Lost Ark Surfboards

"Wood Chip"

"Wood Chip"

Originally shaped in 2015. While watching videos of Rastavich and Dane surf these boards that appeared to be broken shortboards and having a blast while also completely ripping, I was intrigued to try and shape one. With inspiration from San Diego shaper Bob Simmons original outlines and shapes, watching clips of Dane and Rasta, and years of RND, tinkering with different rocker and concaves. I came up with my Wood Chip model.  Surfed this in solid over head waves to knee high slop and it kept me wanting to surf daily no matter the conditions. Had a blast figuring this board out and highly recommend.

-Packed with more foam than you would expect in such a  short and stout board (at 4'8 ideal weight would be around 150lbs)

-Deep spiral vee to guide the water down the board, through the fins and off the tail. Giving it more hold on the heel and toe side with a easy transition in between.

-Made the nose and tail square to help the board with hold when going down the line because if its small size. Keeping the rail line in the water with less push than a board with a rounder outline. So in *short* the board is fast, especially in down the line waves where you need less rocker. 

-Ideal conditions would be anywhere from knee to a head high soft/semi soft waves but can also manage steeper waves once you get the feeling

-There is an edit of the early years (around 2018) riding my 4'8 Wood Chip in the "CLIPS AND INTERVIEWS" section on the home page as well for reference.
