Stoked for travel review Looking for a super fun mid length board? Well here’s there full review of the Firewire Seaside and Beyond designed by Rob Machado The Firewire Seaside and Beyond is the evolution of the super popular Firewire Seaside – one of the best selling surfboards on the market.

Who’s It For?

Much like the original Seaside with its high volume, easy to paddle shape – the Firewire Seaside and Beyond is also suitable for a huge variety of surfers, from high end beginners and upwards.

For lower level surfers the extra length gives you a lot of paddle power and volume underneath you, making it a forgiving outline, but still with plenty of performance as you start pushing your turns.

Which is also the big draw of this length and shape for intermediates too – pushing turns and also being on a board that can handle bigger conditions too.

For advanced surfers the Seaside and Beyond offer some epic mid length fun and is another awesome addition to any quiver.

Firewire MACHADOs self evaluation on his Seaside & beyond

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 footer. 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. I rode it in everything. Super small days, bigger days and everything in between. It’s become a board that I will take with me everywhere I go.

It glides. It turns on a dime and most importantly... it puts a smile on my face.
