'97 A.I. Exacta Pro
The ...Lost '96 or '97 A.I. Pro Exacta is more than a surfboard—it's a painstaking recreation of one of the most iconic performance boards from the golden era of progressive surfing. Faithfully reproduced from Andy Irons' original 1996/97 Mayhem, this limited model captures the raw energy, radical outlines, and uncompromising performance that helped define an entire generation of surfers.
Hand-scanned from the original board and recreated down to the finest details, the A.I. Pro Exacta features the same blonde timber stringer, glassed-on UltraLight Hex-core fins, period-correct leash plug, original dimensions, and even recreated Posca artwork. While it looks every bit like a '90s relic, the design still feels remarkably relevant today. A refined rocker through the centreline, forgiving rails, and single-to-double concave bottom generate impressive speed and flow, while the signature needle nose, pronounced hip, and pulled-in squash tail deliver the fast, critical surfing that made Andy Irons, Cory Lopez, and the ...Lost team stand out from the crowd.
Whether you're chasing a piece of surfing history or a unique high-performance shortboard unlike anything on the market today, the A.I. Pro Exacta delivers an authentic ride straight from one of surfing's most influential eras.

Sizing and Volume
Unlike modern shortboards, the A.I. Pro Exacta is designed to be ridden around 2 inches longer than your everyday performance board while carrying slightly less volume. Although volume guides are included, expect a more refined, lower-volume feel—just as performance boards were ridden throughout the 1990s.
