Lost The Griffin

The Griffin by ...Lost Surfboards is a step-down performance shortboard designed for surfers who still want to surf fast and aggressively when the waves don't quite justify their standard high-performance board. Based directly on Griffin Colapinto's small-wave and pool competition boards, including the 5'10" he rode to victory at the 2022 Surf Ranch Pro, The Griffin brings competition-level performance into a more forgiving everyday package.

Rather than going excessively wide or flat like many small-wave surfboards, The Griffin stays close to the proportions of a traditional performance shortboard. A fuller nose and tail create additional planing area and forgiveness, while the more parallel outline helps the board carry speed and drive through weaker sections. The low entry rocker gets it moving quickly, while a curvier performance tail rocker gives you the response needed to turn hard and sharp when a section presents itself.

Everything pulls into a precise rounded pin tail, giving The Griffin control through committed turns while maintaining the smooth, responsive feel you'd expect from a performance board. The result is a fast, refined step-down that fills the gap between your dedicated small-wave board and your everyday high-performance shortboard.
