NEW LOST SURFBOARDS ARE IN!!!!!!!!

There is a strange similarity between Christmas morning and unpacking new surfboards. Even though the new boards are not mine it still feels pretty good to rip those boxes apart and check out all the new creations that Matt Biolis of Lost has sent our way. The 2011 line looks amazing and we've got a few of his latest creation along with some tried and true Lost shapes.

First up is The Black Sheep. Lost combined two of their most popular designs putting a Sub-Scorcher tail on the Rockets nose. What came out is the driviest, on- rail carving, hybrid stub we have ever made. Featuring the exact nose outline, rocker and foil that made the Rockets so fast, smashed together with the Sub-Scorcher’s wide tailed, flat rocker to vee combo. The rear outline and rocker both become straighter than the Rocket, allowing this board to fly across flat gutless waves in a way the Rocket couldn't for many surfers. The vee lends control and smooth rail-to-rail transitions, and "Super Swallow" tail allows some bleeding off of speed and adds bite, encouraging hard turning. For any one who wished the Rocket was easier to ride in junky waves, but didn’t want to add volume or go to a more "grovel" board design, this is your answer. Designed with double concave, ”exacta deck” (first used in our Placebo line a few years back) in the tail, to mimic that “magic board”, locked in feeling for your back foot. Because of the low tail rocker and tail shape this board works well as a Thruster or quad.

This is the new UBER PLANK and it's a refined, more high performance version of “The Plank". Never one to leave well enough alone and influenced by the feeling of burying a snowboard rail 90 degrees into soft powder, Matt went to work fine tuning The Plank into a small wave, on rail, carving Machine. Same rocker and foil, but with updates in bottom curves and outline to increase performance. Wing "Squallow" (swallow set into a squash) tail adds bite and increases precision. Nose tip is pulled to reduce un-needed volume, swing weight and quicken up turns. Bottom now features single concave set into a rolled Vee through middle, increasing lift at low speedswhile still being easy to roll onto a rail for hard carves in the smallest of waves.

We also got got a restock on the tried and true Motivators and Rockets!!! Two of the best boards EVER. Steve and I will be singing their praises for years to come. Ride a Motivator, ride a rocket, you'll be stoked!!!!! Come on in and check them out, we've also got the new 2011 catalog for you take home and drool over!
