Are you talking about the drivey edge of the back of the head or the midday sun showing the shine of the forehead? :)

[Chris]

core i looked at that picture quickly at first and it was really trippy looking. almost like your face was glowing...

thankfully i slowed down and realized it wasn't and that jovial head was Slater's.

[prjwebb]

haha i had to do a double take

[core personal training]

ha...trying to upload 2 more showing curves in better lighting but its blocking me...permissions problem???...oh chris, did you get my email or is my email hitting the spam filter?

[iggy]

Justin is on it Dave!

[surferireland]

and for anyone not familiar with rapidfire...check the foot wells in this shot...thats had me thumping it full weight and strength since whenever the first batch hit oz...like my others, it gets handed out everyday to strangers to test, and still not one dent/crack...just perfectly defined foot-wells that developed quickly over a few weeks then stabilized...this happens identically with every rapidfire...try that with p/u p/e stick..even with heavier glass...

keen observers will note the hellfires perfect fit and consistent single sweet spot by the small circular heel dent at the top and the elongated toe dent below where a swivel of foot angle is all thats needed depending on direction

also in view is a slight foot well in front of the pad...this is from a narrow mid stance a'la 70's for serious bottom turns that rival just about any shortboard

justin, thanks for sorting it... :P

[Chris]

I appreciate that you used a slater with hair for the younger version of you. well planned and admirable execution.

[core personal training]

thanks chris, i aim to please...when my crew cut is fresh i look a bit like him anyway...then people yell out my surname (kelly) and random guys edge close to me and start rapping....then they see me surf and realize i am NOT slater...!!...

[Chris]

haha good stuff.

[core personal training]

hanalei...just noticed your bald dudes rule comment...now i'm joining the club i TOTALLY agree..!!

surferireland...that was the day after new years day...quiet at the beach and one of the nicest beach days we've had with the kids in ages...nice small runners for mini me to bang reo's on my HF..after i pushed him on..wont paddle himself...about the only stretch of clean sand here not fouled by dogs and water the colour of sapphires...absolutely beatiful...

[Jase]

this shows what makes the HF work like a short board

[Fritzkat]

374 my 6-4 before its virgin voyage... rode it 4 times since then, wishing the waves were perfect over head all the time.

[Jase]

Great stuff. I'm shopping for a 6'4" HF at the moment. I think it will rip in the Mentawiis in a month or two :)
I better conform to my own bitching above, so here is a pic I "borrowed" from the FW facebook page. Thought it was pretty interesting...

type all the words you want on here Jase....we are a friendly bunch....

razor shows a lot more entry rocker than i expected....maybe i should just go with Nevs first call and get the 6'3 and not a MB 6'2....Chris, chuck up an MB rocker shot if ya can,...or is it totally identical to the taj??????

[Chris]

i'll get Michel stuff up as soon as we are hit with our first boards for stock!!

[LeftLane]

[daybit]

My Hellfire just arrived today so I thought I'd post a pic of the special moment.
Thanks everyone for all of the great advice. Looking forward to taking it on its maiden voyage!

[daybit]

[surferireland]

Emmm - Im looking at HF on ebay currently in a 6'0 - getting very tempted.

[Chris]

yessir!

[daybit]

I was looking at my Hellfire (in Rapidfire) the other day and noticed that the light from a light bulb shining through the deck was making the carbon rods show. I snapped a pic. Hope you can make it out.
I wasn't sure if Firewire still made them with the carbon rods because they no longer put the black stripes on the bottom of the boards. Glad to know they are still in there.

[prjwebb]

haha thats a cool pic!

Radiography of a board!

[Chris]

hey day bit, the tech doesn't necessarily have anything to do with what we do to the boards aesthetically. if we changed the way a board was built and did something like removed the carbon rods, we would certainly inform people.

Cheers
