that they retain their value better than surfboards made from other materials.

The simple, rounded, wide thumb tail, a global trend in surfboard design, allows for smoother rail work and easier turns, improving the series' unique all-around rideability. The board's fast paddle speed and stable takeoff, inherited from the original, dramatically increase the number of waves you can catch. The deep bottom concave allows this high-buoyancy surfboard to move as nimbly as a thin surfboard, enhancing flow and speed. The updated rocker and rail design further refine the Placebo surfboard's unique balance of gliding and maneuverability. Of course, it also features a dolphin grab rail for easy dolphin-throughs.
