Wondering if I can appeal to the Tomo brains trust to help choose next board (just snapped one). I’m looking for a new daily driver with decent performance in good waves, I do have a fish for real grovel waves. Have an SKX which I love but I do find the low entry rocker catches on steep takeoffs and reentries sometimes, probably user error but I like a bit more nose entry. I also find the low rail isn’t great for me in choppy condition (funny because Tomo said that’s what it was designed for).
I was tossing up between a sci fi2.0 and hydroshort. Sci fi has a nice amount of nose flip looks like it would suit well, only downside I can see is the bat wing I know will probably get rail shatters due to LFT. I love the look of the hydroshort but worry it might overlap too much with the SKX, would like to get a helium board though. So question is if anyone has ridden both these boards, which takes a late drop better, and which has the lower wave height capability?
The SKX will stay in the quiver because it’s a magic board in the right conditions.
