Firewire – Dominator Pro 2026

Design
This is the shortboard that fans of the Dominator have been asking Dan Mann to build for years, designed to go toe to toe with your favorite performance shortboard. The all-new Dominator Pro shape is designed for surfers who have either progressed their skill set and want a more performance version of the Dominator 2.0, or just want a more refined version of the Dominator 2.0 for surf trips, or good days at home.

Shape
The Dominator Pro is an evolution of the Dominator 2.0, with a lot of similarities including the subtle hip in the tail and round-ish squash tail, but it’s outline is more pulled in, volume more refined, and less forgiving than the 2.0 and offering more on the performance side (but not quite that of Dan’s FRK). The rocker on the Dominator Pro is true to the style of rocker on the original Dominator, but with a moderate increase in curve from nose to tail.The bottom contour’s concave configuration is a near match of the Dominator 2.0’s concave, with slightly more single concave under the front foot in the Dominator Pro, flowing into a double barrel concave through the fins that transitions to a vee out the tip of the tail. It’s for really good surfers or good surfers who want to up their game or want a bit of forgiveness compared to a pure performance shape.​

Sizing
Advanced surfers will want to ride this board about 0-2 inches below their height. A more intermediate level surfer will want to stick to something around their height, up to 2 inches longer. Have an eye on your volume and add a extra Liter for the north sea.

Comes with 5-fin option, so enough room to test.
