Description

The Firewire Timbertek Greedy Beaver surfboard. The Greedy Beaver looks like a longboard, has all the benefits that a longboard brings but it’s a shortboard in spirit. It’s got the wave catching ability and the glide of a log but has the manoeuvrability you associate with a shortboard. You can put it on a rail and surf it off the tail and it comes to life like you can't believe, tight turns and pocket surfing are a reality on a board which looks like a longboard. All this is possible through the thinned out dropped rails and the single to double concave. The reduced volume in the rail allows you to start your turns more easily than you'd expect and the single to double concave gives the board lift which maintains the speed through fatter or flatter sections of the wave. Guaranteed fun in waves from knee to head high for all levels of surfer. Sizing is straight forward, if you're nearer to the beginner end of the scale, if you're coming off a minimal then go bigger. If you're 70kgs and a progressing beginner it’s the 6 2 or 6 4, if you’re a decent intermediate it’s the 5 10 or 6 0 and if you're a ripper go as short as you like.

Timbertek construction is the combination of a lightweight EPS core, and sustainably-grown timber deck skins, Firewire's legendary parabolic rail construction, and an Entropy bio-resin hot coat give an extremely lightweight and durable surfboard with ALL of the high performance flex traits of Firewire's existing technologies. Even more impressive, this tech has lead to a significant reduction in exterior lamination significantly further reducing the boards carbon footprint. TIMBERTEK, it's simply High Performance Art!

Boardshop is stoked to be a key partner for Firewire surfboards across Europe and beyond. The staff here have surfed pretty much every board in the range at some time or another and we speak to surfers from all over the world and get their feedback on how the boards perform in all sorts of conditions so we're well placed to talk about all aspects of Firewire surfboards. We're happy to consider trading in your old board against a new board, so If you have any questions about this we'd be delighted to answer them and advise on any potential board choices or enquiries you might have, just drop us an email to info@boardshop.co.uk or call us on 0044 (0) 1243 674250.

Fast delivery, board well protected - color unexpected...
I ordered the board on a Friday at lunch time, it was delivered the following Wednesday evening (to the Netherlands). DHL gave me the option of choosing how and when i would like the delivery (nice). Superb protection by wrapping in cardboard and use of the boardbag I had ordered as well.
I did not have a chance to try the board out yet, but I like it still...
Surprising, but not necessarily negative, is the following though: The FW logo, all printed text as well as the fin boxes and leash plug are brown. I am used to black writing, a logo that looks like it is burned into the wood and black-grey fin boxes and leash plug (that is how the board is shown online, that is how other FW boards look, that is what i expected). I like the brown as well, it goes well with the TT looks. However, i kind if wish i had been told what to expect or maybe even given the choice...
Still worth 5 stars to me.

Superb
After a couple of years of riding rental board I have finally decided to take the plunge and get my first board - I can only say I wish I had done so earlier! This board is simply insane! Paddles like a breeze and catches waves like a machnine (not just any machine, mind you, we are talking a born hunter-killer like T-1000 in Terminator 2).
If there were six stars in the rating system to give I would have happily given seven.
The same goes for the Boardshop’s staff - I got a lot of valuable, personalized advice before purchase, and shipping and handling was done immaculately! The board arrived safe and sound straight to my BnB in Spain.
Couldn’t recommend the Boardshop or the Greedy Beaver more!

Love this board
Just wow! Just back from the first ‘real’ outing with my new 6’6” Greedy Beaver. Scored 2-3 ft waves on it and got to see the potential that this board has to offer. Just as the FireWire description states, when your weight is on the front of the board it paddles, catches and rides like a long board. Transfer your weight to the back foot, and it comes to life with tight turns and floaters well within the grasp of even middle aged heavyweights like myself. Love it and can’t wait to get on some long walking waves if they ever show themselves on the Gower. Buy this board!

Always Timbertek, great board!
This board is for all the surfers, searching for an easy paddler with lots of glide and a ton of fun.
85 kgs and surfing it at 6.2 as intermediate surfer for 2 weeks in Arrifana/Algarve. Waves were pretty strong with around 5+ ft for about a week. If there's a channel, that's the go to board!
Had one of the longest rides of my life on this board.
Duckdiving definitely is little trickier due to the volume in the nose.

Something a bit special
Have been surfing a while and wanted a small wave board for those days where my 5’7 baked potato couldn’t get going.
Had my eye on the 6’6 but had worries it may not catch waves or surf as responsively as I liked.
Had four great surfs through March/April in 1-2-3ft clean and this thing glides its so smooth set up as a thruster. But point it at a lip or a section and you’ll make what your aiming to do! Small jab on your back-hand, float the section whatever you want! It really is that good.
Does not feel floaty or too much board. However I specifically got it for these conditions but could see it going well in most conditions. The pulled tail makes for a really stylish carve but never feels lazy especially when you drive hard off the fins.
Bottom line love it!
Your wave counts about to triple!
Watch out for upset long boarders cuz you just out paddled them for that last wave!

Hi guys,
Got the board in perfect conditions. Quick delivery
Was a bit worried when I got the packet from DHL as there was a deep hole in it and the postman didn't want to take any responsability for it. Thankfully the guys at Boardshop had done a great job packing in the board was in perfect conditions !!!

A*** service and knowledge!
Had a good exchange of emails with roger to begin with, making sure that the board was the right one for me and giving honest advice. It never felt like they were just trying to sell me any board, instead they seemed really genuine in finding the right board for me! Also went out of their way when the board was out of stock to get me the board ASAP and before anyone else could snap it up! Will order all my surf gear from these guys from now on. A surf shop run by surfers for surfers and it really makes a difference! Cheers guys.

Great board!
Just surfed the board in autumn in France with powerful waves and it was a dream. 10ft 16seconds: great control also at high speed bottom turns. When the waves got smaller it surfed so smooth and fast through flatter sections. I thought I was 10 kgs lighter.
I am 67kg and my choice was a 6.0. It is the first time I surfed quads. I wished I had this boards already years ago.
Thanks also for the fast delivery.
Best Tobias
