The Speed Demon was an original …Lost Surfboards model—a model synonymous with full-on, pedal-to-the-metal, furiously fast, small-wave surfing.
Originally developed with feedback from San Clemente Mafia maestro, Dino Andino, in the mid-1990s, it became one of ...lost's early, well-known models. Tuned at the long, sloping, flattish-faced waves of Trestles in Southern California, with design details drawn from decades of down-the-line speed runs and big, head-snapping hacks.
With its speed-centric low rocker, plenty of width and thickness, deep concave, and some vee running through the rear of Dino’s signature extra-wide tail block, the Speed Demon was one of the first models that ...lost successfully sold through surf shops around the USA and across the world.
Fast forward to Spring 2025-Dino’s son, longtime design muse Kolohe, was focused on simply surfing local summer slop and occasional quality days around home in Southern California
As that Summer progressed, Kolohe came with a challenge with Mayhem.
“I want something that sits between the Rippers, Rad Rippers, and Sub-Drivers that I’ve been riding...
Built for crazy bursts of speed, with the wild wide tail of the Rad Zapper… but more normal looking....More normal feeling....No beaks or double-bump butt tails....Normal rails… and normal size. 5’10”, but wider and faster and gnarly. I want to fly....Built solely for speed... if I can get speed, I can turn....I want a full-on Speed Demon....Don’t worry about the turning.”
Once the shape was where Mayhem wanted it, he adorned it with a vintage Mayhem logo—drawn and used for just a couple of years in 1990–1992,So the 2026 Speed Demon was complete.
A …Lost Surfboards classic, with brand equity, name recognition, and a vibe that perfectly describes what this board is all about.
Final Word
A small-wave inspired, laterally lacerating, speed-centric little demon.
Design directed by 2 generations of Andinos.
Focused on tearing up sloppy surf or wave pools wherever simple, scathing speed is a need.
