Hi , please could you tell me what is the exact model of Machado's fins we can see in the last images of the video at the Ranch ? Thanks a lot , Choucas ;

I know the seaside is not supposed to be ridden oversized. Can you size up the mashup? I surf some awkward mushy waves that are much more fun with boards 10 liters more than my shortboard. my shortboards are 25-26. I ride a 5'8 34 liter quadfish and a 5'5 chumlee at 32 liters and love it. I'm looking for something that sits between length and design wise. Would a 5'7 or 5'8 mashup work? I'm 177cm and 67 kilos. Thank you

looking to get one but not sure about the Vol I need, I have a 30L dominator2, which felt kind of slightly big (I'm 6.0, 170), but I'm totally new to firewire & the dominator, so it might be the fact that I'm not use to it, any advise? what's Dan's Dims(W,H), I think I heard him saying he has 34L boards, does he like it as quad or thruster? Tnx!!

I feel like if you gave rob a door knob to ride it would still look as smooth and effort less as this

I have a Seaside and I have a Dominator 2. What I’m finding is the Dom hardly gets used because of the range of the Seaside and the waves we get (Cornwall UK). I could use the Dom and it would go well, but I like the forgiveness and speed of the Seaside. Do I sell the Dom and get the Mashup instead, so it will get more use? Also, please give Dan a kick up the arse and get him to design the Chumlee 2. One of my favourite boards ever!

Patients is a virtue… So I’m ready when you are 🔥🤙😎

I've been riding a 5'5 seaside almost every day the past couple months. love it! Should I get a mashup the same volume as my seaside (31.5L) or volume up or volume down? Also, I've been wondering, what 31.5L in Helium technology roughly translates to literate in PU? Thanks for the answers, you guys rock!

@firewiresurfboards

Same volume as your Seaside or slightly more. It's better to hit slightly more volume with the Mashup than slightly less. When it comes to Helium volume related to PU volume, they translate perfectly.

@firewire surfboards Why did you move the leash plug? The board Dan Mann is showing has the plug in the center, but the one’s I’ve been seeing for pre-order have it either on the left or right pin tail…

@firewiresurfboards

2 жыл бұрын

We decided to place the leash plug in the center to accommodate many traction pads that have a crescent cutout in the tail kick, allowing the tail kick to fit around the leash plug. Also, if your pad does not have a crescent cutout, it's easy to cut one with an x-acto knife, easier than cutting a section of your pad out on either side of the tail kick.

I love my mash up

Looks amazing! I love my seaside and it's been treating me super well for the last year +. Would this be able to handle a little bigger surf than the seaside with the extra rocker and little bit more length? Thanks a bunch for puttin out the good stuff!

@firewiresurfboards

2 жыл бұрын

Yes. Also, the Mashup has a wider range of functionality in powerful surf because of the way the rail thins out through the tail, and the way the foil just generally thins out in the back third of the board in alignment with the added rocker. Between a Mashup and a Seaside you're dialed in weak to powerful waves from two to six or seven foot waves.

You should ride it at your normal volume or slightly higher. The extra volume forward coupled with the thinned out rail in the tail lets you size it up without sacrificing performance in the pocket and during turns.

The fins in the last shot are Rob Machado's Tri-Keel set from FCS. They just don't have the same color scheme as the ones at Surf Shops.

Is the fin placement more similar to the seaside (favors split keels or flat foil quads sets) or the dominator 2 (80/20 foil for rears)?

More similar to the Dominator 2. The outline, tail shape, and volume foiled from nose to tail came from the Seaside, the rocker, concave and fin configuration came from the Dominator.

@@firewiresurfboards Finally got one! The board surfs way better than I thought it would in overhead waves. It seems to work well with a variety of fin configurations too which is something that I've never experienced on any other board. This one will stay in my quiver for a long time.

G'day Dan After about 8 years away from surfing following lower back surgery, I have returned to the sport I love since starting at age 10. I've started back on HI Mid 6 boards, a 7'0'" (40 litres) and 7'6" (48 litres) to get up onto waves quicker, as I'm a bit slower to pop-up now, and getting older haha. I'm really loving the 7'6". I am 55 years of age, 5'11" tall and weigh 180-185lbs. I want to add a shorter board to my quiver. I am tossing up between the Mashup and the Dominator 2.0. Although starting over again, I would rate myself now as intermediate, but need a little extra foam to get on waves quicker. I generally surf beach breaks anywhere from knee to head high. Would you recommend the Mashup over the Dom 2? I have ruled out the Seaside as a 3rd option because I would like the option of having tri or quad set-up. Also, I am considering the Revo as an outside 4th option contender. Interested in your thoughts. Cheers, Marty

@foxgd9117

Go for mashup or revo. Both good for catching waves than the dominator 2 as it has its low point further down for pivoting

surfing many waves that are not too big, but fast and often closeout, do you think that the mashup could still be a better choice or maybe the D2 remains the best choice? intermediate level, thanks

@firewiresurfboards

2 жыл бұрын

Both boards are great, but closeouts are hard to surf on any board. If the waves are fast and punchy, the Mashup is likely the best call because the rail is foiled so thin, and the tail is so thin. This helps the shape hold in the face of fast, round waves.

There's actually not much similarity between the Mashup and the No Brainer. They both have swallow tails, but the wide point, rocker, concave and fin clusters are totally different. So is the volume distribution through the plan shape and the foil from nose to tail. Both are fun boards, but the Mashup is more versatile across many different conditions, and overall enables more performance and progression than the No Brainer, without sacrificing speed and paddling.

Why put the widest point up above half way? Because you are always concentrating on small and light guys (JJ's boards are custom made for him) you can put the wide point up front on a tiny board with very small litres. For bigger guys, you put the widest point up front and the board just bogs like the 70s, unless the waves are good. See what you are saying? You ride a 5'11" Mashup. That is tiny for normal sized males. No good.
