The highest-performance carbon construction of Daniel Thomsons minimalist design optimized for pure function, in collaboration with Kelly Slater. Introducing the Mindcraft X in Proflex Technology by Daniel Thomson, a minimalist design optimized for pure function in collaboration with Kelly Slater built in our new highest-performance carbon vacuum lamination construction, just like all Firewire Surfboards and Slater Designs boards. The Mindcraft X was designed to connect the surfer to their equipment like never before, a mind surfing experience. The outline was chosen for its minimalism and pure function, a seamless blend of straightened and elliptical curves, says Daniel. The shape and design provide tons of speed and drive, with a feeling of pinpoint precision and the ability to turn on a dime - this board stays under your feet and goes where you want it to go. For the outline, which is a blend of straightened and elliptical curves with a V-Nose. This super functional V-Nose profile is designed to be forgiving in the most critical moments, and is design aesthetic that both Tomo and Kelly feel is superior in performance for surfing outside of the jersey. A bump wing round tail completes the balance and symmetry of this design, allowing for tight turns at speed with exceptional control. The bottom contours are smoother, more continuous, and more subtle compared to Tomos past models, offering plenty of speed and flow with a moderate performance rocker. Theres a single to double concave that keeps the design engaged with the wave face while still offering lively response familiar to Tomos other designs. Fully optimized to be ridden as either a Quad or Thruster, allowing for maximum versatility in a waves 2-6 foot. Like many of Tomos models, the Mindcraft X excels in waves with more energy, but can also be ridden in smaller conditions. Recommended for the 2-6 range, with power and punchy pockets. Built with five boxes, Tomo optimized this design to work equally as well in the Quad or Thruster configurations. Kelly typically rides his Slater Designs Endorfins KSR rake template or his Slater Designs Endorfins KS1 pivot template in this shape. Similar to many of Tomos snub nose, parallel outline shapes, the Mindcraft X is uniquely versatile in that it has volume distributed throughout and plent of planing surface such that you can ride this shape several inches shorter than your standard shortboard.
