A quality shape like the Tomo Designs Evo Helium Surfboard offers versatility, leading to a bounty of waves. Designed utilizing the Modern Planing Hull concept popularized by Tomo shaper Daniel Thomson, the Evo has softer features and more outline curve to encourage smoother transitions and a more ‘in the pocket’ line of attack. A wider central wide point comparative to the Vader, the Evo should be considered favorable to smaller, weaker waves, however like most Tomo MPH Designs, the Evo will still be quite functional in overhead waves conditions.
Maintaining an almost symmetrical outline and a completely unique and highly innovative “Double inside single concave into split quad concave” planing hull, the Evo feels as if it’s almost ‘levitating’ on the water! Yet once on rail, it has a precise rail sensitivity and hold. The Evo should be ridden as short as possible with user friendly volumes packed into the shortest MPH sizings yet offered by Tomo.

Product Construction
Helium Core Technology
A stringerless EPS core with flex controlled at the rails made from Paulownia and Balsa wood - this construction is light and lively underfoot, and excellent at generating speed in everyday waves.
Additional Info
Helium Core Technology
This is your ideal technology choice for generating speed in weak, everyday waves. The Firewire Helium technology is a stringerless 1.0 lb EPS foam core with flex controlled with rails made from Paulownia and Balsa wood, running the complete length from nose to tail, combined with a 3mm proprietary aerospace composite deck skin.
The wood rails enable a lively flex in the rail that gives a loaded-up, spring-back feeling, and the deck skins make your board feel this way for a long time.
Helium deck skins are beneficial for both durability and performance - and have a memory that will rebound back to form after being compressed, making it very responsive in addition to keeping your deck surface pristine for many years.
Helium Performance
Ideal for generating speed in weak, everyday waves - this is your choice if you want unmatched response, lightweight and durability. Helium has a lively, responsive flex underfoot, and surfs quickly and explosively when creating tight angles.
