The Firewire Kite Surfing line is designed for an all round wave riding experience depending on the type of feel you are looking for. This really depends on personal preference, body size and riding conditions. Obviously no one board suits all.
The two thruster designs are suited for guys that love drive coming of the bottom and then squaring up for a nice solid hook. These board give the rider the ability to go anywhere on the wave you want, as the combination of flex, rocker and shape make them super addictive. Your size and weight and riding style will dictate which one you opt for.

I would recommend this board if you are used to riding a smaller kite board with a little less volume. And if you like to have power in your kite this board will do the trick.
For the smaller rider this board will give you speed and control while banking some solid hack either strapless or strapped, making it easy to stop the tail when you need to slow down or sink it in to throw some buckets.

This board is suited for the bigger rider but can also accommodating the lighter guy ...
if he wants some more float to get out on the lighter days. This board is super quick and alive, giving bigger riders a high level of performance while also giving them some volume under their feet, but does not feel like they have too much board to kite on.
KQF 6'0 S
This board really soars up-wind and with some weight behind it loves to be ridden like a skateboard ...
giving you great combo in top turns to tail slides. This boards is also suited for the rider that wants a board that they can ride in marginal winds to onshore slop and still have a ball. This could be you.

KDM 5'8 R
This hybrid model is the bomb for lighter wind days or soft, mushy surf.
With low entry rocker a wide outline it will get up and plane immediately and carry you through any section with ease. It plows upwind as well, but don't be fooled, it will also turn tight in the pocket. The 5'8" comes in a 5/4/3 fin configuration giving you plenty of options in one board.

KHF 5'6 D
The latest shape to join the FireWire kite quiver, this board is amazing with deep double concave for drive and lift, light entry rocker and a sweet outline with diamond tail. Not as round as a the KDM ...
... nor narrow as a our Taj high performance, this board captures all the great qualities of both. It's smaller size shines in lighter wind for the sub 175lb rider but will carve tight turns on the rail in the vert with minimal effort. The Hellfire comes in a 5/4/3 fin setup so you can dial it into a number of different surf conditions.

Deviant Fin
TImprove upwind performance and create even tighter arching turns with out Deviant fin. The Deviant fin is a single center fin suitable for tri fin setup on any board.
The Deviant fin will move 7 degrees to each side automatically (14 degrees total). Your board will feel looser and faster with this fin installed and upwind performance increases. A small price to pay to turn any board into a pocket carving machine. Available in both Futures or FCS.
