I don’t think so? I’m not at least haha
Revo outline looks different though

I just picked up my Revo from XTR. No surfs yet. It's much more Evo than Hydroshort squash, but somewhere in between. Had a ton of fun on my Evo (+40yr intermediate). But don't love super short boards, so hopefully Revo is same thing, just a little more rail line.
Evo:
5' 05" 19 1/2" 2 1/2" 30.5 L
5' 08" 20 1/4" 2 11/16" 35.6 L
Revo:
5' 05" 19 1/8" 2 7/16" 28.4 L
5' 08" 19 7/8" 2 5/8" 33.2 L
Hydroshort (firewire version):
5' 08" 19 1/16" 2 7/16" 28.3 L
Evo:
5' 05" 19 1/2" 2 1/2" 30.5 L
5' 08" 20 1/4" 2 11/16" 35.6 L

Bottom contours and rail thickness are similar? Revo probably an Evo version for guys who are taller and skinnier.
The description seemed to suggest the REVO was a more refined HP version of the Evo? Are the rails more tapered than the Evo?
old man tomo, cybersim, order to finish in three weeks, xtr guys are pretty good, 5'7 x 19.25 x 2.5
REVO looks interesting although I wasnt in love with the evo, thought it lacked the drive of the Nano and Vader, and less responsive than the Vader. That said, i didn't hate it, it was a stable, predictable board for lined-up and less punchy waves. Think refined rails, a touch narrower and a longer rail line might be just the little difference i'd like in it..add the drive and response to that milkshake
I'm almost 100% positive it would be a hard no on the concaves. Since XTR is just cutting and finish shaping them without DT's help, they aren't allowed to customize the design. That's one of the biggest bummers about ordering a Tomo through XTR. I've asked for different tails and noses and it's always a no go. I'd kill for the GMM2 rocker on a hydrosquash template.
And to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure the QISC would do much for that board anyways. My original GMM2 had a really deep QISC and I was convinced that had to be part of the magic. The QISC on my new GMM2 is much more subdued and it still has the same magic.
Cybersim looks fun though. Always wondered what the rocker was like compared to the GMM2. Cybersim looks like a GMM2 in the ass end.
That Cybersim looks really good. Just listened to RK on The Wire podcast. Can't really stand Shred Show guy as he just tries to cut in and speak bs all the time, but I've been following Hydrodynamica for a good few years now. RK seems like a cool guy, and is full of stories. Would be good if David Scales could get him on Surf Splendor and just let him talk.
I've been considering a GMM2 for a while now. I want one, but I know I shouldn't. Must. Control. Urge. To. Order. New. Boards...

bottom looks like single contour running from nose to tail, shallowing out in the tail, I ran am1s, slight rocker, not totally flat, board is pretty fast, fins might be a tad small for the wide tail though...board faceplants well too!
I agree. The rails on the Evo are kind of boxy and the stock dims are wide. A little long, more pinched rail, and slimmer sounds magic!
I listened to that podcast as well. RK describing the Cybersim makes me wanna get one! Especially how he says it has the feel of a twin with the turning ability of a thruster. Sounds magic!
Dude, you really shoulda called yourself 'Reforestation'.
