Yep, that's the one!@jkb is that the board model you have of you on that nice clip at oside or am I thinking of someone else?
I'm curious why it's not marketed as a grovel board.Yes, the tail is absolutely supposed to be that wide. It's one of the reasons it grovels so well.
I've found that it has a surprisingly large range for its small stature.I'm curious why it's not marketed as a grovel board.
well he’s gotta dial 4 more in after this oneI might be interested in this after you're done with it.
I can imagine.well he’s gotta dial 4 more in after this one
It may or may not have a firewire sticker on it.I might be interested in this after you're done with it.
Whoa, I'd kill for one of those, that looks immense.She's lookin good boys! She wasnt quiet done. She needed to be QC'd and add thermo-vents. I think i'm gonna pick her up tonight or tomorrow morning.
I was a little surprised at how wide the tail is?
Also the nose template is super cool. Not quite as rounded like an Evo but no sharp edges like a Vader. I dig it a lot!

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.Lookin' good @ReForest ! I like the strigerless look.

No tomo experience but wide tail si so score a wide tail pad. I like astro deck CF or dakine Bruce is nice.I probably would have never gotten this model if it wasn't for you insisting @jkb .

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.
how'd the concave feel on it? Was it more subtle? Hard to tell by the photos.She's lookin good boys! She wasnt quiet done. She needed to be QC'd and add thermo-vents. I think i'm gonna pick her up tonight or tomorrow morning.

i've already called dibs on his 1st and 3rd rejects. You can have #2I might be interested in this after you're done with it.
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?how'd the concave feel on it? Was it more subtle? Hard to tell by the photos.

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?DT's signature huuuuge
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?Pretty subtle.

I am super excited to try it!
