This topic comes up all the time, but as Pearl points out if you don't want Firewire construction check Tomos website and get the real deal 
. Also his shapes are constantly evolving, so you will get the latest tuning.
Also I will once again add that all kiteboarding companies I've seen doing Tomo rip offs (or cut off nose and tail boards) are totally blowing it, they don't understand that you can't simply cut the nose and tail off and expect it to be like a Tomo.
wow! That's great guys, I really appreciate all the opinions, - I guess that's forums doing what they do bestT eh!? I will check all those options. the Vanguard looks pretty f,in radical! I dunno if I'd trust it on a less than perfect wave to surf, but defo on the kite can see the potential - ill demo one. Any one out there got a BWS with the super duper mesh? Just how much tougher does it make the board? Over and out.
