Hey guys, been looking at the lost mini driver but unsure on sizing. I'm 6ft and 78kgs. Was looking at a 5'10" (28.5ltr) or 5'11" (30ltr) but was abit wary of having too much foam ( been burnt on that before) as they feel pretty chunky thru the rails. Anyone got any experience with them? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Depends on what you're riding now, would go the 5'10".
Doesn't paddle in as early as the rocket but still pretty good.

Was riding 5'10" Fred rubble (25.7ltr) a year ago but have put on 10kg since then and now it's waaaay small. Now at 78kg looking for abit more volume.

Thanks. Got the 5'10" a couple of months ago and it's perfect. Best board I've ridden yet.

Grab yourself a knubster before you leave. I found it abit squirrelly on take of with those same fins. Knubster was a golden $25 fix.

Guys,
How do you reckon the mini driver fits the one board for most occasions tag ? I'm looking for something for just those clean 2 to 6 foot days and for indo trips as I have the sweet potato as a groveler. Would you recommend it to an intermediate level surfer as an ideal board for those types of waves ? One US forum I read bagged the crap out of them (main gripe was too much volume not very well hidden) whilst most raved about them. I really like the shape and nearly convinced to buy but just interested to know your thoughts

It's the closest thing I've seen to a one board fits all. Bit too much rocker for a real groveller though.
