Slater Designs Boss up (I-Bolic 2.0)Shape: Das Slater Designs Boss Up in Firewire I Bolic Bauweise ist das erste Midlength Surfboard von Kelly Slater. Zusammen mit Firewire Shaper Dan Mann hat er die Designelemente des krzeren S Boss Models hochskaliert, um ein vielseitiges Midlength mit hohem Performance Anspruch zu kreieren.

Shape:

Das Slater Designs Boss Up in Firewire I-Bolic Bauweise ist das erste Midlength Surfboard von Kelly Slater. Zusammen mit Firewire Shaper Dan Mann hat er die Designelemente des kürzeren S Boss Models hochskaliert, um ein vielseitiges Midlength mit hohem Performance Anspruch zu kreieren. Entsprechend ist die Outline eher schlank gehalten mit dem Wide Point recht weit hinten und einer schon sehr früh schmal zulaufenden Nose. Auch die Rails ähneln nahezu denen eines klassischen Shortboards. Das Volumen wurde geschickt mit einem Domed Deck versteckt. Für Midlength-Maßstäbe verfügt das Boss Up zudem über einen eher ausgeprägten Rocker. Besonders auffällig sind die Bottom Contours des Boss Up: Ein Vee läuft beinahe über die gesamte Länge des Boards, was besonders smoothe Rail-to-Rail Wechsel ermöglicht. Da dieses Unterwasserschiff etwas tiefer im Wasser sitzt und so typischerweise mit einem gewissen Verlust an Geschwindigkeit assoziiert wird, haben Kelly und Dan sich eine Besonderheit einfallen lassen. Auf beiden Seiten des Stringers befindet sich ein Concave, welches für zusätzlichen Speed und Lift sorgt. Das Boss Up kommt mit Tri Quad Finnen Set Up. So werden auch Die-Hard Thruster Fans zufrieden gestellt. Ausgelegt ist das Boss Up ist aber primär für ein Quad Fin Setup, welches maximalen Drive und Hold auf dem Rail mit einem schönen Release abrundet.

Surfer:innen und Bedingungen:

Das Boss Up ist das wohl vielseitigste Board in der Slater Designs Range. Der extra Foam und die großzügige Länge helfen beim frühen Angleiten und lassen das Board auch in kleineren Wellen gut über flache Sections floaten. Gleichzeitig sorgt die schlanke Outline in Kombination mit dem großzügigen Rocker für jede Menge Hold und Performance, auch in großen und steilen Wellen. Besonders viel Spaß macht das Boss Up in brusthohen Wellen aufwärts. Um das Board ausreizen zu können, sollten die Basics sicher sitzen. Für frühe Intermediates würden wir Shapes mit vollerer Outline und weniger Rocker empfehlen. Surfer:innen, die sonst eher größere Boards gewohnt sind, erhalten mit dem Boss Up einen Shortboard Ersatz. Wer hingegen vom Shortboard kommt, wird auf dem Boss Up auch rippen können und sich über die zusätzliche Paddelpower vor allem in vollen Lineups freuen.

Alternativen:

Für frühe Intermediates würden wir das Thunderbolt Moe Mini, das Firewire Greedy Beaver oder das Pukas La Cote empfehlen. Ähnlich viel Performance, aber mit Twin Fin Setup gibt’s beim Thunderbolt Mid 6 Twin.

Bauweise:

Firewire’s I-Bolic Tech basiert auf der klassischen Helium-Bauweise mit parabolischen Rails und ergänzt diese durch einen Doppel-T-förmigen Stringer. Die Idee dabei ist, die lebhaften Surf Eigenschaften und Robustheit der Helium Bauweise mit den dämpfenden Charakteristika der LFT Bauart zu kombinieren. Ein leichter EPS Kern wird mit einem hochverdichteten Stringer versehen, der durch jeweils einen 3mm dicken “Springer” im Deck und Bottom ergänzt wird. Das Ganze wird dann mit parabolischen Hartschaum-Rails eingerahmt und mit einer extrem robusten und leichten Kunststoff/Epoxy Sandwich Schicht geglast. Das Resultat sind hervorragende Travel Boards, die mindestens genauso robust wie Helium Boards sind, aber aufgrund des härteren Flexes durch den Stringer etwas mehr an das klassische Surf Gefühl von Polyester Boards erinnern.
2026 startet Slater Designs I-Bolic 2.0, das sich vom "originalen" I-Bolic allerdings nur im Design unterscheidet!

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.
