Design & Performance Breakdown
Retro RNF DNA with Modern Shape Refinements
The Lost RNF has earned legendary status for its skatey, fast, and free-feeling ride. This ’96 RNF version pays homage to the original template but incorporates modern foil, rails, and bottom contours for improved performance. Expect:
- Explosive speed down the line, even in softer surf
- Quick rail-to-rail transitions thanks to the wide template
- High-performance turning despite the extra volume
- Great wave-catching ability due to 41 liters of float

- A more classic surfboard ride compared to lighter epoxy boards
Futures Thruster Setup
