Firewire Evo Helium 5'6
The Evo is the pinnacle of Daniel Thomson’s Modern Planing Hull designs, shaped into accessible dimensions and fit for surfers from beginner to advanced. It was this shape in 2014 that began Daniel’s path towards refining his Quad Inside Single Concave - a design principle that has since pollinated across every shape he designs, while the Evo continues to maintain its position as one of the most easy to surf shapes on earth. This model was first released in LFT in 2014. And there it stayed until this year when we made it available in Timbertek for the first time. We’ve since learned that the Timbertek version is often a favorite among many who prefer quick thrust towards the shoulder and big hacks on rail, while the LFT version has been favored by those with a more up and down approach in the pocket and in the lip Learn More$870.00 -
Firewire Machado Seaside 5'9
The Go Fish goes fast and feels skatey and loose and I love it, and riding it for a couple years made me want to feel more high performance – more carves, tighter turns. So the Seaside is about refining… less area in the tail, narrowing the tips of the swallow, creating more curve and narrowing the nose. All elements for ripping while the Go Fish stays cruisey and fun. Learn More$875.00 -
Firewire Mash UP 6'0 Futures 5 fin Helium Construction
Rob Machado and Dan Mann have created the Mashup: A melding of each of their most popular designs; the Seaside and the Spitfire. Both board designers have spent time mixing and matching their favorite elements of each shape, and they’ve landed at something that goes fast in weak waves as well as a Seaside, and also drives vertically in good waves as well as the Spitfire.

Shortboards
The shortboard: the ultimate stick to wapaaahh. This type of surfboard grew popular around the late 1960's due to its speedy design and shredability, and these days, the surf community generally regards a shortboard as high-performance, i.e. a board that rips on almost any kind of wave. The term "shortboard" classifies any board under 6'6, but despite the length restriction, the variety of designs is limitless. These nimble boards come in various tail shapes – fish tail, squash tail, round tail, swallow tail – as well as fin setups like thruster, quad, twin, and 5-fin. At Gorge Performance, you'll find shortboards the pros ride (see the CI Fred Rubble and Lost Sub Driver) as well as local favorites like the Lib Tech RNF. We carry new performance shortboard brands like Channel Islands, Lost, Haydenshapes, Firewire, and Pyzel, and if you wander through our consignment section, you'll typically find it overflowing with affordable used shortboards. So whether you're looking for step-up or ready to step into shortboarding as a beginner, we're happy to help you find the board you need.
