Lost Surfboards - 5'7" Sub Driver 3.0 Squash Black Sheep Surfboard

3.0 STUB Performance Shortboard

The 3.0 STUB is an all-new, everyday step-down performance shortboard developed alongside Kolohe Andino, built for surfers who want elite-level response when the waves aren’t exactly firing. A direct derivative of the DRIVER 3.0, this board delivers the same high-performance DNA—just tuned for smaller, punchier conditions.

Designed as a low-end, high-performance machine, the 3.0 STUB shines in average to sub-par surf, especially small beach breaks, quick pockets, and dumpy sections. While the DRIVER 3.0 was refined in World Tour-level waves, the 3.0 STUB bridges the gap, keeping that familiar feel while unlocking more speed, lift, and release in everyday conditions.

Unlike the Sub-Driver, the 3.0 STUB eliminates tail vee in favor of a continuous rocker and concave combination, making it looser, livelier, and faster off the tail. The relaxed rocker profile allows the board to fit effortlessly into tight sections while still responding instantly under the rear foot.

The goal was simple: create a step-down that feels like the same board. The result is a seamless transition between the DRIVER 3.0 and the 3.0 STUB, requiring no adjustment in technique—just grab and go.

Tested and approved by the WQS crew including Crosby Cola, Cole Houshmand, Eli Hanneman, and Michael Dunphy, the 3.0 STUB has earned its place as a go-to small-wave weapon in high-performance quivers.

Key Features (Compared to DRIVER 3.0)

Relaxed entry rocker with a slightly wider nose

Relaxed tail rocker with a subtle hip and wider tail block (not as wide as Sub-Driver)

Increased overall width with thickness carried forward and under the rear foot

Deeper single-to-double concave for added lift and speed in weaker surf

Slightly flatter deck with soft, forgiving rails

Continuous rocker/concave for quick release and responsiveness

Recommended Sizing

Designed to be ridden 1” shorter than your DRIVER 3.0.
Example: If you ride a 6’0” DRIVER 3.0, the 5’11” 3.0 STUB will slot in perfectly.

If you’re serious about performance surfing but spend most of your time in average conditions, the 3.0 STUB is your answer. Pair it with the DRIVER 3.0 and you’ve got a perfectly matched duo of modern, high-performance surfboards—ready for anything the forecast throws at you. 🌊🔥

 BlackSheepBuilt boards begin with light weight, 1.5lb virgin EPS and utilize the most advanced “Triax-NCF” (Non-Crimp Fabric) high-quality carbon fiber, to create a fast, responsive and lively surfboard.  A board that is both lightweight and  flexible, but also surprisingly strong.

“Triax” Carbon is laminated only on the deck, with a short bottom lap and sandwiched with multiple layers of 4oz, “D-size” fiberglass, top and bottom, for both durability and performance.
•Engineered for rapid reaction and maintaining a forgiving flex and dampened overall feel, under foot.
The combination of both Triax Carbon and fiberglass helps BlackSheepBuilt boards feel lively and exciting, but familiar at the same time.
The unique performance of BlackSheepBuilt boards comes from the Triax Carbon, which combines a triple-axis +30/-30°/0 layup. It is an “un-crimped”, multi-directional carbon, which enhances and controls torsional force from rail to rail. Multi-axial carbon fiber is a great alternative to traditional woven carbon fibers because it is made up of alternately aligned layers of unidirectional carbon reinforcement.
Because it’s not woven, the fibers do not “crimp” under and over perpendicular fibers, in the way that traditional woven fabrics do.  The fibers lay flatter, retain less resin, remain smoother, straighter and stronger, with a more natural flex.  Unlike traditional woven fabrics, there is also no 90 (degree) rail to rail carbon, which creates weak points and easy fissures for deck buckles, cracks and breaks.
The +30/-30° fabric orientation, the torsion force and pressure from the surfer’s feet radiates outward to more of the rail line, creating greater drive, connection and thus control, with the edges and perimeter of the board.  Strength and stability underfoot and along the rail line, work together as one.
WARNING: Carbon Fiber surfboards can easily get Hot!  They’re dark…and like all things dark, they soak sun and heat up. The BlackSheepBuilt boards are made with lightweight EPS foam and a Carbon Fiber shell.
