I have a timbertek, impressed with it's durability.
Got hit in the ribs by the rail the other day. Board is good. Ribs are not.

No, this is the first firewire I've had. Love it.

creased mine on my second surf in a 2 foot shorebreak. According to the ding repair bloke they are no stronger than a standard pu board, possibly weaker. We both had a chuckle at the high teck carbon stringer - its just a strip of black paper when you look at it

Got 30 waves out of my new $980 fire wire doing a bottom turn on a soft 3 ft wave . Snapped in half and delaminated the bottom of the board . I started to strip the glass off it and there is a **** load of dust on it . Obviously the didn't blow the dust off it before glassing it . Pretty disappointed after 6 weeks of over time in 38 degree heat to save up for it . Probably the worst constructed board I've ever bought after a 40 min con job from the rep to convince me on how strong they are . Never again
