Firewire Boss Up buying guide
The Boss Up sits between a shortboard and a midlength — longer and with more volume than a shortboard for easier paddling, but with a shortboard-influenced outline and a 5-fin box for performance turns. It is one of the better options in the Firewire lineup for surfers who want to step up in length without giving up their shortboard surfing instincts.
Who is the Boss Up for?
The Boss Up suits surfers transitioning from shortboards to longer shapes, experienced shortboarders who want more paddle power on average days, and surfers returning to surfing who want a longer board that still turns well. At 6'6" to 7'6" it paddles significantly better than a shortboard while the 5-fin box lets you run thruster or quad depending on conditions.
Boss Up vs Seaside and Beyond
TheSeaside and Beyondis a midlength quad fish — more fish-oriented, designed for speed and glide. The Boss Up has a more shortboard-influenced outline and runs a 5-fin box rather than a dedicated quad. Choose the Boss Up if you want shortboard-style performance in a longer board. Choose the Seaside and Beyond for quad fish glide.
