7'0 Lost Big Rig Driver Surfboard – High-Volume Performance Without Compromise
The 7'0 Lost Big Rig Driver Surfboard is built for surfers who want the paddle power and extra volume of a larger board without giving up the speed, control, and responsiveness of a true high-performance shortboard. Designed by Matt Biolos and inspired by Lost's proven Driver series, the Big Rig Driver scales up modern performance surfing for larger surfers, experienced riders looking for more foam, or anyone who wants to keep ripping without moving to a traditional mid-length.
At 7'0 x 21.25" x 3.03" with 48.2 liters of volume, this Big Rig Driver provides substantial flotation and wave-catching ability while maintaining the refined curves and bottom contours needed for powerful turns and rail-to-rail surfing. It is an excellent choice for surfers who want easier paddling and more glide while still riding a performance-focused board.

Big Rig Driver Design & Performance
Performance Shortboard DNA with More Volume
The Big Rig Driver takes design cues directly from Lost's Driver 3.0 and Driver 2.0 performance boards. Rather than simply making a standard shortboard thicker and wider, Lost developed the Big Rig to retain the responsiveness and precise handling expected from the Driver family while adding the volume needed for improved paddling, stability, and wave entry.
Relaxed Entry Rocker for Easier Paddling
A slightly more relaxed entry rocker helps the Big Rig Driver paddle efficiently through the lineup and get into waves earlier. Lost also adds extra fullness through the forward portion of the outline, creating more glide without turning the board into a bulky hybrid. Once you're on your feet, the rocker increases through the tail to maintain the turning capability expected from a performance shortboard.
Single-to-Double Concave Bottom
The bottom features a single concave through the majority of the board, with the deepest section positioned between the surfer's feet. A noticeable double concave develops through the fin area and beneath the rear foot. This combination generates lift and speed while helping the board transition smoothly from rail to rail through powerful turns.
Refined Rails and Responsive Feel
A thicker centerline carries the additional foam, while the rolled deck transitions into smooth, sloping rails that avoid an excessively boxy feel. The result is a high-volume board that can still engage the rail confidently through carves, snaps, and direction changes.
Squash Tail Versatility
The modest squash tail provides a versatile combination of hold, release, and maneuverability. It gives the Big Rig Driver enough surface area to generate speed in everyday surf while maintaining the control needed when waves become more powerful.
Who Is the Lost Big Rig Driver For?
The Big Rig Driver is especially well suited to intermediate through advanced surfers who prefer the feel of a performance shortboard but benefit from additional flotation and paddle power. Larger surfers can ride the volume they need without sacrificing performance, while experienced surfers looking for a little extra help catching waves can enjoy more foam in a familiar shortboard-style platform.
For surfers who aren't ready to move into a fish, hybrid, or mid-length, the Big Rig Driver offers a compelling alternative: more board underneath you without giving up the ability to surf aggressively.
Ideal Wave Conditions
The 7'0 Lost Big Rig Driver is designed as a versatile performance board for average to good surf. Its added volume and relaxed entry make it capable of getting into softer waves, while its continuous rocker, concaves, and performance tail allow it to come alive when the waves offer more push. It is particularly well suited to approximately 3–5 foot surf and larger when there is enough shape and power to take advantage of its performance-oriented design.
