Houdini

Name: Houdini
Brand: Firewire

Owners Rating:

The Houdini, designed by Wade Tokoro in collaboration with Kelly Slater, is built for controlled lines through racy barrels, particularly in Hawaiian waves. Debuting in 2019, this board has been a staple for Kelly during the WSL season, excelling at locations like Pipeline and Margaret River. It features a single to double concave with slight vee, offering incredible acceleration and maneuverability despite its step-up frame. The Houdini hides volume under the chest for better paddling while maintaining a tapered rail for sensitivity. Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers, it’s perfect for powerful, barreling waves.
