Description

The Lost Smooth Operator surfboard looks great with this colour. Along with a few other “mid-lengths” the Smooth Operator is set to re-ignite the interest in the classic double ender or performance egg.
There is a definite trend or movement towards slightly longer, performance mid-length surfboards at the moment which is probably occurring as a direct result of busier line-ups and possibly because older guys and girls are maintaining a better level of fitness and are less likely to opt for a “funboard” or the much maligned mini-mal or longboard.
The all new Lost Smooth Operator is all about catching a heap of waves and surfing them with timeless style. This amazing board paddles like a longboard and encourages a relaxed “trim and glide” style that is, and always will be pleasing on the eye.
Matt had been interested in designing this style of board for a while but as usual had his own take on what was required.
The Smooth Operator has a really low entry rocker (pretty par for the course) for paddle speed and early wave entry, with the wide point forward and a nose and tail that both measure the same at 12″ and 24″. This surfboard paddles and glides like a dream and turns better than you’d ever expect thanks to the ‘Biolos’ tail rocker which covers the whole rear third of the board and allows the board to turn much faster. There are deep double concaves, vee panels and turned down rails which promote speed. The Smooth Operator has been equipped with a comprehensive Quad + 1 fin system (either Futures or FCS II quads) giving plenty of setup options; ride it as a single fin, a 2 + 1 or quad. We reckon the larger sizes will really benefit from the 8″ fin where a centre fin (or 2+1) will get the board turning and offer some extra control in larger waves.
If we don’t have the Lost surfboard you’re looking for, or the stock dims don’t work for you, just give us a ring on (44) 01243 674250 or email [email protected] and we’ll happily discuss a custom order for you.

We’re absolutely stoked to be stocking Matt Biolos’ amazing shapes and would happily consider taking your old or unwanted surfboard as a trade-in against a new Lost surfboard.
