Mr Machado Insanely Good Firewire Seaside Model Has Been Given A Little Make Over And Treated To The Amazing Awt Construction. Awt Stands For Artificial Wave Technology, They Have Not Changed The Board In Any Way Other Than The Construction. Adding Extra Protection, Mainly To The Nose And Tail, Without Compromising All The Boards Features Has Been Achieved By Firewire. This Is Firewire’S Best Performing, Ultra-Lightweight Helium Construction With Reinforcements To Key Areas.
Whilst Absolutely Loving The Skatey Feel Of His Go Fish Over The Last Couple Of Years, Rob Was Interested In Fine-Tuning The Board To Achieve A Little More Performance For More Carves, Tighter Turns And Some Composure In The Tube.
Rather Than ‘Throw The Baby Out With The Bath Water’, Rob Set About Refining His Beloved Go Fish Into A ‘Ripper’ Where The Go Fish Remains A More ‘Cruisey’ And Fun Surfboard.
The Tail On The Seaside Has Less Area, The Tips Of The Swallow Have Been Narrowed And The Nose Pulled In Creating More Curve And A Board That Fits The Pocket And Turns Tighter In The Critical Part Of The Wave.
The Seaside Is Designed As A Quad And Has Its Concaves And Bottom Contours Based Around That…So Don’T Ask If There Will Be A Five Fin Or Thruster Option…It’S A Quad Period! Rob Said, “I Actually Redesigned The Entire Concave Setup That I’Ve Been Using In The Moonbeam And Go Fish, And Did It With A Quad Setup In Mind So That It All Works Together With The New Fin Set (Coming Soon From Futures!)”.
Rob Named The ‘Seaside’ After His Home Break Seaside Reef, Cardiff Ca. The Board Is Designed To Excel In Beach Breaks, Point Breaks. Rob Decided On Firewire’S Helium Construction For The Seaside To Keep It Nice And Lightweight, Super-Responsive And Really Durable And Ideal For Smaller And Less Punchy Conditions.
The Amazing Awt (Which Stands For Artificial Wave Tech) Construction Builds On The Already Amazing Helium Tech. A Lot Of The Great Features Of The Helium Tech, Such As The High Density Aerospace Composite Deck Skins And A New Paulownia/Balsa Mix On The Rails, Which Give The Board Faster Flex Response, But Has Been Reinforced With Carbon On The Nose And Tail, This Allows The Board To Withstand The Demands Of Wave Pool Riding, With The Concrete Walls And Pool Bottoms Being Very Unfriendly. Its Lighter, More Durable Than Regular Pu Boards And Is A Lot More Durable That For Sure. Having Surfed The Tech In A Couple Of Different Models It Does Feel Light But The Speed Through A Stiffer Feel And Responsiveness Is Exceptional, Awt Helium Is Here To Stay.
