Tomo Designs Revo Max I-Bolic Volcanic Surfboard

Tomo's latest Modern Planing Hull shape featuring his innovative Vee Quad Concave. The Revo Max is a step up twin and performance mid-length rolled into one surfboard.

Wave Type
The Revo Max is a step up twin and performance midlength that works well in 2 to 8 foot surf, especially in lined-up pointbreaks and well-shaped beachbreaks.

Board Features
The Revo Max is Tomo's latest Modern Planing Hull shape featuring his innovative Vee Quad Concave. This unique bottom contour provides ease of transition, offering uncommon control on rail at speed. The Vee is what provides unrivaled rail to rail transitions.

The TJ Pro and TJ Pro V are Firewire's first longboards built in their patented I-Bolic Core Technology. I-Bolic Technology is an I-beam core construction with flex controlled at the rails using high density foam - an engineering feat developed for performance. The all-new TJ Pro and TJ Pro V are wrapped in Volcanic Lamination - Firewire's sustainable alternative to carbon, offering increased durability and elevated response.

I-Bolic Core Technology

The Firewire patent pending I-Bolic core technology is an engineering feat developed for performance, without the need for external carbon layups or heavy laminations. These models offer the stiffness of Linear Flex Technology (LFT) with the flex and spring-back of their best-selling Helium technology. This is Kelly Slater's favorite technology to ride, offering speed, control, strength and response.

I-Bolic Performance
I-Bolic cores have the stiffness of the Firewire old Linear Flex Technology (LFT) with the flex and spring-back of their best-selling Helium technology. The I-beam ensures firmness underfoot and unparalleled break strength, while the high density foam parabolic rails enable flex and recoil through turns.

I-Bolic Construction
The Firewire I-Bolic technology is a 1.5 lb EPS foam core with a 18mm high density foam stringer in the core, 16mm high density foam parabolic rails to control flex, and a 5mm high density foam springer on the bottom. Paired with their standard fiberglass lamination, on the deck it has a 3mm high density composite deck skin on the deck sandwiched between the double 4 oz E fiberglass cloth layers, and also has double 4 oz E fiberglass capping the bottom.

Volcanic Lamination Technology

Volcanic lamination technology is made from basalt, a natural element that comes from volcanic rocks. These volcanic rocks are crushed, melted down and then extruded into woven fibers that make up the basalt cloth Firewire uses in this lamination technology. This process requires the basalt rock to get to about 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,730 degrees Fahrenheit.)

The cloth has the same functional characteristics to carbon, making it a sustainable alternative to carbon, which is very bad for the environment. While basalt fiber has been around for decades, it's relatively new to fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) and structural composites used for surfboard manufacturing. It has a similar chemical composition to glass fiber, but better strength characteristics.

Volcanic Performance
Firewire's most durable construction with elevated response. This sustainable alternative to carbon is stronger than carbon and can also withstand higher temperatures than carbon, making it a top choice for the aerospace industry in the manufacturing of rockets and jet engines. It also has higher elasticity than traditional carbon, allowing the board to have more flex for a natural feel underfoot.

Volcanic Construction
The Firewire Volcanic lamination schedule is double 4 oz basalt cloth on the deck, and single 4 oz basalt cloth on the bottom.

Volcanic Core Compatibility
Volcanic lamination is paired with either I-Bolic cores or Helium cores.
