The R.V. is the latest installment in …Lost’s ongoing pursuit of the ultimate “Domesticated” surfboard—designed to maximize fun, minimize effort, and make the most of your precious time in the water. True to its name, the R.V. is a Recreational Vehicle: fast, stable, and built for cruise control, but with enough edge to keep the ride exciting.

A descendant of the Bottom Feeder, Couch Potato, and LayZtoy family tree, the R.V. incorporates key updates that enhance its versatility and responsiveness. The most noticeable are the double wing flyers in the tail, which reduce surface area and add bite—offering increased control and confidence during snaps and carves. The nose outline has also been refined, trimming excess width in the forward 12–18 inches without sacrificing paddle power or down-the-line drive.

Despite its wide, user-friendly outline and generous volume, the R.V. doesn't feel sluggish. It turns tighter and responds faster than its predecessors, with a more progressive feel in steeper sections or rail-to-rail transitions. It’s a board that’s accessible to beginners yet fun and responsive enough for experienced surfers looking to keep the vibe high when the waves are less than perfect.

Pros:

* Exceptional paddle power and wave-catching ability.
* Easy to ride and very forgiving—ideal for all skill levels.
* Double wing tail increases precision and bite during turns.
* Refined nose outline improves maneuverability and adds a performance feel.

Cons:

* Not intended for powerful or hollow waves.
* High volume design may feel too floaty for those seeking critical shortboard performance.
* Still leans heavily into the “fun board” category—less suited for vertical or aerial surfing.

Summary:
The R.V. is a premium choice for surfers seeking comfort, style, and maximum wave count without compromising too much on performance. With design cues pulled from …Lost’s most beloved domesticated shapes and thoughtful upgrades to maneuverability and control, this board is built for joyful sessions in average surf. Whether you're a novice looking for something stable and forgiving or a seasoned surfer just trying to have a good time between swells, the R.V. lets you enjoy the ride—effortlessly.
