Firewire Submoon Surfboard

The Submoon is the ultimate FUNshape. Designer Nev Hyman explains, “We combined a contemporary rocker and concaves and even thickness distribution with a quirky FUNshape outline that encourages a more vertical shortboard approach to the traditional longboard style of surfing. The outline has a generous curve between your feet, which causes the board to get on rail and turn! The narrower moon tail provides bite, drive and direction, while the snub nose carries area forward for a bit of tip hang-cheater five fun.�

Firewire Timbertek

TIMBERTEK represents a significant step forward towards the holy grail of any product designed and manufactured in today's environmentally conscious world. While by no means sustainably built, Firewire's TIMBERTEK has by far one of the least toxic and smallest carbon footprints of any commercially available surfboard today. Grant Newby, a talented Australian craftsman first turned Firewire on to the potential of this construction, and following his lead, Firewire's internal R&D; and production crew worked tirelessly to make this tech possible in a production setting. Building one-offs or small quantities is one thing (and not to be discounted), but it took a tremendous effort to overcome all the issues that arose as Firewire tweaked the original recipe to increase performance and build reasonable quantities. Of course Firewire having their very own vertical factory was a huge help. The combination of a lightweight EPS core, sustainably-grown wood deck skins, Firewire's proprietary parabolic rail construction, and an Entropy bio-resin hot coat yield an extremely lightweight, durable surfboard with ALL of the high performance flex characteristics of Firewire's existing technologies. Even more impressive, the physical properties of the raw materials involved have allowed Firewire to reduce exterior lamination significantly, furthering the reduction of the board’s carbon footprint. Or as we like to describe TIMBERTEK, it's simply High Performance Art.
