Firewire announces the
release of a Longboard range Firewire Longboards feature an EPS core, high density skin and PARABOLIC balsa rails, producing an ultra lightweight, durable longboard with the same superior performance characteristics made famous by Firewire’s shortboards. “With all the success of our shortboards, it’s ironic that some of our best feedback has come from the longboards we’ve tested,” said Mark Price, President of Firewire USA, “Applying flex memory and rapid rebound to longboards eliminates chatter through increased dampening;at the same time the FST construction provides insane acceleration; not to mention the 30% weight saving and increased durability over a traditional PU longboard.”
Firewire Longboards are offered in five (5) models developed by FIREWIRE
Designer Dan Mann, a former pro longboarder and longtime San Diego Shaper.
“We’ve tweaked the sandwich construction versus the short board specs to
compensate for longer length,” said Mann, “I’m amazed at how lively and
forgiving they are through turns, and yet the boards hold great while
nose-riding.”
