A minuscule wave marauder, fine-tuned for frothy fun in the flattest conditions.The Party Platter by …Lost is a purpose-built, ultra-short, ultra-wide small-wave specialist. Designed to thrive when the ocean is barely moving, this board is a direct answer to the surfer’s struggle with lackluster, ankle-high surf. Inspired by past shapes like the Bean Bag, Couch Potato, and Plank, the Party Platter takes those mellow, volume-rich designs and packages them into something far more performance-minded—compact, maneuverable, and fun.
With low rocker and a parallel outline, this board is all about maintaining speed and glide when the waves won’t do it for you. The flat deck and full rails deliver a stable, cruisy feel, making it accessible to a broad range of surfers. Subtle concave and vee contours keep things lively, offering surprising lift and rail engagement for such a stubby shape. It’s a board that can trim, turn, and flow, even in conditions that would normally send you home—or to the coffee shop.
The Party Platter excels where most boards fail. It's not just a novelty; it’s a serious tool for getting the most out of micro surf without sacrificing the ability to carve or move with intent.
Pros:
*Ultra effective in tiny, weak waves—gets you in early and glides easily.*
*Short and wide with full rails—stable underfoot and easy to surf.*
*Low rocker and parallel outline—built-in speed even in flat-faced waves.*
*Great for beginners learning in small conditions or advanced surfers wanting to stay sharp on off days.Cons:

The Party Platter is a finely tuned fun-machine for small surf, blending playful volume with functional performance. If your home break often resembles a lake, or you just want something to reignite stoke on slow days, this board is your go-to. Think of it as the turntable that gets the flat-day party started—high-speed, high-fun, and ready to spin even the weakest swell into a session worth remembering.
