The Versatility of the Rob Machado Firewire Seaside

Design Features

The Rob Machado Firewire Seaside has a wide outline and deep single to double concave running through the entire length of the board. This design allows for easy paddling and maneuverability when carving turns. In addition, the extra foam in the nose provides more buoyancy which helps make it easier to catch waves and stay afloat. The wider outline also gives you plenty of stability when riding bigger waves or performing more intense manoeuvres. 

Flex Characteristics 

HELIUM Deck Skins

Deck skins make a difference and Helium's deck skin is exceptional. When you load up turns or push hard off the bottom you'll feel your feet sinking into the deck as we all enjoy when creating footwells, but Helium's deck skin has a memory that rebounds back to form after being compressed It often looks pristine after removing wax following your first several surfs Aerospace composites applied to surfing at their finest.

No Center Stringer

HELIUM has wood running from nose to tail on each rail similar to Timbertek but instead of being purely paulownia, Helium's rail is built from a mix of both paulownia and balsa wood. This enables more bend in Helium's rail when compared to the more ridged sensations of Timbertek's rail and it makes Helium feel like it loads up on rail and springs back to form, ideal for tight turns on compact wave faces, and eruptive shows of spray when meeting the lip vertically.
