Formula-1 Q&A
What size Formula-1 should I get?
We recommend your regular shortboard volume. Comparing …Lost’s stock dims, a Formula-1 is about the same length as a Driver 3.0 of the same volume. The round tail comes in Pro dims from 5’4 (22.25 L) to 6’6 (37.75 L) and Bro dims from 5’8 (27.25 L) to 6’8 (42.00 L). The squash tail comes in standard dims from 5’4 (22.75 L) to 6’6 (37.50 L), Bro dims from 5’8 (27.70 L) to 6’6 (39.65 L) and Grom dims from 4’8 (16.40 L) to 5’6 (24.25 L). …Lost bases the standard “Pro” dims on average body types and the “Bro” dims on Cole Houshmand’s personal boards.

Should I get the Formula-1 with a squash tail or a round tail?
…Lost says the squash tail brings the smaller-wave game into play for the Formula-1: its added surface area extends the board into smaller, softer waves while still holding in good waves.
What fins does the Formula-1 use?
The Formula-1 is a thruster, and we stock it with FCS II or Futures boxes. The template to look for is a raked, drive-oriented fin. FCS’s official …Lost fin guide pairs both the squash and round tail with the FCS II Mayhem Driver Tri (Small, Medium, Large). 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. Futures’ own picks for the Formula-1 Round are the R6 Blackstix (a rake template) for small or soft waves, the Mayhem 3.0 (Small, Medium, Large) (also rake, Matt Biolos’ signature template) all-around, and the John John Florence Techflex (Small, Medium, Large) (a neutral template) for big or powerful waves. Futures sizes its fins as Small 95–135 lbs, Medium 125–175 lbs and Large 165 lbs and up.
