Description

The Evo is the most versatile of Daniel Thomson’s Modern Planing Hull designs, shaped into accessible dimensions and fit for surfers from beginner to advanced. The Quad Inside Single Concave (QISC) bottom contours provide lift and acceleration in a variety of conditions,  though it excels in the weaker end of the wave range. The parallel outline has excellent stability for both paddling and surfing and provides fantastic drive through turns. The Evo continues to maintain its position as one of the most easy to surf performance shapes on Earth. Ride the Evo as short as you can to get the most out of it, it has a 5 fin set up but for 90% of people a thruster set up works best but its does get surfed as a quad and also a twin with trailer.

Overview

Key features and details

Made in Dark Arts Construction

The classic Dark Arts technology. A pure carbon layup focused on providing the highest level of performance through an ultra-responsive and durable construction. This design perpetuates that first-surf feel for years due to a full coverage resilient 3k carbon fiber layer. An additional 4oz fiberglass cloth sits beneath the carbon layer on the top side of the deck for added strength against pressure dents.

Just go and buy one.
Took this out for my first surf a few days ago. Oh my speed! It's like a missile through the water. I've got a few seasides and thought that was a quick board. This is next level. Second wave my brother saw and said he thought it might have been the best turns he's seen me do. The speed on tap makes manoeuvres seems easier.

On the take off its got good stability. If you make a mistake as long as you can stumble to your feet the speed available means you can beat the section.

I'm 5'10 and 82kg. The 5'8 is perfect for me, glad I heeded Roger's advice in the review videos and went short. For reference my go to Seaside is 5'9. I'm not a shredder and it suits me perfect. The only thing I'd disagree is on the fin choice. I've only ridden quads for the past 15 years+. This board is insane with a quad set. I'm running a slightly weird set up but it works well. Mick Fanning twin + 1 Twins with machado seaside side bites, no trailer.

Treated myself to a Dark Arts Tomo for my Birthday
As a burnout in my fifties and refusing the thought of a subtle cruise on respectable Mal, I have splashed out on an overtly insane surfboard. It's black, carbon wrapped and weighs practically nothing. It doesn't look like anything from my 40+ year old quiver of boards and I am wondering if this is could be one of those mid life crisis sort of things! You surf it a few inches shorter than your regular board, but due to the shape of it you can still pack the foam in making it a gift to paddle. It's wide and really stable on the take off, you've got to give a bit of 'giddy up' on the pump and when you get it right it will shows you what them channels on the bottom are all about. It planes well, climbs foam and in most cases will get you to the next section. Putting it in the bag for Portugal next month, so hopefully get it into something meaty. Riding some Endorfin Velox big boy fins as recommended by the guys at the shop. On that note: The Boardshop is by far one of best surf shops I have come across, these guys are cool, know exactly what they are talking about and are up for a bit of craic! 10/10.

I love this board…
I had an Evo some years ago and in a moment of utter madness, sold it. It’s not until I didn’t have the board, I realised how much I missed it, especially as I had some of my best surfs on the board….For many of the waves I get to surf, it’s the perfect board. It’s great in decent surf, but it will go really well in on shore weak swell, that most boards will struggle in. It’s an amazing board as it will fly in good surf and will work really well in poor surf. Loose, easy to turn and fast. I do find in very strong off shore the board can get stuck a bit on the take off, due to the shape of the nose, luckily I have bought some amazing mid lengths from Boardshop for these conditions. If you’re a UK surfer, an EVO is a great option for the majority of our waves. I wondered if the board would surf differently in this new construction. I feel it makes it a bit faster and its pretty much indestructible! As I said, I love this board.
