The Seaside from Machado & Firewire is a refined, performance quad, that has its roots in Rob's Go Fish. With less area in the tail [than the go fish] a narrower swallow and nose - the seaside is all about ripping, whilst keeping the true to vibe of Rob's ethos of fast, loose fun. Built for 4 fins, the concave and contours are all designed with a quad setup in mind.
This limited edition stunning blue swirl colourway version of the board is limited to 250 units globally and they are all numbered accordingly from 1 to 250 (with Mr Rob Machado owning number 1)! This is your chance to own an unique take on one of surfing’s most popular boards.
CONSTRUCTION
Helium core construction excels at generating speed in weak, everyday waves. It’s a 1.0 EPS foam core with flex controlled at the rails made from wood.
Our standard Fiberglass lamination starts with a layer of 4oz E Glass on the deck, with a high density composite skin overtop, wrapped in a second layer of 4oz E Glass. The bottom has two layers of 4oz E Glass, all held together with bio resin.

Hey Rob - whats 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
And 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 is the Seaside built in Helium?
The first one I made for Tahiti was LFT and I was riding it in 6 foot tubes. But most everyone surfs a shape like the Seaside at beach breaks and little point breaks, so we made it in Helium because it's really light, very responsive, really flexy with a softer feel and very durable. It's the best option for a shape like the Seaside in smaller, weaker waves
