Firewire Thunderbolt Red Seaside & Beyond surfboard 7ft 0 Futures - White
The Firewire Seaside & Beyond now in the insanely good Thunderbolt Red tech is the latest drool-inducing magic stick from Rob Machado and the Firewire team.
Rob had been interested in a 'long fish' since spending time with Skip Frye who showed him some of his fishes in the 7ft range. Rob's first foray into the' long-fish' was a stretched out Go Fish which worked but needed something extra, but his interest was definitely spiked. His next step was to give the incredibly popular Seaside quad-fish the same treatment; stretching it out and fine-tuning the rocker.
The Seaside & Beyond was born and very quickly became the board Rob never left home without. Rob has been riding his Seaside in pretty much anything from 1 foot beach breaks to barrelling reefs and all ports in-between. Rob's clean and concise quiver currently includes a 5'4 Seaside and a 7ft Seaside & Beyond!
"It glides, It turns on a dime and most importantly… it puts a smile on my face" - Rob Machado.
The Firewire Seaside & Beyond is going to find a place in many, many quivers. Many will add a Seaside & Beyond to their quiver as a step-down for the smaller or more crowded days and at the other end of the spectrum are the surfers who'll use it as a step up for the bigger and better days when they struggle to battle out through the surf with their longboards or higher volume Mini-mals, It might be that you just don't get in as often as you'd like or you're just getting a little older and don't have the fitness you once had...the Seaside & Beyond will definitely fit the bill and most important of all...get you riding more waves and smiling till it hurts.
This SS & B model is constructed using 'Thunderbolt Red' a 100% hand layup Xeon Fibreglass Lamination which delivers a competition weight and flex. Thunderbolt Red uses a Fused Cell EPS Foam Blank which incorporates a Carbon Fibre Multi-Component Flex Control System which replaces a traditional wooden stringer which along with the Xeon Fibreglass lamination delivers a familiar flex which will remain for the extended lifespan of these durable boards. Thunderbolt Red uses a 6 + 4oz fibreglass deck lamination with 6 + 2oz on the bottom. The Fused Cell EPS Foam Blank is wrapped in a Core Shield PVC Shell which affords flexible protection to the EPS core.
Forget the lifeless and corky EPS boards you might of heard about or even owned; these boards couldn't be further from the mass produced characterless Epoxy surfboards 'banged out' in the far east. These boards are 100% hand layups and finished to the very highest standard
