"The Fastest Surfboard in the World?!“ - TOMO / DARK ARTS - VADER V2 

I know what you mean. When I rode my 5'6"x19 1/2" twin fish for the 1st time, there was no going back!

Ha! My 6 year old is now on my 10 year old multi repaired vanguard. She loves it!

Is that why you don’t see not one pro in the world riding them? Because they are that good huh? Save your garbage pitch pal. Tomo and firewire have been pushing hype and nonsense for years now it’s obvious by the lack of pros that ride these trash bag boards

@@michaelb7864 We’re not pros. That’s why they’re so good for us consumers because it enables us to go further than our non-pro technique allows.

@@ETYSURF the boards are trash and they look like trash tell yourself whatever you want. If you need a board that looks like a wake board to be able to hold a line or make a section then ride a mid length until your skills are good enough to ride a short board. Ugly little over priced boards and btw I highly doubt they improve your surfing and I love how you actually called yourself a consumer. What a kook

Obviously you haven't ridden a Tomo. If you're a pro, good luck to you and your sponsors. If you're not, get a Tomo. But you sound like a kook to me.@@michaelb7864

I'm 60 and ride a 5' 11' Evo. It changed my surfing for the better too. I have a 6' 4" Cymatic as a step up (probably a tad too long). Both boards are brilliant. @michaelb7864 Have you ridden Tomos? I was sceptical at first but they are great boards. See if you can get hold of one from a mate and give it a go.

Vanguard was the fastest Tomo ever--- could this be faster, yet more maneuverable? hmmmmm?

It should be by the looks of it. I mostly surf my Vangard on down-the-line speed demon waves.@@TheSchmuel

If it's anything like the older version of the Vader, there is not much rocker. Would have less rocker than the Cymatic. You ride the board so short that most of the reasons you'd add rocker to a normal shortboard do not apply. I ride a 5'7" Cymatic but my Vader is 5'4". Maybe with the full length vee on the V2 you'd want to ride it longer? Dunno.

Stu was on the Sci-Fi

Doubt it.

Stu rode the OG Vader at a comp in Huntington Beach before he rode the Sci-fi…..

The rail line is symmetrical to the front of the board, which does matter. The Vader's rail line starts where you would typically be about 2/3rds or 3/4ths the way up the board. That makes the overall rail line both shorter and straighter. Also the symmetry matters more when you are paddling because you have a larger amount of foam forward under your chest, helping your paddle power, but without changing where the wide point of the board is which will change how it surfs. Remember, surfboard design isn't just about how water flows over the board. Its also about weight distribution, foil and buoyancy. A symmetrical shape like this will eliminate useless swing weight at the far end of the board, increase the amount of foam under your chest (in comparison to a similar sized "traditional" board), keep the rail line symmetrical and the wide point in the center. All of that matters and none of it has anything to do with how the water moves under the board when you are riding it. Symmetry does do something. Now, does it actually need to be a diamond to achieve all of the above? No. It doesn't. A blunt nose like the Omni or Evo would have worked just as well, but its the same for every surfboard. The very front of all of them is simply a matter of aesthetics. The pointy nose on a shortboard doesn't do anything. Really, in the vast majority of circumstances the forward 1/3rd of a board doesn't even come into contact with the water when its being ridden. Why are pointy noses better than diamonds?

Shhhhh you are going to expose firewire and tomo secrets to selling trash boards to clueless kooks. This has been there plan from start over hype boards and make the public think they can do things other boards can’t. Firewire and Tomo are garbage trash peddlers

So buy one don’t post your kook comments and then not spend over $1k to get a kook board put your money where your mouth is go buy this hipster trash

No,wrong !

Just ride one... Youll go Fast and you'll have more fun... Then you'll think-- who cares how it works, it just flat our works and you'll smile a lot more too

What’s your address?

Are you a science board fan?

I shaped a board like this and pumped it out to 24x4 x 6’ super fun 😂

Lose weight

Quads are much faster on these shapes

I ride mine as a thruster and it works very well!

It is to the kooks that listen to the garbage that firewire and Tomo peddle. They are the most lying and trash peddling surf companies and shapers to exist. What else would you expect from this guy? Every board he’s ever shaped he and or firewire claim is the best or fastest or whatever most surfboard on the planet. Utter trash snake oil salesman

I think it is! I've never had a board that felt this good. Worth every penny IMO.

@@DeforestLCooper what about looking like a donkey when your up on your feet on a wake board is that worth the money?

@@michaelb7864 That's free for everyone! 😆🤙

@@DeforestLCooper I got two PU boards that goes faster and last way longer for the same price 🫨
