FireWire Viking

General Discussion
1

Hello All,

I’m thinking of getting a FireWire Viking, or Walden Magic tuflite 10’.

I’m recovering from a leg tendon problem and want an easy board to help me recover.

I’ve got a 9’6 Dewey Weber performer and love it. I just want a board with more volume and length again!!

I thought of the Viking because it was different, a new toy, as well as helping my recovery. Have they got much rocker?

Many thanks.

I doubt most members here are following the retail boards that closely.  We mostly do board building here, not board reviews on what the mass producers are building.

Don’t go away.  Perhaps we can interest you in taking control of the boards you surf.   Learn how to build your own.

Your first built-not-bought board isn’t going to build itself, you know.   Even if you don’t pick it up as a habit or preference, building a couple boards on your own will teach you a lot about design elements and make you a much more informed consumer when you do buy boards from other people.   

 

Surfing a board you built will also add another dimension to your surfing experience, too.   A board doesn’t have to be perfectly shaped or glassed in order to be fun.   Much of the surfing experience is mental, not just physical.

I had a 9-6 Walden Magic epoxy/EPS it was very easy to catch waves and ride. I sold it to a friend for $300 several years ago and still haven’t got a nickel out of him. I finally said can I at least have my fin back, he said it was stolen. The amazing thing is he’s still my friend lol. He had some opioid addiction issues so I cut him slack, just happy he beat that demon. I digress.  Walden Magic is a good shape for your needs. Sorry about the injury, hope you can stay out there in the lineup having fun one way or another!
