Fucks sake, this guy catches better waves on a life raft than I do on my surfboard. Seriously though, this was a fun to watch as any pro edit I've seen. Rented an LFT Evo back in the day and loved it. Buying that Helium one asap.
what a surfing ...!!! you and mr tomo ... i have evo and i love it but i hope i will get REVO too my hope is that firewire will make REVO in helium ...
So... how come his Evo has channels at the nose and mine doesn’t? Makes me wonder why I don’t see a lot of reviews on this board. I’m not saying I don’t have fun on it sometimes but I think he’s riding a completely different board as he should being the shaper, but why didn’t I get that when I bought it?
it’s probably a prototype that he was working on. he’s always trying new things. could have been an early version and realized that having the channels up that far most likely isn’t good for going into turns. u can see him chop out on a few turns as well. channels lock u into a path and when there’s any chatter on the wave face not ideal to ride on. my guess is he was messing around w it and realized by the time the board came out he needed to get rid of them.
Hi, I know they say to ride this as short as possible....but has anyone got thoughts of riding a longer one in super small waves in place of longboard......just asking as there is a 6'2 for sale 2nd hand (can't really test ride it) but I'm only 75kgs...hmmm not sure.
I would say definitely yes. Tomo's vader and evo are based off of Bob Simmons 9ft keel fin boards. Its basically a miniaturized more high performance version of those boards. Tomo mentioned in an interview that the ratios on the vader (and evo i believe) can be stretched out to a 9ft or 10ft board and still be functional. So i definitely think you can ride an oversized evo in place of a longboard.
Not sure what the artist is mate? But it definitely makes me want an Evo too. lol. The new "Revo" is actually becoming more of a favorite than the Evo. Its a little longer, a bit more tapered rail and pulled in tail too. You should give it a look. I've been having a lot of fun on it. :)
Clearly as I've concluded the Evo's nose template is too wide thus limiting vertical surfing much like a fish ....... watch carefully as even the great Daniel has to nurse the turns. He should've went back to drawing board to refine it IMHO.
So sick 🔥
Dan is the man! That board looks mental on him.
Instantly one of my favorite clips of all time. Thank you!
We need more videos of Tomo surfing!
I agree! Hes so easy to watch!
Tomo is a legend in my books.
100%!

ha. Yeah... Australia delivers up some really good waves. Tomo makes that evo look incredibly fun.
Thanks for the Cinematography Credit
I had no idea. I will correct it right now.
Fantastic video Daniel, makes me miss home. Love ya mate.

curious!!!
That was super incredibly suprisingly awesome!
Yewww. I concur mate.
Beautiful video, well done guys.
Yewww! Its all Tomo on this one. :)
2:31 - 2:42 😱 He comes out of the barrel on a surfing a mat!? How did he do that? Expert level board transfer😜
haha. Definitely expert level. :)

@@DeforestLCooper awesome man thanks for the advice, let's see if I can get this past the wife.
@@davidhowardkiwisurfer3997 legend has it, you're still working it with the wife hahaha. I know the feeling
@@cwr8618 hahaha the legends are correct
This makes me want an evo! Also what’s the song and artist mate?

Just bought a yellow one. Do the yellow ones go better or worse?
Yellow ones go better. They're a little more long in tooth if ya know what i mean. A little more magic in those ones.
Is that helium construction?
Neil Young no. Those are early xtr models. 👍

I definitely found that with mine. I had no issues laying carves out on a face but tight turns, especially bottoms turns, are borderline impossible
@@CainanParker My Cymatic is phenomenal
Cymatic is one of my top 3
Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about. Get off your high horse and onto a surfboard.
Hey @kryptsurf can I get a tune id please? Awesome film.
