RRD’s Firestorm program has seen some changes in the shapes this year. Based on the scooprocker of the X-fire boards, the thinner volume configuration and narrower tail allow the firestorm to have excellent acceleration but comfortable when freeriding.
We’ve riden the older version and it was excellent. Well we haven’t ridden this brand new board, we’ve tested both the firestorm and X-fire, and think it’s safe to say that if you want to drag race your friends and blast around at full speed without the demands of a full on Slalom board this should be near the top of your list.
