The Tomo Max Keel is Daniel Thomson’s twin template that offers the trim of a keel with the response of a twin. Tight radius turns in the trough and clean control across the face, this template is Tomo’s ultimate Twin Keel shape, crafted from a blend of traditional keel templates and performance twins.
This template has more surface area than any Twin fin, and less surface area than any Keel fin. The Tomo Max Keel is a groundbreaking hybrid of traditional and performance templates, creating an inventive blend of trim, speed, control, and style.
Single Tab variants are compatible with Futures’ fin system.
Avant garde Australian shaper, Daniel Thomson says, “I began riding the Revo Max with the Endorfins Twin + 2 template, and it felt great, but I was struck by how pivoty the board felt because of how narrow the bases of the fin were in comparison to traditional Keel fins.
I knew I wanted more directional stability to match the rail line of the Revo Max, but not as much directional ‘lock in’ that traditional Keel templates are known for, so I immediately set out to design a fin that had enough base to create sufficient directional drive, but wasn’t so raked that it inhibited immediate response in performance maneuvers.
What I landed on was a performance Keel fin with just barely enough upright leading edge and trailing edge to create what has proven to be a extremely good sweet spot. Looking at the fin offerings at surf shops today, I think we’ve got something truly unique to pair with a truly unique shape – the Revo Max.” – Daniel Thomson
