Firewire Go Fish Surfboard (LFT)

Designed by Rob Machado, the Firewire Go Fish is a highly maneuverable board with heaps of drive.. Taking the retro fish style to the next level!

When you first cast your eye over the Go Fish, you'll see the essence of a retro fish design, but look closer and there's so much more to it. Rob has narrowed the swallow tail to create extra maneuverabilty and pulled the nose in for a speedier outline.  A low entry rocker and a subtle tail rocker gives theis board some real "up and go" and gives it full top end speed potential.

The bottom contours are inspired by a George Greenough board that Rob has surfed and loved, with some refinement. It now features a really flat bottom concave that runs down the center all the way through the tail. The two side panels run down each rail on either side of the center panel, and transition from concave to flat to Vee while maintaining the deep single concave down the middle.

 The Go Fish from Rob Machado and Firewire is so much fun to ride! Rob says it perfectly here:-

 "This board just makes me want to surf… no matter what the waves are like. It flies in small to weak waves, and if its overhead and pumping it draws unique lines, allowing me to approach waves differently and explore new lines"

LFT - Linear Flex Technology - A fibreglass and epoxy sandwich with an EPS core and Firewire's new Springer HD...  a 0.75” (18 mm) wide aerospace composite that runs down the centre-line of the board, representing the next generation in their 'Springer' technology. Unlike the original balsa Springer build, which only added stiffness under the front foot, the Springer HD runs the entire length of the board and plays a pivotal role in optimizing flex from nose to tail.
