LOST 『V2-ROCKET』 C3 LOST 『SUB-DRIVER-JP』 C3 C3 specification (CORK board) CORK-CARBON-COMPOSITE Only one stock board of each model and size is imported, making this the ultimate premium, yet highly durable and high-performance special LOST surfboard. Be sure to add this to your board lineup.
This is the ultimate premium LOST surfboard, with only one stock board of each model and size imported!
This board has the potential to be capable of high-speed surfing, which is surprising from its appearance.
*High-strength and ultra-lightweight carbon fiber rails
* Vacuum shrink glass method
*2.1 oz EPS foam core
*Cork deck
*Hand print mark
By combining these luxury parts,
This is a rare surfboard that has been carefully and time-consumingly produced, and it has a great texture and a luxurious, high-end appearance.
Above all, Nishii can confidently recommend this product because it uses cork.
Its soft flex allows you to ride waves smoothly and easily gain speed.
Also, since the cork itself has buoyancy, the board will have a slightly higher buoyancy than the CL value printed on it.
I should also mention that paddling and takeoff are faster than with a POLY board.
Only one of each model and size is available, making this a rare find that will impress even collectors, with its beautiful finish that beautifully combines the natural material of cork with the high-tech material of carbon.
We will now explain in more detail about CORK boards, which have finally begun to be imported into Japan.
This LOST "Cork" surfboard is
This is a very rare board that has been made with a great deal of time and effort.
2.1 oz. strong EPS foam core
A special epoxy resin is used to create a dense, strong surface.
"Cork" is attached to the deck and carbon is wrapped around the rails.
We use a vacuum-sealing machine that carefully creates a vacuum-packed state over 72 hours.
All materials, including the epoxy glass layer, are absorbed into EPS foam.
A major feature of this board is that the deck is covered with approximately 5mm thick cork.
Therefore, the front of the board deck has a traction effect, and the front and rear feet
Since it is non-slip, there is no need to wax this board.
All rails from nose to tail are lined with high strength and ultra-lightweight carbon fiber.
The entire board is encased in a carbon fiber frame, giving it a skeletal structure similar to that of a tennis racket.
After sanding the joint between the carbon rail and the cork,
Decorated with black pin lines, it has a beautiful and luxurious appearance.
In addition, the carbon rails are given the unique luster of epoxy by applying an extremely thin hot coat and then polishing it.
The markings on the bottom side are the same as those on a regular board,
The mark on the deck side is a mark that has been hand-burned into the cork.
Naturally, the leash plug is also beautifully built in.
It also features MAYHEM's handwritten pencil signature and board dimensions.
The official import mark developed for Japan will also be included on the bottom tail.
The board itself is very light.
The ride feels springy thanks to the soft flex of the EPS core.
This is a bouncy board. It will appeal to those who prefer a softer flex like the FIVER-FLEX and Placebo-FLEXLITE/FLEXLITE-TURBO from the past. You can use the flex to gain speed even on flat sections, so it is a fast board that allows for light surfing and is better suited to beach breaks with small waves.

Below are photos and commentary from when Nishii was filmed riding.
The C3 specification (CORK board) has a cork deck surface, so you cannot stick stickers on it like you would on a regular board.
The bottom side is glassed so you can stick stickers on it like this.

As you get on, the stance will conform to the shape of your feet, providing more grip and a more comfortable ride.
Competitors prefer to have their stance marks on the board as this gives them more control.
Some people take the time to leave front and back footprints on their new POLY board on land (such as carpet) before riding it.

There was some time before takeoff on some rides,
This is the latest model of the RNF, featuring the distinctive flip nose design that takes into account the movement during pearling and turning, with the tip of the Lancer Evolution curved up sharply, making it extremely effective.
It is made with a 2.1 oz EPS foam core and vacuum-glazed with great care and time.
The carbon rails and cork deck give it a luxurious look, and its performance is something we can confidently recommend.
The deck is covered with cork, making the board itself the softest flex in LOST history.
The flexible flex means that when you turn, the rails of the board don't bite into the wave.
In this video you can see how the board turns without stalling.
Please take a look at the riding video of Nishii below to see how he effortlessly performs lip actions in succession.

The C3 specification has buoyancy in the cork itself, so it has slightly more buoyancy than the CL value printed on the board, which means that paddling and takeoff are faster than with polyboards, for example.
