Problem with my FIREWIRE!!!

[Gweedz]

Ok so I have had my firewire for a few months now and I recently noticed that there are air bubbles forming under the top layer. They mostly seem to be popping up where my pressure dings are. A friend of mine told me its probably from the gasses building up inside the board, because it has been very hot/humid where I live. I noticed that most of them go away when I go in the water. Has anyone had this problem of have heard of it, I tried contacting firewire but they have not got back to me yet.

oh he just wants an answer and he gets shut down by harry the hat the dinosaur.

Don't worry, It'll last forever. You'll never need another surfboard again.

No, it’ll last for the life of the product. Maybe someone slipped in a Disprin?

I thought that was what the Gortex valve was for? Guess it just does the extreme pressure let off.

Stand back Gweedz, I think it’s going to blow!

Ahh its just the helium in the core Gweedz.

They put helium in em to make them lighter. Also helps with popping airs. Taj has heaps of helium in his Firewires. In fact the have to make his core really strong so the thing doesn't blow.

A mate of mine has already broken 2 of 'em....

I saw some poor sod walking up the beach last week with his new Firewire in two bits. Yes they do snap. So do the FF. Gotta say though I think both boards are far more resistant to snapping than the standard PU version.

Even Tuflites snap. Seen plenty of snapped Tuflites.

Mabye Firewire could add a 12 month warranty against snapping as yet another marketing tool. You know, like when you go to Bing Lee and buy yer missus a buzzy dick or TV and they offer you extra warranty for $30.

Perhaps the kid behind the counter at the Quickcarroll Quick E Mart could offer you a 12 month warranty for say $50.??

My first comment was in jest too dinosaur. I found your first commnet rather amusing

Take it back to where you got it from and ask the question.....

No actually Natho, I don't know about that.

This reminds me of a friend of mine called Hugh who is a national sales manager for an erotic accessories firm. Watching Hugh engage women in totally straight faced conversations about hardware is a true delight.

Meanwhile back in Surfboard Land, don't tell me! People are BREAKING SURFBOARDS. Not possible.

If so I know the same guy, he works in the 'adult' industry.

With a board of this type of construction, you shouldn't have pressure dents after a few months and you sure as hell shouldn't have any bubbles under the skin, Call FW and demand a replacement.

why shouldn't you have pressure dings ? (and I'm talking heelies)

[Gweedz]

Yeah the pressure dings are from my heals after dropping off a heavy floater I landed on it pretty hard and it made a dent.

I have a board Josh Dowling made for me prior to the advent of Firewire, it has the same basic construction - corecell, eps and balsa , two years old and the only mark on it is a tiny ding Josh put in it jumping up and down on it demonstrating how strong it was. If FW are still using corecell, the deck shouldn't have any dents after a couple of months. Corecell is super tough - you can wack it with a hammer unglassed and it hardly dents, with a single layer of 4 oz is almost bullet proof.
