7'10" Vangard Tomo inspired garage build

[Jradtke]

7'10" x 30.5" x 4.25". Around 115- 120L. 14lbs, carbon under ash deck patch.  Had it out in weak knee high glass.  Very fast and loose.  Should be awesome in bigger conditions.

very nice mate, I'm working on something similar but the tail is fatter....I may rethink this.

I like it jRad!

Nice treatment of the forward rails on the bottom, and I am a fan of narrower tails on these "Blunts"

Great deckpad!!!!!

Can't wait to hear how it handles the good stuff.

That's a great looking board! And yeah, the way the rails on the bottom were shaped looks awesome and totally functional. Any updates for how it rides? I'm really surprised that a big tomo style board like this is only 115 to 120 liters though. It seems like the volume would be a lot higher.

Love the rail concept (especially towards the nose).  Very cool.

So good. What's the bottom contour like in the front and middle?

Also, talk a bit about the rails, planned or just how it happened? No offense but a lot of my own stuff just "happens."

The bottom is quite complex.  There is a concave between the chine on the rails on the front 2/3, turning to a v on the tail.  I will attach a photo of the bottom details later today, I pretty proud of the final product.  So far I've only had one decent day of waist high glass and I like the speed, skatey feel, weight and float.  I haven't found anything that I don't like yet.
