It will be a laser beam in big waves, but you gotta get into 'em first...

Not really though, XTR's tech (as I understand it) is wildly different than his basic bitch EPS he uses here. In Aus he uses bread n butter EPS blank & carbon strips.
No - never. The Vader came out when I was still a "beginner" surfer and I didn't ride it in those type of conditions.
I've been wanted to ride your deathstar in some larger waves, but i was always waiting for the right conditions (because the volume is so low). I wanted a nice clean bigger day to test it out. Never got the chance.
That's wild! I've never thought of the Vader as a twin. Its already so loose and maneuverable.
A bit of Tomo/Vader footage for ya's.
Hey hey hey… the Red board curse only applies to Album. Leave the Vader out of this! lol.
Tomo is ripping the bag out in those clips! Albeit, he has a perfect wave to show case any board. After riding the board for about a week or so I have some feedback but still working out fins and waves types, etc. so I’ll spare the forum my vain game 2 cents until I’ve established somewhat of a more solid opinion.
looks fun, i like boards that feel like that, but also it honestly looks too slippy and like he would be better off on a regular short board there. Something he would be able to really put his foot into. But i have the same criticism of watching Slater on these little boards.
The recent videos of Tomo on the sci fi looks a lot better under his feet.
Longer rail line is better, IMO. But he looks sharp on the Vader 2.
No…you know how things work here. You would order both. Then after some testing, keep the one you like more and sell the other
Bort looked everything but fast to me. Maneuverable and nimble, yes. Was Daniel ripping, yes, but I didn’t pick up on instantaneous speed. The OG Vader was one of the very few borts I bought OTR and had really high hopes, but could not make the thing go. I rode it at really good Lowers and it felt like I had a spa bubble percolating under the tail and the corners off the nose kept catching with my admittedly too front foot focused technique on wrappy’s. I’d still like to give the 2.0 a go. I should have demo’d one at Camp Shred, but I was having too much fun on the 5’10” Panda Shiitake HP I took out.
Neither for low end of SD quiver. GMM2 or GTFO
*5’8 GMM2 or GTFO
ok so for a 5’10 185lb human, very average ability, 5’8 x 19.5 x 2.5 GMM2?
