Lost RNF 96 EPS Surfboard

The Lost RNF 96 EPS board combines the speed and fluidity of a classic fish with the responsiveness of a modern high-performance board. Its EPS construction offers more lightness, buoyancy, and ease in paddling, making the model even faster, looser, and more efficient in small to medium waves.

Overview

The Lost RNF 96 EPS is a modern reinterpretation of one of Lost's most classic models. Inspired by the original Round Nose Fish from 1996, it maintains the fast, fun, and flowing essence that made the model famous, but with refinements that deliver more control, responsiveness, and versatility.

With EPS construction, the board gains a lighter and livelier feel underfoot, promoting quick acceleration, easy wave entry, and speed retention in weaker sections. This makes the RNF 96 EPS an excellent choice for those who want to maximize small waves without sacrificing performance.

Design and Performance

The RNF 96 EPS maintains the outline with a more rounded nose and good frontal area, a characteristic that greatly aids in paddling and early wave entry. This configuration generates speed easily and provides plenty of stability, especially in smaller or fuller conditions.

At the back, the tail is more refined than that of a traditional fish, allowing for more controlled turns and a response closer to a shortboard. The bottom, with a single concave evolving into a double concave and vee in the final section, helps the board gain projection, switch rails easily, and maintain fluidity in maneuvers.

This combination delivers a fast, fun, and highly functional board, ideal for those seeking looser lines, plenty of speed, and freedom to surf with style and performance.

EPS Construction

EPS construction provides a lighter board with greater buoyancy and a livelier response in the water. This improves paddling, facilitates wave entry, and helps the board accelerate quickly, especially in smaller or less powerful conditions.

This characteristic also gives the RNF 96 a looser and more dynamic feel, favoring surfers who like to generate speed easily and maintain plenty of energy in transitions and turns.

About the RNF 96

The RNF 96 is one of Lost's most iconic models, representing the evolution of the fish within a more modern and performance-oriented proposal. It carries the essence of the fast and fun boards of the 90s, but with a refined shape to suit current surfing.

The result is an extremely versatile board that delivers fun in small waves, but also maintains control and safety when the ocean offers more face and power.
