Hi havoc, I recall asking you about your tomo as you said it is a great paddler.
Seeing as he's there...and I'm here no chance to feel one up.
Is it the best paddler in your quiver (sub 6' cstergory)?




for catching waves and flat water paddling with little bump, it's exceptional. when there's some bump or paddling through washy whitewater, it becomes pretty difficult. this is most likely to the dampening rate of the eps+epoxy. feels lively when duckdiving also. just a bit busier when there's bump which is expected with this design.

I agree with Ivan, I recently paddled a low volume hpsb that cut through the chop and wash much better than my stubby boards. also caught waves with push super easy.

so clearly, it's not a function of foam but really the overall design. I'm continually learning about new things regarding paddling, wave catching regarding boards with different shapes, lengths, and materials.

oh yeah, indodreams ur on ignore so really no sense responding to any of my posts since I can't nor have any desire to read any of your posts. you pretty much disqualified yourself from any meaningful design discussion given your limited knowledge and experience so please get off my thread.
