Firewire Machado Seaside 5'9" Surfboard
The Firewire Machado Seaside 5'9" is a fast, flowing performance fish designed for surfers who want easy speed, strong paddle power, and a lively feel underfoot. Measuring 5'9" x 22 1/4" x 2 5/8" with 37.3 liters of volume, this size strikes a great balance between flotation, maneuverability, and quick acceleration.
Designed by Rob Machado, the Seaside blends classic fish-inspired speed with a more refined, responsive approach. The wide outline and generous volume help the board paddle efficiently, catch waves early, and carry momentum through softer sections, while the shorter length keeps it quick and playful through turns.
The Futures quad fin setup complements the Seaside's speed-focused design by providing drive and hold without the drag of a center fin. This configuration helps the board accelerate quickly down the line, maintain speed through flatter sections, and project smoothly through flowing turns.
