Might be the prettiest board I've ever seen. Unreal shape by the boys in Noosa, much more responsive than a traditional twin. Performance + style = bliss!

I’ve had a classic Malibu egg for six years and I continue to ride it regularly. I ride it with the Alkali widowmaker 2 + 1 fin setup. It’s a great board for down the line surfing and flowing S turns. I’ve surfed this board in conditions from waist high to overhead beach break. Peter’s boards are high quality, beautifully finished, and built to last. I encourage you to speak to Peter personally before ordering a board to dial in your dimensions.

I'm an intermediate surfer and also quite light weight. I found this board to have a lot of drive and speed. Felt like a grommet on it. It's so easy to maneuver and perfect in 2-4ft beach break. I've surfed on full tides and it's still super fun!! Definitely the perfect choice.

Great paddler for size and volume. Feels natural under feet. Goes great in 2-5 foot.

Pretty fun board for both crappy and good conditions. Paddles well and is very easy to throw around with plenty of control. Just wouldn't recommend using it for when it gets big (5ft plus), as it lacks volume and control. After over a year of using the freeflow model, overall I'd say it's a great all around board that's fun and offers great manoeuvrability.

Purchased this board as a step up for using here in Western Australia. Have only surfed the board a couple of times but in great waves in our NW and over at Rottnest Island. Initial impressions - the board has great paddling power and gets into waves really well as you'd expect (it's 3" think). Plenty of drive off the bottom, and good down the line speed. At 6"6" feels like a 6"8" or longer board and it is not as loose as I was expecting, but it's still early days. At 58 you can't expect to be surfing like JJF anyway, but nothing wrong with trying. Overall really please with the purchase and looking forward to continuing testing it out in our solid WA conditions.

Stock dims thruster with squash tail. When the waves are good and have more curve this board comes to life. Plenty of speed and holds well off the bottom with plenty of drive. Performs best in the pocket and more critical parts of the wave. Surfed in beach breaks and points. However once the waves fatten out a more effort is required to keep it going. Good for high level surfers looking for a board when. the waves get good, wouldn't recommend to intermediate or below level surfers.

I have two other Firewire's in my Quiver being the Dominator LFT and a Colab Mayhem model being the Mini Driver. I was eyeing off the first round of the Sci-Fi Model, and had a few mates who were surfing that model and noticed the difference in speed and similar to the Dominator how easy to paddle into the waves. I bit the bullet and bought the Sci Fi 2.0 from Boardcave and every wave I have had on it has been fantastic. Paddle Power is exceptional, easy to maneuver, plenty of drive and speed . I surf the board as a Quad using AM2 large fins. Love it...

My go to board these days. Quick and loose when you want it to be but can hold the line, too. Highly recommend. Looks awesome, love the retro shape with modern performance.

Great board for sunny coast waves at a competent level. In overall it is a board to progress and excel at all level with.
