Thread: techograin boards

    techograin boards

    These keep popping up on instagram but I have yet to see anything on the firewire site. Are there any specs on these, or release dates?

    From what I've heard from the surf expo is initially it will be Baked Potato and Spitfire only. EPS core, parabolic rails, sustainably grown wood deck and bottom skins and entropy bio-resin hot coat. No external fibreglass. Very light weight apparently.
    6'0" - 77kg - 170lbs
    502R FPT - DL front DS rears
    506D RVG - Soar Powerbase DL
    600Q FTJ/CBD - Soar Powerbase DL
    604R FFE - Soar Powerbase DL

    sounds good, baked potato is what I'm buying next, or if my dominator sells it will be a spitfire :)

    Apparently WAY lighter than FST. The guy from Locals Surf Shop said he'd been feeling up the 503 Baked Potato at the Expo and it felt like it weighed around 4lbs... I'm not sure how accurate that is but it certainly sounds promising. Dammit now I want a TBP503 instead of my FPT502.

    The step up dominator thingy. There's a thread in the Europe section of the forum.

    The Technograin will likely make it to retail as we approach March and April. The Unibrow towards the end of Feb. Numbers will start small and grow!!
