Firewire Surfboards FIREWIRE Surfboard's PARABOLIC balsa rails, triple density EPS core & advanced composites create long lasting and rapid flex memory, rebounding the board in & out of turns. This environmentally award winning construction creates a lightweight and durable custom surfboard that is best recognized for its superior performance. FIREWIRE Surfboards represent the culmination of over 10 years of intensive R & D into alternative surfboard construction, combining epoxy, advanced composites, EPS foam & PARABOLIC wood rails. today, our revolutionary technology eliminates the age-old performance and durability tradeoff inherent in traditional polyurethane boards, bringing to life a surfboard for the future.
	Model: Flexfire The Flexfire series from Firewire is designed around the performance specifications of their top surfers. The dimensions, foils and rail configurations are all geared towards maximum speed and the tightest turning radius possible. The rapid response flex memory inherent in Future Shapes technology ensures that the Flexfire series explodes through turns while the parabolic rail configuration guarantees 100% return memory for years to come.
	Model: Alternator The Alternator series from Firewire combines the perfect blend of a short rail line, generous curve and slightly thicker foil, producing a surfboard that paddles well but still turns on a dime. The Alternator is the "workhorse" in the Firewire line and naturally incorporates all aspects of "Future Shapes technology".
	Model: Quadflex The Quadflex series combines the control of an Alternator thruster with the top end speed of a twin fin. We've pushed the wide point back slightly to create a fuller tail, while still maintaining an even curve throughout. Combined with FUTURE SHAPES TECHNOLOGY, the result is an extremely fast loose surfboard, capable of handling a variety of conditions. We suggest you ride the Quadflex an inch or two shorter than you regular shortboard.
	Model: Futura Taking its cue from some of the most innovative design thinking of the past and combining it with FUTURE SHAPE TECHNOLOGY, the FISHTAIL series is a true hybrid with one design foot in the past and the other foot firmly planted in the future of shortboard materials. Old is new and speed rules.
	Model: Fishtail The Fishtail series from Firewire takes its cue from some of the most innovative design thinking of the past and combining it with Future Shapes Technology, the Fishtail series is a true hybrid with one design foot in the past and the other firmly planted in the future of surfboard materials.
	Model: Flexflight Incorporating Future Shapes Technology, the Flexflight Series features an EPS core, high density skin and PARABOLIC balsa rails, producing an ultra lightweight, durable longboard with the same superior performance characteristics made famous by Firewire's shortboards.

FUTURE SHAPES TECHNOLGY

FIREWIRE Surfboards FUTURE SHAPES TECHNOLOGY features memory and rapid rebound. PARABOLIC balsa wood rails flex at the start of a turn storing energy and rebound all the way through the turn, releasing built up energy in the form of speed. The spring back of the PARABOLIC rails to the original rocker triggers a rapid acceleration, like an arrow shot out of a bow. Combined with the composite materials used in sandwich construction, PARABOLIC balsa rails eliminate material fatigue & ensure that FIREWIRE Surfboards maintain their long lasting "twang-like" sensation.

CUSTOMIZATION

Not only do FIREWIRE Surfboards incorporate FUTURE SHAPES TECHNOLOGY, they can also be custome ordered to your exact dimensions. Due to the one-off nature of custom boards, there will be a surcharge and a longer lead-time.

DURABILITY

The complete FIREWIRE experience goes far beyond exceptional performance. Due to the unique formaulation of hi-tech epoxy resins, advanced composites & the other outer skin of hi-density foam, FIREWIRE Surfboards are up to 20% lighter than traditional PU boards and last 5 to 10 times longer. The PARABOLIC balsa rails combined with the composite materails used in sandwich constrution eliminates denting & material fatigue, ensuring that FIREWIRE Surfboards maintain the "lively" feeling that Polyurethane boards start out with but lose relatively quick.

WHY FCS ?

The FCS find system compliments and actually boosts the FLEX properties built into FIREWIRE Surfboards. The unique reinforced insertion method allows maximum strength without anchoring each inset plug to the surfboard top deck, increasing the tail flex and enhancing performance.

ENVIRONMENTAL

FIREWIRE Surfboards use epoxy resin and EPS foam, materials that are exponentially less harmful than the traditional surfboard materials. Over a 5 year lifespan, inclulding the construction process, a traditional PU surfboards releases 50 times more Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) than a FIREWIRE Surfboard.

In recognition of this FIREWIRE Surfboards won the coveted EuroSIMA Environmental Product of the Year Award in 2005

Ultimately FIREWIRE Surfboards goal is to develop 100% sustainable manufacturing, designing & building a product that can be recycled indefinitely by reusing old boards to make future FIREWIRE surfboards - instead of grinding the boards up for a different, lesser product
