Learn moreAlso featured in STAB Magazine! The amazing LOST "SUB-DRIVER" model!
STAB, the cutting edge surf magazine in the USA, The board that changed Mick Fanning's mind about boards Since they featured the LOST "SUB-DRIVER" model, Along with the magazine, we would like to once again introduce the greatness of the ``SUB-DRIVER'' model. "SUB-DRIVER" model explanation Since its release, the SUB-DRIVER has been the most successful competition board for WQS competitors. Competitors around the world request the SUB-DRIVER as their quiver (weapon) for the diverse and unpredictable waves of the WQS (World Qualifying Series). The first development was for Kolohe Andino in 2010. In 2011, Kolohe rode the SUB-DRIVER model during the WCT qualifying season, winning all five WQS events on the SUB-DRIVER model. https://vimeo.com/31464041 That same year, in 2011, Mick Fanning noticed. It's now a well-known story that Kolohe brought his old, discarded Sub-Driver model from LOST and won many heats in the Lower Pro. Mick Fanning later said, "It completely changed my perception of what a small wave competition board should be." He used the Sub-Driver multiple times on the World Tour while winning the World Title in 2013. Since then, not only has the design gained more attention around the world, but more and more surfers have been riding it and achieving great results in competition, both on the team and with other surfers. We still make a lot of the "SUB-DRIVER" model to meet their needs. Originally, it was a "DRIVER" model that had its nose and tail hand-cut by about 1 inch, redrawing the outline and shaping it. As a result, the "SUB-DRIVER" model has a wider outline and less rocker than the "DRIVER" model. The most noticeable features are the slightly wider than average nose, the spiral (circular) VEE at the fin that continues to the tail, and the wide hip tail block. https://vimeo.com/72036645 The Sub-Driver's wide nose and tail provide stability when landing in the air. The wide hip at the front of the fin creates a flatter outline with less curvature for driving. The prominent hip (bump) at the fin provides the surfer with a pivot point for tight, powerful turns. The wide tail block provides stability even in small waves at slow speeds. The design has evolved to allow for shorter boards than originally intended. The rail rocker transitions from a modest single concave at the front of the board underfoot to a double concave at the rear fin, continuing into a spiraling vee at the tail. The double concave extends to the tail in sufficient volume to provide lift and help maintain speed and flow, even in underpowered waves. Expert surfers will tell you, "It pushes back even in small waves." The SUB-DRIVER model is not just for pros, but is also a truly perfect design for the average surfer, with its longer, slightly larger "BRO" dimensions. Even in small waves, the short, rounded outline design provides plenty of drive, making it easy to catch waves and build speed. The SUB-DRIVER model in the Performance Series is designed for small wave beach breaks and comes in two sizes: PRO Dimension for competitions and BRO Dimension for general surfers. https://vimeo.com/223448132 High performance surfing board for small waves and beach breaks! The nose and tail of the " DRIVER " model have been cut by about 1 inch and the outline has been redrawn to create a wide and low model. Refined high performance! " PRO " dimension with improved action performance! ・For those looking for a super high performance board for small waves! ・Spiral VEE increases lift speed ・For intermediate and above level learners. ・Recommended for knee to head size. ★LOST "SUB-DRIVER" model introduction page can be found here!
