Firewire BOSS UP (6'6-7'6) Futures Ibolic

Overview

The Boss Up surfboard emerges as the natural progression from the SBoss, designed for surfers seeking a performance midlength board that inherits the exceptional design features of its predecessor. With 18 months of development, the BossUp is crafted to deliver outstanding performance, paddling ease, and versatility in various wave conditions.

Key Features

• Performance Midlength: A direct evolution from the SBoss, offering a balance of agility and stability.
• Tuned Rocker: Inspired by performance longboards like the TJ Pro and V, the rocker is fine-tuned for maximum performance without sacrificing glide or paddle speed.
• Five Fin Setup: Comes standard as a five-fin, but primarily ridden as a quad, with fin placement allowing for the use of the same quads as the SBoss.
• Slater Design Aesthetics: A board that stands out with its looks and performance, true to the Slater Design ethos.

Benefits

• Paddling Efficiency: Designed for easy paddling and catching waves, suitable for a wide range of surfing conditions.
• Customizable Riding Style: Versatile fin configuration to tailor the board's handling to the surfer's preference.
• Performance and Diversity: A board that excels in both its visual appeal and functional diversity, offering a unique surfing experience.

I-beam core construction with flex controlled at the rails using high density foam - an engineering feat developed for performance.

Our patented 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 our best-selling Helium technology. This is Kelly Slater's favorite technology to ride, offering speed, control, strength and response.

Performance

I-Bolic cores have the stiffness of our old Linear Flex Technology (LFT) with the flex and spring-back of our 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.

Construction

Our 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 our 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.

Lamination Compatibility

I-Bolic cores are paired with standard fiberglass lamination, AWT fiberglass lamination, and Volcanic lamination.

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 we use 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.

Performance

Our 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.

Construction

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

Core Compatibilty

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