Shredtastic!!!!!

Ankle high perfection at Sunrise! Brian Nevins

Snowboarding is SO MUCH FUN!!! I had a great morning session up at Gunstock with our good buddy Dean. My Skate Banana was shredtastic and Dean is all fired up on his new Lib Tech T. Rice C2. Although it was pretty damn cold we got 2 and a half hours of fun shredding in. The park was closed for improvements but what they had up all ready looked really good. Lots of good jumps and a nice little rail set up. Gunstock is the local choice, reasonable tickets and no crowds. Hopefully I will get another shred session in next week, if anyone wants to ride let me know! So stoked on the shred!!!

So the other day I posted a quick little picture of the new Lost board called the Plank. After doing so we got a handful of calls at the shop from people looking for more info on this board. At this point we are up to three Plank custom orders and we also added 3 more Planks to our spring stock orders. So because of all the interest I thought I would tell you a little more about this board.

The Plank was inspired by a knee high day at Trestles. Matt Biolis borrow a friend's Simmons twin keel and was amazed that he could ride a board that small in surf that small. He created the Plank to avoid the use of a longboard. The Plank is very wide has parallel rails with no concave. He wanted insane glide but also wanted to be able to turn the board so he kept the rocker very flat except for in the tail where he put some healthy kick so that you can rip turns in knee high waves. He claims it is extremely fast and maneuverable in waves that normally require the use of a longboard. The standard dimensions on a 6'0 would be 22 x 2 1/2 full. So in a nutshell this board is similar to a retro fish in flaot but more like a modern shortboard in performance. Matt Biolis guarantees that you will not be disappointed with one of these boards and after being named shaper of the year I am going to trust him on this one...

Custom order your Plank now and you'll be rippping cutbacks around all the folks riding retros, fishcuts, and other breakfast sandwiches this summer. Lost... no one does it better.

Don't fear the STOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
