Anybody have a tomo surfboard and want to share the dimensions? I’ve seen a lot of length and width but I’m interested in the tail and nose…especially for the MPH boards,
Length ???
Width ???
Tail ???
Nose ???
Thickness ???
if you are lazy then 5’10" x 19.5 x 2.5. Me dims 6’1" x 205lbs ±5lbs more + I would say
Airboy808 thanks! Great pics, any chance you could throw a ruler on that thing. At tail what is the width? What about the width 12 inches up from the tail and12 inches down from nose? I’d like to shape someting similar but I can’t decide on the width of the board at nose and more importantly tail. The tail looks really wide like a fish, maybe 9 inches?
i'd also be interesed in some dims airboy808. beent rying to figure out one of these for a while.
Dims i'd love (in addition to above) are:
rocker and foil at nose, 6" nose 12" nose, tail, 6" tail, 12" tail.
so far my copy template is looking like this. this is going to be the next board i make for myself, once i finish working on a mini simmons for a friend.

ps my notes on that pdf are just comments i've picked up from reading a thread over at surfermag
@pirate_agenda, nice profile. I did something similar but with a narrower nose. You have to ignore the rocker in the pdf, its based on standard short board. I believe the tomo boards have more of a relaxed rocker like a fish. I did some measuring of images assuming that the fins have a base of 4.5 inches the tail should be around 9 inches with the exception of the nano which seems to have a much wider tail.
on the rocker and profile - my understanding that it is a HPSB rocker curve, but with 4 inches cut off the nose and tail.
for example if you take a 6'2 HPSB with rocker measurements of:
N - 5.14", N12 - 1.5",
T - 2.5", T12 - 1 1/16"
Chop 4" off the nose and 4" off the tail and you are left with rocker measurements of:
N- 3 1/2" , N12 - 1"
T - 2" , T12 - 3/4"
maybe add a tiny flip and kick to those measurements
I think the theory is that the rocker planes like a board 8 inches longer.
Dan Tomo - please correct me if i'm off track!!
Makes sense on the rocker. I’m going to shape one next month. Hopefully it turns out well.
Started shaping a board but the nose and tail look too narrow compared to pictures of tomo boards online. Can’t believe it will float me. Stil haven’t gotten actual dimensions from a tomo board, been looking at some of the boards from local shapers that are similar. Headed to Sacred Craft next weekend, looking forward to seeing some of the boards in person. Maybe put in an order for one too.
here's how mine came out.
Ended up making it 5'7 x 19 1/2 x 2 3/8. Rocker is 3 5/8 in the nose and 2 1/18 in the tail. the concave is deeep. Went with mckee dims for the fin setup. It is epoxy over PU and was my first time glassing wih epoxy. I was surprised at how much lighter it came out to PE glass with the same schedule and core.
Art on the bottom's not finished yet.
@pirate_agenda that board looks great! Artwork looking great too. You will have to let me know how it rides. I just started mine last weekend but ran out of time after some friends showed up to have me fix some dings. Hopefully I’ll get time before end of month to finish it. I went with a little narrower nose, looking at the profile now, I think that may have been a mistake. It has a deep single concave, deepest between my feet and I was planing on doing a boxy rail. I’ll post pictures when I finish it.
