Grabbed my brothers 5 or 6 year old mint condition RV yesterday and wholly crap that thing went so well. It's 5'7 x 21 x 2 3/8 and just was a rocket ship in waist to chest high little Earl leftovers. I sold my 5'5 Bottom Feeder years ago and forgot how well these things work.
Was thinking of getting something along the same lines but all the modern Losts like this seem to be Puddle Jumper based. I rode the OG Puddle Jumper back in the day and didn't really like the combination of the big single concave combined with the flat rocker and width up front. The big concave under the front foot felt really sticky. The RV and the Bottom Feeder which are flat or even convex in the front go much better.
But I wouldn't mind a little more rocker in the nose and a little more pulled in tail. Wondering if the modern HP or Pro Puddle Jumpers with the narrower fronts and more rocker tame that stickiness a bit or if someone else makes one of these with flat or a shallow concave up front to loosen it up.
No local shapers and won't got the custom route with Lost, life is too short.
