FIREWIRE SPACESHIP
The Firewire Spaceship is a high-performance step-up shaped by Mike Woo in collaboration with Kelly Slater — a board designed from the ground up for quality waves, with the feel of a precision tool and the hold to match. If your regular board starts to feel outpaced when the surf gets serious, this is the board built for those days.
WHO
The Spaceship is built for surfers who are ready to push into better surf with a board that can hold its own there.
- The experienced shortboarder who wants a dedicated step-up that still surfs like a high-performance board, not a gun
- The surfer who finds their everyday board getting washed around in overhead-plus waves and wants something with real hold in the pocket
- The reef surfer — tube rides, rail turns, and critical sections are where this board was designed to operate
- The performance-minded surfer who wants Kelly Slater's favorite shape for good waves and the construction to back it up
This board rewards surfers who surf with commitment — on the rail, in the barrel, and through critical sections where lesser boards get out-surfed by the wave.
WHEN
The Spaceship comes to life when the surf has genuine power and shape — waves with defined faces, hold-down zones, and enough push to reward a board built for precision. It excels when surf is chest-high or larger and the conditions are clean enough to actually surf on rail. The rounded pintail and performance rocker are designed to stay locked in on round wave faces and hold through steep, fast sections — the kind of surf where a more versatile shortboard starts to feel like a liability. Hawaiian reef breaks reward this board's DNA: hold in the tube, drive through the turn, and control when the wave gets critical.
WHAT
Mike Woo built the Spaceship around a rounded pintail — a shape that delivers straight-line speed, hold in the barrel, and control on fast, round wave faces. The rocker is calibrated for good waves: enough entry curve to paddle in decisively, enough tail flip to keep the board under control in steeper, more critical sections. A single concave runs through the front half of the board and transitions into a double concave between the feet — a combination that generates speed off the entry and then channels drive and direction under the back foot where the surfer needs it most. Performance rails keep the board locked in without sacrificing mobility through turns.
The Spaceship is available in two constructions, each delivering a distinct performance profile. Ibolic 2.0 brings an I-beam EPS core with high-density foam rails and a carbon strip inlay on the bottom deck — stiff, controlled, and responsive. Proflex is Firewire's most advanced build: a lightweight EPS core wrapped in an engineered Technorra carbon cage with S-glass deck lamination and carbon reinforcement along the bottom and rails. Proflex delivers targeted flex and immediate rebound straight off the rack, with no break-in period.
CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS
Ibolic 2.0: I-beam EPS core with flex controlled at the rails using high-density foam and a fully engineered carbon strip inlay on the bottom deck — stiff, precise, and built for performance response.
Proflex: Sandwich construction with a lightweight 1.5lb EPS core, an engineered Technorra carbon cage, S-glass deck lamination, and carbon reinforcement along the bottom and rails — Firewire's most advanced high-performance build with immediate flex and rebound response.
FIN CONFIGURATIONS
5-Fin. Rides as thruster or quad. Fins not included.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kind of waves is the Spaceship designed for?
The Spaceship is built for quality surf — waves that have power, shape, and hold. It excels at reef breaks, point breaks, and clean beach breaks where the face is round and the sections are fast. Most riders find it at home in chest-high to well-overhead surf with real push behind it. It's not a small-wave board — it was designed for conditions where a high-performance step-up earns its place.
What's the difference between the Ibolic 2.0 and Proflex Spaceship?
Both are built on the same Spaceship shape by Mike Woo — the difference is entirely in the construction. Ibolic 2.0 uses an I-beam EPS core with high-density foam rails and a carbon strip inlay on the bottom deck. It's stiff, controlled, and responsive. Proflex is Firewire's most advanced build — a carbon cage wrapped around a lightweight EPS core with S-glass lamination on the deck. It delivers more precise flex and rebound, feels lively straight off the rack without a break-in period, and is a more durable long-term investment. Ibolic 2.0 is the performance entry point; Proflex is for surfers who want the highest-performance construction available.
What size Spaceship should I ride?
Sizing a step-up like the Spaceship depends on your weight, the dimensions and volume of your current board, where you typically surf, and the conditions you're stepping up into. We're happy to help you dial it in — reach out directly:

When you contact us, include your current board's dimensions and volume, the construction you're considering, the type of breaks you surf most (beach break, reef break, point break), how often you surf, and your location — location affects shipping options and helps us give you accurate delivery information.
