Description

The Firewire Sunday surfboard in the new Helium 2 technology is going to smash every record set for surfboard sales, it ticks so many boxes for so many surfers its unreal. Looks like Rob Machado has done it again!! The Sunday appears to be a cruisy 2 + 1 mid length set up, but when you look deeper you'll see it starts at a 5' 6 and goes up to a 7' 3 what kind of madness is that!!

Maybe its not madness maybe Machado has hit upon something different. The reality of this board is that some will ride it as a single fin, some a twin and some as a 2 + 1, its got something for everyone by the look of it. In the smaller sizes its a super fun, speedy twin, which is very pivoty to surf (we had a 5 9 demo) in the bigger sizes its a great mid length which will guarantee you a high wave count but be super fun to surf. Then there is the single fin option...and on it goes, so many different options in a functional fun shape.

The board has the wide point quite far forward and it carries a fair amount of volume right up to the nose so it paddled really well and also carried speed, remarkably stable too. There is single into a fairly deep double concave from the centre of the board and then vee through the tail so it generates plenty of lift and so speed and releases smoothly into turns. The pulled in tail is great in the pocket in the smaller sizes and when you scale up to the bigger sizes gives great hold in bigger waves.

Firewire's Helium tech is all about making an already amazing set of construction options even better. Its lighter, seems strong, no signs of any pressure marks at all, and very fast. High Density Aerospace Composite Deck Skins and a new Paulownia/Balsa mix on the rails gives a faster flex response. Having surfed the tech in a couple of different models it does feel light but the speed through a stiffer feel and responsiveness is exceptional, Helium is here to stay.

The Firewire Sunday is maybe the most fun board in the Firewire range, a real crowd pleaser, everyone should have one in their quiver!

Boardshop is stoked to be a key partner for Firewire surfboards across Europe and beyond, we've been with them since the very start. Firewire surfboards are more durable than other surfboard manufacturing processes, and for 90% of surfers they will improve your surfing. Firewire is pushing the limits of applying new technology and innovation to surfboard design and always has an eye on the environmental impact of what they do, they truly are different to the other board companies out there. Firewire have come a long way since the early boards and the range of shapes and tech just gets better and better. A big chunk of the boards in the range are perfectly suited to the waves that 90% of us surf on a regular basis so if you haven't already give them a try. The staff here have surfed pretty much every board in the Firewire range at some time or another and we speak to surfers from all over the world and get their feedback on how the boards perform in all sorts of conditions so we're well placed to talk about all aspects of Firewire surfboards.

We're happy to consider trading in your old board against a new Firewire, so If you have any questions about this we'd be delighted to answer them and advise on any potential board choices or enquiries you might have, just drop us an email to [email protected] or call us on 0044 (0) 1243 674250.
