That's my point. Straighter railed mph's can go vertical and surf in the pocket just fine, if you learn how to surf them. Timing and placement are important (just like every design) but are a little different. I remember having to work on my reaction time when surfing one of these for the first time because they were so damn fast. When I improved on those skills, the board worked better.Archer not the arrow
you'd probably be making that same turn on a Manta or a Hovercraft
that is clearly a non critical safety swoop. u need some hatchet fins to improve your vertical surfing!If only someone warned me you can't go vertical or stay in the pocket on a Tomo mph, then I wouldn't have wasted my time on this
ya that was what tomo was saying when mph boars first came out. need to adjust and react faster.That's my point.

And I'm not claiming these are the be-all-end-all. Tons of different designs out there work and work very well. There just seems to be a lot of blanket statements that they can't do this or that because of their design characteristics. I'm saying those blanket statements are simply not true.
Maybe... But not another Deforest.no reincarnation?
hahah!! That’s awesome! I’m definitely saving that video. Lots of ripping going on... Lots to be learned from those surfing moves.I keep forgetting to post this but Tomo isn’t the designer of the blunt nose shortboard. Rusty and Todd Chesser are. The whole clip is sick but the blunt nose ripping starts at 1:40. Love and miss you Todd.
Yes GMM2!. Incredibly fun board, IMO.That's kinda why I recommend using a regular boar then going back to tomo, will help w control.
When I had someone informally coaching me (lol) he made me ride a single fin mid length all day because I was so spastic.
Cleaned up a lot of my movements.
JKB is that on that Gmm2? thats on my list as well as copying Casa's sharpeye, and a rusty SD. Gf gonna kill me if I order more than 1 board before fall.
Obviously we all have our different opinions on what works best for us. I happen to like very sensitive boards because of the control it provides and the quick directional changes. I feel like those are some of the mph style boards strong suits. Others prefer more stability in their boards because I think it gives them predictability and maybe an element of forgiveness. (And of course there are all the designs that are in-between these two). Do you happen to prefer more stability in your boards?If I remember jkb rides upright fins in his MPH shapes
I'm sure the YUs I was riding worked against me - stiff and rakey.
I found myself washing out with more upright fins.
Gentle with my back foot is not my forte.
Archer issue.
I have a video for that too!I couldn't do a roundhouse cutty / off the whitewater and back for sh!t
totally agree.Obviously we all have our different opinions on what works best for us. I happen to like very sensitive boards because of the control it provides and the quick directional changes.
