Das Shape:
Das Mashup von Firewire ist aus dem gebündelten Wissen der beiden Shaperikonen Dan Mann und Rob Machado entstanden. Als Inspiration haben dem Mashup zwei bereits etablierte Boards gedient, das Spitfire (Performance Hybrid von Dan Mann) und das Seaside (Quad Fish von Rob Machado). Zwei unterschiedliche Shaper-Stile wurden hier erfolgreich auf einen gemeinsamen Nenner gebracht. Das Spitfire bringt die Performance mit, während das Seaside auch in schwächeren Konditionen sehr viel Speed generiert. Ein Step Deck im Tail in Kombination mit einem Domed Deck und scharfen Rails ermöglicht performance-orientiertes Surfen, auch bei großzügig gewählten Volumen. Das tiefe Double Concave macht das Mashup schnell und ermöglicht eine einfache Rail to Rail Transition. Durch das kleine Swallow Tail wird das Board nicht zu loose und bekommt Bite in der Welle. Eine kontinuierlich runde Outline lässt die Turns von Mashup sehr smooth werden und der für einen Groveler relativ stark ausgeprägte Nose Flip verhindert Nose Dives auch in steileren Wellen. Das 5 Finnen Set Up ermöglicht diverse Optionen das Board zu surfen. Surfer:innen, die das looses, agiles Surfen bevorzugen sind mit einem 2+1 Setup bestens bedient. Für vertikale Turns in steileren Wellen ist ein Thruster Setup zu empfehlen. Mit einem Quad Fin Set hingegen wird das Surfboard besonders schnell down the line und bekommt viel Grip auf dem Rail.

SurferInnen und Bedingungen:
Großzügig dimensioniert ist das Firewire-Board auch für Intermediate SurferInnen oder sogar als erstes Shortboard zu gebrauchen. Je weiter man mit dem Volumen runter geht, desto spürbarer wird der Performance Einfluss vom Spitfire. Wer eine Allzweckwaffe für den europäischen Sommer braucht, ist mit dem Firewire Mashup bestens aufgestellt. Das Board fühlt sich in hüft- bis kopfhohen Wellen am wohlsten, fortgeschrittene SurferInnen können mit dem Mashup aber sowohl in kleineren als auch größeren Wellen noch gut arbeiten.

Alternativen:
Das Firewire Seaside ist eine Alternative, die interessant wird, wenn Dein Fokus eher auf schwächeren Wellen liegt. Falls Dir in der Kollaboration von Dan Mann und Rob Machado nicht genug Shortboard enthalten ist, schau dir doch mal das CI Rocket Wide oder den Firewire Dominator II an. Der RNF 96 von Lost hat einen sehr ähnlichen Einsatzbereich wie das Mashup, ist aber auf Twin Fin (oder 2+1) Setup spezialisiert.

Bauweise:
Helium ist als Nachfolger der FST Bauweise Firewire's leichteste Technologie mit einem sehr dynamischen Flex Verhalten. Das Prinzip ist das gleiche wie bei der FST und Timbertek Bauweise, nur werden leichtere Materialien verwendet und anstelle des Holzfurniers eine dünne Hartschaumplatte aus der Raumfahrt verarbeitet. Ein stringerloser, extrem leichter Kern wird von einem Pauwlonia/Balsa Rahmen in Form parabolischer Rails eingerahmt und mit einer extrem robusten und leichten Kunststoff/Epoxy Sandwich Schicht geglast.
Helium eignet sich durch sein leichtes Gewicht und sein lebhaftes Flex Verhalten sehr gut für Shortboard-, Hybrid-, Fish- und auch Midlength-Shapes. Die hohe Widerstandsfähigkeit macht Helium Boards genau wie Timbertek Boards zu idealen Reise Surfboards, die weniger empfindlich und dinganfälig als klassische PU Boards sind.
Helium 2 ist lediglich ein designtechnisches Update zur originalen Helium Bauweise. Vor allem die farbigen Rails mit sichtbarem Holz im Tailbereich fallen hier auf. Die Technologie und Surf Eigenschaften bleiben davon aber unberührt.

Luxurious Feel, Durable Build… but Full Rotation Privileges Have Been Revoked 💙🦴 🐾
Color: Blue, Size: 6 IN, Color: Blue, Size: 6 IN
🐾 Hi, I’m PVD; toy curator, plush critic & occasional chew sommelier. This armadillo arrived beautifully packaged and immediately met my standards for texture, squeak clarity and cuddle factor. I originally gave it 5 stars for quality; and still do! But today I’m updating the review to reflect my current toy lifestyle rotation. 😌 What impressed me from day one: ✔️ High-end plush feel; soft enough to nap on, tough enough for energetic zoom bites and great relief from teething ✔️ Strong stitching; survived multiple “stress tests” (I chewed with intention) ✔️ HQ squeaker; not tinny or annoying, more of a honk ✔️ 6in is perfect size for small breeds; easy to carry during dramatic hallway walks Why it now gets 4 stars from a seasoned toy collector: ✘ As my luxury toy collection expanded, this one gets grabbed less often ✘ Simple design; I now favor more interactive or complex textures ✘ Still “keep-worthy,” just no longer VIP spot on the chaise lounge Best For: • Pups who enjoy soft comfort toys or emotional support snuggles • Light to moderate chewers • Dogs who like to carry their plushes around proudly • Ideal as a teething toy or thoughtful gift 🚫 Not ideal for: power chewers or highly stimulation-driven pups (like me now; my taste evolved) 📝 Final Re-Barks: Still recommend for pups who love cuddly squeaky companions. Great starter plush and great quality; just know that ultra-picky toy enthusiasts may rotate it out once newer models (or squeakier friends) arrive. — PVD (Plush Aficionado, Toy Rotation Director & High-Maintenance Household Icon) 🐶💁🏻‍♂️✨

Well Constructed Toy But Short-Life Squeaker
Color: Gray, Size: 8 IN
Super cute and durable toy. Makes a "grunting" noise that my dog loves. However rating a little lower because my dog has only been playing with it (gently) for a couple weeks and the grunting noise is starting to die. But she does really like this toy regardless!

Cute and soft dog toy!
Color: Gray, Size: 8 IN
This very cute armadillo dog toy is nice and soft for our Golden Retriever to carry around in his mouth. He eventually likes to pull off the legs, ears, or anything else extending from the body of the toy and so far he hasn’t been able to do so with this one. Not saying that it’s not possible, so as with any toy, you should monitor your dog playing with it as we definitely have to. He also likes to continually make his toys squeak and this toy’s squeaker works very well!

Great Toy for tiny to giant pups
Color: Gray, Size: 8 IN
Cute Amarillo. My teacup Yorkie uses it as a pillow or chases and attacks it. Well stretched does not easily fall apart. Good value for the money. Suitable for all sized dogs.

Fun dog toy, but not for heavy chewers
Color: Pink, Size: 14 IN
The armadillo is cute. My pittie, Sasha, was very excited to see it. She just had TPLO surgery on her left knee (she tore her ACL just before the 4th of July), and I wanted to get her something she could play with while she convalesces, that isn't a ball—she really likes to run and jump and chase the ball, but with her knee out of commission, I didn't want her to get depressed being trapped in her crate while she heals—with this toy, she was able to keep playing and not over excert herself and get more hurt. It quickly became her favorite toy; she chews it relentlessly and gets made when I take it from her (see below). It makes a funky squeak that's not a high-pitched squeak, like I thought it would be; it's more a low-pitched, lowing sound like a baby calf. One thing I would like to point out to other purchasers about what the description says: "Durable and Long Lasting - Made from premium soft materials, our cute plush dog toys can withstand rough play for indoor or outdoor and last for years to come. The textured surface also helps massage and soothe your dog's gums during playtime" This is a little misleading. It's a good texture and Sasha loved to play with it, but it wasn't very durable. It might be when compared to other chew toys, but not for my baby. She tore the nose off within 20 minutes of getting it. The next morning, she ripped off an ear, and I had to pull the stuffing out of the face so she wouldn't eat it while chewing away. She doesn't seem to mind, but I sure wish it had held up a little more. All-in-all, this was a good toy for a few days.
