Tomo MPH

[ReForest]

maybe I'm late to the party but I thought tomos only went well as thusters

I say you are right @silentbutdeadly. I bet @jkb can attest that because of the parallel outline in Tomo's boards, a thruster setup works best. It provides more pivot that a quad, and parallel railed boards tend to be drivey down the line and do not naturally pivot up towards the lip.

Fondled some of the new Tomo Revos at HSS. Definitely felt very good and looked very good. Seemed user friendly as well.

Haha. Dude! I know you're yankin my chain, but I am definitely frothin.
I am a mere mortal so it's rad to see pro's getting down on a board that you're stoked on.

@oeste858 what are the dims of your revo stoke

nah I’m 5 years behind on tomo tech… still frothin over my SP2 & Evo in XTR.
Now they don’t make ‘em anymore so they’re actually collectors’ items!

Dude's too busy polishing his Pyzel and Album showroom to deal with tomo's

I'm excited about this board, but to show a video for a new design, where the surfer is just standing in a barrel the whole time, doesn't make any sense.

There is more footage coming. Its a brand new board and only a handful of people have ridden it. I agree that I would like to see more "turn" footage on it. Its such a unique design. It deserves some splayning (Ricky Ricardo voice).

Here is more footage from Timmy with some turns.

Plus, I think Timmy likes being in the barrel too, lol, so that's a factor.

Tomo on sizing the Revo, fins to use, explaining the design and discussing iBolic.
Time stamped to start from how to size it properly.

Sorry to hear about ol' mate Tomo's knee problems. A year and half out the water is hard time. Only interested in a Revo if it's not made by Firewire.

Pretty weird interview actually. Shred Show guy is always awkward and cringey, but the content is weird too. At one point he's down-selling his Tomo fins (others work better), then he's stating that he put the board up for the market without doing the research and development on it (just went by feel).

 

[montygoesbananas]

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

I seem to recall he was talking about the final stages of it. Made me think of how the old master shapers in their twilight years do it. They are tweaking and refining but not testing it themselves.

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.
