The Firewire Mindcraft by Tomo is a compact performance surfboard built for surfers who want quick acceleration, tight turning, and a fast, engaged feel in everyday conditions. In the 5'8 size, this Mindcraft keeps things nimble and responsive while still offering a well-balanced volume for consistent paddle power.
A Futures Tri/Quad fin box setup gives you the flexibility to fine-tune how the board rides. Run it as a thruster for a more controlled, predictable feel, or switch to a quad for added speed and a looser, more down-the-line flow. Fins are not included.
Buying from Rider Shack supports a small, family-owned core surf shop run by surfers who are passionate about helping you find the right equipment and keeping surf culture strong.

How It Rides
Quick, Lively Feel
The 5'8 Mindcraft is designed to feel fast underfoot, responding instantly to weight shifts and directional changes. Its balanced volume helps maintain speed through flatter sections while keeping the board loose and playful.
Thruster or Quad Control
As a thruster, the board delivers dependable hold and drive through turns. Switch to a quad for increased speed and a more open, flowing line—especially useful in softer or less powerful waves.
