Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member.
Don't miss this blog either!
The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" has been released in a variety of materials, including POLYESTER and EPS, and most of them sell out immediately. The BLACK SHEEP BUILT bottom color is now back in stock!

The LOST mid-length series "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is a performance mid-length board that is often switched on by shortboarders who want to ride lots of waves easily but are hesitant to ride a long surfboard, and longboarders who want more movement in their surfboard.
The SMOOTH OPERATOR is not very wide or thick compared to its length, so when you catch a wave you don't feel the length of the surfboard, which is a good thing, and it's very easy to handle, so I recommend going for a longer ride. Pro surfers Arashi Murata, Pro surfers Nishii, and MAYHEM are all having a blast with the SMOOTH OPERATOR!
The reason why it has become such a popular model is!
Among the LOST Surfboards model lineup, this is a relatively large surfboard, which makes it heavy, but {Black Sheep Built}'s lightweight EPS material "SMOOTH OPERATOR" has even more benefits, allowing you to paddle faster and with less weight, you won't even notice the length, and the surfboard will move more easily!

In the above YouTube video, pro surfer Arashi Murata is riding the SMOOTH OPERATOR BLACK SHEEP BUILT. The wave was breaking loosely and the shoulder didn't really come out, but he kept riding without losing speed and made some great action-packed moves in the hollowed-out sections on the inside!
The characteristics of the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" BLACK SHEEP BUILT were truly on display!
"BLACK SHEEP BUILT" is
LOST's original EPS technology, made using stringerless 1.5lb EPS foam, Triax carbon and epoxy resin.
The ultra-lightweight EPS blank is glass laminated with epoxy resin for both durability and performance, delivering flex rebound speed and quick response!
As you know, MAYHEM is also a fan of the SMOOTH OPERATOR, which he always takes with him, from knee-deep breaking waves to overseas trips.MAYHEM himself can confidently charge even double-over waves at classic reef breaks, and this model has been used in many photo shoots.

As Pro Nishii mentioned in the video, the recommended fin to attach to the SMOTTH OPERATOR is the FCSⅡ MB PG SPLIT KEEL/QUAD!
The performance of your surfboard will obviously change depending on the fins you use!
Depending on the wave conditions and your preferences, we definitely recommend trying the quad setting of the SMOOTH OPERATOR first!

The SMOOTH OPERATOR is a performance mid-length rod.
Please use a 7ft size leash cord instead of the COMP leash cord that shortboarders usually use!
We recommend the durable and long '7FT'!
