LOST "SUPER-DIABLO" model
An explanatory video by designer Matt "MAYHEM" Biolos himself has been released, so please take a look.
This is the new 2016 model "
SUPER-DIABLO"
This
"SUPER-DIABLO" is based on the hugely popular DIABLO series, a model exclusive to Japan. Unlike the previous DIABLO series, which had a sharp nose, the SUPER-DIABLO has a wider, shorter, and more voluminous design.
This design gives the board as much buoyancy as possible. The rails are full, but the grab rails lighten the volume of this area. Starting this year, we've been using thin redwood stringers for thicker board designs like
the SUPER-DIABLO .
Using these thin stringers makes for a light, flexible board.
The
SUPER-DIABLO is a short, thick board, so it doesn't break easily.
That's why we can use these light, flexible, thin stringers.
The tail is the familiar single wing squash tail.
The first 30cm from the tail is similar to a high performance board.
The rails, rocker, and outline give it excellent paddling performance.
It's easy to catch waves.
You'll be able to win the wave battle during peak weekends when the waves are crowded.
You can catch waves with the same feeling as on a longboard, softboard, or big retro fish.
But if you put your foot on the tail, it moves like a high-performance board.
The tail end is V-shaped and has a deep concave.
This deep concave runs straight from the center to the tail for improved acceleration.
However, the rails are curved from the center, making it easier to turn.
It's not a board that doesn't bend like a retro fish or funboard.
The bow-shaped rail line created by the concave allows you to glide freely through the waves and even create a vertical lip.
It's a short, wide and thick board, but it turns easily.
It may look like a simple design, but it's packed with powerful ideas.
It has a buoyant concept like a retro fish, but also moves like a high-performance shortboard.
That's Lost's
"SUPER-DIABLO."
