Lost Uber Driver XL Surfboard Review

Ian reviews the Lost Uber Driver XL surfboard: https://www.boardshop.co.uk/brands/lo...

The Lost Uber Driver XL surfboard is a fuller funner version of the super popular Pro Formance Uber Driver model.

This board is a great option for someone who can surf already but needs a little help in a crowded line-up or for when the waves have some size but not much push. This board has a better board rocker but with a little more meat in the paddle zone and a little more in the rails but not too much to interfere with the shortboard performance. If you are a bigger surfer who wants to surf a shortboard but needs help with wave count then look no further.

The Uber Driver XL is another example of Matt Biolos catering for the surfer that many other board companies don't, its designed for what Matt calls Domesticated surfers. Its also a great option for intermediate surfers looking for a stepping stone to a more performance type of Surfboard.

The rocker, outline and bottom curves are performance minded, and come from the standard Uber Driver, which in turn came from the epic Sub-Driver model. Biolos then increased the dimensions and carried the thickness flow forward moving the wide point closer to the nose. The deck is flatter and so provides a more stable platform, the low apex tapered rail hides the volume really well whilst still allowing the board to have a responsive feel. its a fun shortboard ideal for home surf or adventures overseas.
