Round Up Quick Facts
…Lost Round Up quick facts
| Brand / shaper | …Lost Surfboards, Matt “Mayhem” Biolos |
|---|
| Based on | The Rock Up, …Lost’s step-up, reworked after custom-order clients said the Rock Up was “great in serious waves, but too gunny for all but the most powerful and hollow days” |
|---|
| Board type | User-friendly step-up |
|---|
| Best waves | Head-high and bigger hollow, powerful waves; it “comes to life in even modestly above average surf” and no longer needs heaving, day-of-the-year surf to perform |
|---|
| Built for | Everyone who wants a step-up they will actually ride: “Everyone should have one” |
|---|
| Tail | Softer, rounded pin (the Rock Up’s pin tail with width and curve added in the last 24") |
|---|
| Design | The Rock Up’s rocker, foil and forward outline, with added width and curve in the tail for a far more free-wheeling, playful board that still excels in solid surf, and a raised rail apex that makes the rails slightly fuller and more forgiving, adding some volume so it feels closer to the rails of an everyday board; built for high-performance rail surfing and tube riding, controlling speed and holding critical lines |
|---|
| Fins | 5-fin: ride as a thruster or quad (FCS II or Futures boxes). Best template: raked, drive-oriented (FCS Carver family; Futures Rake). Try the FCS II Mayhem Driver Tri, with the Driver quad rears for a quad, or the Futures Mayhem 3.0 5-Fin. |
|---|
| Stock sizes | 5’4 to 6’8 (23.50 L to 41.00 L) |
|---|
| Sizing | As a step-up, longer than your everyday shortboard; the raised rail apex adds volume, so at a given length it carries a little more foam than a Driver 3.0 |

Round Up Q&A
What size Round Up should I get?
The Round Up is a step-up, so ride it longer than your everyday shortboard; a common rule of thumb for a step-up is 2" to 4" longer, with the longer end for bigger, hollower days. …Lost raised the rail apex on the Round Up, which adds some volume, so at a given length it carries a little more foam than a Driver 3.0: the 5’11 is 30.25 L against the Driver 3.0’s 28.50 L. For example, if you ride a 5’11 Driver 3.0 (28.50 L), look at the 6’1 (19.38" x 2.53", 32.50 L) to the 6’3 (19.75" x 2.63", 35.00 L). Stock sizes run from 5’4 (18.00" x 2.25", 23.50 L) to 6’8 (20.50" x 2.77", 41.00 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 Round Up use?
The Round Up has five fin boxes (FCS II or Futures), so you can ride it as a thruster or a quad. Neither FCS nor Futures lists this model in its …Lost guide, so we go by both brands’ pick for …Lost’s performance shortboards; the raked template adds the hold a step-up needs in hollow, powerful waves. The template to look for is a raked, drive-oriented fin: on FCS II the Mayhem Driver Tri (Small, Medium, Large), with the Mayhem Driver quad rears (Medium, Large) for a quad. FCS classes the Mayhem Driver as a Carver-family fin: an elongated template with more sweep (rake), built for hold and longer, drawn-out turns. FCS sizes these fins by weight: Small 120–155 lbs, Medium 145–175 lbs, Large 165–200 lbs. On Futures, the Mayhem 3.0 5-Fin (Medium, Large) gives you the same rake template in a thruster-plus-quad set, or use the R-series Blackstix (R4, R6, R8) as a thruster. Futures sizes its fins as Small 95–135 lbs, Medium 125–175 lbs and Large 165 lbs and up.
How is the Round Up different from the Rock Up?
…Lost added width and curve to the tail in the last 24" and changed it from a pin to a softer, rounded pin; that added surface area and curve alone make it a far more free-wheeling and playful board that still excels in solid surf. The rocker, foil and forward outline remain as on the Rock Up, but the rail apex was raised, making the rails slightly fuller and more forgiving and adding some volume, so it feels closer to an everyday board. The result is a significantly more user-friendly step-up that comes to life in even modestly above-average surf.
What waves is the Round Up for?
Head-high and bigger hollow, powerful waves. It allows high-performance rail surfing and tube riding and makes it easy to control speed and hold critical lines, but unlike the Rock Up it no longer requires heaving, heavy, day-of-the-year surf to perform.
Why was the Round Up made?
As a reaction to repeated feedback from custom-order clients that the Rock Up was great in serious waves but too gunny for all but the most powerful and hollow days. Matt Biolos set out to improve that and was soon tweaking almost every custom-order Rock Up into a Round Up, which became its own model.
What constructions does the Round Up come in?
We always stock the Round Up in PU (poly), Light Speed II and Black Sheep Built. Each in-stock board on this page lists its construction. All constructions are available for custom order through our …Lost 3D board builder.
Can I custom order a Round Up?
Yes. Use the Custom Order Round Up button on this page, or open the …Lost 3D board builder directly, to design one: you choose the dims, construction, fin boxes, colors and art.
