Inheriting the DNA of the living legend "RNF'96" model
Designed to be approximately 6 inches longer than the "RNF'96" model
Open sweet spot for your rear foot
"TWIN+1" fin setup recommendation
We've been thinking about this for years but never pulled the trigger. The Little Disc RNF'96 model, long the best-selling and most popular "fish" model in the world, has been lengthened, refined, and added to the LOST mid-length line-up.
It's no secret that many of us from our generation who started fishing in the mid-1990s are now in our 50s, not surfing every day, and distracted by the trials and tribulations of life.
We're growing... and our favorite boards have to grow too.
The RNF'96 KINGFISH retains all the proven design details and DNA of the RNF'96, plus:
• A gentle entry rocker makes it easy to paddle when lining up, making it easy to catch waves, and once you're in it, it provides enough glide to take you where you want to go. • A flat deck with rounded, soft rails provides buoyancy and stability. The flat deck allows for a relatively thin structure that maintains the curves of the deck line. • Even at their large size, they are relatively agile, flexible and generous underfoot. A balanced outline, with just the right amount of width in the nose and tail, both of which are the same width (double ender) across all sizes, leaving plenty of center radius for turning. The tail is similar to a shortboard width, combined with a shallow swallow, allows for serious turning without feeling too "fishy." •The bottom concave is flat up front with a single concave throughout the middle, then transitions into a double concave vee from the front fin, with the vee getting deeper and stronger towards the swallowtail.
The KING FISH is designed to ride about 6 inches longer than your favorite RNF'96, but you can simply shorten it on the smaller sizes and lengthen it on the larger sizes. With this in mind, as you go up in size, we've added tail rocker to make it easier to move around, and trimmed down the deck so that even though the board is longer, the nose and tail remain relatively thin and you won't feel like it's difficult to turn.
The recommended fin setup is the TWIN+1, the same as its predecessor, the RNF'96. The fin placement is an open sweet spot. This was tested and designed to allow you to turn even if your back foot is slightly forward, so you don't have to stand at the end of the tail like you would on a high-performance board.
