STAB Report! The world's best-selling surfboard of 2019 is the "Rad Ripper"!

Decided based on STAB's report! The world's best-selling surfboard of 2019 is the LOST Rad Ripper model! BY: JAKE HOWARD https://stabmag.com/hardware/these-are-the-best-selling-surfboards-of-2019/ 1. Lost: Rad Ripper It's no easy feat for Matt Biolos and his team at LOST to keep up with all the different models, but this year, while the Driver 2.0 and California Fish were popular, the Rad Ripper was the most sought-after board. If the foundation of surfing is having fun, this is the board that will provide that fun. The Rad Ripper is fast, easy, and retro with Biolos' favorite touches for a modern update, most notably an increased tail rocker with a nice double barrel concave for more back foot control. "As a kid who surfed in the '80s, I was always fascinated by the ease of use of the performance shortboards of that era," Biolos said. The Rad Ripper "has a slightly looser entry rocker. We've replaced the wide, round tail that controlled speed with a squash tail for more slipperiness and quickness, allowing for a quicker paddle and earlier entry." Lost surfboard salesman Nate Yeomans named the Rad Ripper the most sought after in their field. "Demand for surfboards has been strong all year, and the Rad Ripper is a great board," says Yeomans. "There were a lot of models, and we introduced one that we thought was really good, and the Rad Ripper was that model. I don't know what Matt Biolos would say about it, but it's a really great board." The Rad Ripper isn't a board you'd ride at Desert Point (a hollow reef break in Indonesia). But how often do you ride Desert Point? It's the perfect board for everyday sessions or when you need a little extra inspiration to get a little wet. Our best-selling board of 2019, according to our statistics.
