Daniel "Tomo" Thomson: The Visionary Shaper
Daniel Thomson, known as "Tomo," is a pioneer in surfboard design. Drawing inspiration from aeronautics and hydrodynamics, Tomo has reimagined surfboard shapes to enhance performance and maneuverability. His MPH designs, characterized by wide tails and straight lines, are a fusion of art and science, delivering exceptional speed and control on the water.

Neutrino Design Specifications
-
Rocker: The Neutrino features a balanced rocker profile, combining a slight nose lift with a moderate tail kick. This design facilitates smooth transitions and responsive turns, making it ideal for various wave conditions.
-
Concave: Incorporating Tomo's signature Quad-In-Single-Concave bottom contours, the Neutrino provides lift and speed, allowing the board to glide effortlessly over the water with minimal drag.
-
Plan Shape: The ultra-parallel rail line is a hallmark of Tomo's MPH designs. This layout enables the board to be ridden shorter while maintaining a full, functional rail line for drive and control. The wide nose adds paddle power and makes catching waves easier, while its low swing weight delivers snappy, lip-hitting performance.
-
Tail Shape: The wide chop tail design is one of the lowest drag tail shapes, allowing water to release symmetrically for efficient speed generation, especially in smaller, low-energy waves.
Firewire's I-Bolic 2.0 Construction
The Neutrino is crafted using Firewire's innovative I-Bolic 2.0 construction. This technology combines lightweight materials with a robust design, ensuring durability without compromising performance. The I-Bolic 2.0 construction also emphasizes sustainability, aligning with Firewire's commitment to eco-friendly practices.
