I've found that it has a surprisingly large range for its small stature.
Marketing it as a groveler would pigeonhole it when it can perform all-arounder duties as well.
I agree, I feel like it's more of a socal DD (aka a solid low end). I rode mine in shoulder plus punchy beach break barrels, tiny beaches, head high slopey reefs with some steep sections without a problem.
well he’s gotta dial 4 more in after this one
It may or may not have a firewire sticker on it.
I probably would have never gotten this model if it wasn't for you insisting @jkb . I'm actually really interested in seeing how she goes! Curious about how the stringerless construction will feel too.
Question for you - should I put the tail pad on as far back as I can (since it has a wide tail) or line it up the same as I would normally? Reason i ask is because i noticed the fin cluster is a little higher off the tail that most of Tomo's other board (at least I think it is) so i dont want to put it too far back unless i have to. Kind of a random question but i thought it was worth asking.
No tomo experience but wide tail si so score a wide tail pad. I like astro deck CF or dakine Bruce is nice.
how'd the concave feel on it? Was it more subtle? Hard to tell by the photos.
i've already called dibs on his 1st and 3rd rejects. You can have #2
Pretty subtle. I was sliding my hand across it as I was talking to Jerry and I kept having to look down to and move the board to confirm it had the QISC. It was definitely there, but felt more subtle than compared to an Evo or Cymatic. It could have just been this board in particular? Maybe someone else that has one can confirm?
I am super excited to try it!
Put the pad as far back as it'll go.
Fins should be set pretty far back on this one.
Front fin dots should be 10" from the tail and the center fin dot should be at 3"
I think he asked for an extra large fake DT signature. Am I right, @ReForest?
Board looks sick apart from those XTR lams on the rails...
Yes I believe it’s the shallowest tomo channel of any of his boars I have. I assume it’s to balance out the ultra parallel-railed outline in some way. Certainly doesn’t need any more speed! Maybe the points right at the tail might help slightly claw/control that wide tail. There’s so much going on with this design… Who knows?
agree with Jkb on pad placement all the way back. Reminds me to get back to crank turns as I tend to drift forward for speed runs
MR + training wheel or Reactor tri
