The “Stealth”…. is a high performance, secret weapon hybrid formulated by “hiding” our …Lost “Rocket” model into the guise of a pointed nose performance short board. Team riders (“Pros”) were stoked on “The Rockets” performance in small surf but were afraid to use in contests for fear of negative reaction from judges. At the same time, the “Bros” were asking for a “Short board that surfs like the Rocket” so I can ride a pointed nose outline. Viola! The combination of extreme tail rocker and deep concave provide lift and unparalleled turning radius. The Low entry rocker with a traditional pulled in nose template allows performance short board antics with the speed of a “fish”. Full rails and wide tail keep everything easy to use for everyone. Available now in FST technology as a 5 fin “convertible”. Finally, there’s a board that can be “everything for everyone”
The “Sub Scorcher” I wanna board for ‘mush’. Something short and wide, but still a hi performance shortboard….something like Dane’s board”, Kolohe Andino.
The challenge was laid down. Starting with the old SD, we squashed the dims to 5’6″ x 19 3/4″ x 2 3/16″, lowered the entry rocker and shallowed out the concave through the center to straighten the rail line (for drive) and made it easier to lay such a wide platform over on a rail. Voila! Our stubbiest shortboard yet, but it still carves like a real board. Kolohe wanted to call it “The Trashcan Lid” because you don’t need to go dumpster diving to get one of these.
Demo in store : STEALTH 6’0 X 19 1/2 X 2 5/16
SUB SCORCHER: 6’2 X 20 1/2 X 2 5/8
For all you big boys out there these two boards are for you, we have both of them on demo so give us a call and give them a go.
Firewire continues to define the ‘FUTURE OF SHAPES’ . Whether you prefer the WCT proven Future shapes and technology (FST) championed by Taj on the pro tour. The direct drive (DD) carbon rod suspension technology, or the new RAPIDFIRE (RF) bamboo and carbon rod hybrid. Firewire remains dedicated to continually pushing the boundries of surfboard design and materials. We have a large variety of models in stock and if we don’t have the model or size you want we can order it for you .
