The Firewire Special T is a high-performance longboard designed by Dan Mann and three-time world longboard champion Tyler Jensen. It aims to bridge the gap between traditional longboarding and modern performance, offering a responsive and versatile ride. The board features a flatter rocker and a rounded pin tail for stability and trim, complemented by a wide nose for nose-riding capabilities. Its Timber Tech construction with an EPS core and paulownia wood rails provides durability and a lively feel. The Special T excels in a variety of conditions, from smaller beach breaks to more critical waves, offering a good balance of glide, speed, and maneuverability. It's well-suited for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a board that can handle both traditional longboard styles and more dynamic maneuvers. Pros include its versatility, responsiveness, and durable construction. Cons might be its higher price point and potentially less traditional feel for purists. The reviewer highlights its well-thought-out bottom contours, including nose concave, flatter middle, and slight V with channels in the tail, contributing to its lively performance. It's considered a great all-arounder, capable of almost anything if you're looking for a single board quiver that blends performance with a classic aesthetic.
