Description

All New is the Slater Designs Sci-Fi 2.0 surfboard in the Volcanic Ibolic construction.
This updated version of the globally popular original Sci-Fi has been tweaked and refined to accommodate a wider wave range and more specifically improve performance at both the lower and upper ends of its ends of its wave spectrum.
Essentially more volume has been packed into a shorter length and the wide point has been shuffled forward of centre allowing the Sci-Fi 2.0 to be ridden an inch or 2 shorter, thereby improving its performance for the average surfer in smaller less than perfect conditions. The adjustments to the tail and rocker are significant; the tail has been pulled-in so the 2.0 copes far better with chop and still maintains the speed of the original but with more control than before. The new rocker which is similar to the Cymatic loosens up the tail and generally improves performance in quality waves without sacrificing any small wave prowess.
This latest addition to the Slater Designs line-up looks like a really usable shortboard for the intermediate guy or girl in average to good quality waves. The 2.0 would definitely fit-the-bill if you’re looking for a good all-rounder, a board for pretty much any conditions you’re likely to encounter on your home patch or on your travels.
Yes, I’m gonna say it…the Sci-Fi 2.0 has plenty of ‘one board quiver’ credentials; with great small wave performance and all the tools to excel in waves of significance in the 5 to 6 foot range. If you like travelling light or would rather keep things simple and bond with a single board you could do a lot worse than the Sci-Fi 2.0.
The Sci-Fi 2.0 shortboard is destined for great things in 2020, and once again the winning combination of Tomo, Kelly and Firewire’s amazing construction looks to be a winner.
Volcanic Tech is made from Basalt Fibers Extruded from Volcanic rocks. The rocks are crushed, melted and extruded into woven fibres that make up the cloth. The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles to produce continuous filaments of basalt fiber. The filaments are then cut into long stem fibres and woven into lamination cloth fibre. The cloth has similar characteristics to carbon as it relates to strength and weight however because the fibres are derived from Organic Raw materials, when combined with Bio Resins it serves as better degradable ECO alternative than using traditional carbon fiber cloth.
