Lost RNF ’96 Kingfish Surfboard
The Lost RNF ’96 Kingfish brings the speed and playful feel of the legendary RNF outline into a longer, more forgiving package.
It’s aimed at surfers who want the extra paddling ability and wave count of a mid-length, but still want to surf with pace, draw proper turns and push the board when the waves improve. Whether you’re looking for a little more help in everyday conditions or simply want an easier board that doesn’t feel dull, the Kingfish offers a strong balance of performance and accessibility.
The Shape
The Kingfish has a relaxed entry rocker that helps it move efficiently through the water and pick up waves with less effort.
Its flatter deck carries volume across the board, creating a stable platform without making the rails feel bulky. The outline remains controlled through the nose and tail, while the shallow swallow adds bite and keeps the board feeling responsive when pushed through a turn.
A double concave through the main section of the board helps generate speed, blending into stronger vee through the tail to make rail-to-rail transitions smoother and more natural.
Where It Works
This is a genuinely versatile option for typical UK conditions.
The extra length and glide help in smaller, weaker surf, while the refined rails and controlled tail shape give it enough hold for cleaner and more powerful waves. It works particularly well for surfers looking for one board that can cover everything from slow summer sessions to more organised, overhead conditions.
How It Rides
The Kingfish paddles easily, catches waves early and carries speed without needing to be constantly worked.
Once on a wave, it feels more lively than a traditional mid-length. The board has enough surface area to glide through flat sections, but the tail contours and fin setup allow it to redirect smoothly and hold through more committed turns.
The 2+1 configuration also gives you room to adjust the setup depending on the conditions and the type of feel you prefer.
Sizing
Lost recommends riding the Kingfish around six inches longer than your usual RNF ’96.
Choosing a shorter size will retain more of the fast, responsive fish feel, while sizing up will give you additional paddle power, stability and effortless glide.
Why You’ll Love It
- Easy paddling and excellent wave-catching ability
- More forgiving than a standard performance fish
- Glides through weaker sections without feeling slow
- Stable underfoot while remaining responsive
- Turns more freely than a traditional mid-length
- Versatile 2+1 fin configuration
- Suitable for a wide range of UK waves
- A great option for surfers who want more help without stepping onto a cruiser
The RNF ’96 Kingfish makes surfing easier without taking the performance out of the equation.
