Firewire Surfboard Seaside and Beyond (Volcanic Helium)

Overview

Midlength / Alternative Fish Range – Firewire Seaside & Beyond Volcanic Helium Model (Rob Machado Shape)

The Seaside & Beyond by Firewire Surfboards is the ultimate high-performance midlength fish evolution, born from Rob Machado's fascination with longer alternative shapes. Inspired by his time with legendary shaper Skip Frye and his iconic 7-foot fish designs, Machado stretched out his signature Seaside blueprint to create a board that completely redefines the midlength category. The result is an extraordinary craft that effortlessly glides like a glider, turns on a dime like a shortboard, and, most importantly, puts a massive smile on your face.

This utility midlength is engineered to be a true one-board quiver that you can take everywhere you go. It adapts seamlessly to an incredibly vast spectrum of conditions, allowing you to cruise gracefully across super small, gutless days or confidently charge when the surf steps up and turns heavy. Built in Firewire's premium Volcanic Helium construction, this board wraps the ultra-lightweight, durable, and responsive Helium core with a heavy-duty volcanic basalt lamination. This premium combination smooths out ocean chatter, adds high-impact resistance, and delivers an organic, fluid flex pattern with incredible energy return through every transition.

This model is best suited for surfers looking to experience the unmatched paddle power and effortless trim of a longer board without sacrificing the ability to execute sharp, tight-radius turns. Whether you want to maximize your wave count on soft beach breaks or draw clean, high-speed lines on point breaks, the Seaside & Beyond stands as a highly dynamic, elegant, and versatile weapon.

Model Outline

Stretched-out performance fish template featuring a sleek, elongated midlength silhouette with a balanced distribution of volume. The template narrows down into a refined, high-performance swallow tail block, a strategic configuration engineered to drastically reduce surface area under your back foot, allowing for precise tracking, effortless rail engagement, and crisp release at high speeds.

Bottom Contours

Quad-exclusive performance concave configuration — The hull is masterfully designed with an intricate, flowing concave setup tailored explicitly to work in absolute harmony with a quad-fin placement. This specialized contour traps water upfront to create immediate lift and down-the-line velocity, working together with the responsive spring-back memory of the Volcanic Helium structure to guarantee ultra-fluid rail-to-rail transitions, relentless drive, and absolute control.
