FIREWIRE "EL TOMO"

Most people know Daniel “Tomo” Thomson for his futuristic, snub-nosed, high-performance shortboards, but what many don’t realize is that he has been a committed fan of the fish for most of his life. Growing up under the tutelage of early fish aficionados such as George Greenough, Tomo redefined what was possible on twin-fin fish early in his career, and has brought many of the fish’s design principles to bear in his modern shapes. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Tomo has a fish of his own design in his lineup of shapes.

The El Tomo Fish is a redux of his original Tomo Fighter Jet Fish, but with a handful of updated tweaks. First of all, the board is a dedicated quad rather than a twin-fin, for added control in the pocket and maneuverability off the bottom. The board features a classic fish template, combined with Tomo’s quad inside single concave, which allows the board to turn and transition quickly and efficiently. And the bump wing giving way to a double-diamond tail adds extra release to push the high-performance threshold even higher.

The El Tomo Fish comes with generous volume, making it a great grovel board when the waves are small and gutless. It is also stable enough to support intermediate surfers, without sacrificing the high-performance edge that experts are looking for. If you are searching for an updated, modern twist on the classic fish from a surfer/shaper who has proven the shape countless times, the El Tomo Fish fits the bill.
