Firewire Spun Honey Surfboard | In Stock

SPUN HONEY – Dan Mann

Who - The Firewire Spun Honey is Dan Mann's high-performance groveler, shaped for freesurfer Kevin Schulz and based on his Spitfire. It is user-friendly with a giant sweet spot, made for surfers pushing performance in weak, everyday conditions.

When - The Spun Honey is built for the fast, shifting walls of beach breaks and punchy peaks. It handles gutless waves, shorebreak barrels, and air sections, making it an everyday board for average surf.

What - A short, compact outline with the wide point just behind center, a tapered diamond tail, and an aggressive double concave inside a single concave that runs well toward the nose. Dan's step rail hides volume in the center while keeping the rails thin. Sits between his Sweet Potato and Dominator 2.0. Built in Helium; pair with the Spun Honey Fin Set.

Spun Honey Quick Facts

Firewire Spun Honey quick facts
Brand / shaper	Firewire Surfboards, Carlsbad, California; designed by Dan Mann (Mannkine), shaped for freesurfer and firefighter Kevin Schulz
Board type	Refined high-performance groveler based on Dan’s Spitfire – more performance than the Sweet Potato, less than the Dominator 2.0
Best waves	Small, weak, gutless waves first, but the Firewire team has been pushing it in head-high to overhead hollow surf and it holds; Firewire charts it for 1–5 ft, strongest in weak conditions
Skill level	All levels, beginner through pro – very user-friendly with a giant sweet spot
Tail	Diamond tail for snappy pivots, added bite and smooth release – a single point off the wide tail acts as a fulcrum so the tail does not get slidey
Design	Short, compact groveler with a bullet nose; wide point a touch behind center but further forward than the Sweet Potato, with a slightly more pulled-in outline; aggressive double concave set inside a solid single concave running further forward than most boards; Dan’s step rail hides volume in the center under a flat deck while keeping bladey, sensitive rails
Fins	Five boxes – thruster or quad. Best template: the Spun Honey fin set Dan Mann designed for it – a pivot-world template with a long base, raked tip and shallow depth (medium or large, 5-fin, Futures). Firewire’s Velox set is the raked alternative; on FCS II boards, the FCS II Reactor is the closest pivot template. Futures boxes on every board.
Stock sizes	5’4 to 6’4 (27.6 L to 44.4 L)
Sizing	A groveler: shorter and wider than your shortboard with 1–2 liters more volume; most surfers go 4–6 inches shorter than their everyday board
Constructions we stock	Firewire builds the Spun Honey in Helium, which is what we stock

Spun Honey Q&A

What size Spun Honey should I get?

Size it like a groveler: shorter and wider than your shortboard with 1–2 liters more volume. Most surfers go 4–6 inches shorter than their everyday board. A surfer on a 6’0 shortboard around 30 liters would look at the 5’6 (20 1/8” x 2 3/8”, 30.0 L) or 5’7 (31.0 L). The chart runs 5’4 (27.6 L), 5’5 (29.0 L), 5’8 (32.5 L), 5’9 (34.0 L), 5’10 (35.2 L), 5’11 (37.5 L), 6’0 (39.4 L), 6’2 (41.7 L) and 6’4 (44.4 L).

What fins does the Spun Honey use?

Five Futures boxes, so you can ride it as a thruster or a quad. Dan Mann designed the Spun Honey fin set specifically for this shape: it lives in the pivot template world, with a long base that sits right where the power is for drive off the bottom, a raked (not bulbous) tip for release and pivot, and a shallow depth with a clean 80/20 foil. It is a traditional fiberglass layup for a flex close to glass-ons, in medium or large. If you prefer a conventional raked feel, Firewire’s Velox set works; on FCS II boards, the FCS II Reactor is the closest pivot-style template.

What waves is the Spun Honey for?

It is a groveler built to push performance, so small, weak, gutless beach-break walls are its home. That said, the Firewire team has been riding it in head-high to overhead hollow conditions and it holds up – Firewire describes it as the board to keep in your trunk whether you are groveling, threading shorebreak barrels or launching airs. Charted for 1–5 ft.

How is the Spun Honey different from the Sweet Potato and the Spitfire?

It is based on Dan’s popular Spitfire, modernized for today’s more explosive surfers. Compared with the Sweet Potato it is slightly more pulled in, with the wide point further forward and a diamond tail instead of a swallow, so it offers more performance; compared with the Dominator 2.0 it is shorter, wider and more forgiving. Firewire places it right between those two in Dan’s range.

Who is the Spun Honey for?

Firewire rates it beginner through pro – it is super user-friendly with a giant sweet spot – but it was shaped for Kevin Schulz and is aimed at surfers pushing performance in weak, everyday conditions. If you want a fast, forgiving everyday board with a spicy edge for beach breaks, this is it.

What construction does the Spun Honey come in?

Firewire builds the Spun Honey in Helium – a stringerless EPS core with flex controlled by paulownia and balsa wood rails and a composite deck skin, light and lively with easy speed in everyday waves. That is the construction we stock. Each board on this page lists its construction and fin boxes.

Can I custom order a Spun Honey?

Firewire builds the Spun Honey in set stock sizes rather than true one-off customs, so there is no custom board builder for it. If the size or construction you want is not on this page, we can usually special order it for you from Firewire’s current range – contact the shop and we will check availability and lead time.
