FIREWIRE 7.2" SINGLE FIN | SINGLE FIN FOR MIDLENGTH AND LONGBOARD

One fin, two setups: the Firewire 7.2" Single Fin for midlengths and longboards that want more options

Not all fins offer you two conversations in one. The Firewire 7.2" Single Fin works alone—as a single center fin—and also in company, combined with 4" side bites in a 2+1 setup. The result is a template that adapts to your board, the wave, and what you want to do on it. If you have a Firewire midlength or longboard around 7 feet, this fin is the smartest answer on the market.

WHY THIS FIN MAKES A DIFFERENCE

The 7.2-inch template is designed to offer the perfect balance between the four pillars of longboard and midlength surfing, with the added advantage of being able to be configured in two different ways:

• Hold — Stability and confidence on the rail; the template offers enough hold to draw clean lines and execute precise trims on the wall.
• Drive — The base geometry generates speed on the drop without compromising the ability to turn from the pocket.
• Release — Allows you to release the tail naturally to look for pivots or changes of direction without losing the arc of the turn.
• Control — Predictable in a wide range of conditions, from small, soft waves to overhead sessions with an open face.
• Dual configuration — Use it as a single fin setup for more classic, fluid surfing, or combine it with 4" side bites in a 2+1 to add traction and maneuverability on the rail.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Size — 7.2 inches.
• Template — Versatile; suitable for single fin configuration and for 2+1 setup with 4" side bites.
• Box system — US Box (to be confirmed with distributor).
• Compatibility — All Firewire Surfboards longboard and midlength models.
• Size guide — Select the size in inches that most closely matches the length of your board in feet.
• Units — Individual fin (1 fin per unit; side bites not included).

EXPERT ADVICE

The 7.2" is the most versatile size in the entire Firewire Single Fin line, precisely because it opens the door to the 2+1 setup. If your board has side boxes, try the single fin configuration first to understand the character of the fin and how your shape responds; then add the side bites and feel the rail gain definition. It’s two boards in one, without changing anything other than the side accessories.

FIREWIRE WARRANTY — THE FUTURE UNDER YOUR FEET

Firewire Surfboards was born in 1981 in Western Australia under the name NEV Surfboards and evolved to become one of the most innovative brands in the global surf industry. Its philosophy combines high performance, maximum durability, and a real commitment to the environment.

Firewire holds the official EcoBoard label from Sustainable Surf for its six constructions: Helium, I-Bolic, TimberTek, Volcanic, ProFlex, and FST. The Volcanic technology incorporates basalt fibers extracted from volcanic rock, with performance similar to carbon fiber and a notably lower environmental impact. Its boards and accessories integrate recycled EPS foam, bio-resins, and sustainably sourced wood.

Firewire fins are templates specifically designed for their shapes by world-class shapers: Rob Machado, Dan Mann, and Daniel "Tomo" Thomson, among others. They are not generic fins; they are born from the same design process as the boards they are intended for.

Core Surfing Shop is an official distributor of Firewire Surfboards in Spain. All fins include the official manufacturer's warranty and direct after-sales service in Spanish.

USE AND CARE

• Insert the fin into the US Box and tighten the screw with the included key until firm, without over-tightening to avoid damaging the box.
• For the 2+1 setup, install the center fin first and then the side bites; ensure all three fixing points are equally firm.
• Check the center fin screw before each session; movement in the water can loosen it slightly.
• Rinse with fresh water after each session in the ocean to remove salt and sand from the box and the fin base.
• Store out of prolonged direct sunlight and extreme heat to preserve the integrity of the material.

SIZE GUIDE

The Firewire rule: choose the fin size in inches that most closely approximates the length of your board in feet. The 6", 6.5", and 7.2" sizes can be used in both single and 2+1 configurations with 4" side bites.
