It is featured in the Japan-only model of LOST&PLACEBO.
We will explain about the "Dolphin Grab Rail".
The grooves on both rails of the deck of Japan-exclusive model boards from LOST and PLACEBO make it easier to grip the rails when dolphin-throwing.
There are other benefits too!!
(Try applying some wax as shown in the photo to improve the grip.)
・No grip strength required = no fatigue.
- You can do a deeper dolphin dive, which means you can get out quickly and easily.
-Even thick or buoyant boards can be easily sunk.
that's why!
Older surfers who are losing their grip strength,
For female surfers with small hands and weak strength,
The rails are very easy to grip and have been well received!
The "Dolphin Grab Rail" makes a big difference between having it and not having it.

LOST "DIABLO-X"
LOST "EVIL TWIN-JP"
LOST "RNF-REDUX"

Be sure to try out this Japan-exclusive model equipped with the Dolphin Grab Rail!
Other manufacturers often have grab rail grooves from nose to tail to make it easier to grip when airing, but this increases the surface area and creates a longer depression, which makes the board less flexible.
For LOST and PLACEBO, Mayhem Design has calculated the shortest length possible for each model to preserve the board's flexibility, even down to the precise mounting position. This grab rail requires a lot of work from the shaper, glasser, and sander, so it takes extra time to make, but when
placing a custom order , you can also add this "Dolphin Grab Rail" to models that don't come with it as standard. If you're looking for a
custom order, please consider it!
