he might be busy at the moment...I tried to get Dan to make me a GMM2 rocker with a hydro squash outline once. He said he couldn't because the GMM2 was RK's shape.
Since RK is loving the GMM2 so much right now, I wonder if I can convince him to commission Dan make a "next step" version of that board for bigger waves
Edit: I just slid into RK's DM's.

My timing was impeccable
Thats pretty standard in my experience. A lot of shapers and companys give you all the time you need once the deposit is in. All my custom orders with Tomo Aus have been that way. Once the money is in... they send me the order form and we start the process. Its exciting once it gets to that point.
I tried asking Dan about a custom GMM2 in Tomo Tech too and it was a no-go. I like the idea of supporting RK/Hydrodynamica. RK invested a lot in Tomo.I tried to get Dan to make me a GMM2 rocker with a hydro squash outline once. He said he couldn't because the GMM2 was RK's shape.

You see! This was my thoughts too. I think I might risk it and go Stringerless. I doubt I would ride the GMM2 in anything over head unless it was a really mushy overhead type wave. Plus this is probably the perfect design to test out stringerless.
HOWEVER, the only thing holding me up on the order (besides the immediate cash) is the possibility of a keel fin V3 Nano or a keel fin V4. I have been loving my El Tomo keel so much that I dont know if i would trade a keel fin set up for a GMM2 thruster set up, in smaller mush waves.
Right now my go-to for smaller mushy surf is the El Tomo keel and it feels pretty amazing. The GMM2 would probably fall in that exact same category, so my reasoning is that i'd have to choose 1 over the other and im not sure i'd want the GMM2 over the smooth glide and easy turning ability of a keel.
I’m not saying you have to be on the level of some us as far as buying/ordering boards. But your fear of overlap is not appreciated around these parts, lol!!I tried asking Dan about a custom GMM2 in Tomo Tech too and it was a no-go. I like the idea of supporting RK/Hydrodynamica.

you just described the GMM2. LOL.
Don’t be put off by the outline, it does more than you’d think. It may take you a few waves to get used to the speed but give it a chance and you will have a blast. You’ll make sections you wouldn’t have on the El Tomo.
Let’s be honest, your all-Tomo quiver already has plenty of overlap for SoCal conditions. Don’t sweat it. Pull the trigger already!

RK got back to me on this and said he's cool with Dan using the GMM2 rocker for a one off.
Now I just have to convince Dan to make me one.
All these freakin choices!
Might have to YOLO a 3 pack.
GMM2
V3 Nano - keel setup
Revo
All overlapping each other!

If you decide to get a custom from Dan in AUS, keep me in mind. I would definitely be interested in splitting the shipping costs and ordering one myself.
