Who - The Lost 3.0 Stub Driver is a direct derivative of the long time developed, but recently released, Driver 3.0, designed with elite level surfers looking for the “UltimateDriving Machine”. If you’re passionate about performance surfing, riding performance surfboards...and tend to do so in average to sub-par surf, then the Lost 3.0 Stub Driver is for you.
When - The Lost 3.0 Stub Driver is a stepped-down and “stubbed”, low end/high performance, smaller wave-ripping machine. Fitting more effortlessly into small pockets or quick dumpy sections than the Sub Drivers, it is perfect for small beach break.
What - Primarily tested in and around the waves of the World Tour (not necessarily the typical 1’-3’ soft slop that most of us suffer through daily), the Lost Driver 3.0 still left room at the lower end for higher performance in lesser waves. Unlike the Lost Sub Drivers (our other step-down performance boards) Lost 3.0 Stub Driver does not use any vee in the tail. Instead, it features a continuous rocker/concave combination. This is the primary difference between the two. While noticeably relaxed from the Lost Driver 3.0 rocker, it is still loose and lively, quick and easy to release, under the rear foot. The similarities in rocker, bottom contours and outline, maintain a closer feel, when switching between the Lost Driver 3.0 and Lost 3.0 Stub Driver. That was the goal of Lost and that is the result. Working with Kolohe, who after riding Lost Driver 3.0 in proper surf, wanted to feel like he was riding the same board out at T-Street, or small Trestles. Riding Lost Sub Drivers “felt almost stiff”, so he wanted a board that required no adjustment to technique and could swapped seamlessly back and forth with the Lost Driver 3.0. “Why not just make a step-down board off of that?” Which is exactly what Lost did. They got them under the feet of our WQS crew: Crosby Cola, Cole Houshmand, Eli Hanniman and Michael Dunphy, who immediately responded with positive feedback and now carry in their small wave, Challenger series, arsenal. Designed to be ridden just 1” shorter than a Lost Driver 3.0 and the stock dims reflect that. Ex: If you ride a 6’0” Lost Driver 3.0, the 5’11” 3.0 Stub Driver should slide in perfectly. Together they make for a perfectly paired duo of modern, high performance vehicles.
FEATURES: ...When compared to the DRIVER3.0
• Relaxed entry rocker, with a slightly wider nose area.
• Relaxed tail rocker, with a slight hip and wider tail block (but not as wide
as the SubDrivers.)
• More width overall, with thickness carried further into the nose and
under the rear foot.
• Deeper single and double concave combination, for more lift, with plenty
of rail curve, in lesser surf.
• Slightly flatter deck, with soft, forgiving rails.
