How it surfs
Across published reviews the recurring theme is precision: testers describe the Pisces as faster and more controlled on rail than the RNF '96, at the cost of a little of the older board's skatey looseness.
Reviewer Noel Salas rode it as a quad, as a twin-plus-one and as a pair of high-performance twins with no stabiliser, and reported that the twin-plus-one is where most riders should start.
Volume & sizing chart
Use the chart below as a starting point. Add half a litre if you are less experienced, subtract half a litre for a looser feel.
| Size | Volume | Rider weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5'3" | 26.0 L | 55–63 kg | Advanced |
| 5'5" | 28.5 L | 62–70 kg | Intermediate+ |
| 5'6" | 29.75 L | 66–74 kg | Intermediate+ |
| 5'8" | 32.35 L | 72–80 kg | Intermediate |

How it compares
| Board | Best at | Wave range | Aggregate score |
|---|---|---|---|
| …Lost Pisces | Precision performance fish | Ankle to overhead | 9.1 |
| …Lost RNF '96 | Classic round nose fish | Ankle to head-high | 9.2 |
| Firewire Seaside | Retro keel twin | Ankle to head-high | 9.0 |
| Channel Islands Twin Pin | Drivey pin-tail twin | Waist to overhead | 9.0 |
Recommended fin setups
- Twin + 1 (large side fins, small trailer) — The setup most reviewers recommend starting with — drive from the sides, control from the trailer.
- FCS II Modern Keel — Looser, more classic fish feel for small, soft beachbreak.
- Quad set — Fastest configuration down the line in better, walled-up waves.
Verdict
The most complete performance fish …Lost has built. If you want one board for everyday waves that can be re-tuned with fins rather than replaced, the Pisces is a stronger all-round pick than the RNF '96 it grew out of.
