Helium Technology:
Firewire's Helium Technology builds on their FST tech to take things up a level. A super light .8lb EPS interior core is sandwiched with a newly developed composite skin. The redesigned parabolic rail contains both Balsa and Paulownia woods. The end result is a 15% lighter board than the already light FST... Quicker flex and rebound characteristics and a higher breakpoint.
Helium Technology is the result of three years of research and development in the Firewire labs, (ie. the sea). What you have is the best elements of the FST and LFT. You have the lifespan of the FST, with the enhanced pop and feel of the LFT. The deck will also compress slightly underneath your feet, responding to your movements. We at Down the Line Surf Co. have every confidence that the Firewire boys have got this completely right... Helium Technology will be here for a long, long time!
Volcanic Technology
Volcanic Tech is made from Basalt Fibres extruded from volcanic rocks that are crushed, melted and extruded into woven fibres that make up the cloth layers that wrap around the board. The cloth features similar characteristics to carbon in regard to strength and weight however, being constructed from natural organic materials, it is a better degradable ECO alternative than traditional carbon fibre cloth. Basalt fibres have better strength characteristics than traditional glass fibres, and unlike most glass fibres is highly resistant to alkaline, acidic and salt corrosion. Basalt fibres also have more flex than traditional Carbon fibre, allowing the board to have more flex for a natural feel under foot.
