The Lost Driver 3.0 Squash is an evolution of the popular Driver 2.0, maintaining its high-performance shortboard characteristics. It excels in performance-oriented surfing, particularly in chest-to-overhead high waves. While the 2.0 was lauded for its accessibility across various conditions and ability levels, the 3.0 offers a bit more drive and holds better in more powerful surf. The Squash tail, compared to the Round tail, is preferred by some for its slightly more forgiving nature and ability to slide the tail out in softer conditions. Key differences noted are a slight increase in thickness and weight compared to the 2.0, which aids in handling choppier conditions but might be felt during aerial maneuvers. The board is generally recommended for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a reliable shortboard that performs well in a good range of conditions, leaning towards more powerful waves. Pros include strong performance in good waves, improved drive and hold in punchy surf compared to the 2.0, and a forgiving feel. Cons are a slight increase in weight and potentially less ideal for very small, mushy surf compared to other dedicated grovelers.
