The Firewire Seaside is not a fish like the others! It's really a board that goes everywhere, in all conditions. A fast board with incredible glide. Its thin rails and narrower tail give it good responsiveness and a good ride in faster conditions. Basically, this board has all the elements to have fun in weak to semi-punchy waves from 1 to 5 feet. Ideal for an intermediate to expert surfer & designed strictly as a quad & the bottom / concave lines reflect this. Built in Helium technology to keep it really light, very responsive, flexible and very durable.
