The ...Lost Big Rig Round takes everything surfers love about the Big Rig and adds the smooth, controlled feel of a round tail. Designed for larger, stronger, or older surfers who still want to surf a true high-performance shortboard, the Big Rig Round offers extra paddle power without sacrificing the speed, responsiveness, and rail-to-rail performance of the Driver family. If you enjoy drawing longer lines, surfing with more control, or regularly find yourself in quality waves, the round tail adds another level of confidence to an already proven design. Based on the Driver platform, the Big Rig Round increases foam through the centre of the board while maintaining refined rails and a performance outline. The relaxed entry rocker and slightly fuller nose make paddling easier and improve wave-catching, while the continuous tail rocker keeps the board lively once you're on your feet. A deep single concave flowing into a pronounced double concave generates effortless speed and drive, while the refined round tail delivers extra hold, smoother rail transitions, and greater control through committed carves, barrels, and open-face surfing. Originally developed for powerful surfers like Cole Houshmand, the Big Rig Round is ideal for surfers who want extra volume under their chest without giving up the performance feel of a modern shortboard.
