The Firewire LFT Vader surfboard, the current pinnacle of Daniel 'Tomo' Thomson's Modern Planing Hull (MPH) Vision. The Modern Planing Hull represents a cutting edge change in the approach to high performance board design, and the Vader/Vanguard models are the result of precise mathematical equations, inspired by the ridiculous feats of athleticism exhibited by today's top pro surfers, Tomo has created a board that equips 21st century surfers with the tools to expand their abilities. Daniel describes the Vader as a "Mind Surfing Machine", with the ability to react instantaneously to rapid directional changes with incredible bursts of speed. The Vader is capable of controlled, drawn out carves, and tight angle snaps are achievable with an effortless and intuitive shift in a surfer's weight. This biggest difference from the Vanguard is the increase in general usability and paddle power with a larger volume distribution throughout. This encourages surfers to ride the Vader even shorter than previously considered functional and will also make the Vader a realistic option for less experienced surfers.
