The Taj Pro Model is built to Taj's exact specifications taken from his favourite 5'11 and 6'0 Firewire surfboards incorporating the identical rail volumes bottom contours and increased rocker that is the trademark of his equipment. A lightning fast board with a tight turning radius. The 6'2 version is slightly adjusted to give a heavier surfer the same scaled board that Taj rides.In effect you're getting THE ultimate performance board with the benefit of Taj's R&D and the very latest technology to explode on to the surfboard manufacturing market place. The Taj Pro Models feature Springer Technology. Layered into the dual density core of the board springers are like a suspension system providing the optimal amount of flex and drive needed to control the higher speed and heavier torque in larger waves. Like the leaf springs and shock absorbers of a speeding car Springers work in tandem with the parabolic balsa rails to maintain smooth control through hi-speed turns.The rapid response flex memory in the Future Shapes Technology used in these boards yields great speed through the turns whilst the parabolic rail configuration guarantees 100% return memory for years. Firewire surfboards feature some very distinct construction traits that set them aside form other boards currently available: 1) parabolic balsa rails 2) dual density EPS and advanced composite core The parabolic balsa 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. The construction materials a unique formulation of hi-tech epoxy resins and advanced composites mean that these boards maintain the lively feel you get with brand new polyurethane boards but are up to 20% lighter and will last 5+ times longer. This manufacturing process has won environmental awards and has created a range of lightweight and durable custom boards that are quickly being recognised for their awesome performance just ask Taj Burrow! Us lot here at Boardshop have had a couple of these babies on demo and we love them Definitely the weapon of choice for the south coast and the smaller weaker days during summer. We got on with them so well that we are aiming to be Europe's no 1 stockist. We are not alone! Sam Lamiroy has recently joined the team and is awaiting his custom shapes for a fresh assault on the forthcoming swells. What this all means for surfers is a step forward in the age old trade off of performance versus durability that has traditionally limited polyurethane boards. The nature of the core technology in these boards allows them to rebound in and out of turns with little loss of speed. The secret to improved surfing is maintaining and using this speed to go higher bigger longer or whatever does it for you! Firewire surfboards are members of 1% FOR THE PLANET an organisation that financially supports environmental protectionism. Firewire also won the SURFBOARD OF THE YEAR award at the recent SIMA awards - that's basically the surf industry deciding who has done the best job and is an extremely prestigious award. Thanks to 10 years of research and the expertise of shapers Nev Hyman and Dan Mann the future of surfing is changing these guys are calling this Future Shapes Technology we like it!
