Slater Designs TOMO Mindcraft Ibolic 2.0 Surfboard

Designed by Kelly Slater and Daniel “Tomo” Thomson, the Slater Designs Mindcraft combines a clean, functional outline with small-wave performance. Built in Ibolic 2.0 construction, it brings together speed, drive and responsive handling for surfers who want to link flowing turns with tighter moves in the pocket.

Its straighter outline and compact shape are designed to deliver a connected feel underfoot, balancing speed across flatter sections with control when the wave offers a steeper face.

Wave suitability

The Mindcraft is designed for waves from around 2ft to just overhead. Its width and straighter outline help it carry speed through flatter sections, while its moderate rocker allows it to fit into the curve of smaller waves.

For surfers looking for a shorter performance shape, the Mindcraft offers a balance of everyday usability and quick direction changes.

Bottom contours and rocker

A single-to-double concave works with smooth, continuous bottom contours to deliver speed and flow while keeping the board engaged with the wave face.

The rocker is relatively gentle, with enough tail kick to help the board pivot in the pocket. Together, these features balance down-the-line drive with responsive turning.

Outline, rails and tail

The rolled deck carries volume through the centre of the board while keeping the rails lower in volume for control and response. A torpedo-shaped nose reduces swing weight, helping the board change direction quickly.

The bump-wing round tail complements the straighter outline, bringing the shape together for a balance of drive and manoeuvrability. Foam is concentrated between your feet to create a settled, connected feel without requiring constant changes in stance.

Fin setup

The Mindcraft can be ridden as a thruster or quad, giving you options to tune its feel. The model’s recommended pairing is Kelly Slater’s Endorfins KSR fin template.

Choosing your size

Compare the Mindcraft’s length, width, thickness and volume with your current board rather than choosing by length alone. Its compact outline allows it to be ridden shorter than a conventional performance shortboard, but the right size depends on your weight, ability and usual conditions.
