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.

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.

Thanks for the review, I'm a cymatic fan for good waves, and wondered of the Revo will be my step down from that for smaller waves? How would you compare the 2? Should I add a litre or two from my Cymatic?

I think the ideal size is the same height and volume as you would ride your Cymatic, but you can absolutely size it up and use it for a smaller wave range.

@racer1…. when you said medium “reactor” rears I think you meant medium “performer”.

ah sh!t

 

[racer1]

I'll refund you bro, just keep them

 

[JDJ]

Classy move, Racer!

Performer quad rears are better anyway. Most normal of the branded FCS II style

Please don’t. I’m just busting your balls. I’ll definitely use them.

 

[racer1]

Ok, try them. If they feel shitty let me know. my bad, I totally jumped to conclusions mapped it.

I was going to correct you guys when I saw the reactor/performer confusion because if they'd been reactor rears I would have swooped on them a while ago but i was like, "ah, they'll definitely realize the mistake before doing the deal".

Oops.

Sounds like this was a coordinated effort.

I noticed it too, probably because I was trying to get my hands on some reactor rears recently. Just figured racer was gaslighting or something.

I ended up with performers too, btw. No complaints.

Reactors are considerably more upright, now that I compare them.

Correct. The theory was to try a Rake fin up front and an upright fin in the back (the JKB special). But now Racer is forcing me to try an upright fin in front and a rake fin in the rear.

 

[JDJ]

Just because it's not what you wanted to buy, we all know that Racer's performer rears will be the magic set up.

TBF, performers are pretty neutral. I bet you'll dig em

These could be fun if you want upright trailers:

Do you have a set of controllers? you could use those rears for an extremely upright rear. They're also 80/20 foil which adds a variable though. I feel like they wouldn't work well with front fins other than controllers, but you never know.

They work well in that role. I've used them as quad rears with various fronts.
