How do you size the tomo board. Should you use the same volume guidelines as the rest of the boards or do you go smaller?

173cm/5'8" 73kg/162lbs. 5'8 hellfire FST, 5'2 SP RF, 5'10 lost Stealth in FST, 5'4 potatonator FST, 5'4 Vanguard
The blurb claims the boards can go shorter and narrower because the rails are more parallel there is more speed and lift...from that I am deducing you can go with less volume than usual but by how much is the question. The 5'8" is at the bottom of my recommended range of volumes but perhaps I should be going down to the 5'6"?
Jesus is coming, look busy!
Moving forward or just spinning faster?

Mark was on a 5'4. I think you can drop volume. Guys on ther surfermag forum seem to ride them SMALL and can't say enough about them.
What is Marks height and WeightOriginally Posted by prjwebb
Looks like one of those boards that you would have to Demo or take experienced advice on what size to select
Do you think it's worth comparing volumes from other boards in your quiver or completely disregarding that train of thought when choosing a vanguard
5'8 Dominator
6'1 Flexfire (Round Tail)
Yeah that's what I'm looking into. Mark's proto was different dims. Looks like these will be ridden a little longer.
Chris said Tomo and Stirling were both on the 504. That puts me at least a size up!
Hey slowman intersting point. That means that this board absolutely requires good conditions?
165cms 89Kgs dry...working on that at the moment...but not working!!! :)
