Just finished a couple of proto types Inspired by tomos vanguard been kiting on a 5"7" of similar dimensions they are great in thd light wind cAn use a smaller size kite

4"11x18.25x2.25" the snizzzle


5"3x17.75"x2.25" radstar pro. Both boards hot wired from styro vaccume bagged balsa dek carbon reinforced standing area with basalt fibre on da bottom 4"11 is the sweet est ride just waiting for a cure to get the 5"3 out

Let us know how the 5'3 goes. Looks pretty decent!
I found these boards to ride really well for mushy stuff and excelled mainly at airs (due to the decrease in nose surface area). When the surf got clean and bigger (4 to 6) they are still totally useable but I found, my stocko 6'1 to be a nicer ride.

The 5'1 I made was pretty small feeling, I imagine a 4'11 to feel tiny. I think if I make another I would do around a 5'3 x 18 x 2.25, similar to your bigger one I guess. I'm also keen to try some different nose shapes.

I noticed recently in Germany that LF and SS are both making rip-off Tomos this year, both of which looked pretty horrible in their own ways.

Nice work Radman. About time we saw some 2015 boards, those companies releasing 2014 boards won't know what hit em.

Do these boards perform well for wake, wave, course racing, freestyle with speed, pop, light wind & suit themselves for professional riders and beginners? This is what I expect these days when I read a review or marketing material.

They have a race feel up wind positively track on wave like the best surf Board ever pop good and flat water trickery x cell Magic board

Jobs on Celt be on the old tufflight 4"11 feels Bigger under foot than a 5"8 x 19 regular surf shape tells you some thing good is hapenen the 5"3 may be a little under rockers and at 17 3/4 should feel a little smaller under foot than the 4"11" the nose is pulled in a bit Whitch has lost the e vanguards theme time will tell

light wind version 8'0'x27 1/4'
