Cory Lopez joins Trip Forman in the REAL Backyard to talk about the new ...Lost design, the Sword-Fish. He also rode it, and ripped it. Check it out! Get your Sword-Fish here today: www.realwaters...
Ga'dang that's some good surfing and cool looking board. Please do more of these reviews in East Coast surf. When all you see is trestles it doesn't relate. Also CL...shreddddding!
What would be your choice between the swordfish and rocket wide? My all time favorite board is the lost short round, which is based off the rocket I believe. It goes well in for me in everything up to head high. I'm looking for something with more speed in the same wage range.
It can grovel because it's fast and wide but has a pretty pulled in nose so it could handle some size as well. That would depend on how you size it a bit too, let us know if you want any help figuring out a size
@Christopher Warren Depends how much volume you're usually riding and your skill level. If you can rip, the 5'5" would be super skatey and fun in the smaller surf. And the nose is tucked in enough that you can pull into some punchier surf as well on the days a storm passes Florida off the coast (Some sort of step up would be worth it if it is gonna be really big, but if you're not needing a step up often you can always look for a used deal later on). If you think you'd like a little more volume for getting into waves on the mushier days, the 5'6" gives you a little more volume that'll help get you into waves early even in softer surf.
They cover a similar wave range but are way different boards. If you like the fish feel but want more shortboardy performance, the Sword-Fish is the board. If you want a shortboard feel with a good upper range, the Quiver Killer is your board.
@@REALWatersports I had a carbon wrap link, the thing was wrecked in 6months. Lightest board I've ever owned and real poppy with get up and go, but very weak glassing imo.
