The Lost SABO TAJ is designed as a versatile all-arounder, inspired by Taj Burrow's needs for a go-to board for surf trips. It excels in good quality waves, performing best in conditions from chest-high to overhead. While marketed towards surfers looking for a single board to cover a wide range of conditions, it requires a decent amount of push from the rider and is not ideal for mushy, onshore rubbish. Key features include a moderate volume for easier paddling and wave entry, with a lower entry rocker to aid speed generation. The tail has some lift for performance, balanced by retained thickness under the back foot for drive and forgiveness. The design incorporates a shallow single to double concave, providing lift and helping with turns. The pulled-in, rounded pin tail offers hold in hollow conditions and allows for driving turns on the open face, and also performs well in barrels. Pros include good paddling and wave-catching ability, versatility across a decent wave range, and the ability to drive through turns without catching rails. It's also suitable for heavier surfers or those using thicker wetsuits due to its volume. Cons are its requirement for good quality waves and some rider input to perform optimally; it struggles in weak, onshore conditions. Overall, the SABO TAJ is recommended for experienced surfers seeking a high-performance board that offers a blend of speed, maneuverability, and forgiveness, particularly for good waves.
