The Lib Tech x Lost Short Round Surfboard bridges the gap between easy riding cheater surfboards and a high performance shortboard. The speed comes from a low entry rocker and wide ish nose, with a forward wide point and generous concave throughout. The performance comes from a moderate, but not flipped up, tail rocker and a double concave shape through the fins, and the same sort of modern bump squash tail that you would find on a typical contest style, small wave HP shortboard. All combined, it doesn't look like anything fancy and there are no gimmicks, but some times less is more, and there's a lot packed into this little surfboard. Lib Tech also made a point of producing this board in the most environmentally friendly manner possible. With the exception of the stainless steel fin screws, every piece of the Vert Series uses materials that are new to the surf industry to create a board that's environmentally friendly without sacrificing rideability. Completely waterproof Nitrogenecell foam is made from 25 40% recycled content, and woven basalt fibers increase damping and impact resistance while reducing the use of plastics. Bio Matrix Resin reduces VOCs and offers a longer lifespan than more toxic traditional epoxies.
