Lost's new model announced! "V2-ROCKET"
MAYHEM has improved the original rocket model,
This board is designed with increased drive to handle bigger waves than the original Rocket model.
This model is recommended for those who prefer a performance balance similar to that of a stealth model rather than a competition-style thruster.
The classic ROCKET has been revamped! This MAYHEM tune-up adds even more driving performance!
What are the features of V2 ROCKET?
-High controllability even in deep or large waves
・Wide range of wave sizes
・For intermediate and above
・Knee-waist to overhead recommended
The V2 Rocket is a redesigned and tuned version of the classic Rocket. Based on extensive feedback over the past few years, the V2 Rocket was released. Aimed at average surfers, it offers more control in both small and large waves. The original Rocket now boasts a more drive-like feel, making it a board everyone can enjoy.
The V2 inherits the original Rocket concept with a slightly stronger rocker. The concave is less and the design is smoother. This increases the sense of drive when turning. The tail now has a softer wing and concave to allow for more control in tight pockets and more extreme changes of direction than before. It is suitable for a wider range of waves than the original Rocket, from knee-high to overhead.
The tail rocker has been relaxed, and the concave leading into the fin is shallower, deeper towards the nose, and longer overall. The rail line is more accelerating, and the new soft wing helps change direction instantly at the top and provides more hold on the bottom. It offers more control in deep and larger waves than the original Rocket.
The nose rocker is slightly stronger than the original Rocket. It extends over about a foot to help balance when launching in a tight position and prevent pearling. The concave position is shifted further forward, and the rail line is thinner for more front-foot drive, allowing for quicker acceleration after launch. The rail line in the tail is sharper. The rear footboard features a subtle double concave and a loose, squared-off, boxy tail rail. The nose is slightly wider from 12 to 18 inches.
The original Rocket has been one of the most popular bikes in the world for the past few years, the most recognizable, and one of the bikes that has beaten all others in recent memory.
The original Rocket had clear advantages and many surfers have successfully used it, but there is always room for improvement with any model. So I used feedback from average surfers to make improvements. The original Rocket is still available for purchase. The V2 Rocket is not a replacement for the Rocket.

Nishii was also thinking about the color when he ordered it right away.
These are the color ideas I came up with earlier in Illustrator for the V2-ROCKET board color.
I'm still deciding which one to choose, but if you'd like, please feel free to use this as a reference.
