9'4 Tj Everyday Crossfire Square Surfboard Bamboo

Firewire welcomes Taylor Jensen to our Pro team, one of the top high performance long boarders in the world. The Taylor Jensen Everyday 9ft 4 is longer than the TJ Pro (9ft), with a slightly thicker foil, lower entry rocker and flatter bottom concaves, creating a board with the perfect balance between performance and nose riding. Flexflights are true hi-performance longboards, incorporating the increased dampening and squirt through turns as a result of Crossfire Technology's flex characteristics; which eliminate the chatter of a longer board while increasing overall speed, never mind the 30% weight saving and increased strength over regular "PU". Crossfire is a hybrid technology, combining the bamboo deck skin of Rapidfire Technology on both the top and bottom decks with the Balsa Parabolic rails of Future Shapes Technology to control flex. The result is a durable, lightweight surfboard with great flex characteristics. 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 been waiting to get our hands on the Firewire longboards for months and are not disappointed. We love them and are dominating the line-up. 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 winter 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 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!
