Rob Machado on the 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 7’0″. 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.”

One of Rob’s most popular midlength shapes because of its versatility, this board is tons of small in just about any conditions. From micro days you might not consider surfing, to bigger days when the waves are more solid, to everything in between, the Seaside & Beyond has become a favorite in our quiver. Recommended in 1-5′ surf, skewing towards poor to average conditions.

A brainchild of Rob Machado, this longer fishy outline is not only pleasing to the eye, but also performs. It takes cues from his Go Fish and Seaside models, and was inspired by legendary Southern California surf icon and shaper Skip Frye.
