2018 BEST SELLING SURFBOARDS

Best Sellers of 2018

At the end of every year, comes time for reflection. So, in this post we thought we would take a look at 2018 and lay out our best-selling surfboards of the year.

Models

Lost

In the first quarter of 2018 Lost released their new models and two in particular took off. With the revival of the fish in the past year or so, it’s no surprise that the RNF Retro took number one as our best-selling surfboard online. With its ability to make sub-par waves a delight to surf and also handle solid surf so well; this board has a little something for everyone. While the PU version of this model did the best, we were stoked to see that the RNF Retro in C4 did well in the back half of this year when it released. The RNF Retro has become a mainstay of the majority of the Catalyst employees as well, we can’t get off of it either!

Coming up next is the Uber Driver. With the Proformance series being as popular as it already is, the Uber Driver did strong all year. The market for a performance board that can rip in small waves is as high as it’s ever been and the Uber Driver proved to work fantastic in that category. Combine that with Lost’s Carbon Wrap Technology and this board is the definition of a daily driver.

Honorable Mention:

Psycho Killer(number one custom ordered board of 2018 for catalystshop.com)

Puddle Jumper series( HP, OG, Fish)

Firewire

2018 was an interesting year for Firewire. The top selling Firewire board, for us, was the Seaside, which was not officially released until the end of the year. Again, referencing the extreme revival of the twin fin. The number of Special Orders combined with the in-stock boards sold online topped all other Firewire online sales within two months! Because of this, the Machado SS Quad crushed it online as well. We sold through all 15 sets we initially got within a few days. Right behind the Seaside is the LFT Cymatic. From that video of Kelly surfing the 5’3 at Sunset back in March, everyone wanted to put their feet on one of these. Those that put the money down for it, were pleasantly surprised.

Honorable Mention:

Evo

Baked Potato

Greedy Beaver
