Firewire Surfboards is thrilled to announce the launch of the Neutrino. Inspired by the Nano, one of Tomo’s original Quad-Inside-Single-Concave Modern Planing Hull designs from around 2008/2009, the Neutrino features the same wide chop tail design – one of the lowest drag tail designs you can make, allowing the water to release perfectly symmetrically or freely over the chop angle at the same time, which translates into low drag, high-speed surfing, and ideal for small wave conditions and creating speed when the wave energy is low.
Tomo explains, “The Neutrino incorporates an ultra-parallel rail design, which has become a staple of mine, and that gives you a lot of drive and maximizes your surface area into the most minimal length in your plane shape. The overall effect is a fun design that rides like a skateboard with a whole lotta speed. It’s user friendly and super fun to ride.”
He added, “The nose has a nice area to paddle forward and catch waves with, and is great for low swing weight performance surfing so that you can hit the lip and have no feeling of extra swing weight on the nose of your board. ”
Tomo’s Quad-In-Single-Concave design helps give the board lift and make the board feel really free on the water, it makes the board go across the boundary layer of the water with less drag and more speed.
The Neutrino works amazing in small waves but holds up in medium to even double overhead waves. Because it offers the drive and foam of a much bigger board in a smaller package. Its bottom contour is the perfect design to get you going in small waves and give you a lot of hold when there’s a bit of juice.
Built in I-Bolic 2.0 Technology, this I-beam core construction has flex control at the rails using high density foam – an engineering feat developed for performance. I-Bolic 2.0 Technology offers the same speed, control, strength and response as the original, but with increased strength due to a fully engineered carbon strip inlay on the bottom deck and an updated look.
Pair with Firewire Velox Fin Set as a Thruster for the best performance, and try our Slater Designs Endorfins Twin + 2 for more speed and looseness when conditions are small and gutless.
Firewire’s Demo Days schedule will provide a unique opportunity for surfers to test drive the Neutrino. Eventually, it will join the Firewire Fleets, a global premium surfboard rental program.
