...Lost Formula-1 Squash: High-Performance Speed & Precision Shortboard
The ...Lost Formula-1 Squash is a modern high-performance shortboard built for surfers chasing speed, lift, and tight, controlled turns in everyday competition-style waves. Refined from a proven WCT-winning design, this board blends elite-level performance with surprising accessibility, making it a go-to for surfers looking to push harder without losing flow.
Originally inspired by Julian Wilson’s early-era F1 models and re-engineered for today’s surfing, the Formula-1 Squash has been brought back to life through extensive testing with Cole Houshmand—who rode it to victory at the Brazil CT. The updated design features a more “set back” outline, added hip through the tail, and refined rocker profile, creating a board that feels fast off the front foot and sharp through the pocket.
With a deeper single to double concave and a wider squash tail, the F1 generates effortless speed and drive while maintaining control in punchy conditions. It’s a board that thrives when you’re pushing turns but still holds its own when the waves soften.
Key Features of the ...Lost Formula-1 Squash:
- Set-back outline with added hip for tighter turning radius
- Narrower nose and wider squash tail for balance of control and release
- Deep single to double concave for speed, lift, and responsiveness
- Fuller, more forgiving rails for improved usability
- Refined rocker: more lift up front, less in the tail for drive and flow
- Available in Pro, Bro (team dims), and Grom sizing
Benefits of the ...Lost Formula-1 Squash:
- Generate speed instantly with strong front-foot drive
- Snap tighter, more controlled turns in the pocket
- Maintain flow through flatter sections thanks to added tail area
- Ride with confidence in both punchy and everyday conditions
- Access pro-level performance without an overly technical feel
Specs and Best Conditions:
- Best suited to waist-high to overhead waves with shape
- Excels in punchy beach breaks, points, and performance conditions
- Ideal as a daily high-performance shortboard
- Suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers
Sizing and Volume
The Formula-1 Squash is designed to be ridden around your standard shortboard dims.
- Pro dims = everyday surfers
- Bro dims = team-inspired, slightly more foam
