Firewire Timbertek Seaside & Beyond
The Firewire Seaside & Beyond in Timbertek is the latest version of Rob Machado’s epic mid length.
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.
Timbertek construction is the combination of a lightweight EPS core, and sustainably-grown timber deck skins, Firewire’s legendary parabolic rail construction, and an Entropy bio-resin hot coat give an extremely lightweight and durable surfboard with ALL of the high performance flex traits of Firewire’s existing technologies. Even more impressive, this tech has lead to a significant reduction in exterior lamination significantly further reducing the boards carbon footprint. TIMBERTEK, it’s simply High Performance Art!
The Seaside and Beyond comes in just 3 sizes, 6′ 10, 7′ 2 and 7′ 6 with a traditional single to double concave and either Futures or FCS II fin plugs.
