New Luvsurf TV released! Placebo “ZEKE2.0” FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE2 Koji Nishii

Luvsurf TV: Placebo “ZEKE2.0” FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE2 Koji Nishii Rider: Koji Nishii Board used: Placebo 5'5" ZEKE2.0 32.0cl FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE2 FILM&EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM. This is a riding video of Nishii riding Presebo's new 2020 model, the 5'5" ZEKE2.0 32.0cl. The Flexlite construction of the PLACEBO surfboard This is a collection of riding videos that show how flexible surfing can be while fitting the waves. Flexlite construction is a unique surfboard technology in the world that no other moldboard manufacturer can imitate. It has been developed through daily research into flex to make PLACEBO surfboards easier to ride for surfers of all levels. It fits the waves flexibly, Flexlite construction provides speed, Check out the smooth wave riding performance. Compared to the previous FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE, FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE 2 has the following advantages: It has a new structure (NEW technology) that makes it more flexible and has a stronger spring back! This "ZEKE2.0" is an updated model of the previous model "ZEKE." Two updated designs! ``1'' All fins are FCS2 fins, making it a 5-fin system. This means that you can now set up your FCS2 fins as tri-fins or quad-fins, which was not possible with the previous model. The "MR TWIN + 1", which is recommended as the best match for the "ZEKE2.0", can be installed! "2" Two channel bottoms! These two channels are mounted at the very rear of the tail, Speed ​​performance is improved by forcing the water flow out backwards. It is designed to allow you to surf faster than the previous model ``ZEKE'', which did not have two channels. The biggest difference between this model and the older "GOBLIN" series, which it is often compared to, is its improved drive performance. The board outline of the "ZEKE" series is different from that of the "GOBLIN" series. The outline of the center of the board has many long straight sections, It allows for more extended, larger drive turns. The takeoff is fast, but once you get on, it's slow and heavy, like riding a monster board with foam. If you're struggling with the feeling that something isn't quite right, we recommend you try installing the 'MR-TWIN+1' on the 'ZEKE2.0' and riding it. You'll be able to surf comfortably! The traditional model concept of the series, "ease of paddling and quick take-off", has also been improved. Check out the takeoff scene in this riding movie! https://vimeo.com/435005454 "ZEKE2.0" special website https://www.luvsurf.co.jp/model/40854/

Limited to 4 models! LOST GRIP set available for purchase with 100,000 yen of grant money!

Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. Have you received the 100,000 yen subsidy provided by the government yet? We are currently running a special campaign where you can purchase a surfboard with LOST traction pads attached for just 100,000 yen (tax included) on four LOST & PLACEBO models only!

The EVIL TWIN-JP can be enjoyed with five different fin settings and is particularly effective in small to medium waves. It comes with a special single fin and small center fin made by US FUTURE, so you can attach your own FCS II side fin to enjoy a variety of riding sensations! For a detailed description of the model, click here! https://vimeo.com/368974852 I've been using the DIABLO series and have improved my skills, so I would recommend the UBER DRIVER-JP to anyone looking for sharper movements. The LOST UBER DRIVER, which is often used by LOST competitors in beach break competitions, has been given a little more volume to suit the weaker waves in Japan, making it an easy-to-handle, high-performance model for intermediate surfers looking to step up their game. For a detailed description of the model, click here! The winning model "ZEKE" was used by professional golfer Nishii when he won the California tournament last year. While the fastest paddling and take-off performance in PLACEBO history tends to grab attention, the straight outline provides excellent drive, and the deep single concave on the bottom lifts the surfboard, resulting in less water resistance and more agile maneuverability. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdrNHYtJ7CQ The fact that Pro Nishii actually won the competition speaks volumes about the sharp maneuverability of the ZEKE! Click here to purchase the ``Surfboard & LOST Grip Set'' for 100,000 yen (tax included)! If you've been forced to refrain from surfing due to the state of emergency declaration and your physical strength has declined, or if you've found your wetsuits to be lighter, or if you're looking for a surfboard to step up your game, Love Surf always has 200-300 of the best surfboards in stock, so come and check them out at our Love Surf physical stores and Love Surf web store!

I rode it again!! PLACEBO's ZEKE2.0 is in great shape!

Again, I'm riding a PLACEBO 5'5" ZEKE2.0 FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE2 Check out Nishii's surf photos! Nishii rode the previous model of this board, "ZEKE," I remember winning the Japanese surf contest in California in 2019! For Nishii, it was the "ZEKE" winning board! This "ZEKE2.0" is an updated model of the previous model "ZEKE". Both are operated by elevator wings. It's great that a thick board can move like a thin board. What has been updated to version 2.0? There are two main ones! The first one is, All fins are FCS2 fins, making it a 5-fin system. This means you can now use your FCS2 fins in a tri-fin or quad configuration, something that wasn't possible with the previous model. Of course, it can also be used with the MR TWIN + 1, which Nishii and Hiroki recommend as the best match for the ZEKE2.0 ! The second one is, It's a two-channel bottom! These two channels are located around the end fin at the very rear of the tail, where the most resistance is created. This reduces drag when water hits the fin and forces the water out of the board, improving speed. It's designed to let you surf faster than the previous model, the ZEKE, which didn't have two channels. One more thing to know is that the big difference between this and the older "GOBLIN" series, which is often compared to it, is that "Improved drive performance." The board outline of the "ZEKE" series is different from the "GOBLIN" series. The board has a long, straight outline in the center, It allows for more extended, larger drive turns. This is the secret to why the ZEKE2.0 recommended by Nishii and Hiroki works so well with the MR TWIN + 1. The board's outline allows for big, driven turns, but the fin setup also allows for agile, tight turns, making it possible to surf in a wide range of conditions, from big to small, from small waves to head-sized waves, allowing the rider to control the size of their turns as they wish, regardless of the wave conditions. We recommend the 'MR TWIN + 1' for the 'ZEKE2.0'!!
