NEUTRINO
The Firewire Neutrino is Daniel Thomson's (Tomo) latest Modern Planing Hull design — a compact, parallel-railed performance board that generates speed and drive in the kinds of everyday, lower-energy surf that would have most boards sliding around with nothing to work with. It is fast, responsive, and distinctly Tomo.
WHO
The Neutrino is built for surfers who want a board that works — and works hard — on the days that make up most of a surfing life.
- The performance surfer who wants something genuinely snappy for the small, forgettable sessions in between the good ones
- The intermediate surfer who's ready to trade up from a traditional groveler and wants more drive and projection out of a shorter package
- The experienced shortboarder looking for a dedicated small-wave board that still rewards committed surfing
- The surfer who's been sizing up out of habit and wants to stop fighting their board and start letting it move
This board rewards surfers who get low, commit to the rail, and let the design do the work.
WHEN
The Neutrino was built for the conditions that make up the bulk of actual surfing — small, inconsistent, and often lacking power. Its wide parallel outline and low-drag chop tail generate speed from the moment you're on your feet, carrying you through sections where most boards would stall. When waves have more size and push, the board's drive and rail line keep it in control well into overhead surf. It performs across a wide range from waist-high to double overhead, but its character comes alive when the energy is low and the challenge is creating speed, not managing it.
WHAT
The Neutrino's outline is built around Tomo's ultra-parallel rail line — rails that run nearly straight from nose to tail, holding their width far longer than any conventional shortboard. That outline lets the board be ridden shorter than your instinct suggests while retaining a full, functional rail line for drive and control. The wide nose provides paddle power and wave-catching ease without adding swing weight, and the straight chop tail — one of the lowest-drag tail designs available — releases water cleanly off both edges simultaneously, translating into immediate speed and tight, slingshot-style turns. The bottom runs a quad-inside-single-concave, a Tomo signature that creates lift through each concave channel and drives the board across the surface with less drag and more speed.
In Ibolic 2.0, the Neutrino is built on an I-beam high-density foam core with parabolic rail springers and a fully engineered carbon strip inlay on the bottom deck for added strength. The result is a board that is stiffer, livelier, and more responsive than a standard epoxy build — quick off the bottom, fast through flat sections, and precise when you put it on the rail.

TOMO NEUTRINO FAQS
What makes the Neutrino different from other grovelers?
Unlike typical grovelers that are wide in the center with pulled-in tails, the Neutrino maintains parallel rails throughout with a central wide point similar to a high-performance shortboard. As Tomo explains, "You're getting drive and projection, whereas a normal groveler might be really wide and have efficient surface area, but they just really lack drive. They're real squiggly, wiggly kind of little boards." This gives you the speed of a groveler but with significantly more drive - you'll "be able to project your turn" even in a two-foot wave.
What wave conditions is the Neutrino best for?
The Neutrino is specifically optimized for when "wave energy is lacking" - those everyday, less-than-perfect wave conditions that make up about 80% of surf sessions. According to Tomo, it's perfect for days when "you've missed the magic window, or the tide's a bit higher," situations with "super high tide and kind of mushy" waves. It allows you to "blast through the flat sections and still have the speed to wrap it right back to the pocket" when wave shapes are lacking.
Does the wide square tail slide out in turns?
No, despite what you might expect from the distinctive wide tail design. Hawaiian South Shore team rider Macy confirmed that during big roundhouse cutbacks, the board "just slingshots him back" and picks up speed through turns. Even on overhead days, the board doesn't slide out, thanks to the straight rail lines and unique bottom contour design.
What fin setup works best with the Neutrino?
Tomo designed the Neutrino as a thruster (tri-fin) to provide control with the board's natural speed. He specifically recommends the Firewire Blackstix fin template, saying it "goes as good as any other fin with that board." For extremely weak and mushy conditions, he suggests trying Kelly Slater's Endorphin 2+1 setup with the larger center fin: "When it's super weak and mushy, you throw a two plus one in there and you'll be just flying."
What is the "quad inside single concave" bottom design?
It's a four concave contour within a single concave that provides extra lift and speed when wave energy is weak. Tomo explains this "basically gives you little concave surfaces within the concave itself" which "helps give the board extra lift and speed when the energy in the wave is weak." The bottom contours start forward and deepen toward the tail, helping to maximize the little energy available in less powerful waves.
Who is the Neutrino designed for? What skill level?
According to Tomo, the Neutrino is suitable for "just about anyone." The width of the tail and rectangular shape make it well-suited for beginners to intermediates, who should size up a bit to match their fitness and wave-reading ability. For experienced performance surfers, Tomo recommends sizing down: "For a good performance surfer, you can size it to about the tip of your nose or the bridge of your nose." The board's stability makes it suitable for all skill levels when sized appropriately.
How does the Neutrino paddle and catch waves?
The Neutrino's design makes wave entry exceptionally easy. Tomo explains: "It's all about just maximizing your functional surface area into a smaller package. So you've got more foam from the tip of the tail to the tip of the nose, you've got the width in both areas." This creates a stable, balanced platform for paddling, with the width in the tail picking up the wave's energy and the width in the nose allowing you to paddle quite forward on the board.
