Has anyone shaped or seen a sup that's got the same outline as a wakeboard or one of Tomo's vanguard surfboards?

Like this?

Similar in style; I think Noel in Lennox had a tomo shape ages ago and posted it up, it sparked my interest then , but I never followed through with it.
Just curious to see if anyone's taken the same philosophy and applied to to a sup and if it performed any good!



Closest I've seen are those riviera and the V 4. Still look a bit wide and thick though.

Hi lookie lookie,

I have been thinking along the same lines of this for a while, i put together a bit a of a plan in aku shaper today, while mucking about. The more I look at this design the more it makes sense, just the issue of needing to ride then longer eg 8ft, does this kind of negate the good qualities of this design?

I am part way through a more simsup style shape but this vanguard idea keeps making me wonder. Only other prob is the tomo has a narrow width and sups tend to need that extra width. Would the square ends on the board provide more padling stability and allow the shape to be an inch or 2 narrower?

My aku shape is so weird looking that AKU won't even show me the shaping room preview! (might need a restart)

Cheers Chris

Saw a radical smaller type of those boards at Deus ex Machina in Bali.

Yes! They work great and meant to be ridden 2" narrower. More at facebook.com/theoriginalsimsup
