WHAT WE SAY ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The original Lost Round Nose Fish was ridden to fame by Cory Lopez and Chris Ward in the classic video, 5'5" x 19 1/4". This RNF is an exact replica of one of Cory's boards from the film, except for the FCS fin set-up (Cory's had glassed on fins with an FCS trailer).
The world's all-time best selling fish model. During the filming of 5'5" REDUX, the RNF and RNF Quad were radically redesigned. After working with and watching so many team riders using these boards over the last year, changes were bound to happen. The nose has gotten wider again, and more conservative overall rocker and less concave make for a board that will hold speed in flats and produce harder, longer carves. A longer, less pronounced, vee in the tail gives a more predictable feel out of turns, and a straighter outline adds drive and hold. The deep wing, influenced by MR's vintage twin fins, adds more control of high speeds and better bite in snaps and out of carves. It still paddles great, still makes you look good, but the updates allow harder, more powerful carving turns and a wider range of performance in more varied surf.
Matt Biolos began shaping surfboards at Herbie Fletcher Surf Shop fresh out of high school in 1987. He made his first surfboard at this time and called it a "Ratz Ass" like in "I don't give a .....". His second surfboard was labeled "Mayhem" named after his high school punk band- obviously not taking things very seriously. This name, for better or for worse, stuck. Matt shaped 20 boards the first year. Not too many people were ordering boards from Matt yet, so to make money he continued to sand surfboards and began to paint wild designs on them along adding a handwritten ...LOST wherever he could.
