    Flexflight Info

    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.

    Why did you stop making the longboards in FST? I love them in FST!

    there were a few factors. One is weight. We get the same durability and a better weight with the bamboo instead of the high density foam. the aesthetic appearance also plays a role. Most importantly, however, was the performance based feedback from riders, particularly Taylor Jensen. After extensive R&D the Crossfire in longboards won out and that is the way we have gone...

    Its possible to order them in FST however if you are comfortable waiting for it to be built.

    Cheers!

    Crossfire is beautiful! It'd be cool if more and more boards like the Dom etc. expanded into Crossfire over time.

    @Chris, picking the two up, the FST version always felt lighter to me. I guess you folks would know better, though.

    How do I custom order, contact the local rep or Firewire directly?

    Thanks!

    hey chingbaby,
    we don't build custom longboards at this point, but if you wanted to special order one in the FST tech, then just do so with your local Firewire dealer and have them contact us.

    Cheers

    Unless you're a pro longboarder wouldn't most people opt for more weight over a light one? I sure would.
