Retro Gun

The Lost Surfboards Retro Gun is a meticulously crafted surfboard that elegantly blends nostalgia with contemporary performance engineering. Designed as "a working man’s gun," the Retro Gun is an ideal choice for both pros and everyday surfers, aiming to conquer unwieldy waves in challenging conditions. The board features a low entry rocker combined with a rolled vee and generous forward volume, designed to negotiate adverse surf with ease. The classic "beak" nose and accelerated tail rocker work seamlessly with the deep double concave at the tail, allowing for fluid transitions and superior rail engagement, particularly in harsh, choppy waters. This continuous vee bottom design ensures that the board maintains a low profile in the water, delivering a highly controlled and responsive ride, even at high speeds and in powerful surf.

Constructed with durability and performance in mind, the Retro Gun incorporates a flexible 4-ply Redwood stringer and a thruster/quad convertible fin setup, catering to a variety of surfing styles and conditions. Its robust 6oz and 4oz resin-tinted glassing not only enhances aesthetics but also significantly increases the lifespan of the board, ensuring it withstands the rigors of the ocean. Drawing inspiration from the original guns of the late 1980s, the Retro Gun maintains the classic flat deck and steep, full rails of that era while integrating modern improvements for a friendlier experience on the waves. Originally popularized by surfers seeking an edge in heavyweight waters, like Kolohe Andino and Luke Davis, the Retro Gun has become the quintessential tool for surfers who typically ride hybrid or fish designs but require a high-performance alternative in solid surf. Ultimately, this board stands as an exceptional introduction to the world of big wave surfing, making it accessible for riders looking to elevate their confidence and control amidst tumultuous swells.
