Firewire Volcanic Helium Seaside 5’11” Futures Surfboard

Just evolving the Go Fish to something new, really. The Go Fish goes fast and feels skatey and loose and Rob love it, and riding it for a couple years made Rob Machado 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. Volcanic Tech is made from Basalt Fibres extruded from volcanic rocks that are crushed, melted and extruded into woven fibres that make up the cloth layers that wrap around the board. The cloth features similar characteristics to carbon in regard to strength and weight however, being constructed from natural organic materials, it is a better degradable ECO alternative than traditional carbon fibre cloth. Basalt fibres have better strength characteristics than traditional glass fibres, and unlike most glass fibres is highly resistant to alkaline, acidic and salt corrosion. Basalt fibres also have more flex than traditional Carbon fibre, allowing the board to have more flex for a natural feel under foot.
