I wonder why shapers and their minions are unable to type well-constructed sentences? Is it a lack of skill, time or care?

Guilty as charged !

Are you calling ReForest a Tomo minion?? LOL

 

[Goodfish]

That wasn't aimed at reforestation. Moreover, the dribble from Tomo's Customer Service Manager and his ilk. Remember Patrick's description of the EVO? Milky...

I rode the stock Firewire Xwing from Japan and it has a lower nose rocker and lower tail rocker than the OB1.
The lower tail rocker on the Xwing feels good and I liked it for the weak waves we were surfing... but I didnt like the lower nose rocker. The nose rocker on the OB1 looks better (IMO) and I feel that functionally a more raised nose rocker helps on steep drops and when doing tight turns.

The tail on the Xwing felt a bit wider than the OB1, but it could have just been the lower rocker.

Obviously, you can customize everything coming direct from Dan... but I like the OB1 better than the stock Xwing. Akira loves his Xwing and he said he rides a stock model.

Hey Defroster, you ever call out Tomo for ripping off Star Wars names or is he too much of a "legend" for that?

I'm thinking of getting a V4RN with QISC. Anyone tried one them?

I had a pointy nose V4 a long time ago.

I couldn't get that board to work. I attributed it to me not clicking with the V4 rocker.

I’ve heard that from a few people, jkb.

What's the best, newest model that is good for SoCal waves? Want something for waist to headhigh in slower reef waves. Low rocker, easy paddler with easy speed/glide, must have at least a torpedo nose (didn't like the looks of my old Evo with chopped nose). Looking to place an order for an XTR when they have another sale. Thanks.

I bet you can still use the code.

I tried to get a GMM2 from Tomo customs, but they said no dice as that's RK's baby.

You pretty much described the Xwing -- I would suggest that model.
You would have to check with XTR to see if they have the file.

I wonder if XTR has the file for the torpedo nose OB1 on Dan’s website. That could be a great board for around here.

I asked last year, but worth asking now. they didn't really seem to be able to modify the outline on the Tomo board files they have.
X-wing sounds like a very flat rocker so could be good in grovel/mush/soft waves aka Japan.
The El Tomos I've seen in the water this year (at slow SD reefs) look good for those conditions too. Guys able to catch a lot of waves on them. Still on my XTR wishlist. I'm hesitant cause I didn't really love that double tail in the CCxTomo Mescaline, and the outline is similar to ElTomo, though maybe closer to V4.

The rocker on the El Tomo is solid. I had a keel version and I liked everything about it, except for the keel set up. I think it would be really fun as a quad.

To my knowledge XTR does not have the torpedo OB1 file. I think Dan is holding that one for his AUS customs only ATM.

Dims suggestion for a 5.8 x 172# guy, middle ager(normally ride around 31L)? ride at same height or around your nose height?
