That's a 34L board. If you're used to that size, paddling won't be an issue. Mine paddle just fine. I'm not an El Tomo person, but I've never had an issue paddling his boards. Then again, I'm kinda known as someone who can paddle.

Ah, I've heard many stories about El Paddler. That's you?!
Everything you've heard is a lie.

Have you ever considered getting a slightly oversized GMM2? I heard they go good...
that's so kind of you to offer to inspect that board, haggle the seller down on price and then pack and ship it to me up here in Oregon
Never, ever, too soon.Too soon, bro. Too soon.
@ReForest gave those fins a run. The flex twins with Shapers trailers today in some marginal beachbreak waves. Feel that set up could be best on a nice long fast breaking pointbreak where it would feel good doing high line speed runs. For beachbreaks I will stick to my usual quad set in the pics. Don't even know whose signature is on them. Anyone? I avoid the twin and centre trailer set up as you have as it tends to give my lower back grief unfortunately but no doubt would be more pivotal for beachbreaks.
Just came back from a 30 minute wakies, thanks for asking
I basically live the life of a dog -> Sleep, nibble, fart, wakies, sleep -> Rinse and repeat 3 times a day.

Nice! Lennox looks like a perfect wave for testing boards and fins. We have some swell coming in the next few days so I might try the Webber fronts and with a couple different rears at Trestles. Such a unique flex feeling with those fins thats kind of addicting.
@Goodfish is preying on my impressionable personality. Strangely, it might be working because an oversized GMM2 might be really fun and a good learner board to pass down to the kids and wife
waist - overhead its fun board. HP but different. Great board to get a taste of the tomo sauce
V4 or hydronaut would work in your zone on the not so out of control days.

funny, I have your old SP2+GMM2 2-pack. Love 'em. Thanks bro.
Interesting. have you had both? There is something about the Cymatic/SP2 design that has an almost out-of-control feeling that is... kinda addicting. I'm not sure if it's the battail or what, but it's different from any of the other tomos I've had.
I couldn't ever get behind the bat tail, as more of a down the line surfer. The pivot-release it had, which is how the board is made and intended to go, was a bit abrupt for my tastes. I can see it being super positive in beach break conditions, but the stuff I surf in didn't (for me) make it addicting. On what were intended to be drawn out cutbacks, I'd pivot and lose all speed at about the 70% point in the turn. As you said, "an almost out-of-control feeling."
I'm spoiled with longer waves. Again, I can see it being a super positive thing for beach break and fast close-out style conditions. Just giving my $.02.
