Wooly TV Review: Mindcraft by Daniel Thomson

Press play above to watch Wooly MacPherson and Star Surf's review on Daniel Thomson's all-new Mindcraft in I-Bolic 2.0 Technology in.

Ian 'Wooly' MacPherson (@wooly_macpherson_surf_coach), riding a stock 5'11" and standing at 6'1" and 193 lbs, is the owner/operator of Star Surf + Skate Shop (@starsurf.com.au) and Mandurah Surf Lessons in the greater Perth area. A stalwart in the local surf community, loved by all who know him and learn to surf from him, Wooly is the 'salt-of-the-earth' and passion our surf culture is made from, and will ride everything from 2' to 65' (have a Google on his North West of WA tow session when Damon Eastaugh whipped him into a wave of his life, and his worst wipeout ever). Featured in Surf 'N Show's Mindcraft review, this is Wooly's complete 15-minute review offering another amazingly thorough test in a variety of conditions.

In this episode, Wooly gives a thorough review of the Mindcraft, it's characteristics, how it works with different fin sets and configurations, and how it fits into your quiver as a daily driver.

Meet the Mindcraft designed by Kelly Slater (@kellyslater) and Daniel Thomson (@tomo_surfboards), a minimalist shape designed for pure function. Built in our patented I-Bolic 2.0 Technology, and grom sizes (5'2" and under) built in our all-new G-Flex Technology.

The Mindcraft was designed to connect the surfer to their equipment like never before, a mind surfing experience from the minds of two visionaries. The outline was chosen for its minimalism and pure function, "a seamless blend of straightened elliptical curves," says Daniel. The shape and design provide tons of speed and drive, with a feeling of pinpoint precision and the ability to turn on a dime - this board stays under your feet and goes where you want it to go.

The bottom contours are smoother, more continuous, and more subtle compared to Tomo's past models, offering plenty of speed and flow with a moderate performance rocker. There's a single to double concave that keeps the design engaged with the wave face while still offering lively response familiar to Tomo's other designs.

Pair with Kelly Slater's newest rake template, the Endorfins KSR Fin Set as either a Quad or a Thruster, allowing for maximum versatility in waves 2-6 foot.
