Shane’s version of a fish, or junk wave board. Originally shaped as a 5′3″ for Shane’s young son Noah by former …lost Shaper and pro surfer Noah Budroe. The board features a wide, forward outline with round forgiving rails, flat deck and a wide “rocket” tail. The rocker is extremely low in the entry (for instant speed) with an exaggerated kick in the tail for tight arcs out of turns.
This board actually has as much tail rocker as any board in our line. Coupled with a deep concave throughout and straitened stringer line, the board is a small to average wave all-rounder. It can be effectively ridden 4” to 10″ shorter ,1/4″ thinner and just slightly wider than your normal short board, without sacrificing any of the carve or drive.
This thing has to be ridden to be believed.

During the filming of 5’5” REDUX, the RNF and RNFQ were radically redesigned in ’07. Features a new narrower nose than in the last few years, and a longer flatter rail rocker (with a more pronounced concave) through the middle of the board. Also with flipped tips in the nose and tail, to vee in the last 6” of the tail and most notably a deep single wing set far back into the outline. The deep wing (influenced by MR’s vintage twin fins) adds more control to the high speeds generated due to the deeper concaves and faster bottoms.
The narrower nose frees things up for more radical pocket turning without sacrificing drive off the front foot. Quads are a great opportunity to get the same free and loose feel of a twin but have added holding power and drive, allowing for harder turns and a wider range of performance in more varied surf. Enjoy playing with a multitude of fin setups and positions for different feels in different conditions. A fun and functional update to the …Lost Classic. Round Nose Fish Quad

This year we simplified the Shark into one very flexible model that comes standard with a 5 fin placement choice for a 1 board quiver. Still a board designed for average surfers in junk surf and meant to be ridden 2-4” shorter and 1” wider than your typical board.
It features a wide tail and a full curvy nose outline, a very shallow concave from center through the front fins to a double concave vee behind the back foot. Double wings make for quick release direction changes without sliding. This year we have introduced the dbl wing round pin tail, this extends the functionality of the board into larger, faster waves without sacrificing small wave speed and looseness.
Great small wave board for average ability surfers. Guys like Ryan Carlson and Shane Beschen rip on these boards and Ward loves to take them out into Tahitian barrels. Features the original SHARK’S low entry rocker with flat deck and full steep rails for built in speed and stability. Works great in broken up surf and mushy walls. Paddles fast and makes you look good.

Conceptually it’s not a fish or a shortboard… but something in between. Features a flat deck, steep rails and an outline with a wide pointed nose and centered wide point. Concave bottom through the guts of the board with a volume neutralizing spiral vee behind the fins create speed and control simultaneously. The tail is a winged swallow with the inner point hollowed out (creating the gull wing shape) to allow more water release in turns and give more control at high speeds (allowing a faster, flatter rocker that still turns easily).
This board has everything you need to compete with crowds and modest surf, yet allows radical surfing and direction changes. Comes standard with five FCS fin plugs and can be ridden as a thruster, quad or even five finer. Tested thoroughly at overcrowded, mushy Trestles by overweight guys with much success and given a real working over by Wardo.
Ride 2”- 4” shorter than a typical shortboard.

Redesigned “proformance” shortboard for ‘06! Drawing on influence from many WCT surfers and the shapers who’s boards they are riding, we created a board that can meet the demands of the very best, while still being user friendly to the masses. Obvious changes are the square rails in tail area, rounder rails forward and increased nose kick in forward 12″. The WCT features a narrower “hip” area between the feet in the outline and a blended drawn out rocker with more tuck further back in the rails than our other shortboard models. It has the ability to hold in and turn critically in larger waves w/o riding a larger board. The concaves are more pronounced and drawn further back into the tail than in the past. All these features give the rider a board that has “no surprises” and feels fast and drivey in 3′ slop yet holds in and performs in well overhead waves. Comes in squash and rounded pin tails.

The Pros custom order board of choice. The majority of our team has been using whiplash’s for most of their surfing. This years version features our trend towards a deeper concave set further back into the tail. Built for precision, tight radius, high speed, spontaneous surfing. The mind set behind this board was “anything not needed, take out”. Low volume (but boxy) rails, vee deck, elliptical outline (No hip or bump in the tail) with narrower nose and tailblock combined with an aggressive rail rocker in the tail make this the most sensitive and responsive board we offer. Not recommended for below average surfers, but for the guy who wants to elevate his performance to the highest level. Performs best in curvy waves of any size. The Round tail has been a growing favorite for the WQS and WCT surfers coming to us for boards.

The CHRIS WARD PRO MODEL is a Hybrid of the WHIPLASH and SD-II. It was designed to handle Chris’s power surfing in weak to average waves. It’s basically a Whiplash with 1/2″ cut off the nose and the tail and added width throughout. It takes the Whiplash’s precision and quickness and makes it more responsive to power surfing in smaller surf (It doesn’t get over powered by hard turns in weak waves). It still has the Whiplash’s low volume (but boxy) rails for sensitivity - but slightly wider nose, tail and overall dims- and less rocker (because of the cut down nose and tail) for quick recovery from rail burying turns. Great for anyone who loves the performance of the Whiplash in good surf but wants something more for the junk (or simply wants the ultimate in small wave power and flow).

Best for solidly built, lead foot and rear footed surfers (down the line air guys dig them as well). Designed as an equalizer for intermediates looking to compete for waves with the hotshots, it has speed and float in everyday surf without giving up much maneuverability. Excels in mushy broken up or slopey drawn out surf. Features a flatter deck with overall low drivey rocker. Conservative shallow concaves neutralize the volume and create a smooth down the line ride with built in speed. (Ride1-2″ shorter and a touch thinner (or not) than your normal board.) Comes in squash, or wide round tail. (Which tends to be more versatile as the surf gets overhead).

(A true hybrid) Designed specifically for average surfers in small surf (what we surf most) who don’t want to ride a “fish”. It excels in junk where most would normally ride a fish . Thus, the name “SHARK” We blended the deck, rails and outline (adding even more width to the nose) of the SPEED DEMON, the very low entry rocker of our old TRI FISH, and the loose turning tail rocker of the SD-II into a wide nosed, fast paddling, built in drive, easy turning Carnivore that can catch anything in its path. The SHARK tends to excel in flat faced crumbly surf and mushy point breaks. Not recomm short board and go have fun in waves you would usually leave for the groms.

(Round Nose Fish Quad) NEW for ‘06 Taking our Flagship fish and updating it to hold 4 fins was a breeze. We simply cut 1″ off the tail (Increasing the width and making room for the fins) of the original RNF, re foiled the rail and stringer rockers accordingly and viola’ . The RNF-Q! Rather than a thruster (which rides and drives so much differently than a twin) Quads are a great opportunity to get the same free and loose feel of a twin but have added holding power and drive, allowing for harder turns and a wider range of performance in more varied surf. Enjoy playing with a multitude of fin setups and positions for different feels in different conditions. A fun and functional update to the …Lost Classic.
