Slater Designs Cymatic
Presenting the next evolution of Tomo's highly engineered Modern Planing Hulls for Slater Designs.
Introducing Tomo SKX
"My philosophy with a lot of my designs is that at ground level, every board should work well in crappy conditions. The SKX also works well in the conditions I designed it for, which is more of an unruly ocean where a planning hull, a wide tail, might be too much lift and speed. With the SKX, the channel out the squash tail will give a little more control in those situations." – Daniel Thomson.
