I recommend speeding it up to 1.25x Summary, you can get down the nose a lot more on the revo max and grovel the white water better than the seaside and beyond. Doesnt need a tail pad. Feels like a powder snowboard. All the tech and shape etc is standard tomo Evo/Revo stuff.
@TravisVarga thank you for your excellent reviews! I just watched your review of using it, it looks a lot of fun. I'm hoping my local shop gets the option for a demo day as I am a revo lover and desperately want to try the revo max as a grovler middy 6.6 do all board. Then keep my foamie for when it's really really fat and junk
Loving the channel. Can you give a quick numerical comparison on these two boards - 1-5? 5 being the best. Categories would be: paddling, speed on the wave, turning, and ease of use. Also best wave range for the REvo Max - 2-8 ft is a huge range. thanks
Thanks for the appreciation. Ok the scale is tricky to do in comment form but I’d say both boards are a 4ish on each. Revo Max I think paddles better and turns better, Seaside & Beyond can go a bit faster and maybe easier to use since the quad is quite stable. I’d go Revo Max but at these bigger lengths I like a twin fin and I like the nose of Revo Max more. Revo Max wave height - I’d say wave height 2.5ft - 7ft. It does seem large range, but it grovels good. And then it does well in big waves and is almost made for them. But it gets too big and the twins do get a little slidey.
Thanks for the comment. I’d say 6’3 - it will grovel better than the 5’9 but sure simialr and the twin fin lives it up. If you want it to be a mega groveler I could see the 6’6 doing that a bit better, but waist and up with some lush the 6’3 feels great.
If I ride 29-30 ltrs (40s good surfer 180lbs) would you go with the 6 or 6'3? I only surf if its shoulder high or bigger with some push as I foil when its small.
Copy that - I’m riding the 6’3 currently and I’m similar in weight (few pounds less) but I like more volume in my boards. For what you’re used to, the 6’0 makes more sense. I’d argue the 6’3 will get you into waves a bit better and go a little faster, but considering you like 29-30 liters and the 6’0 is 31 liters, that’s the board for you.
If you get the 7’0’ Revo - it’s 55 liters. Seaside Beyond is 45 liters at same height. Helium in theory is lighter - holding the boards side by side tho Revo could feel thinner and more refined. Helium is lighter but i dig the volcanic Ibolic and it feels light/great in hand. Like it more than I thought I would - volcanic helium I think isn’t as good and def a bit heavier - Ibolic volcanic doesn’t have any wood I don’t think just high density foam - it’s pretty much the new LFT.
I recommend speeding it up to 1.25x

Speeding up the audio is always a good play. I like this sum up - thanks

I ride a 5’9 Revo- would you recommend the 6’3 max at similar volume or go up a size?

What did you think of the weight of this Revo Volcanic compared to the Seaside Beyond Hellium?
If you get the 7’0’ Revo - it’s 55 liters. Seaside Beyond is 45 liters at same height. Helium in theory is lighter - holding the boards side by side tho Revo could feel thinner and more refined.

Mate some good ideas but PLEASE find a good editor , this goes on way too long 😜
Haha I appreciate ya. It’s a livestream and I like to be long winded haha. I dropped a regular review today 👀 with edits lol
It's Tom-oh like Parko not Toemo
lol whoops..
