CUSTOM ORDER SPEED DEMON

Who = Who should be riding this model

What = What this model is about

Who - The …Lost Speed Demon is for intermediate, advanced and pro surfers who want speed above all else. It came out of shops asking …Lost for a small-wave, speed-specific shortboard that anyone could ride: something you can just stand on and go fast.

When - Small, sloppy and lackluster surf, like summer slop around San Clemente. It is built for sessions where making speed is everything and the waves have little push.

What - Shaped by Matt “Mayhem” Biolos with design direction from Kolohe Andino and his father, Dino Andino, the 2025 Speed Demon takes its name from an original mid-1990s …Lost model developed with Dino. Kolohe asked for a board that sits between the Ripper, Rad Ripper and Sub Driver, with the wide tail of the Rad Zapper but a more normal look and feel: no beak nose or double-bump tail, and normal rails. …Lost took the Rad Zapper’s speed features (a deep double concave that hooks into the rails, flat tail rocker and an extra-wide tail) and toned them down into a more modest package, with a wide squash tail and a 5-fin setup you can ride as a thruster or quad. As Kolohe put it: “if I can get speed, I can turn.”

Speed Demon Q&A

What size Speed Demon should I get?

We recommend a touch more volume than your regular shortboard, since the Speed Demon is a small-wave board. It carries that volume in a shorter, wider outline: comparing …Lost’s stock dims, a Speed Demon runs about 2" to 3" shorter than a Driver 3.0 of the same volume. Stock sizes run from 5’4 (18.25" x 2.20", 23.50 L) to 6’6 (21.50" x 2.80", 42.75 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 Speed Demon use?

Every Speed Demon we stock has five fin boxes (FCS II or Futures), so you can ride it as a thruster or a quad. The template to look for is an upright, pivot-style fin. FCS’s official …Lost fin guide pairs the Speed Demon with the FCS II Mayhem Pivot Tri (Small, Medium, Large). FCS classes the Mayhem Pivot as a Reactor-family fin: a more upright template with less sweep (rake), built for speed and tight turns, and suited to lower-rocker boards. Add the Mayhem Pivot quad rears (Medium, Large) to run it as a quad. FCS sizes these fins by weight: Small 120–155 lbs, Medium 145–175 lbs, Large 165–200 lbs. Futures hasn’t published a Speed Demon pick. Its matching template is a Pivot fin (tight turns, quick), such as the P-series Blackstix (P4, P6, P8). For the Puddle Jumper Pro, a similar 5-fin …Lost small-wave board that FCS also pairs with the Mayhem Pivot, Futures’ own picks are the F6 Blackstix (a neutral template) for small or soft waves or the Mayhem 3.0 5-Fin (Medium, Large) (a rake template) all-around. Futures sizes its fins as Small 95–135 lbs, Medium 125–175 lbs and Large 165 lbs and up.

How is the Speed Demon different from the Rad Zapper?

…Lost took the speed features it developed on the Rad Zapper, a deep double concave, a flat tail rocker and an extra-wide tail, and toned them down into a more normal outline with normal rails. …Lost describes it as normal rails and normal size, but wider and faster.
