Introducing Tomo SKX

Stuart Kennedy // SKX // Steve Sherman

"My philosophy with a lot of my designs is that at ground level, every board should work well in crappy conditions.

With the SKX, the channel out the squash tail will give a little more control in those situations." – Daniel Thomson.

It felt like it had a good, continuous flex; it wasn’t a short, snappy twinge of a flex, it was a good, drawn-out, drivey flex..." — Taj Burrow
