It features noticeable elements from the purist (mostly San Diego influenced) evolution of wide, split tailed \"Fish\", and smashes them together with much of what we have learned in nearly 25 years of shaping and riding the RNF. First off, the tail is wide for that effortless glide and retro vibe. Coming in at over 10\" from tip to tip, and 4\" deep, it's the deepest and widest split tail we've released. The board prominently features a snowboard-esque, double side cut outline. Strongly influenced by years of snowboarding, and then seeing the boards of underground SD shapers like Mirandon and Caster, we first developed and released our double side cut on the \"Pelagic\" model, in the late 2000's. Like with a snowboard, the sidecut \"grips\" the riding surface and allows for more radical, tighter radius direction changes on wider, otherwise di cult to turn sharply, outlines and at rockers. The sidecut hooks into the wave face and turns surprisingly sharp, without the usual drift or skip or slip, associated with common wide tail sh shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\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”. After five years unchanged, it is still one of our most popular models, especially in areas plagued with small and soft surf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what Lost did for the \u003cem\u003eRNF_RETRO-Revamp’23:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoved the wide point slightly forward, for front foot drive, but gently narrowed\/pulled in, the forward 12”of the nose, to get it outta the way, in tighter turning situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeepened the rear side cut, for bite and control, right under the back foot and also added a hint of width to the tail block, for horizontal trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithout changing the tip or tail, we adjusted the rocker curves, both fore and aft. 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. Since most these refinements are subtle and often times even barley seen to the untrained eye, we decided to design a new logo, tints and sprays, to give the \u003cem\u003eRNF_RETRO\u003c\/em\u003e  a fabulously fresh, full re-vamp and makeover. The stock dims and volumes are still very close to the original.
