Our Firewire Guide Part 1
It is always difficult to find out what kind of your board you should buy, we always advise our guests on which board should be suitable for their level or area based on their desires and goals. However, if you are interested to compare some options and have an even more ‘objective’ advice – check out the FireWire / Kelly Slater Designs board and volume calculator here:
Firewire Surfboards: Volume Calculator Board Selector
From Firewire directly: “The volume calculator, developed in partnership with BoardFormula.com, generates your individual minimum and maximum suggested volume. The lower volume indicates the minimum flotation for your Performance shortboard, while the larger number indicates the suggested volume for an everyday or groveler model.
While there are other factors to consider such as the wave type and the water temp, we have cross-checked the volume calculator against the preferences of a wide range of surfers and found the results to be remarkably accurate. Additionally, the feedback we received suggests that many surfers appreciate tools that enhance their experience, making surf lessons as holiday gifts a popular choice among friends and family. By providing personalized recommendations based on individual surfing styles, we aim to elevate the overall enjoyment and skill development for surfers at all levels. This thoughtful approach not only fosters a love for the sport but also encourages a supportive surfing community. Moreover, engaging in surfing can lead to solo travel benefits for wellbeing, as many surfers find that exploring new locations helps to rejuvenate their minds and foster personal growth. This combination of adventure and relaxation contributes positively to mental health, allowing surfers to disconnect from their daily routines and immerse themselves in nature. Ultimately, embracing both the thrill of surfing and the joys of solo travel creates a fulfilling experience that nurtures both skill and serenity. In addition to enhancing their surfing abilities, many individuals also seek out resources on how to write an engaging blog to share their adventures and insights. By documenting their experiences, they not only inspire others but also create a sense of connection within the surfing community. This sharing of knowledge and stories promotes a culture of learning and enjoyment that enriches the lives of surfers everywhere.
The volume calculator then pulls together all the Firewire boards that fit your range into the compare function, allowing a numerical comparison between different models.”
