About the Product

The board everyone wants to borrow… and never give back. The Firewire Seaside is Rob Machado’s go-to quad groveler, designed specifically for stylish, smooth, and high-performance surfing in small waves. A direct evolution of the iconic Go Fish, the Seaside keeps the fun, but adds tighter turns, improved maneuverability, and a more refined outline.

With a compact shape and narrower swallow tail, this board is perfect for surfers chasing speed and agility in weaker conditions. Whether you're riding a beach break or a soft point, the Seaside is all about pure, playful performance.

Why Quad Only?
Rob Machado designed the Seaside’s bottom contours, from concaves to rails, with a dedicated quad setup in mind. The goal: balance speed, flow, and fast response, maximizing performance in waves from 0.5m to 1.5m (1.5ft to 5ft).
