The Lost Tube Pig is a performance shortboard designed for critical, powerful waves, particularly suited for barrel riding. It excels in providing the necessary speed to enter and navigate steep wave faces, allowing surfers to drive through sections and exit cleanly. The board features a "beefed-up" shortboard feel without being a traditional step-up, offering enhanced drive and hold in hollow conditions. Key design elements include a slightly forward wide point, increased thickness in the nose, and a thinned-out, narrowed tail. This distribution of volume aids in front-end drive for acceleration through sections. The rocker line is slightly increased for hold in the barrel, while the concaves are reduced, as the wave's power is expected to do most of the work. This design aims to deliver performance without sacrificing maneuverability. The Tube Pig is best suited for experienced surfers looking for a board to excel in good, hollow waves. It can also function as a traditional shortboard for slightly heavier riders seeking more volume and drive without compromising on length. The 6'1" model reviewed has 29 liters of volume, offering a generous amount for its size. Pros include excellent speed generation for barrel riding, good hold in critical sections, and a performance-oriented design for powerful waves. A potential con is its specific design focus, making it less versatile for everyday conditions compared to a standard shortboard. **The Lost Tube Pig is a highly recommended board for surfers seeking to maximize their performance in challenging, barreling waves.**
