    Firewire is always testing...

    For those who wonder what the next board will be, construction, weight, shape...just know we are always testing and trying different ideas and methods.

    We are working on various projects as we speak with Felix and the rest of the crew. Feel free to ask any questions regarding construction or design in this forum. Suggestions wanted!

    That is one of the many reasons I only ride Firewire surfboards! Thanks Grant, I do not know enough about materials to give you guys any ideas that would make the boards work better and not cost more. I think trying to solve the yellowing problem would be a good one though.

    The Surf and Kite forum have been 'fused' together but they are separate...this thread is in the 'kite' forum.

    Stayfan,

    Most of the materials are posted on the website...the secret is a firewire recipe I can't disclose...We are constantly working and trying to find something that is lighter and more flexible. We finally found a bullet proof construction, now is the time to refine it and continue to improve.
