Based off the past 25 years of board building, we tried to create a consistent (and dare say better) surfboard, faithfully based off, but not necessarily exacting to the varied RNF of 1996. With diligent testing being done by many of our top team, including Kolohe, Coco, Ian Crane, Crosby Cola and other \"guests\" (and even pedestrian testing by myself) in the last few months of 2020, we are very confident that the RNF-’96 will perform at and above expectations, as an all-around, rip-able fun machine, for a wide level of surfers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","products":[{"product_id":"lost-round-nose-fish-retro-revamp-surfboard-fcs-ii","title":"Lost RNF Retro Revamp PU\/Poly 5'5 Surfboard - FCS II","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5'5\" x 20\" x 2.37\" 30.65L\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lost Round Nose Fish Retro launched in 2018, The \u003cem\u003eRNF_RETRO\u003c\/em\u003e was Lost's spin towards a more classic, almost 1970’s inspired, fish. Generous dims, low rocker, flat deck, steep rails and wide tail, made catching waves and speeding along, easier than any fish we’d ever designed. They set the \u003cem\u003eRNF_RETRO \u003c\/em\u003eapart from the endless schools of fish, was the use of a snowboard inspired design element, \u003cem\u003ereverse radius side-cut\u003c\/em\u003e, in the outline. Matt first used side-cut, in our “Pelagic” model, a decade or so earlier. Side-cut outlines are nothing new in surfboards, San Diego pioneers like Mirandon and Caster had used them for ages. The Lost team feel the sidecut enables a flat rocker’d and generally parallel outlined board, to turn sharper and retain speed in tight radius turns. They “lock in” to the wave face and carve, off the rail, without sliding out or digging. The \u003cem\u003eRNF_RETRO\u003c\/em\u003e uses not one, but two side cut radius’. One between the feet, starting just behind the wide point and another, shorter\/tighter one, right under the rear foot, in place of a hip, or wing. They believe this outline lends the \u003cem\u003eRNF_RETRO\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea truly unique ride in a sea of relentlessly similar “fish”.

The tail rocker hangs lower in the rear third of the board, but then swoops up quickly, though the fins, creating more curve under the rear foot without actually adding rocker. Up front, we did the opposite and took a more direct route to the nose, cutting out some of the curve in the forward 1\/3rd of the board. At the same time, we eliminated the slight forward vee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese rocker adjustments allow for a more modern, dare say, vertical, approach, with a forgiving feel under the back foot, for more precise pocket turns, without catching the nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe carried the thickness foil further forward, adding more paddle power, ease of entry into waves and front foot drive, to balance the now more curvaceous tail rocker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinally, we deepened the double concave that runs through the back half of the board and the vee thats already in the tail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese advancements on a proven design have slowly evolved though 5 yrs of production and custom orders, but have never been implemented into our public program….But now they have.

Plainly put, most fish since this time were and are more predominately influenced by kneeboards. Inspired from early 70’s style, Lis inspired, wide tail, parallel outline kneeboards that transitioned well to stand up surfing in small waves, but have battled to come near peak performance of modern shortboards ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur fish was always about performance, not just a crutch to go fast on in small surf. The RNF-’96 brings the best of both worlds together: Reverence for its early vanguard pedigree, while enlightenedly enhanced with 25 years of fun\/pro-formance enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRocker curves: Remain engrained to the original proven curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutline curves: Both nose and tail were usually the same width at 12” and remain true, but with more precision, including added curve and width around 6” from the tail. One “secret” about the original’s success was that, unlike most all other “fish” the tail width on ours was closer to that of a typical HP Shortboard. This allows much more control off the tail than typical fish designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom Contours: The classic single concave to double concave, accelerating vee combination are defining design elements and hold true to adherence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thickness Flow, Deckline, Rails, and Tail Foil: They were all over the map in those rudimentary hand shape days. Each board was different, with most of them having noticeably different curves and thickness from one rail to the other. In re-creating these boards, which one is correct? In the end, I went with gut feeling on what would work best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the sake of better surfboards, we've taken a touch of liberty. Based off the past 25 years of board building, we tried to create a consistent (and dare say better) surfboard, faithfully based off, but not necessarily exacting to the varied RNF of 1996. With diligent testing being done by many of our top team, including Kolohe, Coco, Ian Crane, Crosby Cola and other \"guests\" (and even pedestrian testing by myself) in the last few months of 2020, we are very confident that the RNF-’96 will perform at and above expectations, as an all-around, rip-able fun machine, for a wide level of surfers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost","offers":[{"title":"5' 8","offer_id":43220375404605,"sku":"292109","price":740.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/1902\/9309\/files\/rnf_96er_9_9b856dc1-83eb-4749-9e2e-f353fbf64795.jpg?v=1779819983"},{"product_id":"lost-rnf-twinzer-96er-double-dart-eps-54-surfboard-futures","title":"Lost RNF Twinzer ’96er Double Dart EPS 5'4 Surfboard - Futures","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5'4\" x 19.25 x 2.33 27L\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe latest incarnation of our definitive fish design, the RNF ’96—enhanced with our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTWINZER+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efin cluster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased off the RNF-’96, a 2021 re-vamped version of our original 5’5” Round Nose Fish (developed 30 years ago), it’s been our best-selling board of the past five years and arguably the best-selling “fish” model of all time.
