Firewire Long Rider Helium 6'10 x 21 ½ x 2 ⅝ Surfboard

The Long Rider is a highly versatile, very easy to surf mid-length that performs equally as well for beginners and experienced surfers alike. With volume generously hidden throughout the foil and outline, the Long Rider catches waves as easily as the longboard you learned to surf on, but talented surfers will find this shape can hold the rail in tight angles as well as their favorite shortboard.

Wave Type
The Long Rider excels in anything from ankle-high to overhead - flat faces, round faces, and everything in-between. Whether you're looking to cruise on smaller days or take on head-high sets, this mid-length surfboard has you covered.

Board Features
The Long Rider is a highly versatile midlength shape, due to the volume generously hidden throughout the foil and outline. This volume helps you paddle and catch waves easily, while the rails and tail offer all the performance you'll need to bring this shape into larger surf.

Helium Core Technology

This is your ideal technology choice for generating speed in weak, everyday waves. The Firewire Helium technology is a stringerless 1.0 lb EPS foam core with flex controlled with rails made from Paulownia and Balsa wood, running the complete length from nose to tail, combined with a 3mm proprietary aerospace composite deck skin.

The wood rails enable a lively flex in the rail that gives a loaded-up, spring-back feeling, and the deck skins make your board feel this way for a long time.

Helium deck skins are beneficial for both durability and performance - and have a memory that will rebound back to form after being compressed, making it very responsive in addition to keeping your deck surface pristine for many years.

Helium Performance
Ideal for generating speed in weak, everyday waves - this is your choice if you want unmatched response, lightweight and durability. Helium has a lively, responsive flex underfoot, and surfs quickly and explosively when creating tight angles.
