Firewire TJ Pro Mid Surfboard Review

Available here: https://www.boardshop.co.uk/brands/fi... This is a really good board,the Firewire TJ Pro Mid surfboard designed by Dan Mann is a winner. We've been lucky enough to have a 7' 2 to surf for a month prior to the official launch and we've loved it. Its a board that can be surfed by pretty much anyone in small onshore waves right through to lined up offshore stuff. First impression is that it feels sleek, the 7' 2 packs in 46.5 litres but under the arm or when actually surfing it feels much less. We've all enjoyed surfing it. Design wise its got a flattish rocker with enough flip in the nose to keep it working in steeper waves. The board is flat through the front section on the underside and then goes into a double concave through the middle, nothing too extreme but enough to give lift to generate speed and plenty of and glide. The rails are neutral through to half way and then firm up by the fins and get more tucked into the tail. The tail has a performance outline, its quite pulled in. This board delivers all the stuff you want from a mid length, ie stability, paddle power etc but it also has a far more responsive feel than you get with other boards. It works in pretty much anything, we've surfed it in knee high onshore beach break waves through to lined up offshore shoulder high point waves, its fun in both. A total beginner could get the basics down on this board and equally a seasoned surfer will really enjoy how lively it is. The TJ Mid Pro has the Ibolic epoxy core tech with the Volcanic lamination. This means the board feels lively and will keep that lively feel indefinitely, the tech is also light but not too light and super durable, all in all a great package. The board is set up with a 4 + 1 fin system, a central universal box with 4 Futures boxes. We surfed it as a 2 + 1 in smaller waves with an FCS Connect 7" fin centre fin and as a quad with the Endorfins Velox fins in better waves, both have their merits you need have a play around and see what works for you, could even surf it as a single fin! Firewire make great boards from full on grovelers to longboards and everything in between. They do a few Mid lengths too, so lets compare a couple; the TJ Pro Mid is more user friendly everyday board than the the Long Rider model which feels more like a step in comparison. The closest thing to compare it to is the Harley Ingleby Moe by Thunderbolt, there are undoubtedly similarities but a couple of little tweaks and the Volcanic tech elevate the TJ Pro Mid to a slightly higher level. 🎯 Shop the TJ Pro Mid: https://www.boardshop.co.uk/brands/fi... 💥 Try it, don’t like it?
