The Firewire Seaside Volcanic Surfboard is a revolutionized design from the Go Fish and offers more control with a less skatey feel. Still super fun nonetheless and meant to be ridden as a hi-performance surfboard in a range of conditions, this fish is known for catching small waves and paddles well thanks to the width up front. The Firewire Seaside is meant to be ridden as a quad.
This is the new Volcanic Tech, which is a Basalt Lamination built around a Helium inner construction. Basalt has been around for years as a glass fiber alternative for extra strength and heat resistance in the Aerospace industry. This is NOT carbon although has similar characteristics in that it is much stronger than glass fiber yet is also a slightly better eco alternative.
“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.” -Rob Machado
