History Lesson with Matt Chojnacki

While in Noosa, we had the opportunity to have a little taste of history through The Noosa Festival Old Mal Division. A division were boards made pre 1960’s were brought out from under competitor's homes or taken out from its dusty cotton case, to be displayed and ridden by talent from todays ages ranging from 14 to upper 60’s. A lot of boards were Australian influence and according to Matt (Chono) Chojnacki, Australian surf history intellect, “were made during a pinnacle time in surfboard revolution in Sydney from the 1960’s up until the 80’s.”

Introducing the Neutrino in I-Bolic 2.0 Technology designed by Daniel Thomson, Tomo's latest Modern Planing Hull and performance hybrid.<br /><br />Inspired by the Nano, one of Tomo's original Quad Inside Single Concave Modern Planing Hull designs from around 2008/2009, the Neutrino features the same wide chop tail design - one of the lowest drag tail designs you can make, allowing the water to release perfectly symmetrically or freely over the chop angle at the same time, which translates into low drag, high-speed surfing, and ideal for small wave conditions and creating speed when the wave energy is low. Tomo's Quad-In-Single-Concave design helps give the board lift and make the board feel really free on the water, it makes the board go across the boundary layer of the water with less drag and more speed.<br /><br />The template of the Neutrino is Tomo's ultra parallel rail line, which is one of Tomo's staple designs, which allows you to size the board as short as possible while maintaining maximum functional rail line throughout the design: like a skateboard for the ocean. The nose has nice area to paddle forward and catch waves with, and is great for low swing weight performance surfing so that you can hit the lip and have no feeling of extra swing weight on the nose of your board.<br /><br />Pair with Firewire Velox Fin Set as a Thruster for the best performance, and try our Slater Designs Endorfins Twin + 2 for more speed and looseness when conditions are small and gutless.<br /><br />Shop the Neutrino in USA:<br />Shop the Neutrino in ANZ:<br />Shop the Neutrino in the EU: (coming later in August)<br />Shop the Neutrino in the UK:<br /><br />For Wave Type, the Neutrino works amazing in small waves but holds up in medium to even double overhead waves, and is ideal for small wave conditions in which you need to create speed when energy is low. Because it offers the drive and foam of a much bigger board in a smaller package, it's bottom contour is the perfect design to get you going in small waves and give you a lot of hold when there's a bit of juice.For Board Features, the Neutrino was inspired by the Nano and features Tomo's signature Quad-In-Single-Concave Modern Planing Hull bottom contours with a wide chop tail design and an ultra parallel outline with the wide point super narrow for easy rail-to-rail transition. Foiled for performance but offers lots of range thanks to the lengthened rail line you get from the parallel outline, offering incredible drive and control.<br /><br />Follow us on Instagram:<br />https://www.instagram.com/firewiresurfboards<br />https://www.instagram.com/tomo_surfboards
