2nd hand firewire

I dont have Keegs, but would like a second hand or new-
- 5'11 or 6'0 - mini driver firewire or lost - rock up or rusty - slayer, preferabley in futureflex but thats not likely, or epoxy.

Hi groundswell,

I don't have a board to sell but couldn't help but throw in my 2 cents worth re the Rusty Slayer.

I ordered a Slayer 5'11 in Futureflex - it was disappointing to surf. Paddled well, held it's line in critical sections but hated being on a rail. Turns weren't much fun on it.

I sold it and ended up with one of these

a 5'11" Shred Sled King in Futureflex. The board is awesome. Stoked I sold the Slayer and grabbed this instead.

I haven't actually seen one of the Lost Drivers or Rock Up's before but guys posting on US forums like them alot.

Happy surfboard hunting.

Didnt know haydenshapes did a step up version of the shred sled. Hard to find on the website ie its not under board models that I could see. I ended up ordering a hayden shapes 6'8" golden gun but with a bit more width, thickness and volume than standard. First surf on it today in fairly solid surf and it went well particularly on the hollow ones.

The Shred Sled King I ordered is way up in Volume on my normal dimensions but I was looking for something in the 29 to 30 litres area to get me into decent sized waves without lengthening my standard shortboard board much.

Basically trying to swap a 6'5 to 6'3 for a 5'11".

Dimensions on it are 5'11" by 19 by 2 7/16. The forward volume makes it a breeze to paddle.

Those Golden Gun model boards are great too.

thanks for that Scotty. those shred kings look insane. i might go the same dims as yours too!

I'm looking for a second hand firewire dominator but can't find any in my local board shops, on eBay or gum tree.

I'd like to buy 6'8-6'10 dominator.

If anybody could help me out would greatly appreciate it. I'm in vic and can arrange courier too. Cash ready too.

Thanks,

-keegs

Im not sure about that model, but ive seen a fair few FW,s come through the surf shops down here on the island

Full circle, normally have a good amount of second hand FW,s but to be honest there mostly overpriced because they take commission.

secondhand boards in Islands shops are generally better price, as they do a deal no commission you just have to spend the $ again in there shop(on anything new or second hand boards) hence prices are better as people aren't losing $ from high commissions (bloody smart move island) but they rarely have FW,s

BTW. Island cowes shop are now stocking Lost/mayhems in FW FST build..big thumbs up

Islantis sometimes have the od FW but i think they do commission too, it really does make a difference lot of shops now take up to 25% thats a fair cut and guys put high prices on boards because they also loose lots in commission.

Ha ha cheers

Full circle post some of there secondhand boards on there website now, but only a handful they have way way more than that.

Also try zaksurfboards.com in Melb, they also have a few secondhand boards on there website, the amount of new boards they have instore is also pretty impressive.

BTW. this is probably not a great time to buy a secondhand board in surf shops the good ones tend to turn over pretty quick during summer went in Island other day and there wasn't much quality there, during winter though you can pick up some real good deals.
