"It’s disappointing — but hardly surprising — that someone is now attempting to capitalize on (Lady Gaga's) success..."
The legal war between Lost Surfboards and Lady Gaga has escalated extremely quickly. Hours ago, surf fans learned that the San Clemente-based operation sued the songstress over the use of the word “Mayhem.” Ms. Gaga’s sixth studio album, released March 7, 2025, is titled “Mayhem,” you see, and written in “cool twelve-year-old-boy” font.
Lost has, of course, used “Mayhem” on its surfboards for much time and has officially owned the mark since 2015.
Biolos and co. asked Team Gaga to cease and desist though after allegedly being ignored filed suit.
Not content to wait for judge and jury, Ms. Gaga’s lawyer Orin Snyder blasted Lost, telling TMZ, “It’s disappointing — but hardly surprising — that someone is now attempting to capitalize on her success with a baseless lawsuit over the name ‘Mayhem.’ This is nothing more than an opportunistic and meritless abuse of the legal system.”
Ouch.
But do you think that Lost is ready to go scorched earth over the issue or do you imagine that a strongly worded statement implying coattail riding will be enough to send the World Surf League’s winningest board shaper to the hills?
The ball, as it were, officially in Lost’s court.
Enjoy some music whilst waiting for the return.

Nor is Jesus Brazilian.
I hope Matt brings his best poker face
I hate lawyers
Mostly though, god is not a real thing. You have just been brainwashed to think its real.
god isn’t real, but the ramifications of people’s conception of god certainly are, for better or worse. mostly for worse.

And we have a new addition to the lawsuit.
If God starts talking back to you, seek psychiatric help.
Dude are you that yotzak Rabins alt account?
I don’t wanna
Will Tommy Lee counter sue?
you know what the difference between God and a federal judge is though?
God doesn’t think he’s a federal judge.
Lost better lookout….. Minnie Driver is coming for you!
Isn’t it strange that we never see Lord Gaga?
Matt’s lawyers’ fees are already worth the publicity. NYT story incoming in 5, 4, 3 …
It’s almost like a Super Bowl ad on the cheap-ish
until Gaga’s lawyers find out about Cole Houshmand’s international sex dungeon operation with Andrew Tate…
Matts gonna have to do a collaboration. Gaga Jumper, Sub Gaga..
Round Nose Gaga
The Lady Killer
Someone should be suing world governments for the mayhem that is gobbling us all up right now.
Copyright infringement auditor Matt Biolos
Matt will dismiss this lawsuit after the court refuses to enter a preliminary injunction. No judge is going to believe that surfers are likely to be confused as to the source or sponsorship of the Lady Gaga clothing
To misquote Chris Eubank Snr – “we are a terror and the proceedings will be parliamentary!”
How much will the little dance cost Lost?
Bremer Whyte will easily bill them 400 – 500 grand between now and whenever the court rules on a motion for preliminary injunction.
Yikes! Gaga should have titled her album “ultra hard surf candy.” Nothing but applause from here.
“here” conspicuously not bold, nor underlined as a link. nothing
Back to drawing board.
Poster board or chalkboard?
Sounds like a grooming site
Hey there Sugar tits, you wanna sit on Daddy’s knee?
Im good.
I often have trouble with preliminary injunctions, but I found some pills that help.
Maybe not core surfers, but slightly clueless people think they’re buying surf-related clothing…
She was wearing a Mayhem hat on SNL and I thought maybe she was pals with Matt!
Plot twist..
