Firewire Slater Designs Cymatic I-Bolic Core With Volcanic Lamination SurfboardSci-Fi + Omni = Cymatic. Daniel Thomson's popular performance shape.The Cymatic is an avant-garde, ultra high-performance machine.This shape is a hybrid of the Sci-Fi and Omni models - you can almost imagine the two boards combining naturally one night with Tomo away from the shaping bay.Fans of the Sci-Fi will immediately notice Tomo’s unmistakable double bat tail. Much of the Sci-Fi’s popularity in 2016 and 2017 has been this tail design coupled with Tomo’s 'Quad Inside Single Concave.'Functionally, the marriage of these two design elements has been brilliant - the double bat adding much needed grip to the wave’s face, offsetting the extreme lift and speed created by the Quad Inside Single Concave.By melding these elements with the reduced swing weight of the Omni’s nose, Daniel Thomson has created an evolved version of both boards that surfs quite similarly to the Sci-Fi but with slightly more rocker, and an increased ease of use in waves 1 to 5 feet.When it comes to waves of size, surfers who love that familiar ‘barely out of control in a fun way’ speed when the waves creep above head high will appreciate this board’s feel in proper waves as well.Both Kelly Slater and Daniel Thomson put their final stamp of approval on this shape in 2017, and we can’t wait to present the next evolution of Tomo’s minimalistic, and highly engineered, modern planning hulls for Slater Designs.Wave TypeIn line with Tomo's passion of creating ultra high-performance designs, the Cymatic wants to be in decent to good waves. The double bat tail gives you grip in hollower waves, and the lift and speed created by Tomo's Quad Inside Single Concave will allow you to make sections you previously thought impossible. Recommended in 2-6' surf and will work in any conditions, but excels in average to good waves.Board FeaturesThe top half of the Omni combined with the bottom half of the Sci-Fi gets you quite close to the Cymatic's outline. This shape has reduced swing weight because of the snub nose and slightly more rocker than the Sci-Fi, with an increased ease of use in waves below head high. Recommended with the KS1 fin template, ridden as a quad set in a smaller size than you normally would ride.TechnologyI-Bolic Core TechnologyI-beam core construction with flex controlled at the rails using high density foam - an engineering feat developed for performance.Volcanic Lamination TechnologyForged in fire, this Basalt lamination technology is our sustainable alternative to carbon, and is our most durable with elevated response.Fin SystemFutures ( Fins Not Included)
