Isn’t that how most traditional shapers do it? They create a board purely on theory and feedback from riders and then watch the final version it for the first time under one of their riders feet?Yeah, but he was saying how the clips Firewire are putting out about the Revo are the first time he and the public are seeing the board in action.
Will you do me a favor and please try the reverse setup for me: hatchet fronts and upright rears? Genuinely curious if that could be goldilocks (golden ratio) combo with those finsIsn’t that how most traditional shapers do it?

I think Dan meant that, firewire usually makes one or two sample models before production and Dan wasn’t able to ride one because of his injury. I know Chuy had one and he is very familiar with Tomo’s board design and an excellent surfer as well.
I thought it was a good interview and reinforced a lot of the same feelings I was having with the board and fins.View attachment 132518
sick frisbee bruh.
That is a setup I really like too.Kinda hard to describe but my latest custom asked for twin set up and shaper sold me on a twin fronts and quad rears with fronts set up normal quad placement and rears set up a inch. You can really feel the pivot and how it holds kinda like twin feeling of drive with hold of a quad.
I've had some time to think about this and its not a groveler. I think a concave bottom board will definitely be faster in smaller waves than a Vee bottom, but you can make the board work in small waves if you wanted to.So reforest youve had some decent time on the new revo now where does this one sit in the quiver. The videos all have it in great waves I would want to be on my SKX in, does this have a better low end or similar to your SKX. Is it a performance groveller, different take on a HPSB how would you define ideal wave heights and conditions for when you would go for this board, and when you would go hydroshort or SKX
Nice turn ReForest!Any suggestions on upright rears for FCS?
Fuk the leash string cops how about the cluster fuk cops to the rescueYou read my mind...
Gonna do some testing this week/weekend

I hope the leash string police dont cite me for this one.
Too much work and surfing... not enough cleaning.Fuk the leash string cops how about the cluster fuk cops to the rescue
@racer1 are you selling a pair of Reactor quad rears?Nice turn. You really accelerated through the end of it.
The reactor quad rears are very upright. I think Racer is selling a pair.
Reponse from grumpy 73 year ole with grade skool kid .....boards should come with fins now get off my yardI just want to say it's cool that you're enjoying the new Revo so much and seem to be having a blast checking out the different feels that the various fin combinations are delivering. Keep on, keeping on!

yes. Reactor quad rears medium.@racer1 are you selling a pair of Reactor quad rears?
I will post a request in the classified section and see if i can find a set of those Von Sol Hornet.
Cool thx for the review board sounds and looks like a lot of funI've had some time to think about this and its not a groveler. I think a concave bottom board will definitely be faster in smaller waves than a Vee bottom, but you can make the board work in small waves if you wanted to.
I feel like the ideal conditions for this board are pretty broad, but I think you'd have an upper hand on other boards when you have a flat or mushy wave with a little bit of push. I think the channels through the Vee help this board plane on top of the water well, and it turns on rail so good, that as long as you have a little push you could be doing nice smooth "S" carves and carrying speed through your turns, when other concave boards would have a hard time getting on rail because of the mushy and flat face. We just had a nice long period ground swell with not a lot of size and the board felt so good. Catching waves was no problem at all and cutting through a little onshore chop was not a problem either.
Just like most of Tomo's boards there is a lot of overlap in where this board would fit in the quiver. I think of the SKX and Hydroshort as mini-step up boards for when the waves get above head high - especially the Hydroshort. I would not think the Revo has the same hold in bigger waves as a Hydroshort or SKX (because its so small) but since no one has ridden it in big waves I think its hard to say. But I don't think it was intended to be ridden in big surf.
So I'd say 2-6ft range. Ideal everyday waves conditions. Excels in mushy waves with a little push. Best as a quad or 2 +1.
I guess that's my mini review. lol.
