The Firewire TJ Hull Rider 9'6 is the larger expression of Taylor Jensen and Dan Mann's hull longboard design — offering more volume, more glide, and more wave-catching ease in the same innovative hull package. At 9'6 and 80.6 liters, this board is built for surfers who want effortless paddling and a supremely connected, flowing feel in small-to-moderate surf. The hull bottom's convex design creates a unique rail-to-rail ease that transforms how you interact with the wave face — every trim feels fluid, every turn feels natural.

• Hull Bottom: Moderate convex hull bottom delivers an unmatched connection to the wave — fluid, easy rail-to-rail transitions impossible to replicate with a concave or flat bottom design.
• Nose: Fuller nose outline with tear-drop concave cutout for reduced weight, increased maneuverability, and enhanced lift for noseriding and cross-stepping across the deck.
• Tail: Rounded pintail for smooth, stable trimming; flatter entry rocker with gentle tail rocker for effortless wave catching and comfortable directional control.
• Volume: 80.6 liters at 9'6 — maximum longboard volume in Helium construction for outstanding paddle power and wave catching across all skill levels.
• Construction: Firewire Helium — lightweight EPS/epoxy construction for a more buoyant, responsive, and durable board than traditional PU longboards of similar dimensions.
• Ideal For: Heavier surfers, longboard beginners, or experienced surfers seeking maximum glide and wave-catching ability in a hull shape. Works best in ankle-high to shoulder-high conditions with open, slower wave faces.

Sizing: The 9'6 / 80.6L suits surfers from approximately 160–230 lbs, or any surfer wanting maximum glide and paddle ease. The 9'0 at 71.5L offers a slightly more maneuverable option for lighter or more experienced longboarders.

Care: Rinse with fresh water after every session. Protect epoxy from impacts and prolonged sun exposure. Store in a board bag when not in use to preserve the Helium construction over time.
