condition: excellent
make / manufacturer: Firewire
model name / number: Flat Earth
Lightly used Akila / Slater Designs Flat Earth in Firewire construction. FCS2 fins (I'll sell the fins for an extra $90 if you want them).
5'10" x 20" x 2 3/4 33.4L

Great board, feels very fast and fishy feeling but holds in the pocket like a more conventional rounded pin performance board. I actually have 3 of these in different sizes and this one is just a little too big for me.

No dings aside from a small repair on the nose that looks pretty good.

I don't live in the bay but will be around from Sep 15-19 if you'd like to grab the board.

Model Details
"Akila flat earth" refers to the Slater Designs Flat Earth surfboard, a high-performance board designed by Akila Aipa in collaboration with Kelly Slater. It is a versatile model that functions well as a twin fin for a loose, skatey feel or with a twin fin and a small trailer for added stability. The board is known for its speed, smooth turns, and ability to perform in a range of wave conditions, from small to head-high.
Key Features
Twin Fin or Twin Plus Trailer Setup
: The board is versatile and can be ridden as a pure twin fin for a loose, skatey feel or with a small trailer fin for increased stability.
Design and Shape
: It features a medium rocker for late takeoffs, a pulled-in tail with a small wing for quick release, and a design that prioritizes finesse and flow over raw power.
Versatility
: The Flat Earth is designed to be user-friendly, suitable for surfers transitioning from mid-lengths to shortboards, and can perform well in various wave conditions.
Construction
: The surfboard is constructed using Firewire's LFT technology, which provides durability and a lively, responsive feel.
