Firewire Introduces the Hydronaut by Tomo

The Hydronaut can crank the best open-faced carve of your year.

It can chase the most wide open barrel of your life.

The Hydronaut is the marriage of Daniel Thomson’s Quad Inside Single Concave and a traditional step-up template; refined in the forward third to eliminate everything unnecessary.

You can join us on this new episode of The Wire Podcast to hear Timmy Reyes explain why.

You’ll also hear him share stories about riding the Hydronaut in waves sized fun to sized frightening.

He shares much more as well, such as what it’s like to spend his winters in ‘The Northwest’ wearing 6 mil booties and very often driving 1500 miles at a time to surf waves that nearly no one knows about except him.

In this episode he also references the video clips below showing the Hydronaut ridden in every wave you might want to surf it in:

We’ve strengthened it above what you’d expect from our stock LFT build to keep it alive in waves worth traveling to, and it’s ridden by Timmy Reyes, Stu Kennedy, and Daniel Thomson.

This shape excels at the most critical aspect of chasing  big waves – it makes the drop – to quote Kelly Slater’s thoughts on the Hydronaut; “It’s impossible to pearl on.”
