Introduction
Welcome to Blitz Surf Shop, your ultimate destination for high-quality surfboards online in New Zealand. In this blog we’re sussing out the innovative world of Firewire surfboards (which includes Slater Designs branded surfboards), specifically their groundbreaking volcanic technology. Knowing a bit about this recently released technology can help you decide on your next premium surfboard purchase.
What is Firewire’s Volcanic Technology?
Firewire Surfboards, known for their commitment to innovation and sustainability, have introduced into surfing manufacturing, a revolutionary technology that incorporates volcanic basalt fibre into their surfboard construction. This unique material, derived from volcanic rock, offers an array of benefits that traditional surfboard materials can't match.
How Does Volcanic Technology Work?
Volcanic technology in Firewire surfboards involves using basalt fibre, which is produced by melting volcanic rocks at high temperatures. This fibre is then woven into fabrics that are incorporated into the surfboard’s structure. The result is a lightweight, durable, and environmentally friendly surfboard that performs exceptionally well in the water.
Key Benefits of Volcanic Technology
-
Enhanced Durability: Basalt fibre is incredibly strong and resilient, making surfboards more resistant to dings, cracks, and general wear and tear. This durability helps your surfboard withstand the harshest conditions, from powerful closeouts to busting huge airs.
-
Lightweight Performance: Despite its strength, basalt fibre is surprisingly lightweight. This means that surfboards made with volcanic technology are easier to manoeuvre, offering better control and speed on the waves.
-
Eco-Friendly: Firewire’s commitment to sustainability is evident in their use of basalt fibre. Unlike traditional fibreglass, basalt is a natural, non-toxic material that has a lower environmental impact. Choosing a surfboard with volcanic technology is a step towards a greener planet. Firewire Surfboards are constantly trying to lessen their impact on the planet. Also if your board lasts longer because it is stronger then its going to have less environmental impact
-
Superior Flex: The unique properties of basalt fibre provide a superior flex pattern. This enhances the surfboard’s responsiveness and pop, allowing for sharper turns and more dynamic manoeuvres on the water.
Why Choose Firewire’s Volcanic Technology?
Choosing a Firewire surfboard with volcanic technology means investing in performance, durability, and sustainability. Here at Blitz Surf Shop, we believe in offering our customers the best products that not only enhance their surfing experience but also contribute positively to the environment.
