Das Shape:

Das Mashup von Firewire ist aus dem gebündelten Wissen der beiden Shaperikonen Dan Mann und Rob Machado entstanden. Als Inspiration haben dem Mashup zwei bereits etablierte Boards gedient, das Spitfire (Performance Hybrid von Dan Mann) und das Seaside (Quad Fish von Rob Machado). Zwei unterschiedliche Shaper-Stile wurden hier erfolgreich auf einen gemeinsamen Nenner gebracht. Das Spitfire bringt die Performance mit, während das Seaside auch in schwächeren Konditionen sehr viel Speed generiert. Ein Step Deck im Tail in Kombination mit einem Domed Deck und scharfen Rails ermöglicht performance-orientiertes Surfen, auch bei großzügig gewählten Volumen. Das tiefe Double Concave macht das Mashup schnell und ermöglicht eine einfache Rail to Rail Transition. Durch das kleine Swallow Tail wird das Board nicht zu loose und bekommt Bite in der Welle. Eine kontinuierlich runde Outline lässt die Turns von Mashup sehr smooth werden und der für einen Groveler relativ stark ausgeprägte Nose Flip verhindert Nose Dives auch in steileren Wellen. Das 5 Finnen Set Up ermöglicht diverse Optionen das Board zu surfen. Surfer:innen, die das looses, agiles Surfen bevorzugen sind mit einem 2+1 Setup bestens bedient. Für vertikale Turns in steileren Wellen ist ein Thruster Setup zu empfehlen. Mit einem Quad Fin Set hingegen wird das Surfboard besonders schnell down the line und bekommt viel Grip auf dem Rail.

SurferInnen und Bedingungen:

Großzügig dimensioniert ist das Firewire-Board auch für Intermediate SurferInnen oder sogar als erstes Shortboard zu gebrauchen. Je weiter man mit dem Volumen runter geht, desto spürbarer wird der Performance Einfluss vom Spitfire. Wer eine Allzweckwaffe für den europäischen Sommer braucht, ist mit dem Firewire Mashup bestens aufgestellt. Das Board fühlt sich in hüft- bis kopfhohen Wellen am wohlsten, fortgeschrittene SurferInnen können mit dem Mashup aber sowohl in kleineren als auch größeren Wellen noch gut arbeiten.

Alternativen:

Das Firewire Seaside ist eine Alternative, die interessant wird, wenn Dein Fokus eher auf schwächeren Wellen liegt. Falls Dir in der Kollaboration von Dan Mann und Rob Machado nicht genug Shortboard enthalten ist, schau dir doch mal das CI Rocket Wide oder den Firewire Dominator II an. Der RNF 96 von Lost hat einen sehr ähnlichen Einsatzbereich wie das Mashup, ist aber auf Twin Fin (oder 2+1) Setup spezialisiert.

Bauweise:

Helium ist als Nachfolger der FST Bauweise Firewire's leichteste Technologie mit einem sehr dynamischen Flex Verhalten. Das Prinzip ist das gleiche wie bei der FST und Timbertek Bauweise, nur werden leichtere Materialien verwendet und anstelle des Holzfurniers eine dünne Hartschaumplatte aus der Raumfahrt verarbeitet. Ein stringerloser, extrem leichter Kern wird von einem Pauwlonia/Balsa Rahmen in Form parabolischer Rails eingerahmt und mit einer extrem robusten und leichten Kunststoff/Epoxy Sandwich Schicht geglast.
Helium eignet sich durch sein leichtes Gewicht und sein lebhaftes Flex Verhalten sehr gut für Shortboard-, Hybrid-, Fish- und auch Midlength-Shapes. Die hohe Widerstandsfähigkeit macht Helium Boards genau wie Timbertek Boards zu idealen Reise Surfboards, die weniger empfindlich und dinganfälig als klassische PU Boards sind.
2026 hat die Bauweise einen Facelift bekommen. Außer Design bleibt aber alles beim Alten!

Life-saver for hands in pain
Size: 5.1 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This is my favorite hand cream. We're in PA and I keep a tube of this by the kitchen sink, in my bedroom, the bathroom, and in my car. I use it all the time and it saves my hands. I discovered it by chance at a store one time and I've tried many products (used to work in Healthcare so was constantly hand-washing). I like O'Keefe's Working Hands all right, and Gold Bond healing hand cream used to be my favorite, but this replaces both. It's so helpful for my 5 year old, too, whose hands get super dry and cracked if we don't keep up with this. It's great stuff. Ever since I discovered it, I haven't been able to find it in stores again. It's always out of stock, so I guess others have figured it out as well!

Holy Grail Moisturizer for Rosacea
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-3.3 Fl Oz
In seeing so many negative reviews I felt compelled to weigh in as this is my favorite moisturizer. I have very dry, menopausal skin. Additionally, I have rosacea which seems to have been a nice gift from said menopause (you can only laugh, right?). It's very common for those of us in our 50's to have a compromised skin barrier and when an issue like rosacea is present, even more so. Because of all this my skin is very intolerant to most moisturizers and nearly all actives (over the last few years I've had to discontinue my retinols and chemical exfoliators). While ingredients like ALA's, petrolatum, mineral oil, parafin/bees wax, and lanolin are well tolerated and known to be quite soothing, they don't hydrate very well as they are more occlusive than moisturizing. Enter this product. Magically, it does both! It's marketed as a protective cream, which again implies occlusive, but it penetrates like no other. Gone is the tight, dry feeling that persisted even when I had a heavy layer of product on my skin (my previous moisturizer was Eucerin Original Healing Cream -- which still has its uses -- because it was the only thing I could put on my skin outside of squalane oil during a flare). Now, no topical can cure rosacea. However, the right product can calm the skin, repair the damaged lipid barrier, and improve its appearance. This moisturizer does just that and it's become my holy grail. Since starting this I've also added in the Cicalfate Serum which has only aided in repairing my skin. Another Avene product that works great for me is the XeraCalm Balm which helps with itching. I use all three of these daily and they've really helped fix the secondary issues that come with rosacea. As for the complaints about it being greasy or too heavy. I can see this not working for people with normal or oily skin (or perhaps only in moderation). But my skin loves the heavier weight and because one of the ways I soothe a flare is to keep a tiny mister bottle on hand and repeatedly spray my face so I have to guard against the drying effects of evaporation. These products are so lipid heavy that I can wet my face all day long without worrying about that, though I do reapply throughout the day. As for the watery consistency issue, I haven't had that problem but it does caution on the packaging not to expose the product to temperatures below 41 degrees F (5 C). I suspect that if it gets too cold either because of the weather or because of whatever warehouse it sat in during transit it will separate. Maybe open the package and before squeezing some out look to see if it has split and then shake it up/message the tube. So, if you have skin like mine don't hesitate to try this product. I'm leaving this absurdly long review for my struggling brothers and sisters out there with rosacea in hopes that it provides some relief! Happy moisturizing, internet strangers. ;)
