Taking 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 foot firmly planted in the future of surfboard materials.  Old is new and speed rules!

The Technology
Firewire Surfboards’ Future Shapes Technology features controlled flex memory with rapid rebound.  The parabolic balsa wood rails flex at the start of a turn storing energy and rebound through the turn, releasing built up energy in the form of speed.  The spring back of the parabolic rails to the original rocker triggers rapid acceleration, like an arrow shot from a bow.  Combined with the composite materials used in Firewire’s sandwich construction, parabolic balsa rails reduce material fatigue and ensure that the board maintains its long-lasting “twang.”

The Materials
Using expanded polystyrene foam cores, high-density foam outer skins and high-tech epoxy resins, Firewire surfboards are up to 20% lighter than traditional polyurethane foam boards, and maintains its “new board” liveliness 5-10 times longer.  Furthermore, the use of parabolic balsa rails and composite materials reduces premature denting and material fatigue.

NOTE: Though many boards come clear (no design), colors and/or designs may vary - the image shown is for display purposes only.  Such variations affect the prices of individual boards – please call for details on the one you are interested in.

Also, due to non-standard (oversized) packaging, surfboards are shipped by a different carrier and incur additional shipping fees.  When ordering a surfboard, please select Ground shipping – the stated fee will NOT be charged to your card.  The actual fee will be calculated once the board has been packaged and weighed, and you will be contacted prior to our charging this fee to your card.
