It finely arrived. Months of waiting was were it.
First thing I noticed was the rails are a fair bit thinner then the pop. Secondly was the rocker, it is outrageous, but I don't think its too much to make it feel slow. Concaves look sweet and the graphics look amazing imo
Here are some quick snaps. Ill have more info how it rides as soon as there be some wind
Yeh im a bit scared of all the rocker that it has. You and i seem to have similar tastes in boards (love the pop, hate the dub) so will be cool to see what you think.
I think the 2 boards will complement each other nicely. I can only speculate but I don't think it will have the low end of the pop but I think its going to feel uba nice in the sloppy chop I have to contend with 60% of the time.
still didn't get any stickers but KP compensated with a ozone tee shirt lol, good lads.
Very keen to hear a review. I'm not that fond of the 140 Cab Custom I'm on at the moment. I bought it on a whim (good deal) after snapping my 3 year old LF DLX. Just ordered my new cable whip for this year (2015 143 Watson Hybrid and 2015 Ultras) so looking to get a new kite board too.

What year cab are you on mate?
2013. It just feels a little sluggish and I don't like the width, it's too narrow for my big ol' hooves.
kemp90 that orange looks alot better in your photo than it does on the tona website

Hey mate. I tried uploading pics earlier but it didnt work. Have a look at my profile there is a bulk pics on there. As for the stiffness, its really quite stiff, should produce some mad pop. The forecast looks good for the end of the week so ill let you know.
cheers mate appreciate it. when you say really stiff, stiff enough to be a GOOD cable board and not just an ok cross over. How is it compared to hybrid wakeboards?

Couldnt say bro, iv never been to a cable park. The closest thing iv got to a park is a wake winch with some dodgy kickers and rails! Dose the job but would love to go to park one day lol
man id kill for a winch with dodgy kickers and rails, i recon that'd be way more fun than a cable park.

this is our winch when there is no wind, wicked aye, my mate built it a wile back. I don't no why the pic is on its side, seabreeze dose some weird **** somtimes
thats so sick, i live on a canal and i always imagine how cool it would be to have a winch. its like i have the perfect setup and its going to waste lol.
serious, you could hit that **** all day everyday!! they are actually easy to build, you need to build a frame, mount a motor (ours is 6.5hp), attached to a torque converter from a gocart, attached to a spool of spectra. you have to hit rails and kickers tho cause just doing passes gets old real quick.
isn't the canals riddled with bullys?

yeh between me and a few friends we have a sweet kicker and slider we have already built for this next windy season. haha yeh, i just came back from a week of kiting with crocks in darwin, i guess theres always something crazy in the water, and if theres not its probably because the water is poison or something which will kill you anyway haha. im waiting for the day a stingray gets me, so many of them where i kite.

Tell me about it I see loads of the rays ( or I see the same one over and over). You should put up a pic of your rail and kicker, I need to try and make floating ops of the NE wind but not sure how it will go with out 4m tides

Both rail and kicker are at mates houses. The kicker is sweet cant wait to use it, made out of aliminium door frames with perspect ramp, floating on 2 of those big blue plastic drums. i havent seen the rail myself yet its only just been made. Sounds good tho its made out of that thick black pipe with the blue stripe. It sounds like it will be easy as to set up too.
Tona flow, such a sweet board under foot, smooth, comfy, rail to rail is fun and will pop you too the moon.
I rode it in 14 knots with an 11m in a river mouth today with flat ponds and choppy runout tide and still had enough bottom end.
Rail to rail. So smooth and couldn't stop carving, I think I spent 30 min just carving rail to rail because it felt so nice. I looked back at the tail and you could see what looked like 2 jet streams from the double concave and channel's, looked awsome and gave me sweet grip.
Smooth. This board just ate chop like it was nothing. I thought the tona pop was awsome in chop but it has nothing on the flow. Landings was soft. You could feel the water spread out and shoot you forward.
Pop. I got some epic pop this arv, with 14 knots of wind on an 11 razor I was still able to land some railey to blind. The you could hold a huge load and explode you into the air.
Wake style board yes, but such a fun and easy board to ride, I would recommend this to anyone.
Now I'm sure we all watch the YouTube clip of Dre explaning the board, I no I did about twice a day. Everything they said, I felt was true and could feel under my feet. I tell you what this board is awsome, possibly the best board iv ever been on.
only down side is I'm not sure if I'll use my pop anymore.
I no this was a brief review but honestly I would just be repeating Dre word for word.
This board is amazing and recommend a demo for sure.
Any question just ask.
Ps. I f***ing love this board
What do you weigh mate 14 knots run out tide with boots I assume. Getting explosive pop in those conditions with an 11m C is impressive.
Nice review mate, did you feel it felt much slower than the pop with all that rocker?
i can't see this board getting "explosive" pop with it's rocker and narrowed tips. For me this just sounds like dre's retirement board to slash waves and hit rails. I used to have a tona pop and its a sick board but there are a lot more explosive boards out there for pop. All you need to do is look at their profile. In saying that, I got a axis billy parker pro and the pop is much better but the landings can be ****. Win some, loose some...

yeh man, it was a bit slower, but like I said it got me going in 14knots with an 11m, so its not dragging like an anchor. cant wate to slash some waves!
The Tona Flow is on top of my list but as I am 70kg and quite vertically challenged (170cm) which size would be better for me? Kite and cable...
Cheers,
Ed
