Firewire Volcanic Seaside surfboard 5ft7
Rob Machado on the Seaside, “just evolving the Go Fish to something new, really. The Go Fish goes fast and feels skatey and loose and I love it, and riding it for a couple years made me want to feel more high performance – more carves, tighter turns. So the Seaside is about refining… less area in the tail, narrowing the tips of the swallow, creating more curve and narrowing the nose. All elements for ripping while the Go Fish stays cruisey and fun.”
The Seaside is quad only, why?
“I decided that if i was going to make a quad I would make a quad that’s strictly a quad … Design the concaves and bottom contours around that. I actually redesigned my entire concave setup that I’ve been using on the Moonbeam and Go Fish, and did it with the quad setup in mind so that it all works together.”
Why name this shape after your home break, Seaside?
“Naming surfboards might be the hardest thing to do on the planet [laughing]. It’s just the perfect little stick when I surf my home spot, Seaside.”

Taylor Jensen Hull Rider
Easy to ride, easy to paddle, and super fun. The TJ Hull Rider is an all-around longboard with incredible stability and a gentle hull bottom. The shape features a teardrop concave cut into the nose for added lift while nose riding and less swing weight through turns. Its flatter entry rocker means paddling power is maximized, letting you glide into waves from way out the back. The board’s rocker provides fast, effortless high line speed down the line combined with the gentle hull bottom, you feel connected and in control of everything. The shape’s downturned rail and hard edge add to the speed and performance, allowing you to roll that hull over onto a hard rail with a smooth gliding feel. The TJ Hull Rider is all about the the sensation the board gives you under your feet, and this board lets you do the type of surfing that just feels good.
