Firewire MASHUP 5-Fin (5'2-6'6) Helium 2 Futures

The Mashup is for surfers who want one board that works when the waves don't — and still delivers when they do.

• The intermediate surfer who's outgrown their fish but doesn't always have the power to push a standard shortboard
• The experienced surfer looking for a dedicated small-wave board that can still handle a good day
• The shortboarder who wants to stay loose and keep surfing without switching boards between sessions
• The surfer who rides the Seaside and wants more performance range out of a similar shape
• The everyday surfer who needs something versatile enough to grab without checking the forecast

This board rewards surfers who prioritize feel and flow over raw performance in critical conditions.

The Mashup is built for the everyday — inconsistent, weaker surf where most shortboards go flat. Its generous volume distribution and hybrid outline generate speed early and carry it through soft sections that would stall a higher-performance shape. When conditions pick up to head-high and punchy, the step rails, swallow tail, and double concave bottom give it enough drive and control to hold its line and turn with intention. It's not a step-up, but it handles far more than its groveler label suggests. Hawaii's average day — the kind of surf that comes around more than the good stuff — is exactly where the Mashup earns its place.

The Mashup borrows its nose from the Spitfire and its tail from the Seaside, then builds a hybrid rail line that lets those two halves work together. The wide point sits slightly forward of center, giving the board excellent paddle power up front. Step rails in the back third of the board pack in extra volume where you need it without making the outline feel bloated. The double concave runs throughout the bottom and becomes more pronounced from the center to the tail — generating speed early and translating it into responsiveness off the back foot. The swallow tail keeps the back end loose and maneuverable, letting the board pivot and redirect without needing big wave power to do it.

In Helium, the Mashup is light and lively — the parabolic wood rail system creates a loaded, spring-back flex that helps the board come alive in soft, slower surf. In Volcanic, that same core gets basalt fiber lamination, adding stiffness and impact resistance for surfers who prioritize durability without sacrificing too much of that Helium responsiveness.

Helium: Firewire's lightest EPS core construction — stringerless foam with parabolic Paulownia and Balsa wood rails running the full length of the board, combined with a proprietary composite deck skin. Built for maximum speed generation and lively flex response in everyday surf.

Volcanic: Helium core with basalt fiber lamination in place of standard fiberglass. Basalt is a natural, volcanic rock-derived material with carbon-like strength

5-Fin. Rides as thruster, quad, or twin. Fins not included.
