About the Product
Dan Mann strikes again the Firewire Spun Honey surfboard in the Helium tech looks great.
This new model is based on Dan's classic Spitfire model from a few years back and is basically a performance groveler.
The Spun Honey delivers a fast, forgiving ride with a spicy edge, ideal for anyone wanting to push performance in weaker everyday waves.
The Spitfire model from back in the day was very popular and very usable in everyday conditions, the Spun Honey carries the same DNA. The most obvious of these features is the diamond tail, this gives the board a pivoty feel and allows it to get on a rail smoothly and quickly, ideal for the shifty beach breaks that most of us surf. The wide point is just back from the centre point but not as far back as with the Sweet Potato. This combined with a tapered tail gives a great balance of paddling and wave catching along with a lively back foot feel.
The concave set up is not disimilar to the Sweet P, an aggressive double concave sat within a single but the double concave goes further up towards the nose meaninge asier release into turns and heaps of lift and therefore speed. The rail rocker line sits between the Sweet P and original Spritfire, more than the Sweet P, less than the Spitfire. The central stringer rocker is a bit straighter which is key in delivering the paddle power and flow in weaker waves.
The 5 fin set up gives you the 3 way choice of thruster, quad or twin plus trailer...choose your poison!
Firewires Helium tech is all about making an already amazing set of construction options even better. Its lighter, seems strong, no signs of any pressure marks at all, and very fast. High Density Aerospace Composite Deck Skins and a new Paulownia/Balsa mix on the rails gives a faster flex response. Having surfed the tech in a couple of different models it does feel light but the speed through a stiffer feel and responsiveness is exceptional, Helium is here to stay.
