Learn moreOnly one left! LOST "SMOOTH OPERATOR" MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY! Resin color available now!
Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. The LOST "SMOOTH OPERATOR" and PLACEBO "SMOOTH OPERATOR" that arrived in stock the other day have both been snapped up at an incredible rate, leaving us with only one 6'2" size left. The SMOOTH OPERATOR is LOST's first mid-length model, developed by MAYHEM for himself.It is a performance mid-length model that can safely charge in anything from knee-deep waves to the double-over waves of special reef breaks, like the ones MAYHEM himself has taken countless photo shoots of. Next year will mark the fifth anniversary of the "SMOOTH OPERATOR," which is becoming more and more popular, improving in quality, and supported by an ever-increasing number of surfers. Since the last shipment sold out, we have received many requests from our customers asking, "When will it be restocked?" However, since the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" must be made using blanks with a special tapered stringer, we have been forced to stop production. This is a rare model that has become a phantom model. The reason why the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is so popular is that it is designed by "MAYHEM," which is ranked No. 1 in the WSL Shaper's Rankings and has a reputation for its performance, even among mid-length boards. Unlike the mid-length surfboards currently being released on the surfboard market by various brands, which from our perspective as shortboarders are all just clumsy and have a fast take-off, this board has amazing performance considering its size!

Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. LOST's first mid-length model, the "SMOOTH OPERATOR," was developed by MAYHEM himself and is a model that can be used with confidence to charge in anything from slow, breaking knee-high waves to the double-over waves of the special reef break that MAYHEM himself has proven to be. All of the previously available "SMOOTH OPERATOR" products made with "MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY" have sold out! Even after it sold out, we received many requests from everyone, but we were unable to produce the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" because it had to be made with blanks that used a special tapered stringer... Currently, there are a lot of mid-length boards being released by various brands on the surfboard market, but for us shortboarders, they are all just fast take-off boards and are quite sluggish, leaving most surfers dissatisfied! But the "SMOOTH OPERATOR" designed by MAYHEM is different! The SMOOTH OPERATOR was created by utilizing MAYHEM's experience with their most specialized high-performance models, the DRIVER series, which was the driving force behind their No. 1 Shaper's Ranking in 2023.The SMOOTH OPERATOR is not just a mid-length board that allows for quick paddling and takeoff, but also allows for turns and powerful tail kicks using the top to bottom of the wave. The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" models we have just received come in vibrant resin colors, and we've priced them at a very reasonable price! And more! For USA boards, there is an additional charge of ¥5,500 for every 2 inches, but this is also free, so you can save up to ¥72,600!
