i'm holding it out in front of me an off the ground so it looks a lot bigger than it really is.
it has a hullish entry which helps the board get on plane to the single to spiral vee and quad set-up.
i'm hoping it'll hold a nice line through a cutback and into the foamball. i've always liked clean outlines without wings, so i think this board might do the trick.
Although Tomo's been shaping next door, I've wanted to shape a "jet tail" since CJ Hobgood won that Trestles contest on a quad that Bill Johnson shaped. Tomo's an great shaper and an incredible surfer, so one could say that he's an indirect influence...
I was wondering when something like that would show up in your stable. Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMani: what kind of shape is that? looks like a simmons with keel fins... I want it!!!
ReplyDeleteit's a 5'2" x 20" x 2.5" wide nose fish...

Looks like Tomo parted some knowledge...
