So Real Water Sports has a new video series that they're producing called Under the Glass,

0:06.6

where Team Rider Brett Barley pulls one board off of the rack at Real Water Sports, rides it,

0:12.3

reviews it. Here's just a little sneak peek.

0:15.0

This board, I hopped on it and from the very first time I stood up, it was like, I didn't

0:19.7

even have to think about it. It just did what I wanted it to do.

0:22.8

And it was a pretty wild feeling.

0:24.8

Going from like, like I said, being so dialed in to like, okay, I'm going to pluck this one off the rack. I'm no idea. No idea. And it was that amazing. I was like, oh my gosh, this is so cool. For those of you that don't know, I mean, this is a lost driver 2.0.

0:36.8

I mean, this is the workhorse of.0. I mean, this is the

0:37.6

workhorse of the lost high performance like shortboard series. It's in lost light speed construction

0:44.1

and that is a stringerless EPS blank with epoxy resin and loss own fiberglass schedule on here.

They came up with light speed and this is the board that, you know, Brett, like, Brett like basically went around the entire shop, he said, this is the one I, you know, this is the one I want to have.
