FIREWIRE VELOX | 5-FIN RAKE SET FUTURES SYSTEM

Firewire Velox Fins: the rake template that brings every Firewire board to life

The 5-fin Velox set is the performance foundation designed to work with any Firewire board, from the Sweet Potato to the Dominator 2.0 or the Mashup. Instant fun, consistent drive, and an ultralight construction endorsed by shapers like Rob Machado, Dan Mann, and Daniel "Tomo" Thomson.

WHY THIS FIN SET MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The Velox is a rake template built for down-the-line drive and controlled turns. It performs exceptionally well on open wave faces and long lines, from knee-high waves to those well overhead. Its beveled leading edge causes an immediate disruption of water flow, which translates into a superior feeling of stability in any maneuver. With a generous rake in its outline, it is a forgiving fin that is easy to surf across a wide variety of shapes.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Rake template — the reference design for the entire Firewire range, intended for down-the-line drive and controlled turns.
• Beveled leading edge — breaks up water flow immediately, providing greater stability in every maneuver.
• High-density polymer core with carbon veils — a combination of flex and resistance that allows for controlled rebound in turns and more control than other construction methods.
• Ultralight construction — adds minimal weight to the board, a performance benefit endorsed by Kevin Schulz and other Firewire team riders.
• Single Tab system, compatible with Futures — direct and secure installation in Futures fin boxes.
• Available in 3 or 5-fin sets — set it up as a thruster (3-fin set) or thruster/quad (5-fin set).
• Medium and Large sizes — cover the range of volumes and weights typical of the Firewire range.

ADVICE FROM OUR EXPERTS

If your Firewire board didn't come with fins from the factory or you want to try something different from what you're currently riding, the Velox is the safest bet: it's the benchmark template the brand designed to work well across its entire range, so it rarely disappoints. For bigger wave days, go up to a Large; for your day-to-day, a Medium is usually sufficient.

FIREWIRE WARRANTY — THE FUTURE UNDER YOUR FEET

Firewire’s origins date back to 1981, when Australian shaper Nev Hyman began experimenting with new constructions at his brand, NEV Surfboards, in Western Australia. That research led to the birth of Firewire Surfboards in 2006, with the mission of improving the surfing experience through high-performance products manufactured with the lowest possible environmental impact.

Firewire has been a pioneer in sustainable construction within surfing, with boards certified by the EcoBoard program, and features a team of benchmark shapers and riders like Rob Machado, Dan Mann, and Daniel "Tomo" Thomson. Under the motto The Future Under Your Feet, every product from the brand — from board to fin — is designed seeking the balance between performance and environmental responsibility.

USE AND CARE

• Insert each fin into its Futures box, ensuring it is fully seated before tightening the screw.
• Tighten with the Futures key firmly but without forcing it, to avoid damaging the fin box threading.
• Check the fit before each session, especially after the first few uses.
• Rinse the fins with fresh water after each session to remove salt and sand.
• Let them dry in the shade; heat and prolonged direct sun exposure can deform the foil.
• Store the set in a fin case or similar to avoid damage during transport.
• Avoid contact with rocks or hard bottoms, which can chip the leading edge.
