LOST MINI DRIVER

The Lost Mini Driver is Matt Biolos's take on one board that can do it all — engineered with the same demands he puts into Lost's pro-level comp shapes, then scaled down into something short, wide, and genuinely fun to ride. It's built to handle everything from an average, punchy beach break session to a serious point break barrel without asking you to change boards in between.

WHO

The Mini Driver is built for surfers who want performance shortboard feel without needing perfect conditions to enjoy it.

  • The advanced surfer who wants one board that performs in everything from average beach break to a solid point break, instead of swapping boards for every session
  • The high-performance rider looking for extra foam and forgiveness without giving up drive or hold
  • The competitive or comp-minded surfer who wants a true pro-formance shape they can also ride every day
  • The intermediate surfer ready to step up from a wider, more forgiving hybrid into something with more bite and control

This is a board for surfers who want one shape that keeps up no matter what the day brings.

WHEN

The Mini Driver is built to work when conditions are average just as well as when they turn on. Its low-ish entry rocker, extra width, and generous planing area let it catch waves early and hold speed through soft, punchy surf that would leave a narrower performance shortboard struggling. When the swell fills in, the foiled, rounded pin tail and tighter tail rocker take over — locking into the pocket and holding through solid, hollow conditions at reef breaks and point breaks. It's the board built to go from an average day to a genuinely good one without a board change in between.

WHAT

The Mini Driver started life as a wider round-pin version of Lost's Driver, shortened up front — the nose trimmed down and the tip reshaped — to create a shorter, wider outline that keeps plenty of paddle power and a fast, low entry rocker up front. Out back, the foiled, rounded pin tail carries a modest rocker that stays locked in when the pace picks up, and five fin boxes let the board be set up as a thruster for control or a quad for extra drive and speed depending on the day.

To balance those performance-oriented tail refinements, the board carries more width and volume in the forward section. The nose outline is slightly wider, and the foil is thicker along the stringer line — which means the paddle is strong and the wave entry is forgiving without softening any of the tail's responsiveness. The round tail is wide and confidence-inspiring under the rear foot, with just enough pull-in at the tip to hold through critical, committed surfing. PU construction gives the board the traditional flex, feel, and weight that high-performance shortboarding has been built on for decades.

CONSTRUCTION OPTION

Lightspeed II: Lost's S-Glass and Innegra composite epoxy construction — a fully carbon-free layup engineered for a lighter build and smoother flex than earlier composite technology.

FIN CONFIGURATION

5-Fin. Fins not included.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Should I ride the Mini Driver as a thruster or a quad?

The Mini Driver comes with five fin boxes, so you can set it up either way depending on what you want out of a session. Running it as a thruster (3-fin) gives you more control and hold in solid, punchy surf — the classic setup for critical, hollow conditions. Switching to a quad (4-fin) speeds the board up and makes it looser and more playful through open faces, better suited to softer or less powerful days. Plenty of riders keep both setups in rotation and swap based on the forecast rather than picking one and sticking with it.

Is the Mini Driver only for advanced surfers?

It's built with a high-performance mindset, so it rewards a surfer who already has solid technique — an advanced surfer or a strong intermediate who's ready to generate their own speed and commit to rail-to-rail turning will get the most out of it. It's not the easiest board to learn on, since the tighter tail rocker and pulled-in pin tail ask more of the rider than a wider, more forgiving shape. If you're still building fundamentals, you'll likely have more fun on something with a fuller outline first, then grow into a board like this.

What size Mini Driver should I order?

Sizing depends on your weight, your usual board dimensions, how you surf, and where you're surfing. Contact us directly and we'll help you dial it in:

When you reach out, include your current board dimensions and volume, the construction you're considering, the type of breaks you surf most (beach break, reef break, point break), how often you surf, and your location — location affects shipping options and helps us give you accurate delivery information.
