Technology Behind the Magic

The Dominator Pro features Firewire's renowned Helium construction, providing the perfect balance of performance and durability. This board maintains the DNA of the original Dominator while offering enhanced responsiveness through a carefully engineered shape that caters to more advanced surfing.

Real-World Performance

The Dominator Pro truly comes alive in chest-high and above conditions. While it performs well in various wave types from knee-high to overhead, its sweet spot is in punchy waves with some curve to them. From small punchy beach breaks to head-high and overhead pockety waves, this board is designed to sit tight in the pocket and deliver responsive performance when the waves have some energy.

The moderate increase in rocker curve from nose to tail compared to the original Dominator gives this board additional performance capabilities in steeper wave faces. The bottom contour features slightly more single concave under the front foot flowing into a double barrel concave through the fins, transitioning to a vee out the tip of the tail—all working together to enhance speed and control in quality conditions.

Fin Setup Options

The Dominator Pro comes with a 5-fin setup allowing for multiple configurations:

• Thruster setup (recommended by many team riders for all-around performance)
• Quad setup (preferred by designer Dan Mann for maximum speed and drive)

For optimal performance, pair with the Firewire Velox Fin Set, which complements the board's design characteristics perfectly.

Why Choose This Firewire Dominator Pro:

1. It bridges the gap between forgiving all-rounders and pure performance shortboards
2. The subtle hip in the tail and round-ish squash tail provide the perfect balance of release and hold
3. More pulled-in outline and refined volume distribution offer increased responsiveness compared to the Dominator 2.0
4. Designed by legendary shaper Dan Mann based on years of rider feedback

What is Firewire Surfboards' Helium Technology?

“Helium is light and lively, and great for generating speed in weak waves. LFT is still light, but a little more drivey and solid, and great for controlling speed in better waves.” - Rob Machado

Helium technology in surfboard construction is a proprietary method developed by Firewire Surfboards that utilizes a unique foam core. 

Helium surfboards offer a remarkable combination of lightweight design, durability, and enhanced performance, making them an excellent choice for surfers of all skill levels. The lightweight construction allows for superior maneuverability on the water, significantly improving agility and performance during rides. Despite their reduced weight, Helium technology does not compromise on durability; these boards are built to withstand the rigors of surfing, including impacts and abrasions, ensuring they remain reliable over time.

Additionally, the advanced materials used in Helium surfboards contribute to improved performance across various wave conditions, with many surfers noting better speed and responsiveness. Firewire's commitment to sustainability is also a key advantage, as Helium technology incorporates eco-friendly materials that are less harmful to the environment compared to traditional surfboard manufacturing processes. 

Benefits of Helium Surfboards

• Lightweight Construction: Helium surfboards utilize a stringerless 1.0 lb EPS foam core, making them significantly lighter than traditional surfboards. This lightweight design enhances maneuverability and reduces fatigue during long sessions.
• Responsive Flex: The use of Paulownia and Balsa wood rails allows for controlled flex throughout the board. This results in a lively and responsive feel underfoot, enabling surfers to execute tighter turns and maneuvers with ease.
• Enhanced Speed: Helium technology is specifically designed to generate speed in everyday waves. The lightweight nature of the boards allows for quick acceleration, making them ideal for weaker wave conditions where speed is essential.
• Durability: The proprietary 3mm aerospace composite deck skin contributes to the board's durability. It has a memory that allows it to rebound back to its original shape after being compressed, ensuring long-lasting performance and a pristine deck surface.
• Performance in Varied Conditions: Helium surfboards are engineered to perform well in a range of surf conditions, from small, mushy waves to more powerful surf. Their design allows for stability and control, making them versatile for different surfing styles.
• Eco-Friendly Materials: Firewire is committed to sustainability, and Helium technology incorporates more environmentally friendly materials compared to traditional surfboard construction methods, appealing to eco-conscious surfers.
• Reduced Damage: The construction of Helium boards minimizes the typical wear and tear associated with surfboards. Users have reported less damage to the deck surface, even after extensive use, which enhances the longevity of the board.
• Professional Endorsements: Many professional surfers, including Kelly Slater, have endorsed Helium surfboards, highlighting their performance and reliability in competitive settings.
