Just as parabolic, or hourglass-shaped, skis changed that sport, Firewire's Future Shapes Technology boards feature balsa-wood rails glued to the EPS foam to increase motion in the foam core. The design accentuates the rocker for a tighter turn, as in parabolic skis. The first surfboards hit racks just weeks...
...TIME recommended giving football the same number of officials that tennis and rugby matches use. But just one additional assistant referee with a TV set would be enough.
