I have really enjoyed the footwells I have created on the deck of my bamboo rapidfire. FST tend to crack before they will dent in my experience. Can anyone compare/contrast the white rapid fire with the bamboo rapidfire?

No first hand experience from me, but from what's been said, it emulates the feel of the bamboo but with a different atheistic.
yeah. thats about it. a nearly identical ride!!

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
So i bit the bullet and bought a 5'8 white rapid fire spitfire. Ive surfed a 5'10 rapid fire dom for 2 years and just had my first surf on the spit this morning. Very happy with how the spit rode. It's def more responsive than the dom which is what i was looking for. Also, Chris is right in that the feeling of the white rapidfire and the bamboo skin feels identical. It looks pretty sweet too with a navy firewire stamp and navy where the step down rail is. I should have taken a pic before i waxed it up.
So if your looking to change up to a white in the rapidfire, don't be scared that there is any difference in the way it rides. Good job firewire!
