The Mini Driver from Lost Surfboards is a high-performance shortboard born from a defining moment in modern competitive surfing. Designed alongside teenage phenom Kolohe Andino during his rapid rise toward the World Championship Tour, the Mini Driver blends explosive performance with pure surfing fun. Built to go fast, fit tight in the pocket, and handle serious waves, this board is a compact powerhouse engineered for progressive surfers who demand versatility without sacrificing performance.
Originally derived from the team’s proven DRIVER model, the Mini Driver takes a wider-than-average round pin outline and compresses it into a shorter, more playful platform. The result is a board that paddles easily, generates instant speed, and still locks into steep, hollow sections with confidence. It’s the perfect balance between daily-driver usability and competition-level precision.
Designed by Matt Biolos
Refined over years of real-world testing by elite-level surfers, the Mini Driver continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. Subtle updates to rails, foil, and sizing align it with modern performance demands, but its DNA remains unchanged: fast, responsive, and incredibly versatile.
