Description

A re-release of the classic Sci-Fi designed by Daniel 'Tomo' Thomson in collaboration with Kelly Slater, newly updated in I-Bolic Technology from Slater Designs.


Tomo says, "the Sci-Fi has been such a popular design and stood the test of time because of its functionality. It's such an easy board to ride. It gives the user an effortless sense of control and performance that you wouldn't get in a traditional shortboard."


Capturing the essence of Daniel's Modern Planing Hull innovations over the prior decade, the Sci-Fi 2.0 can handle and hold in significantly sized waves up to double overhead, but it still grovels with ease of speed in flat faced waves under waist high.


Much of the magic in the Sci-FI 2.0 comes from Daniel's innovative approach to tail design and concave configuration, as the Sci-Fi 2.0 combines his original Double Bat Tail concept and his Quad Inside Single Concave.


The result is a board that controls speed uncommonly well for how wide its tail is, making the Sci-Fi 2.0 in I-Bolic Technology a quiver enhancement to anyone's board rack.

Wave Type

One of Tomo's most popular designs because of its functionality, this board feels effortless in waves from waist high up to double overhead. It still grovels with easy of speed in flat faced waves under waist high, with control and performance you wouldn't get in a traditional shortboard. Recommended in 2-6' surf, skewing towards average to good conditions.

Board Features

A re-release of the classic Sci-Fi featuring Tomo's unmistakable Double Bat Tail concept with his Quad Inside Single Concave bottom for incredible lift and speed. And with an uncommonly wide tail, the Double Bat Tail controls speed beyond expectations.

Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 10 reviews.

Spectacular board, even for us "old guys!"

"I'm 63 years old with two total knee replacements and did not want move to some clunker of a board with more volume but fat ugly rails. This board lit me up and made me feel like I was 20-year-old again. I ride the 6'1" with 37 Ltrs but it does not feel like a tank. . . it feels like a skateboard. Took it twice to Mainland Mex in good point break waves and it just flies! It also does great in punchy beach break at home too. It just feels good, and it's easy to surf. Thank you TOMO for helping an old man feel young again!"

Solid

"Great board but not overly impressed by any means. Solid addition to the quiver but not a top 3 board for me."

Great shape! Tomo”s shapes

"Great shape! Tomo”s shapes are amazing. Speed, control, hold, effort manoeuvrability. Everything he advertises. The FireWire construction not so great. This is my first FireWire board, and I must admit I’m completely disappointed. I’ve only had a couple of surfs on this board. I’m not sure if there was some mistake in the manufacturing process, but the bottom of the board is as fragile as egg shells. The deck seems solid and has held up well, not a pressure dent to be seen, as new. But the bottom if full of dents and dings. Unfortunately I won’t be buying another FireWire ever again."

Awesome board. Fast and

"Awesome board. Fast and very responsive, carries speed thru flat sections so well,, turns on the face of the wave so smooth, love it"

— Ashley C. (5/5)

I love this board,

"I love this board, I feel like I’m 18 again. Its got it all, Easier to catch waves, fastest board I have ever ridden, usually a wider board like this would skip out on larger wave s but the channels through the bat tail grip like it’s on rails. Both of my sons and 3 of my mates have bought them now just from watching me ride it. This is my 3rd board now. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻"
