![]() Our goal has always been to combine high performance surfing with increased durability resulting in a more sustainable surfboard that increases the fun factor for everyone who rides them. “Firewire believes that the combination of EPS/Epoxy and other high tech materials is where the future of surfboard technology lies. After years of growing, developing and honing their craft as a company, they know create boards that cater to all ages and levels of expertise. In this pursuit they have partnered with BLOOM Foam to develop a traction pad that is the most eco-friendly. More recently Firewire has been dedicated and committed to manufacturing boards that will improve your experience with less impact on the environment. By 2006 Firewire was officially becoming a global name, with boards generated from CAD/CAM software allowing for the perfect boards to be steadily produced without variations and imperfections in the shape. 17 years later the name was changed again, to Nev Future Shapes, where it entered the global market, manufacturing over 5000 years a year with his growing crew.įast forward to 2004, Nev was introduced to Bert Berge who showed him a handmade surfboard featuring balsa rails and high-density composite top and bottom. After travelling Nev decided to pursue creation of blanks for some of the best surfers in the world, and with the years of experience he gained, he began to hone his craft for the perfect surfboard. ![]() Originally started by Australian Nev Hyman in 1975, in Perth as Odyssey Surfboards, it became Nev Surfboards in 1981. In recent years they have taken pride in research and improvements that reduces the impact their industry has on the environment.

The entropy bio resin which replaces petro-chemicals with bio-based materials for an environmentally friendly epoxy, makes this a Level One ECOBOARD Verified surfboard. The EPS foam core weighs in at 680 grams and uses an Ultralight 1mm High compression decksin. The Springer HD plays a pivotal role in optimising flex from the nose to the tail. Linear Flex Technology uses Firewire’s SPRINGER HD, a 18mm wide aerospace composite running down the centre of all LFT boards and is the latest in SPRINGER technology. We recommend the Futures Machado Pivot Blackstix or the FCS Rob Machado PG Thruster Easy to ride for all levels and easy to ride in all types of waves." - Rob Machado back and forth until we finally agreed that it was ready. ![]() We’ve been modifying and tweaking it for years.Ī little bit of width here. He’s been riding this board for close to a decade. And then you have my number one test pilot - TODD GLASER. ![]() 'I like to think of the guy at the Donut store that glazes the donuts. ✓ Double concave at the tail, single concave at the nose You get to avoid making about 100 extra measurments by taking that shortcut at the expense of some precision.✓ Wide point in front of center of the board The more sections, the more accurate it is, but with diminishing returns for your effort - that's the theory that makes integral calc work. If it's a triangle, multiply area by 1/2 the thickness. If it's a rectangle, multiply area by the thickness. To get the thickness, for the same section, do the same thing on the rocker profile, break it up into rectangles and right triangles again. rectangles and right triangles, to figure out surface area (i.e. I'm with your original idea, get some calipers and measure width, and length at a series of points and turn them into shapes that can be easily calculated i.e. Using integral calculus would be a nightmare, depending on how accurate you want to be, due to the constantly changing angles, you'd have to take a lot of measurements. BoardCad or as drzoidberg stated, sink it, that'll get you the most accurate displacement, but you'd need a graduated bathtub to do so :)
