...Lost® Crowd Killer

I've owned the 7'2 version for years and as a 60 year old mid intermediate noticed that it recently is taking time away from my 10+ other boards, particularly the short boards. It is as versatile and fun as other reviewers have said and when I realized there's a 6'8 version I had to get one. As a smaller guy the 6'8 for me is both a great step up for the summer swells we've had and a more than adequate groveler during the slower softer days. The narrower width and 6 inch shorter length than the 7'2 makes it feel definitely closer to a shortboard but if you just want straight line midlength speed it does that too. You can actually duck dive it somewhat despite the volume but increasing wave count and trying more stuff because you're catching more waves is what this model is about. Get one, or don't get one and let this old guy win paddle battles. Oh, mucho kudos to the crew at the Laguna Beach store! Always sharing the stoke!

Easy wave catching machine, nice rocker for late drops, appreciate the round tail for tighter turns.

Board is much better in person totally satisfied
