Introducing the Mindcraft designed by Kelly Slater and Daniel Thomson, a minimalist shape designed for pure function. The Slater Designs Mindcraft G-Flex Surfboard was designed to connect the surfer to their equipment like never before, a mind surfing experience from the minds of two visionaries. The outline was chosen for its minimalism and pure function, "a seamless blend of straightened elliptical curves," says Daniel. The shape and design provide tons of speed and drive, with a feeling of pinpoint precision and the ability to turn on a dime - this board stays under your feet and goes where you want it to go.
Pair with Kelly Slater's newest rake template, the Endorfins KSR as either a Quad or a Thruster, allowing for maximum versatility in waves 2-6 foot.

Product Construction
G-Flex Technology
Firewire's newest construction, the grom version of their new Proflex Technology, built specifically for smaller surfers. Because groms are lighter weight, they eliminated the carbon fiber cloth to create a more cost efficient construction for parents supporting growing kids.
Additional Info
The bottom contours are smoother, more continuous, and more subtle compared to Tomo's past models, offering plenty of speed and flow with a moderate performance rocker. There's a single to double concave that keeps the design engaged with the wave face while still offering lively response familiar to Tomo's other designs.
Wave Type
The Mindcraft is a small wave performance shape that works well in 2' to just overhead. It's rocker makes it suitable to fit in the curve of a smaller wave, but it also works well in a flatter faced wave due to its width and the straightness of its outline. And because you can ride it at a shorter length, it jams in the pocket and goes top to bottom very quickly.
Board Features
This shape has a relatively gentle rocker that's not too extreme but has enough tail kick to pivot nicely in the pocket. It's volume is hidden in the center with a rolled deck, and has a low-volumed rail with a soft profile for bitey control and instantaneous response. The torpedo nose provides low swing weight and makes it hard to catch your nose with its curves. The bumpwing roundtail is a tail design Kelly was really excited about for this shape that gives the outline a nice overall balance. The bulk of the board your need between your feet so you don't have to move around so much - you don't have to move forward for barrels or backwards for turns so you're in the sweet spot pretty much anytime you're up and riding.
Proflex Build Technology
Introducing Proflex Technology is their latest, most high-performance construction made with carbon, developed in partnership with the 11x World Champion, Kelly Slater. This build was engineered directly to Kelly's preference in carbon performance, not too stiff and closer to "broken-in right-out-of-the-box" when you get it. The Spaceship by Kelly Slater and Mike Woo is just the beginning, stay tuned for more shapes built in Proflex Technology.
Proflex Performance
Meet Firewire's latest, most high-performance construction made with carbon, Proflex Technology. Offering superior strength and performance, reduced weight, and controlled flex, this sandwich construction is built for critical, high-performance surfing.
Proflex Core Compatibility
Proflex Technology is neither a core construction nor a lamination construction specifically, it's a combination of the both: a truly unique build.
