Lost Surfboards clinched title
Matt Biolos and …Lost Surfboards clinched the CT Shaper of the Year title with one event left in the season, and the result delivered the brand a fourth consecutive championship. Biolos also became a four-time shaping world champion. …Lost had already built a commanding provisional total of 43,285 points, which put it well ahead of the field before the final stop could matter. The remaining event was the Pipe Masters, and up to 30,000 points were still available there, but the title was already secure by the time the season reached that point. That was what made the latest result so decisive. It turned the final stretch from a race into a coronation, with the championship decided before the curtain came down on the schedule. For Biolos, the latest title extended a run of four straight seasons and confirmed …Lost as the standard in the category.
Cloud 9 delivered the clincher
The Cloud 9 event pushed the title out of reach for …Lost’s rivals. No rider on the team’s roster won at Cloud 9, but the result still worked in …Lost’s favor because Carissa Moore and Yago Dora both reached the semifinals. Those runs were enough to protect the lead and keep the team in front as the season moved toward its finish. That mattered because the title race still had one event left, yet the points gap no longer left room for a comeback. Cloud 9 became the stage where the numbers stopped adding up for everyone else. The event did not need a team victory to finish the job for …Lost. The semifinals, combined with the total the team had already built, were enough to seal the championship before the Pipe Masters arrived. In a race built on cumulative points, that kind of depth carried as much weight as a win.
Rivals missed their chance
Cloud 9 also produced headline results for other shapers. Chris Borst won the women’s event through Caity Simmers, and Johnny Cabianca won the men’s event through Gabriel Medina. DHD, Sharp Eye, JS, Channel Islands and Fatum also earned key results at the event. Those performances mattered, but they did not change the order at the top. …Lost’s lead had already grown large enough to survive another round, and the standings reflected that once Cloud 9 closed. The picture was clear, with Biolos and …Lost holding the line while the rest of the field tried to close ground. The final numbers favored consistency over a late surge, and …Lost had both. The team collected enough points across the season to make the last event a footnote in the championship chase. By the time the dust settled at Cloud 9, the title belonged to …Lost again, securing a fourth straight championship.
