Firewire Dominator Surfboard

6 reviews
The Firewire Dominator Surfboard from the UK’s favourite online surf shop. It’s been there right from the start and if it wasn’t the first, it was, and still is one of the very best performance hybrids available. Never underestimate the Dominator, it can do pretty much anything within reason. Hooks you up on mushy days and is more than comfortable when it gets a little bigger.

From the shaper

The Dominator boasts a voluptuous curvy outline with a pretty thick foil running tip to tail. The wide point was shifted back to reduce the nose width allowing it to negotiate those top turns without getting hung-up and still maintain its speed. Five fin boxes come as standard allowing experimentation with quad and thruster setups. Available in Future Shapes and the beautiful Timbertek Technology.

What We Like

From day one it was apparent that the Firewire Dominator was the board many of us had been waiting for.

Versatility

The vast majority of us aren’t embarrassed by head-high glass on tap, and have to make do with less than cover-shot conditions. Work, kids and family commitments are rarely beneficial to your surfing skills so we need to make the most of every wave we can sneak.

Not everyone wants to concede and go down the fun-board or Mal route, but many of us need a little help if we want to surf a shortboard in average waves. The Dominators generous proportions allow it to negotiate the flat spots and mushy sections without getting bogged down and will go vertical under the right feet.

Sizing The Dominator

For the more experienced rider the Dominator can be ridden pretty short (3 -4” shorter than your regular shortboard) making it a great option for weaker waves and winter when 5mm of neoprene is necessary.

Size the board up a little and it becomes a more inclusive craft. Older guys, the less experienced or the family man with limited water-time love its comfortable outline and its user friendly traits in the conditions most of us encounter on a regular basis. A board that is as relevant now as it was when it first arrived in the Boardshop warehouse some 10 years ago....fact.

So far so amazing :)
After years of faffing and looking for the ideal board for a one board quiver I feel like I've finally found the perfect board. It's still early days just one session on the board but no complaints. It paddles extremely well, getting in to the waves early. Once up and riding the board carries the extra volume really well and in truster set is sharp and responsive in the turns. The rocker profile is perfect, it's flat enough to aid catching smaller waves but there's enough so that when putting the board on the rail it carves beautifully and carries heaps of speed.
I'm a surfer who is getting older and thought my best days we're a dim and distant memory but this board makes me surf better and makes me fell like ill be hitting the lip and throwing spray once again.

5’11” Dominator 2.0 Helium
Just had my first surf on the Helium Dominator 2.0 and boy I’m impressed. Never owned an original Dominator as I was put off by the round tail. With the 2.0 coming in a squash, I bit the bullet. Board came brilliantly packaged by Boardshop and arrived without a scratch. Board paddles amazingly well and picks up speed from nowhere. I surfed it a thruster with Koloho Andino medium fins. I’m 5’10 and 79kgs. Volume feels about right for 5/4 winter suit and boots. Maybe could go smaller for warmer climates but I’ve only had one surf on it so far.

Great everyday board
I was lucky enough to try a dominator 2 and even though it was a bit bigger then I would normally go I loved it. Of all the hybrid style boards I have tried this is the best. It has the paddle power and picks up speed easy. But you can surf it like your high performance board. I like mixing up the fins for the conditions and it works with every set up so a great one board quiver. Thanks to the guys from Boardshop for sorting me out. Just need a good swell now.

Allways good to buy from Boardshop
I have bought lots of boards from the Boardshop. They always look brand new and sparkling white!!!
Delivery is fast, and I trust that the stock is the best available.

I already have a 5'11 Dominator 2, but this one is a 5'9 so keen to test it in overseas waves, and on better days here in Newquay.
