The Lost Formula 1 is a world championship-proven round pin shortboard built for advanced surfing in powerful, punchy waves. Originally shaped for Julian Wilson and revived under the feet of 2025 World Champion Yago Dora, this is the board you reach for when conditions demand commitment.
WHO
The Formula 1 is built for surfers who already know how to surf — and want to push further.
- Advanced intermediates ready to step up their performance in more demanding conditions
- Experienced surfers who need a dedicated board for powerful, hollower waves
- Competitive surfers and serious hobby surfers looking for a world-tour-tested shape
- Surfers who prioritize drive, bite, and precision over forgiveness
- Anyone who finds their everyday shortboard running out of grip or control in heavier surf
If you're comfortable in overhead-plus waves and want a board that rewards commitment and generates speed from the front foot, the Formula 1 is built for you
WHEN
The Formula 1 earns its place in the quiver when the waves have real consequence — overhead to well overhead, with power behind them. It shines in hollow, fast-breaking surf where a round pin tail's added bite and control make the difference between holding your line and getting washed. This is not a board for gutless or mushy days; it's shaped for conditions where you need your equipment to keep up with you. Hawaii's reef-heavy lineups with punchy, shifting peaks are exactly the environment this board was designed for.
WHAT
The Formula 1 is a direct descendant of Julian Wilson's original F1 template from the early 2010s — the board he used during his dominant years on tour — rebuilt from the original shaping file and merged with elements of the current Driver 3.0. Compared to the Driver 3.0, the F1 sits further set back in both outline and rail-line rocker. The nose is narrower at the 12" and 24" marks, with the wide point positioned further back and more curve through the hip. The tail is wider under the rear foot with more outline curve and a clearly defined pin in the last few inches — giving it more bite and connectivity than the Driver 3.0's rounder tail. A thick centerline with a vee deck tapers to rails that are slightly fuller and more forgiving, while added nose rocker and reduced tail rocker create a board that initiates quickly from the front foot and finishes sharp under the back.
The bottom contour runs a noticeably deeper single concave into a purposeful double concave all the way through the rear fin cluster. That combination generates lift and speed across a broad range of turn types — from long, driving carves to tight, committed bottom turns — without sacrificing the round pin's characteristic hold in critical sections. The result is a board that feels fast and lively underfoot with precise, high-radius finishes when it matters most.
