Worth every cent!!! I’m able to push as hard as possible to draw out turns as much as possible, very forgiving and generates plenty of speed when in the pocket. Absolutely loving it. Highly recommend for people who want to excel in those conditions when it’s well overhead and want a firm grip to the surface of the wave.

Hard to get used to this board. So different experience from all the other reviews. Keel fins made it boggy so had to change straight away. Can’t believe everyone’s giving it 5 stars for paddling? I normally ride a hypto krypto and that is way easier. Board is bloody heavy also certainly has momentum but can’t really flick it around. I’ll stick with it because I do like the board but I’m some what a little disappointed. Sorry Gary

Over the years I have owned four different Tomo Boards. 1. Vanguard 2. Vader 3. El Tomo 4. Timbertek Evo Out of all the boards I found the Vader the fastest board and most loose turning board but very fragile given its shovel shaped nose. Comparing the Eltomo to the Vader it is a little bit slower but very controlled through its turns. It's got a very different feel for a Tomo board its alot less Skateboard feeling and throws alot of spray through its turns. In my opinion the board performs alot better in waves abit larger from shoulder high to 1.5 x over head high it seems to hold its rail really well in steep sucky waves and navigates bumps with ease for an epoxy board. I've left a clip of me (an average surfer) surfing a slightly larger wave this week. Sorry in advance for the lines in the footage.

Love this board, really helped my surfing improve. Paddles really well and gets up and going with speed. Absolutely recommend for waves up to 4ft. Still ok when gets bigger just ride it as a thruster rather than a quad.

Unreal board, best I have ridden hands down. Plenty of drive, performs well in the pocket and the epoxy seems indestructible

Awesome step up. Inspeires confidence when things get a little serious. Round tail has great hold in steeper faces and whilst not the most dynamic board is perfect for most surfers who want to surf on those bigger days. Would likely be a great board to take to indo as it flys when the waves have some punch. Very happy with my Raging Bull and happily recommend it!!

Love this Board. Is my daily driver and works in pretty much everything under 5ft. Great paddler, makes getitng into waves easy in crowded line up. Supper stable at take off but has great drive down the line, holds off the bottom and can get the tail releasing off the top. Perfect for most of the waves we get most of the time in Sydney and HiFi construction makes it feel more lively on those smaller days. Only limitaiton is whaen the waves have a bit more push or there is a lot of chatter on the face, find it hard to get the rail to grab in those siutaions but I have other boards for that. Overall a great board for most surfers which is why they are so popular I guess.

Amazing to look at, even more amazing to ride. Has become my go to everyday board. Surprisingly agile, this board just goes in everything from waist to slightly overhead.

Second lost board I’ve owned. Really fun board that turns well while also being easy to paddle. It’s a wider board with not too much rocker, a pulled in nose and fun fish tail that works in a wide range of condition, waist to overhead. Would recommend

Awesome and super fun little board. Ride a good 5-6inches smaller than your normal short board. A little twitchy at first but quickly got used to it and it's now probably my favourite and the board I have the most fun on. Awesome drive and speed when you get a wall to pump on, yet able to bang a turn well beyond my ability. Get one!
