About the Product

The board your friends always want to borrow — and never return. The Firewire Seaside is Rob Machado’s favorite quad groveler, purpose-built for stylish, fluid, and performance-driven surfing in smaller waves. A direct evolution of the iconic Go Fish, the Seaside maintains that same fun spirit but with added maneuverability, tighter turning radius, and a sleeker outline.

With its compact shape and narrower swallow tail, this board is designed for surfers chasing speed and agility in weaker surf. Whether you’re at a beach break or a mellow point break, the Seaside turns average days into pure surf joy.

Board Specs
Dimensions: 5'6" x 21 1/4" x 2 1/2" — Volume: 32.7L

Fin Setup: Quad only (no thruster option)

Tail: Pulled-in swallow tail for sharp, flowing turns

Bottom Contour: Custom-designed by Rob for optimal quad performance

Construction: Helium Core — ultra-light EPS with paulownia and balsa wood rails, no stringer

Optional Upgrades:

Volcanic Lamination — basalt fiber for extra strength and sustainability

Artificial Wave Tech — reinforced construction for wave pools

Why Quad Only?
Rob Machado shaped the Seaside from the bottom up with a dedicated quad setup in mind — from the concaves to the rail and tail contours. The result: smooth acceleration, seamless flow, and fast, responsive turning in waves from 1.5 to 5 feet (0.5m to 1.5m).
