FIREWIRE
MASHUP

A Rob Machado and Dan Mann collab, fusing their Seaside and Spitfire into one hybrid shortboard for everyday, inconsistent surf.
How It Surfs
  • Forward wide point loads paddle power, so you're into waves before they close out
  • Double concave deepens toward the tail, building speed early off the back foot
  • Swallowtail keeps the tail loose, pivoting without needing big-wave push
Two Builds
  • Helium: parabolic wood rails give it a lively, spring-back flex in soft surf
  • Volcanic: same core, basalt lamination for extra durability and impact resistance
  • 5-fin box: ride it thruster, quad, or twin depending on conditions
Skip the quiver. One board for the weak days and the good ones.

MASHUP

The Firewire Mashup is a collaboration between Rob Machado and Dan Mann — a board built by merging the best elements of two of their most celebrated designs, the Seaside and the Spitfire. The result is a hybrid shortboard that generates effortless speed in weak surf while holding up to real turns in better waves.

WHO

The Mashup is for surfers who want one board that works when the waves don't — and still delivers when they do.

  • The intermediate surfer who's outgrown their fish but doesn't always have the power to push a standard shortboard
  • The experienced surfer looking for a dedicated small-wave board that can still handle a good day
  • The shortboarder who wants to stay loose and keep surfing without switching boards between sessions
  • The surfer who rides the Seaside and wants more performance range out of a similar shape
  • The everyday surfer who needs something versatile enough to grab without checking the forecast

This board rewards surfers who prioritize feel and flow over raw performance in critical conditions.

WHEN

The Mashup is built for the everyday — inconsistent, weaker surf where most shortboards go flat. Its generous volume distribution and hybrid outline generate speed early and carry it through soft sections that would stall a higher-performance shape. When conditions pick up to head-high and punchy, the step rails, swallow tail, and double concave bottom give it enough drive and control to hold its line and turn with intention. It's not a step-up, but it handles far more than its groveler label suggests. Hawaii's average day — the kind of surf that comes around more than the good stuff — is exactly where the Mashup earns its place.

WHAT

The Mashup borrows its nose from the Spitfire and its tail from the Seaside, then builds a hybrid rail line that lets those two halves work together. The wide point sits slightly forward of center, giving the board excellent paddle power up front. Step rails in the back third of the board pack in extra volume where you need it without making the outline feel bloated. The double concave runs throughout the bottom and becomes more pronounced from the center to the tail — generating speed early and translating it into responsiveness off the back foot. The swallow tail keeps the back end loose and maneuverable, letting the board pivot and redirect without needing big wave power to do it.

In Helium, the Mashup is light and lively — the parabolic wood rail system creates a loaded, spring-back flex that helps the board come alive in soft, slower surf. In Volcanic, that same core gets basalt fiber lamination, adding stiffness and impact resistance for surfers who prioritize durability without sacrificing too much of that Helium responsiveness.

DIMENSIONS

CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS

Helium: Firewire's lightest EPS core construction — stringerless foam with parabolic Paulownia and Balsa wood rails running the full length of the board, combined with a proprietary composite deck skin. Built for maximum speed generation and lively flex response in everyday surf.

Volcanic: Helium core with basalt fiber lamination in place of standard fiberglass. Basalt is a natural, volcanic rock-derived material with carbon-like strength

FIN CONFIGURATIONS

5-Fin. Rides as thruster, quad, or twin. Fins not included.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 11 reviews.

One of my favorite boards! Works good as a quad and a 2 + 1. Good speed and drive with a good amount of float. It's so good I have 2 5'10"s and 1 6'0"!

Customer video review of Firewire MASHUP 5-Fin (5'2-6'6) Helium 2 Futures

The board is everything I wanted. The staff is always the best. Extremely knowledgeable and will always set you right. They helped me set everything up in the shop so I didn’t have to do it later. And they always give 15% off on accessories. Maholo šŸ¤™šŸ½

Customer video review of Firewire MASHUP 5-Fin (5'2-6'6) Helium 2 Futures

The Mashup is absolutely my favorite board—I actually own two of them, a 5'10" and a 6'0". I’m about 6'0" and weigh between 215 to 220 lbs, and the flotation on both is great. I use the 6'0" (which is around 38 liters) when I want a little more volume for paddling, and I got the 5'10" (which is right around 36 liters) just for a little bit more fun. They surf really good and I love them. I surf out at Sandy's a lot, and I've ridden the board out at Big Rights. I even took it to Tahiti. Typically, I ride them as a thruster setup with AM2 fins, and I’m actually buying a set of Kelly Slater's Endorfins today to try out. It's just a really fun board.

Love the board! Bought it as a small wave groveler. Handled in overhead surf and performed great in small waves. Also the customer service at Hawaiian South Shore is fantastic, fast and friendly! Stoked šŸ¤™

Customer video review of FIREWIRE MASHUP 5-Fin (5'2-6'6) Ibolic with Volcanic Lam White Futures

I rented the Mashup, and it was very, very solid. I usually ride a twin fish, so this was my first take at a more high-performance board. Even though the Mashup is still pretty thick, it is fast. I rode it with a twin plus one setup, but I think it would be pretty mean as a thruster or even a quad, though I haven't tried that yet. I normally ride 33.6 liters on my twin fish, and this one is 32.8 liters. If I got a Dan Mann Mashup, I think I'd probably stick with this volume but ride a different wave. I usually ride mushier waves, and while this board would work, the fish works a little better for that. However, if there was a wave with more face, I think this would be the one. It is very solid for turning. Thank you, guys, I appreciate it.

Customer video review of Firewire MASHUP 5-Fin (5'2-6'6) Helium 2 Futures

Im riding the 5'4 , very fast easy to catch waves and on small waves. It seems a lot more faster just to catch the waves. Thank you

I’ve been slowly transitioning from performance longboards to shortboarding, most recently stepping down from a 9’3ā€ HI4 to a 5’11ā€ Revo. While the Revo was fast and accommodating for timing errors, I felt the need to go a tad bit smaller with a bit more maneuverability, this is where the Mashup made sense. The board allows for a looseness a step above the Revo, perhaps at the expense of some straight line speed. The board paddles exceptionally well, even as it is a couple liters less than my Revo, due to where the meat of the board is located. At 5’8ā€ 175#, I’m using medium futures legacy quads, and it performs delightfully. Definitely recommend this versatile board!

Me: 6'1 , 245lbs Board: Firewire, mash- up, 6'4 x 21 x 3 1/8 This board is everything they say it is. The mash up is fast and snappy. I'm a big guy and it floats me very well. So far I've only surfed it in small mushy waves but it is really fun. I can't wait for a glassy head high dayšŸ’ŖšŸ½šŸ˜Ž. I'd buy it again.

Great small wave daily driver. More high performance than my short-wide grovelers, but still goes in less than optimal conditions. It’s definitely made it’s way to the top of my quiver in usage. The team at HSS is super responsive and makes outer island delivery quick and painless.

Customer photo review of Firewire MASHUP 5-Fin (5'2-6'6) Helium 2 Futures

Added from my previous review….finally rode it in solid 4’ country and to my surprise, it held up exceptionally! It did not slide out and was fast down the line, loose and very maneuverable with the H4 quads. Very happy with this board! šŸ‘šŸ‘

This board is super fun when the waves are on the small side and easily catches waves. It is very responsive and drives very well. I prefer the quad set up and the board does very well in 1-2’ over head conditions. I am happy with my decision to make this my longboard substitute.
