Needed fins. Got fins. Staff was super chill and helpful. Good questions to be sure they made the best recommendation. SOLD! Love them. (The fins or the staff...)

Came through last week from Bama looking to rent a board other than a soft top, and they had a solid selection of proper boards. I chose the Firewire Sweet Potato. They hooked it up for sure. Certainly will be back!!🤙
