The SKX is the first ever Tomo Shortboard featuring a more traditional nose profile combined with traditional thumb tail and an innovative quad inside single concave bottom contour.
The SKX is also Stu Kennedy’s go to board when contest conditions are less than stellar. The ride is ultra responsive with notable drive and lift created by the planing hull, making it the ideal choice for those with an aggressive carving approach to wave riding, coupled with an aerial attack.
Although designed to excel in all waves 1-4ft, the SKX is also an excellent onshore condition destroyer, perfect for linking sharp radical turns through bumpy sections with speed and control.
The SKX is Stuart Kennedy’s go to all-round shortboard for the 2017 season. Designed from a Sci-Fi foundation with a pulled in squash tail, the SKX is Stu’s board of choice for tricky contest conditions, such as variable beach breaks or choppy water where the Sci-Fi may red-line due to excess speed and lift from the wide tail block. The SKX features a compact outline with an even volume distribution and rocker that hints slightly to the lower end of the general wave spectrum. Combined with the Trademark Tomo (QISC) ‘Quad-Inside-Single-Concave’, the SKX has instant ‘get up and go’ and incredible responsiveness that compliments a dynamic wave attack. Volume suggestion: the SKX should be ridden slightly higher volumed due to the loose and highly responsive ride characteristics. (e.g. + 0.5 to 1.0L) TECH: LFT
