The 5'8 Lost Puddle Jumper Pro '26 takes the easy speed of the Puddle Jumper and stretches it toward a shortboard. Matt Biolos lengthened and narrowed the Puddle Jumper, pulled in the nose and tail and added nose rocker, so it keeps the skatey small-wave feel but holds longer, more critical carves and snaps. Fins are not included.
Puddle Jumper Ease, Shortboard Performance
The PJ Pro uses a forgiving, football-shaped outline that is fast but free under your feet. Nose rocker is raised closer to a performance shortboard while the low tail rocker is kept for speed. A deep single-to-double concave with vee in the tail gives it horsepower and control, and the extra rail length lets it hold a line when the waves have more push.
