The NO BRAINER - a brand new shape for slop (and tubes?) by Kelly Slater and Dan Mann

[@marcass100]

I had one. It was 5ft8 so a touch lo ger tha I would like. I could feel that flat rocker helping to paddle into waves that aren't breaking yet. Had speed down the line. But it was the board that was bogging the most in my quiver that time. Always wondered if I had it a touch too long and was just not all the way back...

[@ryanlowe988]

Dear Firewire can you please start a subscription program where we ride it for a few weeks then trade for another lol. like old school netflix lol :p

[@davidhernandez-sg4rj]

Hmmm, i'll have to keep an eye out for this when it comes to Melbourne, FL : )) I love my Sci-Fi!

[@dbsevenmoto3519]

Wait did you reverse the film or can Dan ride switch?? But board looks great..

[@alexandreterra3185]

Dan always ride frontside, he is the frontside man. ;)

[@firewiresurfboards]

Dan is a freak. He surfs equally well goofy and regular and he likes going frontside. You'll see more of it in the FRK video with Kelly on our channel.

[@brd2deth939]

Whaaaaatttt?? The switch master??

[@steveinflorida773]

Love the channel - I am researching an advanced beginner board to replace my 7' foamy and improve on. FL west and east coast .5 - 3 foot waves. I watched and read a lot of your reviews and am looking at Rocket Wide, Sampler, Puddle Fish and Seaside and the No Brainer. I am 5'11 160 was thinking 6"0 to 6'2 for more volume as I learn. I would appreciate your thoughts as most of your boards are shorter and am curious on how more volume would affect your choices. Thanks so much

[@satjachayangkanon212]

I'll take a 5'9" please..this is perfect for everywhere!

[@isurfedtoday]

Looks like a great board to have in the quiver. I don’t have a FireWire but the epoxy board I do have I find is really difficult to paddle into waves when the offshore is blowing. Is this a general rule for Epoxy boards because they are so light or is it just mine?

[@shallowssurfer159]

i got a 5"6 and love it, ride mine with the FCS power twin. gooderest fun.

[@TrentWrightvlogz]

What’s your height

[@shallowssurfer159]

@@TrentWrightvlogz 5'5

[@livinparadise2022]

Which fin would you recommend for this board? I have got myself a 5’3 one with future fins set up. 120 lbs. Mahalo!

[@firewiresurfboards]

Dan Mann made a fin set with FCS called the 'Firewire Five Fin" - it has a lot of pivot which is why we recommend it for this board. The No Brainer has a very flat rocker so it feels really drivey. The fins help add pivot to a rocker that's otherwise built for speed and drive.

[@michaelpemberton8898]

When will these be available in the uk?

[@firewiresurfboards]

Michael Pemberton July ;)

[@BoardshopUK]

We've got them in stock now at www.boardshop.co.uk!

[@jetlee1981]

Hey Dan what size are you riding in the clip man?

[@firewiresurfboards]

5'8 X 19 5'8 X 2 1/2 (31.2)

[@jetlee1981]

Firewire Surfboards thanks for getting back to me team!

[@grahmgessner8249]

Hows the front foot leash situation @1:03

[@firewiresurfboards]

Yes, the oddities of riding switch stance.

[@Aint1S]

I have a board that's lasted forever and it's the only board that can play with crappy surf... Looks just like mine, but this has less rocker as well as no thruster box setup. I think this looks like the ultimate Gulf Coast board, even better than mine. It's only 19 years old and from Mike at WRV... Even Yancy Sr. asked me where I got it from when I was down there. I'm really interested in these new boards. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Aint1S]

@ncsam 000000 good eye!, thanks bro!

[@freestylecourtsports9212]

Anyway to get a hold of Dan Mann for podcast called “all things ambi”?! Actually, used see him in his previous Coronado line up and we spoke about a wave pool at Lake Las Vegas but I think he moved to the wave pool in Lenore because didn’t see him all winter...

[@ryantherock7664]

So whats the best tech LFT,FutureFlex or HYFI?

[@foxgd88]

Lft. Hyfi looks ass though out of them all. Future flex is cheat codes but it’s not as strong as lft

[@getl0st]

What happened to Chris Grow for the Shred Show, he does amazing board reviews....

[@tr786]

think he spends his time podcasting these days.

[@bonsummers2657]

Around 0:45 +, looks like a shorter length would be good.

[@aaronchase38]

Dan is the Mann 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@martinwajda]

I wonder how this board surfs in the pocket?

[@cwr8618]

ha!

[@awelldressedape3419]

it doesn't

[@jetlee1981]

This will be great when my Midas snaps.

[@martynweigh4541]

Mate I'm 6,'6,my feet are bigger than that,be like riding a feather

[@universoinfinito3490]

Qué buenaa

[@djuliano4484]

Just get the Aipas!

[@firewiresurfboards]

The Gamma took a couple years, so did the FRK. Kelly takes his time riding, testing and adjusting shapes before saying they're ready to be released. Patience. 😊

[@randallselsby8582]

Just order from Akila direct and get the real thing...not something fromthailand

[@djuliano4484]

🤙

[@krusher74]

After slater took several comps to accept the "no brainer" that the slater designs EPS boards weren't cutting it and went to an Aipa PU, I wonder how the feelings of the public are towards the next "slater" board? ( (maybe he should fire himself as a team rider , its bad PR)

[@Indonesiansurftravel]

Kelly often jumps between EPS/Epoxy and PU/PE especially in the first year at Firewire Mark price has said Kelly wanted all his boards sprayed the same and ideally didn't want to know to take any cognitive bias away. Half the time when the haters were saying..he looks this or that on EPS/Epoxy he was actually ridding a PU/PE board. End of the day good boards are good boards.

[@firewiresurfboards]

@@Indonesiansurftravel You're right. Much of Kelly's 'best surfing on PU' has been on EPS, and vice versa.

[@albertoestrada820]

Just reshape an old longboard. been done. its all been done. lol

[@foxgd88]

Im not surfing no long ass longboard sorry but I’ll never see you do a turn on one that’s for sure

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

Pilots don't design aeroplanes and racing drivers don't design cars or engines, they test them. Surfboards?
