Evil Twin Q&A
What size Evil Twin should I get?
The Evil Twin is a relatively wide, high-volume, flat-rocker board, so ride it shorter and wider than your regular shortboard, with a tad more volume: we recommend 1 to 2 liters more. In …Lost’s stock dims that works out about 3" to 5" shorter than a Driver 3.0 of the same volume. For example, if you ride a 5’11 Driver 3.0 (28.50 L), look at the 5’7 (19.75" x 2.35", 29.75 L). Stock sizes run from 5’2 (18.50" x 2.25", 24.25 L) to 6’8 (22.00" x 2.85", 47.75 L). If you don’t know your volume, use the Volume calculator at the top of our …Lost 3D board builder: enter your height, weight, skill, fitness and the waves you surf, and it recommends a volume by board type, from shortboard to fish, hybrid and mid-length. Our shop staff can help you pick a size.
What fins does the Evil Twin use?
The Evil Twin is built exclusively with Futures fins and boxes: a long center box plus two twin boxes, and …Lost lists five ways to ride it. Single fin, solo, for minimalist point-and-glide, soulful arcs and long carves, lovely in lined-up point breaks; single with forward side bites, which engage with the e-wing and raise the performance level, especially in larger surf; twin fins, loose, quick and playful in small surf without the slidey surprises of wider-tailed twins; twin + trailer, Matt Biolos’s favorite set-up for this board, a locked-in twin with overdrive to carve with power in all sizes of waves; and thruster, using Futures’ rear thruster fin for the long box. …Lost worked with Futures on a 6.5" “Sinister Single” fin and a 3.5" rear trailer fin specifically for the Evil Twin, to combine with Futures’ twin-fin and side-bite options. For the twin + trailer set-up, the Futures Mayhem Evil Twin+1 (Medium, Large) is Matt Biolos’s own large-area twin with a trailer. Futures sizes its fins as Small 95–135 lbs, Medium 125–175 lbs and Large 165 lbs and up.
What is the e-wing on the Evil Twin?
An elevated wing, the board’s most unique feature. Matt Biolos was taught to shape elevated wings by Max McDonald, who developed them with the Campbell Brothers’ Bonzer designs, and …Lost has used them for a decade in its Japan-specific small-wave boards, making thousands across various models, before introducing them globally on the Evil Twin. The e-wing works with a parallel outline for lateral speed, then drastically reduces surface area in the tail to control and carry that speed into tight-radius arcs; positioned near the rear foot, it adds forgiveness, control and ease of roll to a relatively wide, high-volume, flat-rocker board.
How many fin set-ups can the Evil Twin run?
Five, all on Futures boxes: single fin, single with forward side bites, twin, twin + trailer and thruster. …Lost says each offers a unique approach to recreational wave riding, from minimalist point-and-glide on a single to a “terrorizing thruster” with Futures’ rear thruster fin in the long box; twin + trailer is Matt Biolos’s favorite.
What waves is the Evil Twin for?
It depends on the fins: as a single fin it is lovely in lined-up point breaks, as a twin it is loose, quick and eternally playful in small surf, with side bites it steps up in larger surf, and as a twin + trailer …Lost says you can confidently carve and surf with power in all sizes of waves. The wide forward outline and low entry rocker glide effortlessly, and the deep double-concave vee and rounded pin balance speed with control.
What constructions does the Evil Twin come in?
We always stock the Evil Twin in PU (poly), Light Speed II and Black Sheep Built, and we have also stocked it in Light Speed, C4 and Carbon Wrap. Each in-stock board on this page lists its construction. All constructions are available for custom order through our …Lost 3D board builder.

The EVIL TWIN. In addition to its convertible, multi-fin, adjustability, the most unique feature is its elevated “e-wing”. I was turned on to (and taught to shape) elevated wings by Max McDonald. Max developed them in conjunction with the Campbell Brother’s Bonzer designs. Over the last decade we have used e-wings exclusively in our Japan specific line of small wave boards, with great success,literally making thousands of them, across various models. Now, for the first time, we are introducing e-wings globally. The elevated wing works with parallel outlines, allowing increased lateral speed, then drastically reducing surface area in the tail, to control and carry the speed into tight radius arcs. They create hyper extended rail rocker, which rolls into the wave face easily, engages and holds in turns. Positioned near the rear foot, e-wings add forgiveness, control, and ease of roll, to relatively wide, high volume, flat rocker boards.
The EVIL TWIN Features:
• MR inspired Flat deck, and steep, tucked soft, rails, combined with a shallow single concave through the center.
• Low tail rocker, with deep double concave vee, which works with the rounded pin tail, to balance speed with control.
• Wide forward outline, with low entry rocker, that glides effortlessly.
Built exclusively with Futures fins and boxes, the EVIL TWIN offers a myriad of performance options, each offering a unique approach to recreational wave riding:
• Single Fin, solo: For minimalist point and glide, soulful arcs and long carves. Lovely in lined up point breaks.
• Single with forward “Side-Bites”: Adding a bit of pump and slam to the single fin jam. The Side-Bites engage with the e-wing and raise the performance level. Especially in larger surf.
• Twin Fins: Loose, quick and eternally playful in small surf. Free flying fun without the slidey surprises of wider tail twinnies.
• Twin + Trailer: Locked and loaded twin fin with overdrive. Confidently carve and surf with power in all sizes of waves. My favorite set up for this board.
• Thruster: For all you “Pro-Formance” peeps. Futures offer a rear thruster fin for the long box, which turns the EVIL TWIN into a Terrorizing Thruster.
We have worked with Futures to develop both a 6.5” performance “Sinister-Single” Fin and a 3.5” Rear-Trailer Fin, specifically for the EVIL TWIN. Use them in conjunction with any one of Futures’ readily available Twin Fin and Side-Bite options, to create the ultimate transformational fun machine kit… and expand your horizons beyond your wildest dreams.
