About
Firewire
The ALTERNATOR Series combines the perfect blend of a short rail line, generous curve and a slightly thicker foil, producing a surfboard that paddles well but still turns on a dime. The ALTERNATOR is the workhorse in our collection and naturally incorporates all aspects of FUTURE SHAPES TECHNOLOGY.
"Firewire’s give you 10kg & 10 years less than how you feel. You will see some great glimpses of Firewire performance in your first surf. But just like surfing a new surfboard, you will have to find your feet to get the feel for it. It will not be until the 5th or 6th surf that you will really open up the full potential of what the Firewire surfboard can offer."
- Michael ‘Munga’ Barry
"Really twist your body from the bottom turn, as this will load the board up to spring back on the turns, maximising the characteristic of the Firewire surfboard."
- Michael ‘Munga’ Barry

FIREWIRE Surfboards represents the Future of Shape in surfboard design.
In a market that has been slow to accept change, we have pushed the boundaries of surfboard design with FUTURE SHAPES TECHNOLOGY and we will continue to foster innovation and bring ideas to surfboard design that increase performance, board durability and sustainable manufacturing.
Firewire surfboards offer the original PARABOLIC balsa wood rails, EPS foam core and advanced composites, creating long lasting and rapid flex memory, catapulting the board in and out of turns.
Our award winning construction techniques represents the culmination of over 10 years of intensive R&D into alternative surfboard construction. Firewire Surfboards will make you surf better!
Our boards are designed by Nev Hyman and Dan Mann.
Nev Hyman is a master craftsman with over 30 years of shaping experience. He is passionate about progressive surfboard design and has distilled surfboards down to their essential ingredients.
Dan Mann, a former pro longboarder, cut his teeth as a ghost shaper for a number of name brands in California and was an early proponent of alternative materials in surfboard construction, making him a natural fit for Firewire.
FUTURE SHAPES TECHNOLOGY is the result of their collective expertise.
