The Lost RNF 96 is a highly versatile and performance-oriented fish surfboard, celebrated for its ability to handle a wide range of wave conditions, from small and mushy to overhead and powerful. Overall Performance: The RNF 96 excels in speed and glide, making it incredibly fun in smaller, weaker waves, but also surprisingly capable in larger surf due to its refined tail and rail. It offers a lively and dynamic ride, with a good balance of looseness and hold. Best Conditions: This board shines in 1-6 foot surf and is particularly effective in punchy beach breaks and point breaks with open faces. While it can handle larger waves, its true strength lies in its versatility across a broad spectrum of conditions. Rider Suitability: The RNF 96 is suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a high-performance fish. It can also be a great option for beginners if sized up slightly, offering a forgiving and user-friendly experience. Its compact nature also makes it an excellent travel board. Key Features: The board features a round nose, a pulled-in tail reminiscent of a shortboard, and a single to double concave with some V through the tail. It's designed to be ridden primarily as a twin fin or a 2+1 setup. Pros: Exceptional speed and glide, versatile across many conditions, holds well in larger surf, responsive and lively feel, excellent for tight pockets and pumping. Cons: May require extra paddle effort in smaller surf due to its lower volume in certain constructions. Some users reported the glassing on PU models to be on the lighter side.
