FireWire Surfboards is a fairly new surfboard brand on the scene but they have already made a big name for them self around the world. The made the original epoxy surfboard that was ridden in the WCT event. Taj Burrows rode a Firewire in the Billabong WCT Jefferies Bay event and won, which bought them to most people's attention. The basic idea behind the FireWire surfboards is to put the stringer from the centre of the surfboard where it just sits and feels boring and kind of helps to make the board stronger to the rails of the surfboard. Once you have your stringer on the rails you are able to put it to full use. Firewire Surfboard - makes your balsa rails work harder with Parabolic Balsa Wood Rails.  Firewire is dedicated to advancing surfboard performance through refining shape combined with new materials and construction techniques. They have developed three technologies in their quest to re-define the 'Future of Shape'.

So how do you use the stringer once it rides in the rail? Balsa wood rails flex at the start of every turn and store the energy into the rail. Through the turn this stored energy is released in the form of speed. That gives you an additional boost, a kick out of the turn and greater speed. Apart from the "Put the stringer where it can help you surf" idea FireWire surfboards also play with other new technologies like sandwich structure, APS foam, epoxy resins and more. The end result is that they afford - top performance and durability.

Firewire Surfboards come in a large variety of sizes, the largest at the moment being 6'6 so you're sure to find exactly what you need.

All surfboards are pioneered to give the best performance in turning and speed, and are perfect for even professional surfers. The Firewire Quadfish surfboard is designed for speed, with four fins built in, keeping the same hold power and high flat out speed of the previous Firewire keel fins, but still giving a smooth turn. Firewire Surfboards seek to give you the best of both worlds; flexibility and speed. Some very good compromises of this are the Firewire Alternator and Futura Surfboards, that give a slick performance despite their budget price.
