Lib Tech 2024 LOST Micks Tape Surfboard

Lib Tech 2024 LOST Micks Tape Surfboard

A collaborative tri-fin project by Matt Biolos and artistic, innovative South African hand shaper, Donald Brink, now based out of San Clemente. Motivation for the project was Stabs Electric Acid Surfboard test where the original asym shape was given a 5’3 size restriction and intended for use in the wide variety of waves on hand in the Maldives. The boys, knowing Micks power, skills and refined board knowledge, created a craft that would hit his volume sweet spot while packing in maximum motor, and would rail through proper arcs, fit into tight pockets and utilize both flat faces and power sections… they won!

To help make the board more accessible to everyday surfers LOST opted for a symmetric version that range in size from 5’4″-6′. LOST tweaked the Dimensions to open up the doors to everyday surfers like us who might want a bit more volume and paddle power but still want that mix of spontaneous freedom and power on rail that the board was created for. Designed to be ridden finned up as a thruster and much shorter than your standard shortboard (even your fish) choose a volume you can be comfortable with and push yourself to fit into new parts of the wave like Mick did.
