Who - The ...Lost Mini Driver is for surfers who normally ride performance shortboards and want one short, wide board that handles a wide range of waves. First built for Kolohe Andino in 2011, it became a favorite of hardcore surfers including Mason Ho.
When - It excels in small, punchy beach breaks, head-high and larger point breaks, and just about any size reef break. Plenty of planing area makes it work in average waves, while the foiled pin tail holds when pushed hard in punchy, solid surf.
What - A Driver cut down in the nose: short and wide with plenty of planing area, low-ish entry rocker, and soft, forgiving rails, finished with a foiled, rounded pin tail, modest rocker, and a not-too-wide nose. The re-issue keeps the original curves, with tuned rails and foil and an updated size range.
Lost Surfboards MINI-DRIVER
The Lost Surfboards Mini Driver is a high-performance shortboard designed for surfers who want explosive speed, control in powerful waves, and surprising versatility in everyday conditions. Originally developed from the DNA of the iconic Lost DRIVER model, the Mini Driver takes performance design and adds extra planing power for a wider range of surf.
Shorter and slightly wider through the outline, the Lost Mini Driver surfboard delivers fast acceleration, quick rail-to-rail response, and confident hold when the waves turn on.
Who
Built for intermediate to advanced surfers who normally ride performance shortboards but want one board that handles more conditions. If you surf aggressively, attack the pocket, and demand speed through turns, the Mini Driver is designed for you.
What
The Mini Driver blends added width and planing area with a refined round pin tail and balanced rocker profile. The result is easy speed in average waves, combined with the hold and control needed for punchy beach breaks, hollow surf, and overhead conditions. It feels playful when the waves are smaller — and serious when the surf gets critical.
When
The Lost Surfboards Mini Driver excels in waist-high to overhead waves, especially in punchy beach breaks, lined-up point waves, and solid reef surf. It’s the go-to board when you want high-performance capability without sacrificing versatility.
