The Firewire Sci-Fi 2.0 is an evolution of the original Sci-Fi model, designed by Daniel 'Tomo' Thomson in collaboration with Kelly Slater. This updated version incorporates refined design elements to enhance performance across a variety of wave conditions.
Key Features
Wide Point Forward: The board's wide point is positioned forward of center, allowing for a shorter length without sacrificing volume, which enhances paddling efficiency and maneuverability.
Pulled-In Tail and Increased Rocker: A more refined tail and increased rocker, similar to the Cymatic model, provide greater versatility and improved performance in a range of wave conditions.
LFT (Linear Flex Technology) Construction: Utilizes a composite construction that offers a lively and responsive flex pattern, contributing to the board's dynamic feel underfoot.
Quad Inside Single Concave (QISC): Incorporates Tomo's signature QISC bottom contour, enhancing lift and speed while maintaining control.
Double Bat Tail: Features a distinctive tail design that aids in controlling speed and provides a unique aesthetic.

Performance Overview
The Sci-Fi 2.0 is designed to excel in a variety of wave conditions, from average to good quality surf ranging between 2 to 6 feet. The forward wide point and added volume under the chest enhance paddling power, making it easier to catch waves. The pulled-in tail and increased rocker improve maneuverability and control, allowing for dynamic turns and responsiveness. This combination makes the Sci-Fi 2.0 a versatile choice for surfers seeking a balance between speed, control, and adaptability.
