FIREWIRE Seaside and Beyond (6'8-7'4) Volcanic Repreve Futures

The Seaside and Beyond is the brainchild of surf icon Rob Machado and the innovative team at Firewire Surfboards. Inspired by legendary Southern California surf icon and shaper Skip Frye, Machado developed this Mid-length fish shape to create a versatile board that could handle a wide range of conditions while minimizing environmental impact.

In Rob's own words: "I've really been wanting to play around with some longer fishy kind of boards for a while now... Ever since I spent some time with Skip Frye and he showed me some of his fishes in the 7 foot range It's been on my mind. I first stretched out the Go Fish and made a 7'0". It worked great and really got my mind spinning. Then I made a 7'0" Seaside and it became one of my favorite boards in my quiver."

Key Features That Set the Seaside and Beyond Apart

Repreve Fiber Technology

• Enhanced Strength and Flexibility: Repreve fibers provide exceptional strength and flexibility, making the basalt cloth lamination comparable to traditional carbon fiber in performance.
• Sustainable Innovation: Each surfboard transforms recycled plastic bottles into high-performance, sustainable products, helping to divert plastic from oceans and landfills.
• Superior Resistance: The basalt fibers offer excellent resistance to alkaline, acidic, and saltwater conditions, ensuring longevity and durability in diverse environments.
• Cooling Properties: The lamination process includes vacuum bagging with white polymer pigments, helping to keep the boards cooler in direct sunlight compared to traditional black carbon laminations.

Why Choose the Seaside and Beyond?

1. Unmatched Performance: The combination of Helium core and Volcanic Repreve lamination provides an ultra-responsive ride with optimal flex control.
2. Versatility: As Rob says, "It glides. It turns on a dime and most importantly, it puts a smile on my face."
3. Sustainability: Each surfboard transforms recycled plastic bottles into high-performance, sustainable products.
4. Durability: The basalt fiber and Repreve construction ensures your investment lasts longer, withstanding the rigors of regular use in various water conditions.

Helium Core and Volcanic Repreve Lamination: A Technological Marvel

At the heart of the Seaside and Beyond's innovation lies its unique construction:

1. Helium Core: This ultralight core material significantly reduces the board's weight without compromising strength or flex.
2. Volcanic Repreve Lamination: This eco-friendly lamination process incorporates basalt fibers (Volcanic Tech) and Repreve fibers made from recycled plastic bottles.
