Anointment of the Firewire Revo Max - 11/21/2024

After finishing the repairs on Harris's wingboard and getting a package to the post office, I took the Revo Max over to the beach.

There were waist high breaking waves so I decided to get the new board wet!!!

I don't know where the sand is going or why it is leaving... it's winter on the South Shore and the sand is supposed to be migrating to the beach...


I caught a couple of handful of waves - and I had several really good rides.  This board is definitely a keeper!!!!

Catches the waves it should easily.  Turns really nicely.  Grovels across flat sections well.  All in this board is really fun.  I'll have to do some back to back testing with the Sweet Potato to see which board is better in what conditions - but I can see these two boards being the backbone of my surfing.


The more I rode this board, the more it reminded me of the 6'4" thrusters I used to ride as my daily drivers back in the late 90's - so this board felt instantly familiar.

If this board can ride the shitty waves that were coming in today, it will pay back every penny and more that I paid for it.
