Updated to FLEXLITE-TURBO specifications by MAYHEM!
Yesterday, the last shipment of Placebo stock boards of the year arrived. Among them, there is only this one model, Placebo's revival model has been updated to FLEXLITE-TURBO specifications by MAYHEM and is now in stock! This model was discontinued in the Presto FLEXLITE specification. We have received many inquiries from unique surfers. The revival version of the surf skate model FLEXLITE-TURBO has arrived. We will announce it on the 24'S blog first! We only have 10 in stock: 5 4'10" and 5 5'0". Very! Very! Very! Only a small number of these have arrived, making them an extremely rare and highly prized model. This surf skate model is difficult to find even in the second-hand market. Don't miss this opportunity! Skateboarding on waves... This is a category we're introducing for the first time in the world. Surfskates allow you to perform skateboard-style tricks and rail surf the wave. The low rocker gives the board instant acceleration upon takeoff, giving it the speed to easily execute tricks. The symmetrical nose and tail provide increased control when landing nose-first in reverse, increasing the potential for fakie, reverse, and subsequent tricks. The extremely short length allows for tight, vertical turns and the ability to turn hard, even in small waves. The deep concave between the fins evacuates water from the tail after a trick, providing speed and stability. The rail concave carved into the deck not only makes grabs easier, but also allows for more reliable flip tricks. It's also capable of performing tricks in small, shallow waves, transforming knee-to-waist wave sessions into a blast of fun. Designed by Rick Rock with input and feedback from development rider Josh Slay, Mayhem has updated the FLEXLTE-TURBO version to create the ultimate surfboard/skateboard. Josh has already landed countless skate tricks on this board in the waves. The possibilities are endless with these Surfskates. Retro fish are a thing of the past, but the boards of the future are here. Placebo “SURF SKATE” FLEXLITE-TURBO/FCS/3FINS ¥128,000 tax included *Sizes were corrected on November 5, 2012.

Learn moreLOWERS size up for a video shoot session!
Today's LOWERS. The waves at LOWERS, which had good quality yesterday, have gotten even bigger. So it's time for a video shoot session! The board Nishii uses is the LOST ``F1-STUB'' model. Nishii's riding was photographed by Murasaki Sports rider Hidekazu. He came yesterday as well and is a good surfer who only rides for a short time and then calls it a day. Of course, the most popular and most commonly seen surfboard in San Clemente is LOST surfboards. Hidekazu-san, Kei-kun, who is off school, His father, Masaki, also appeared in "SUB-DRIVER" LOST's exclusive videographer, Noah, also joined in the video shoot session! The waves are good so it's crowded today. This is Bethany Hamilton. Nishii arrived at LOWERS beach by bicycle at 9am, and on the way there he passed her and exchanged greetings. It gets light around 6 o'clock, so I thought she had already finished one round, but when Nishii finished her round and got out of the water, she walked back to the beach and started surfing again. I was impressed by how hard she was working given her handicap. Nishii also filmed the people who participated in the video shooting session. The waves were good today so we were able to get some great footage!
Learn moreOrder a "DRIVER" tint color stock board!
Today at LOST Surfboards, We'll start writing lots of stock boards on the order form! USA staff member SHAW not only manages Luvsurf USA boards, but also the boards at LOST headquarters. The "WHIPLASH-TB" model has also been gaining a lot of popularity recently! Julian's board. This board will be on display in Love Surf around the end of October. The orange and blue are tint colors that are mixed into resin and then glass laminated like this. This is a newly completed point nose, but it has plenty of buoyancy and is safe for even heavy riders. These are two custom-order boards of the popular "SUB-DRIVER-JP" model, a high-performance board sold exclusively in Japan. I ordered a tint color design stock board for the "DRIVER" model, combining these colors. It has a resin color design, but it will be lightweight. West swells have started to come in and the waves are getting bigger at LOWERS Nishii test rode the "DRIVER" model and felt a comfortable sense of buoyancy even at 5'9". The outline is basic, but the unique MAYHEM shape gives it a cool look. The "DRIVER" has excellent buoyancy and runs very well! This model is also popular and we have received many inquiries.

Luvsurf TV:Placebo 5'8"『FISHQUEST 2』Hiroki Shirakawa Rider: Hiroki Shirakawa Board used: Placebo "FISHQUEST 2" FLEXLITE-TURBO FILM: Kouji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM Love Surf team rider Hiroki Shirakawa, who previously rode a 5'6" size, recently tried out the 5'8" size for a test ride and says that the FISHQUEST2 runs better with the 5'8" size. The bottom is equipped with a Babeld edge and a VEE bottom that is about 1/4 longer than the tail end. And now, many surf brands, such as Samsung, both domestically and internationally, have copied the design, which is an original Mayhem design. This is because the elevator wing effect allows the buoyant board to move and be controlled with ease. The FQ2 is an easy board that allows you to bring out the best in its performance when ridden with great buoyancy. It has a fast takeoff time, so you have plenty of time to take off, turn 360 degrees, and then start running. The lip will also rise at a sharp angle if you step on the tail! I was always in the crowds, riding the wrong board and not being able to catch a wave. Even if you catch a wave, many people have trouble with their board stalling and shortening their riding distance. The FQ2 is a recommended model for those who want to enjoy surfing with the help of buoyancy. Now, let's take a look at riding FISHQUEST 2, where you can see the incredibly fast takeoff and extended turns! Luvsurf TV:Placebo 5'8"『FISHQUEST 2』Hiroki Shirakawa from Luvsurf TV on Vimeo .

Learn moreWhat is the square black mark on this Lost and Presto?
What is this black square mark on Lost and Presto? I have received this question repeatedly, so I will explain it. This mark was created by Luvsurf and commissioned by MAYHEM. This mark is placed on surfboards that are responsibly imported and sold officially. Unlike the Lost & Placebo surfboards sold in the US and other countries, the materials used and the board design are This is a safety mark that is only found on boards that are specifically designed for Japan. That's why it says "MAYHEM" TUNED FOR JAPAN. The word "LAS OLAS" written on this mark means, This is the name of the company that operates Luvsurf. Las Olas means surfers in Spanish! This safety mark is also on the lost and placebo boards you use. I think there are some, so please take a look.
Learn moreSorry for the wait, here's the J.W. riding video for "DRIVER"
Luvsurf TV: MAYHEM "DRIVER" Julian Wilson Rider: Julian Wilson Board used: MAYHEM "DRIVER" FILM: Kouji Nishii EDIT: TABRIGADE FILM We've kept you waiting for a long time. Here is a collection of riding clips of Julian Wilson, the 2012 US-OPEN winner. The LOST/MAYHEM board he was riding in front of the large crowd was the DRIVER model. In line with the wave quality of HB, which is not good at all, JW's board choice was the high performance MAYHEM DRIVER, which has been given buoyancy. Apparently, the idea is to take off as quickly as possible and turn as many times as possible, even if it's just the first time, in order to gain speed and fly in the air section. The DRIVER model is the driving force behind the cool surfing that never gets boring, incorporating air into normal riding almost every time. See the quality of the distance and speed of rotation as the front and back sides rotate vertically and horizontally.
