MAYHEMが自身の為に開発した LOST初のミッドレングスモデルが PLACEBOからもリリース！

This "SMOOTH OPERATOR" model is Lost's first mid-length model, and it is finally made with PLACEBO's DURA-FLEX, making it a lightweight model.

Knee-high waves, which only a longboard can handle, can sometimes be difficult to handle even with a short, thick fishboard designed for small waves.MAYHEM himself became interested in developing this board because he wanted to be able to enjoy riding the waves in small waves without being outdone by a longboard.

This falls into the mid-length surfboard category. It's not a longboard, shortboard, or fishboard, and Lost Surfboards has never designed a model in this category before. MAYHEM started surfing with his four children and wanted to surf with them at spots with small waves where they could surf safely, so he became interested in this category of board and was able to design it.

The "SMOOTH OPERATOR" is recommended for surfers, both male and female, who simply want to catch a wave and ride it to the end. Because this board is long, it doesn't require much paddling power and doesn't tire your arms much. Once you take off, you can surf smoothly and ride the wave to the very end. It's designed for style-focused, smooth surfing without the need for forced movements. That's why MAYHEM named its first mid-length model "Smooth Operator."

The board is equipped with special tapered carbon fiber and uses AERO BLANK's stringerless EPS blanks, with tapered carbon fiber on both sides that gradually tapers from nose to tail. The stringer width at the tip of the nose is 20mm, but gradually thins out toward the tail, reaching just 1mm at its very tip. The wide carbon fiber in the nose area provides excellent strength and acceleration, allowing you to feel the speed you gain from paddling or your front foot transform into forward momentum. This tapered carbon fiber narrows toward the tail, allowing the tail to flex and rotate when you push down on it. This is a crucial element that improves the control of the Smooth Operator.

The hybrid 5-fin system allows you to change the fin style and enjoy a variety of waves and styles. The quad fin is MAYHEM's favorite setup. It allows for turns and aggressive tail kicks, and the lack of a center fin allows for looser movement. And with the tri fin, you can perform with up and down top and bottom surfing. Its length allows it to handle bigger waves than a fishboard, making it a great choice for overseas surf trips.

The outline has a tapered tail width, so it can handle double-sized waves. Catching big waves with a short board can be difficult and a little scary, but this "SMOOTH OPERATOR" model has a fast takeoff, draws a smooth line, and the tapered tail makes it controllable even at high speeds and when the wave is deep.
