- Stoked is not the word, the Dark Arts x Daniel 'Tomo' Thomson Evo Remastered is here and any Evo will have to have one!
Available here: www.boardshop....
The original Evo in Firewire's various techs is one of the best boards of all time, still is in fact but Firewire are no longer making it so it's great news that this updated version is now available in this amazing construction. 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.
Anyone who has ever called or emailed us about the Evo knows that we rate it in the top 3 boards of all time, it was and is a total game changer for so many people and in this new Dark Arts build its even better.
Dark Arts boards are all made in the USA, not farmed out to secondary factories anywhere else. By leveraging the lightweight compound of carbon fibre, Dark Arts surfboards promote a light-weight design that unites speed and agility with improved durability. Carbon Fibre is fast reacting and creates spring, unlike traditional fibre-glass cloth. The result of this natural rebound is speed and plenty of it! These DA boards are all hand crafted, then vacuum bagged, layered with carbon fibre cloth over a 2lb EPS stringer-less foam, this is all done for optimum flex, weight and durability. Dark Arts continues to redefine the limits for how surfboards are shaped and constructed.

I had some great waves on the Evo but didn’t think it paddled that well.
Yay!
Go on Ian show us how it’s surfed😂
An Omni remastered could be cool in that tech.
What is the core construction? Is it parabolic paulownia wood rails or a stringerless expoxy blank?
Also just wondering is the dark arts construction lighter or heavier than the helium ?🙏🙏
The core is a 2lb EPS stringerless core blank then glassed with 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.
The Parabolic + Paulownia wooden rails is something the firewire boys do for their boards. The Dark Arts boards are remarkably strong but super light, we would say they're lighter than Helium.
I love Boardshop and have bought loads from them but these prices are becoming insane
Only for Dark Arts 🤷♀️ You pay for what you get with these stunners
The Evo still feels more "special" to ride than the Revo in my opinion. It's a prefect design..
I agree- EVO > REVO by a lot... I sold my REVO very quickly. EVO forever. Now have Vader 2 also
How does the Vader compare to the Evo?
My wife is going to kill me.
If I can help to save your marriage please send me your board😂
