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

The Mindcraft was built for surfers who want a faster, more direct connection between their movement and the board's response.

• The intermediate to advanced surfer who wants a high-performance shape that doesn't punish them for imperfect technique
• The shortboarder who feels like they're constantly fighting for speed on average days and wants a board that generates momentum on its own
• The surfer ready to try something outside a traditional outline — open to a different feel in exchange for more drive and flow
• The experienced surfer looking for a dedicated daily driver that's effortless in everyday surf but can still handle itself when conditions improve
• The data-driven buyer who wants the credibility of two of surfing's most innovative minds behind their equipment choice

This board rewards surfers who stay centered, trust the speed, and let the shape do the work.

The Mindcraft was designed for the conditions most surfers actually surf most of the time — waist-high to just overhead, with anything from soft and gutless to punchy and well-defined. Its moderate rocker fits comfortably into the curve of a smaller wave without bogging, while its width and parallel outline keep it generating speed across flatter sections where other performance boards lose momentum. When conditions step up to head-high and solid, the bumpwing round tail and low-profile rails keep it in control without changing how it surfs. Hawaii's varied ocean setups — from inconsistent beach break days to cleaner reef surf — sit squarely in this board's wheelhouse.

The Mindcraft starts with Tomo's signature parallel outline — wider and more consistent from nose to tail than a standard shortboard — which hides a lot of volume in the center of the board while keeping the rails low and thin. The torpedo nose shortens swing weight dramatically, making the board quick to redirect without the nose getting in the way. Kelly's contribution was the bumpwing round tail: the bump breaks up the rail line just ahead of the fins, creating a release point that allows tight pivots while the round tail delivers smooth, continuous drive out of turns. Bottom contours are deliberately simpler than most Tomo designs — a single concave transitioning to a slight double through the tail — keeping the board engaged and lively without being twitchy or demanding.

In Ibolic 2.0 construction, the Mindcraft has the stiff, controlled response you'd expect from an I-beam EPS core, with an added carbon strip inlay on the bottom deck for increased strength and snap. The fiberglass lamination and bio resin give it a flex pattern that feels familiar underfoot — predictable and direct — without the floaty feel sometimes associated with lighter epoxy builds. It's a board that rewards commitment: the more directly you surf it, the faster and more responsive it becomes.

Ibolic 2.0: I-beam EPS core with high-density foam rails for controlled flex, fiberglass lamination, and a carbon strip inlay on the bottom deck for added strength and response. Firewire's updated version of their I-beam construction — stiffer and more responsive than standard fiberglass epoxy builds, with a predictable traditional flex feel.
