Re: Good shaper in Newcastle area?
The shaper was Paul Parkes of Triple P Surfbaoards in Redhead,NSW. Did a nice job and I'm still happy with the board, had a few good days of surf in a row which helps you find your feet....and your fitness! Would love to have a bash at a firewire now to do a proper comparison. Funny thing... Paul wa...

Got my Firewire copied
G'day Fellas, back again after a while off the net. Finally found a good local shaper to copy the Firewire Alternator I snapped some time ago. I have only had it a week and only surfed it a few times in average conditions until this arvo. I'm not 100% sure but I reckon it's just as good as the Firew...

Looks like I have opened a can of worms with this whole copying thing. I can appreciate a shaper producing a piece of art and not wanting it copied. I can also appreciate a shaper not choosing to copy another artists board too. However Firewire have no problems taking Nevs shapes and mass producing ...

To be honest I don't know what I liked so much about it. I can only assume it's the shape as I have noticed that the flex that firewire rave on about is not much more of an improvement on PU boards. I know the firewires are definitely lighter so it will be interesting to see how a replica of one mad...

No offer to fix
Hi Scot, Nup, no offer to fix from firewire and I don't think it's even possible to fix a snapped firewire due to the type of material that gives it it's supposed strength. Plus, the balsa in the rails is also snapped and you can't really fix that. It would probably cost more to fix it than by a new...

Firewire Surfboards - Hot or Not?
I recently purchased a 6'6" Firewire Alternator from Cronulla surf. Honestly, the board was the best board I have ridden. It may have just been the shape, the fact I got used to riding my old slug, the fin set up the weight or the much talked about flex or a combination of all of the above…who knows...
