Sure I like the hpsb shapes also. But I like my winter indo trips and Im a big boy so my fancy pants shaped board allows me to travel with a shorter board than a hpsb. Under that 1.9m that some airlines demand.
No justification required mate, sick board and you shaped it yourself! That's awesome.
I am looking at a local shaper's take on the evo for myself (for surfing not kiting).

For kiting yeah. I have tried a heap of different stumpy shapes but standard/grom shorties suit me. Also I quickly get overpowered on boards with volume, which means no unhooking, can't stick to the right handers, etc.
BUT I am open to trying the Tomo shapes, provided the volume is low enough to ensure performance.
