Firewire – Spun Honey

Design
The Spun Honey is a groveler that’s all about pushing performance, so it’s meant for small, weak, gutless waves. That said, our team has been pushing it in head-high to overhead, hollow conditions and it’s been holding and working well. Whether you’re groveling gutless waves, threading shorebreak barrels, or launching into air sections, the Spun Honey is the shape you’ll want to keep in your trunk to have fun in any conditions.

Shape
The Spun Honey is based on Dan’s popular Spitfire model, with modern updates tuned for today’s most explosive surfers. It’s a short, compact groveler with the wide point a touch towards the tail from center but further forward to the nose than the Sweet Potato, and a slightly more pulled in outline than the Sweet Potato. Featuring a bullet nose and diamond tail, with a similar curve to the Baked Potato. Because the tail is such a wide planning area, Dan’s idea to have a singular point off the tail be a fulcrum, so that when you tip it over the tail directs water off the singular point instead of making the tail too slidey. The rails are nice and sensitive like a high-performance shape, but the step in the rails hides or masks a lot of extra volume in the center with its flat deck. There’s also lots of foam under the chest via the step in the rails, but not too much so the board still turns over well in the pocket.

Sizing
Advanced surfers will want to ride this board as much as 3-6 inches below their height. A more intermediate level surfer will want to stick to something a little below their height. Have an eye on your volume and add some extra Volume for weaker waves as in the north sea, the lower rail will still allow sharp turns.

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