The Retro Ripper skateboard by Lost Surfboards epitomizes the fusion of surfing and skating passions, embodying innovation and dedication. Inspired by the need for a skateboard that offers a short, wide design with superior glide, it serves as an alternative to traditional fish-shaped boards, ideal for tackling punchy and powerful skating sessions with confidence and control.
A hallmark feature of all Lost boards, including the Retro Ripper, is the exclusive “Progressive Rocker” concave running through its length. Drawing inspiration from surfboard construction techniques, this concave design facilitates a responsive and performance-oriented pumping capability, enhancing the skating experience.
Established in 1985 by Matt “Mayhem” Biolos and a group of close friends, Lost Surfboards has left an indelible mark on the surfing world. Their journey began with the groundbreaking round nose fish (RNF), a board that redefined surfboard design and continues to be a top-seller globally, showcasing the brand’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
The Retro Ripper skateboard boasts a sleek and timeless design, featuring minimal logos and classic coloring. With its sturdy construction and carefully selected components, it promises durability and reliability on the streets or at the skatepark.
Specifications for the Retro Ripper include a CX truck option in raw color, paired with 68MM Mag Smoke 78A wheels and built-in bearings for smooth rides and precise maneuverability.
The deck comes equipped with Mayhem Deck Pad grip tape for added traction, while stainless steel hardware ensures longevity and performance.
Measuring at 32″ in length and 10 1/2″ in width, with a wheelbase of 18″, the Retro Ripper offers a balanced and stable platform for riders of all skill levels.
