Firewire Greedy Beaver Surfboard

1 reviews

The Firewire Greedy Beaver has built a solid fan base in a relatively short period of time. Don’t be fooled by the longboard nose, the Greedy Beaver is a rebel in disguise. Designed to paddle fast, catch waves early and perform from the tail like a true shortboard. The Greedy Beaver will leave you with a permanent grin in weaker, fatter waves.

From the shaper - Dann Mann

The Greedy Beaver is a true “crossover” board with the paddle and glide of a mid-length and the agility of a shortboard. Plant your back foot and the GB is happy on a rail, capable in the pocket and reliable in steeper waves. Negotiating the flats is a breeze, a large planing area and a pronounced single to double concave will speed you across the mush.

What We Like

Performance mid-length

The Greedy Beaver is instantly pleasing on the eye; Firewire’s TimberTek construction, smooth and curvy lines with and a beautiful rounded pintail. This might sound a little crass, but the GB is a classy “cut-n-shut”, with a generous mal front end and the rear end of a performance shortboard.... Rolls Royce comfort and glide with the speed and control of a BMW M3!

The Firewire Greedy Beaver really is a joy to ride and really comes to life in good quality waves. While it’s not the board to attack hollow barrelling waves, the Greedy Beaver really works when you’ve got a bit of face to work with.

Sizing the Greedy Beaver

This board will serve a wide range of abilities and styles depending on how it’s sized. If you’re an accomplished shortboarder looking for a summer stick, or a board for weaker conditions, you’ll love the smaller 5ft 6 and 5ft 8 sizes.

The Greedy Beaver also makes a great first shortboard, with early wave entry, stability and a true shortboard feel under the back foot. Older guys are flocking to the GB, lured by its split personality, generous float and performance in decent waves. Longboarders looking for a smaller travel board are loving the compact size and loving its prowess in the quality waves they’re encountering around the globe.

Gready Beaver 6’8” Repreve

From usually riding a 9’1” longboard I wanted to drop down to something smaller and easy to ride. I’m 56 and about 76kG intermediate surfer.. Always liked the look of the Gready Beaver and after sending various emails for advice to Matt on board size, fin set up, tail pad and board bag, It worked out perfect for exactly what I was looking for.
The first time I used it I was so impressed with the way the board paddles, very much like a longboard. A lot easier to catch waves than I was expecting and super fun to ride. Can even duck dive it. I was recommended a Future’s 5 fin set which at the moment I’m using as a tri fin for medium/ larger size waves and will use the quad set up on the smaller days. Also very impressed with the Global system 6’10” board bag which fits perfectly. Since having the GB I’m now using it as my every day board and love riding it and cannot fault it in any way for exactly what I was looking for.
I’m sure that anyone who goes for one of these boards will not be disappointed. It was also good, fast delivery and very well packaged, and good after sales communication.
