WE showed a young pro around our warehouse the other day, he looked at at lot of boards, 'too heavy', 'boring', 'need more colour'. He wanted something fun. He walked out with a Lost under his arm and paid for it.

Matt Biolos is serious about not taking things seriously. He's that unconventional character you know, have always kind of admired and have made a decent life from being obtuse. His first gig as a shaper was at the Herbie Fletcher Surf Shop, during which time he shaped his first board the "Ratz Ass". Next came the "Mayhem" and the beginnings of Lost as a brand. As he was over in Europe we thought it'd be nice to take the opportunity to delve a bit under the skin of the man behind Lost.

We heard the brand …Lost originated from your old competition name, ‘Team Lost.’ You might not have cared, but did you and your mates ever win?

You can't win unless you enter the game. Says Matt. We were under the bleacher seats during the games, smoking joints, drinking and playing with the bad girls.
