Helium Technology Surfboards

What's Inside?

• Helium Technology: Lightweight surfboards made from 0.8-pound EPS foam core
• Enhanced performance and maneuverability due to lightweight design.
• Durable construction maintains appearance and performance over time.
• Endorsed by professional surfers like Kelly Slater for weight and flex

Surfing enthusiasts are always on the lookout for the latest innovations that enhance performance and durability. 

Helium Surfboard Construction has a durable deck skin, but controls flex in the rails through a mix of paulownia and balsa wood.

One such breakthrough is Firewire Surfboards' Helium Technology, which has garnered attention from both amateur and professional surfers. In this blog post, we will explore what Helium Technology is, its benefits, and why it has become a popular choice among surfers.

What is Firewire Surfboards' Helium Technology?

“Helium is light and lively, and great for generating speed in weak waves. LFT is still light, but a little more drivey and solid, and great for controlling speed in better waves.” - Rob Machado

Helium technology in surfboard construction is a proprietary method developed by Firewire Surfboards that utilizes a unique foam core. 

Helium surfboards offer a remarkable combination of lightweight design, durability, and enhanced performance, making them an excellent choice for surfers of all skill levels. The lightweight construction allows for superior maneuverability on the water, significantly improving agility and performance during rides. Despite their reduced weight, Helium technology does not compromise on durability; these boards are built to withstand the rigors of surfing, including impacts and abrasions, ensuring they remain reliable over time.

Additionally, the advanced materials used in Helium surfboards contribute to improved performance across various wave conditions, with many surfers noting better speed and responsiveness. Firewire's commitment to sustainability is also a key advantage, as Helium technology incorporates eco-friendly materials that are less harmful to the environment compared to traditional surfboard manufacturing processes. 

Benefits of Helium Surfboards

• Lightweight Construction: Helium surfboards utilize a stringerless 1.0 lb EPS foam core, making them significantly lighter than traditional surfboards. This lightweight design enhances maneuverability and reduces fatigue during long sessions.

• Responsive Flex: The use of Paulownia and Balsa wood rails allows for controlled flex throughout the board. This results in a lively and responsive feel underfoot, enabling surfers to execute tighter turns and maneuvers with ease.

• Enhanced Speed: Helium technology is specifically designed to generate speed in everyday waves. The lightweight nature of the boards allows for quick acceleration, making them ideal for weaker wave conditions where speed is essential.

• Durability: The proprietary 3mm aerospace composite deck skin contributes to the board's durability. It has a memory that allows it to rebound back to its original shape after being compressed, ensuring long-lasting performance and a pristine deck surface.

• Performance in Varied Conditions: Helium surfboards are engineered to perform well in a range of surf conditions, from small, mushy waves to more powerful surf. Their design allows for stability and control, making them versatile for different surfing styles.

• Eco-Friendly Materials: Firewire is committed to sustainability, and Helium technology incorporates more environmentally friendly materials compared to traditional surfboard construction methods, appealing to eco-conscious surfers.

• Reduced Damage: The construction of Helium boards minimizes the typical wear and tear associated with surfboards. Users have reported less damage to the deck surface, even after extensive use, which enhances the longevity of the board.

• Professional Endorsements: Many professional surfers, including Kelly Slater, have endorsed Helium surfboards, highlighting their performance and reliability in competitive settings.

What makes the Helium surfboard so durable

Firewire Surfboards' Helium technology has gained a reputation for producing highly durable surfboards that stand up to the rigors of surfing. Helium surfboards are known for their durability and performance.  Here are the key factors that contribute to the durability of Helium surfboards:

• Advanced Material Composition - Helium surfboards utilize a unique combination of materials that enhance their strength and longevity. The core of these boards is made from a lightweight 0.8-pound EPS foam, known for its excellent memory and resilience. 

• Reinforced Rails - The rails of Helium surfboards are crafted from a blend of Paulownia and Balsa wood. Both materials are lightweight yet strong, providing additional structural integrity. 

• High-Density Composite Deckskin - Firewire employs a high-density aerospace composite material for the top and bottom deck of the Helium surfboards. 

• Entropy Bio-Resin - The use of Entropy bio-resin in the construction of Helium surfboards not only makes them more environmentally friendly but also contributes to their durability. 

• Sandwich Construction - Helium surfboards feature a sandwich construction method, which involves layering materials to create a robust and resilient structure.
