The F1 (2025) Round Pin from Lost Surfboards is a refined, elite-level high-performance shortboard engineered for modern competition surfing. This is the exact design evolution that powered Yago Dora to his 2025 World Title at Lowers, released ahead of its official Fall ’25 launch to celebrate a championship-winning season.
Originally made famous by Julian Wilson over a decade ago, the F1 has been completely reimagined for today’s progressive surfers. By blending the DNA of Julian’s legendary 2010–2011 “Clown” Lowers board with the proven Driver 3.0 platform, Lost’s design team created a modern performance machine that delivers explosive speed, precise control, and confident hold in critical sections.
Designed by Matt Biolos
Tested at the highest level by Cole Houshmand and Yago Dora, the 2025 F1 Round Pin has already proven itself in elite competition—from major WCT results to a Finals Day victory at Lowers. This is not a retro reissue; it’s a championship-caliber redesign built for serious surfers who demand instant response and total commitment through powerful turns.
Performance Features
-
Set-Back Performance Design: Outline and rail-line rocker positioned slightly farther back than the Driver 3.0 for a more anchored, drive-focused stance.
-
Refined Outline: Slimmer nose (12” & 24”), wide point shifted toward the tail, added hip, and fuller tail area for quicker response under the back foot.
-
Round Pin Tail Geometry: A more defined, tapered pin in the final inches for added bite, hold, and connection through powerful rail turns.
-
Foam Distribution: Thicker centerline with subtle vee deck flowing into slightly fuller yet performance-oriented rails for stability without losing sensitivity.
-
Rocker Profile: Increased nose rocker in front of the lead foot, slightly reduced tail rocker, and enhanced mid-to-tail curve for speed and flow.
-
Deeper Concave System: Pronounced single concave blending into a performance double through the fins for lift, acceleration, and fast transitions.
-
Enhanced Rail-Line Curve: Increased responsiveness beneath the back foot for tight, precise direction changes.
-
Thinner Tail Block: Boxy, grippy rails paired with a foiled tail for secure hold when pushing hard in powerful surf.
-
Fin Setup: Thruster (3-fin) configuration for competition-level control and predictability.
Fin System: Futures (or FCS2 depending on build)
Please Note: Fins are not included with this surfboard.
