6'2 Lost A.I. Exacta Pro

The ’96 or ’97 AI Exacta PRO:
An authentically recreated piece of …Lost Surfboards history.

Design-wise, the board is narrower, longer, thinner, and has a significant needle-nose “flip-tip” rocker with a noticeable hip and pulled-in squash tail that’s more minimal and radical-looking than anything being made today.

But a closer look reveals striking similarities to today’s boards: vee-deck to soft, round forgiving rails; single concave bottom to double concave through the fins and a slight blend of vee out the tail. The centerline and rail-line rockers are modest and smooth throughout the center, which is the secret ingredient for carrying speed.

If you cut 1 1/2” off the nose and 1/2” off the tail, then re-templated, you would end up with a board that is damn close to today’s standards.

For these reasons, we decided to create a size scale so surfers of various sizes can enjoy. We strongly recommend riding this board about 2” longer than you would a typical modern performance shortboard. We’ve included the volume in the charts to help find the right size, but expect to ride this board at a measurably lower volume than typical.

We all had to do that back in the ’90s… and it wasn’t always easy, but we survived!
