The Sci-Fi is designed to perform in anything from waist to just over head high waves, but like some of the other Tomo shapes will probably be comfortably surfed in bigger and better waves than it was originally intended.
The overall look is pretty space-age with a flat low entry rocker and a wide bat-tail to help carry speed and prevent bogging down through the flats and fat sections of the wave. Paddling is the key to catching weaker waves, and the flatter rocker will assist in that department.
Kelly says; “The Sci-Fi is a board that has an inverted round tail curve. If you take those lines, cut and invert them, they form this bat tail of sorts. It's a throwback to a board I had as a kid in that way. This tail has tons of area and a relatively flat rocker that helps with lift and planing. The tail and bottom curves give a nice lift and bite but also allow a very manoeuvrable board with good control. I like the quad version for such a large area but the Thruster has a great feel here also. Maybe I'll try it as a twin fin. Any other reasons you picked this board? When Tomo and I started surfing his boards together, this one really stuck out to me and so we tuned it in for what seemed unique and performed well. It looks like a novelty idea but once you ride a wave it's clear it's anything but that”.
This Board is Pre-Surfed and ready to catch more waves.
