We have the popular LOST "SUB DRIVER 2.0", the best high-performance model for small waves!
LOST's No. 1 high-performance model, the "SUB DRIVER 2.0" is tuned to help you win even in small, rough waves! The wide tail area and the modest rocker along the stringer from the center to the tail make it easier to catch the wave's power and allow for faster takeoff. However, the rail rocker extends to the tail end, and the tail end has a V-bottom.The rail rocker creates a deep concave in the front fin and a V-bottom in the tail, making it easy to control the surfboard and allowing it to accelerate when you step on the tail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dL9Pxs7QK4 Compared to the "DRIVER2.0", the "SUB DRIVER2.0" is designed with more volume for high performance surfing in small waves, so we recommend riding it at a length that is 1 to 2 lengths shorter. Like the DRIVER2.0, the SUB DRIVER2.0 has the same length as the original PRO dimension but with an increased CL value (BRO dimension), making it easier to enjoy high-performance surfing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0BPNFG8Pcs Most sizes of the SUB DRIVER 2.0 are still fully booked and not available as stock boards, but miraculously, a few have come up for sale! First come, first served! LOST's "SUB DRIVER 2.0" is available here >>>!
Learn moreHurry! We're sorry to have kept you waiting, but our "New PLACEBO Summer Sale" is now on!
I'm sure there are many people who have been waiting for this announcement! The "New PLACEBO Summer Sale" has begun, where you can purchase the previous model of PLACEBO, which has been selling out rapidly, at an amazing sale price! The "RAD-DIABLO" FLEXLITE-LIMITED has already sold out... We still have the PLACEBO "RAD-DIABLO" FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE II, which is based on the best-selling LOST model "RAD RIPPER" and has been DIABLO-tuned to suit Japanese waves and Japanese people! It also features the semi-beaked nose, semi-flat deck, and semi-staped rails inherited from LOST's RAD RIPPER, and is further enhanced with PLACEBO's traditional elevator wing, providing excellent gliding performance and lift, allowing you to not only gain speed but also control the board with ease! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wELn-oHtjsM [ap_show_item 40977] The highly paddle-friendly PLACEBO "RAD DIABLO" is an all-round model in the DIABLO series that allows surfers of a wide range of levels to enjoy surfing in a variety of conditions. This is a highly recommended model! Boasting the fastest paddle and takeoff performance in PLACEBO history, the ZEKE is designed for shortboarders to enjoy even in the most adverse conditions where high-performance models are not possible. Compared to the performance model, it is wider and thicker, so you can ride it shorter and it moves nimbly even in small conditions with a slight shoulder, allowing shortboarders to surf the lines they envision! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUVDEjk6OTw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxK_7zerCSc The PLACEBO ZEKE has five different fin settings, allowing you to enjoy a variety of riding experiences depending on the fin setting, so it will never bore the rider and can be used in a variety of wave conditions. [ap_show_item 15469] The "UBER DRIVER-JP", which boasts the highest performance among PLACEBO models, is a Japanese custom version of the "UBER DRIVER", which is the shortest ride in the LOST "DRIVER" series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Or5jcSgHko With a beautiful, slightly voluminous outline and a slightly looser rocker than the DRIVER series, the PLACEBO UBER DRIVER-JP is a very easy-to-handle performance model that we would recommend to intermediate riders who have leveled up with the DIABLO series.

Learn moreThis is a must-read! Thank you very much to all the customers who visit and purchase from us every day. Love Surf has the surfboards and goods to make your surfing life the best!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. As we enter Japan's short high season, many surfboards and surf goods are being sent out to you every day. Love Surf always has 200-300 boards in stock from LOSTSurfboards and PLACEBOSurfboards, created by world-class shaper and surfboard designer MAYHEM, so surfers are sure to find a surfboard they'll love! During this time, surfboards, surf goods, apparel, etc. are sold in large quantities every day, so inventory fluctuates dramatically! Even when newly arrived items, such as popular new models, arrive in stores, there are various processes that must be done before they can be uploaded to the Love Surf web store, so there is inevitably a time lag... So it's not uncommon for surfboards, surf goods, and apparel to sell out before they even make it onto the Love Surf web store! If you live nearby or are considering buying a surfboard, come visit a Love Surf store and you might just find one of the popular models that has just arrived!!! Love Surf, run by professional surfer Nishii, who is the most knowledgeable about LOST & PLACEBO in Japan, is a place where all the staff look forward to welcoming everyone from beginner surfers to top pros.
Learn moreThere are only a few left of the PLACEBO "ORCA" that can be enjoyed by beginners and intermediate and above.
It's a global trend and various softboards are being released by various brands, but are you satisfied with them? The market is flooded with soft boards that are sold at low prices and have poor quality. After a few uses, water gets in and the board becomes heavy, causing the inside of the car to flood. I've used them a few times, but... I'm sure there are many surfers who have one sleeping in the back of their garage! You won't feel that way with PLACEBO's ORCA! It is made by shaping the EPS center stringer foam used in regular surfboards, glassing two layers of cloth with epoxy resin, then attaching a thin layer of bamboo on top, and then attaching a soft top on top of that, so it is completely different from a regular sponge board, and the strength and quality of the surfboard are both significantly different! The soft top of the deck surface is made of PVC rubber, so when it gets wet, the ORCA takes on a texture that seems alive, and it provides a smooth, non-slip grip even without the need for wax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h39-h6H2Dnk&list=TLGGvi5J2fFOhk8wMjA3MjAyMQ The trick to riding the PLACEBO ORCA Soft Top & Hard Bottom well is to load your weight firmly and ride on a wide line. This will allow you to take large, relaxed turns and ride gracefully! When you want to rip, step on the tail and put weight on your back foot to move lightly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K69Ue3aJTsk&list=TLGGBdKVvSuOEUwwMjA3MjAyMQ The shape design of the LOST ORCA model designed by MAYHEM has been redesigned. Even in places where there are no waves, the PLACEBO ORCA has a steep VEE at the tail, so if you step firmly on the tail you can easily put in rails and turn! Once you take off, it picks up speed easily, so you can easily perform most tricks, such as floaters! [ap_show_item 15455] PLACEBO "ORCA" Soft Top & Hard Bottom available >>>here!
