New Surfboard Brand: ...Lost Shaper: Matt "Mayhem" Biolos Model: Driver 3.0 (Squash) Construction: LightSpeed 2 5'11" x 18.88" x 2.44" 28.5L Futures boxes = 3 Check out our selection of Future fins to go with this board. DRIVER3.0 features slightly more tail rocker and a deeper double to single concave, through the rear half, than its predecessor, the Driver2.0. The deck line in the tail is scooped out, with lower, boxy rails, to follow the bottom curve and slice seamlessly into the water. More concave means more lift and more rail line rocker. More lift means more speed. More rail rocker, means more curve, for searing, tight radius turns. We narrowed the hip, between the feet, adding grip and stability to the outline. The round tail is fairly wide and forgiving under the rear foot, but the last few inches pull in enough to add confidence and hold in hard pushing, Pro level, pocket surfing. To balance these design elements (added tail rocker, narrower hip, scooped out deck and hyper rail rocker) we have carried a bit more width in the forward outline and volume in the forward foil. This forward volume adds glide and a more responsive drive, off the front foot. The DRIVER3.0 runs thicker, along the stringer line (for paddle power and drive) but has a higher angle “Vee” deck, which removes volume and ends in a moderate, but round and forgiving, rail. The next evolution of high-performance EPS/Epoxy “Carbon Neutral*” construction. LightSpeed II is the evolution of our original LightSpeed tech — same foundation, new materials, for ultra-light and ultra-fast performance. We’ve replaced all carbon components with a custom-engineered combination of high tensile S-Glass and Innegra composite, delivering a dampened flex pattern, with a smoother ride, with less chatter, without sacrificing strength or durability. The “Exoskeleton” centerline stripsare now built with S-Glass, infused with Innegra, offering a more forgiving flex than carbon, with superior dampening. The Web Fused Carbon tail patches have also been upgraded to Web Fused Innegra™, resulting in a white, light, lively, responsive board with forgiving flex and a smoother feel underfoot — all without sacrificing the signature speed and pop that made LightSpeed famous. LightSpeed II Highlights: High Tensile S-Glass + Innegra™ Construction: Replaces all carbon elements from the original LightSpeed with more flexibly forgiving materials. Less sun and heat sensitive, as well. Updated Exoskeleton Strips: Centerline strips now built with S-Glass and Innegra™, maintains tensile strength while dampening flex and reducing chatter. Web Fused Innegra™ Tail Patch: Replaces previous carbon version, for a forgiving feel under your back foot and improving dampening. More Flex Before Failure: S-Glass offers increased bend range before creasing or buckling, than carbon — delivering longer board life under pressure. Reduced Chatter & Twitch: Aimed specifically at minimizing the rigid, snappy feel often associated with carbon, creating a smoother ride overall. No More Carbon Footprints: For those looking to reduce their carbon footprint— literally — this update eliminates all carbon in the layup. * “Carbon Neutral*”… with tongue firmly in cheek. It’s not really Carbon Neutral (whatever that even means) This board is available to purchase online, but we highly encourage you to come to the shop and put it under your arm first. While pictures are great to see the overall condition of a board you cannot see how it really looks without looking at it in person. All surfboard sales final: there are no refunds, exchanges or returns on surfboards.
