Based off the global-everyday-surfer-favourite, the Lost V3 Rocket, this is the Lost V3 Stealth Surfboard Review for CompareSurfboards.com! + Get This (and all) Ex Demo Surfboards HERE: https://bennysboardroom.com.au/collections/surf-surfboards-ex-demo-surfboards Built around a more traditional high performance shortboard nose template, my Lost V3 Stealth is 6'2 x 20.75 x 2.69 at 38CL of volume. This design results in a board that blends Lost V3 Rocket design with the quickness, performance and visuals of a standard HPSB shortboard. Technically, Matt Biolos of Lost Surfboards added length and rocker to the nose, and pulled the forward outline in to more closely resemble a modern shortboard nose template. The tail has more pronounced, fluted wings and a more radical “Rocket” diamond at the end. The deeper wings add grip and control by reducing surface area. The flutes help the rail to permeate the surface, as well as reduce the rail volume, for more precise and surface permeating carving. The bottom still contains the V3’s relaxed centerline rocker, for glide and down the line drive, and a healthy amount of concave. The concave adds considerable lift, and creates a hyper curved rail rocker under the rear foot, allowing the surfer to turn freely and precisely when the board is rolled onto a rail. The Lost V3 Stealth offers high speed, wide tail glide for fat faced fun, combined with the ability for fast, vertical, precise pocket surfing...in even marginal conditions.

I felt that the V2 never disappointed me, could surf it in all type of condition. With the Stealth, it only exhales and flies when the waves get good and hollow.
So do have any recommendations for a board something in between V2/V3 and Stealth? Need a board between the puddle jumper and my bigger surf shortboard.
Thanks for the show and happy new year

It definitely needs min waist/stomach high and up wave to start to feel it perform imo.
Taking it to Fiji next month and hoping to get into some good ones with it.
Thanks for the review!
I tell him when I see them, think they would love to be part of your show.
Cheer.
Also, I didn't put channels into mine. Both Matt and Nate Yeomans commented how a stealth with channels tends to get air underneath if the wave has some bump. Maybe that's where you experienced some of the instability?
To you question, I did almost the same as you. I was on a 6'2 V3 Rocket and my Stealth was a little longer but with similar volume. Still, you are always going to have a better experience when a master shaper is there to guide you to the right result!
