The Lost Mick's Tape, a collaboration between Matt Biolos, Mick Fanning, and Lib Tech, is a high-volume fish alternative designed for small to medium, less powerful waves. It excels in providing paddle power and maintaining speed in weaker conditions due to its wide outline, generous volume throughout, and a flatter entry rocker that transitions into a double concave towards the fins. Key features include a wide, swallow tail designed to carry speed and assist with paddling in. The rails are pinched just ahead of the fins, contributing to a twisty and turny feel, allowing for tight, responsive turns within the pocket. The domed deck and pinched rails offer maneuverability, while the overall volume and thickness in the front section ensure easy wave entry and planing. The Lib Tech construction is noted for its durability, making the board difficult to ding and environmentally friendly, though it adds some weight which can be beneficial in bumpy conditions. This board is suitable for surfers looking for a performance-oriented option in less-than-ideal surf. Its forgiving nature, due to the volume and construction, makes it accessible. However, the added weight from the Lib Tech build might not appeal to surfers seeking a lighter board for more critical waves. Overall, the Mick's Tape is a fun, fast, and durable option for maximizing wave count and enjoyment in marginal surf conditions, offering a blend of paddle power and performance turning.
