The Firewire Dominator II 5'8" Helium (Futures) is a modern reimagining of one of Firewire’s most iconic shapes. First introduced in 2008, the Dominator has been a go-to board in many quivers—and now it’s back with refined performance features that push its versatility even further.
With a squash tail replacing the original round tail, the Dominator II offers increased maneuverability and quicker release through turns, without sacrificing the smooth rail-to-rail transitions that made the original so reliable. The slightly refined rails add more responsiveness, while the bottom contour features a familiar single concave under the front foot, evolving into a double-barrel and subtle vee out the tail—perfect for drawing clean lines with speed and flow.
This board excels in a wide range of conditions, making it a dependable daily driver for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for that classic fish feel with modern control. Built with Firewire’s Helium tech, it’s ultra-lightweight yet impressively durable—ideal for performance sessions in variable Nova Scotia waves.
