Firewire Mindcraft Ibolic 2.0 (5'4 - 6'4)

Firewire Mindcraft I-Bolic 2.0 — Tomo x Kelly Slater Collaboration

Key Advantages

🏄 Ride Shorter, Paddle Better — The parallel outline packs generous volume into a compact shape, allowing you to ride 2-4 inches shorter than your standard shortboard without sacrificing paddle power.

⚡ Front-Foot Friendly Design — Unlike traditional high-performance shortboards that demand constant back-foot engagement, the Mindcraft allows for more relaxed, front-footed surfing with speed and flow.

🎯 Versatile 5-Fin Setup — Comes with five fin boxes so you can ride it as a thruster for control or quad for speed, adapting to conditions and your personal style.

🌊 Daily Driver Sweet Spot — Built for the 2-6 foot surf range that most surfers encounter regularly, excelling from small and gutless waves to quality surf with push.

The Tomo x Kelly Slater Design

The Mindcraft represents the first collaboration between shaper Daniel Thomson (Tomo) and 11-time world champion Kelly Slater in several years. This board challenges conventional shortboard design while remaining remarkably approachable.

Torpedo Nose: The elliptical, bullet-shaped nose shortens swing weight for quicker direction changes while maximizing functional area within a compact length.

Bump Wing Round Tail: Kelly Slater's contribution — the bump breaks up the rail line and provides a release point right behind the front fins, allowing for tight pivots while the round tail delivers smooth, flowing feel.

Parallel Outline: Tomo's signature approach distributes volume throughout the board and maximizes planing surface.

Bottom Contours: Simple single concave to slight double through the tail — designed to keep the board engaged with the wave face while offering lively response.

"It's basically just an alternative high-performance shortboard... a very user friendly design." — Tomo

Sizing Reference: Tomo rides a 5'7" at approximately 28 liters, weighing 160 lbs (75 kg) at 5'8"-5'9" tall. Most surfers can ride 2-4 inches shorter than their standard shortboard.

Fin Setup Options

The Mindcraft comes with 5 fin boxes (fins sold separately), giving you flexibility to ride as a thruster or quad.

Thruster Setup: Tomo's personal preference — sinks the tail for more control in the lip

Quad Setup: More speed and flow when waves are weaker

Recommended Fins:

• All Conditions: Endorfins KSR Fin Set — versatile rake template
• Tighter Pocket Surfing: Endorfins KS1 Fin Set — pivot template
• Weaker Waves (Quad): KSR rears with matching fronts

"I've personally been leaning a bit more towards a thruster on this one. It just feels like it really sinks in that tail and you can get a lot more control in the lip." — Tomo
