SCI-FI 2.0

The Firewire Sci-Fi 2.0 is a high-performance shortboard designed by Daniel "Tomo" Thomson in collaboration with Kelly Slater, built around Tomo's signature Double Bat Tail and Quad Inside Single Concave bottom contour. It's the board that made Stuart Kennedy look like he was surfing in a different dimension at Snapper Rocks and it's been one of the most talked-about shortboard designs on the market ever since.

WHO

The Sci-Fi 2.0 is built for surfers who want a high-performance shortboard that generates speed without demanding perfect conditions to do it.

  • The experienced shortboarder who wants a board that's fast and responsive without sacrificing range — from weak, smaller surf to solid overhead days
  • The performance surfer ready to try Tomo's Modern Planing Hull approach and see what the bat tail does on their backhand and forehand turns
  • The surfer who's been riding a traditional shortboard and wants a board that rewards commitment in the pocket without losing control at speed
  • The intermediate-to-advanced surfer looking for a board that gives them a noticeable performance step-up across a wide range of conditions
  • The surfer who wants to ride shorter — the Sci-Fi 2.0 is designed to be ridden shorter than your standard shortboard, making the step down feel immediate and accessible

This board rewards surfers who push hard and want a board that pushes back with speed and grip.

WHEN

The Sci-Fi 2.0 is built for a wide range of conditions — from flat-faced, waist-high surf where it grovels with ease and generates speed other shortboards can't find, up through solid overhead days where the wide bat tail controls speed beyond what its outline suggests it should. The Quad Inside Single Concave bottom gives it real grip and drive on the face in powerful surf, while the extra width and volume make it accessible and fun when the waves are weak and inconsistent. It's at its best in average to good conditions — the kind of mixed-bag days that make up most surfers' time in the water — where its combination of paddle power, down-the-line speed, and precise tail control make it genuinely effortless to surf across a wide range of situations.

WHAT

The Sci-Fi 2.0 starts with Tomo's Double Bat Tail — a wide, wing-notched tail design that provides exceptional speed control for how much tail area the board carries. The wide point has been moved forward compared to the original Sci-Fi, making the board looser and more responsive from rail to rail and adding paddle volume where surfers feel it most. The tail is pulled in slightly from the original, which gives the 2.0 more hold in overhead surf without losing the skatey, electric feel the design is known for. The Quad Inside Single Concave bottom contour is the performance engine: deep quad channels run out the back of the board creating real grip and hold in pivot turns, while the overarching single concave through the nose allows the board to plane efficiently on the rails. The channels on the 2.0 extend further up the board than the original, pushing the feel of the concaves into more of the ride.
