The Firewire Groove is the most responsive and high-performance board Rob Machado has ever designed.
The Groove blends Rob’s classic hybrid DNA with a more aggressive approach, creating a highly maneuverable and versatile board, perfect for those looking to take their surfing to the next level.
✔️ Elevated nose and tail rocker for maximum control in critical sections
✔️ Refined squash tail for tight turns and precision
✔️ Wider outline up front for easier paddling
✔️ Designed for powerful waves, from waist to overhead
✔️ Performs well in weaker waves, though not a groveler
✔️ Works with Thruster and Quad setups
Rob says:
"The Groove is about controlling the speed a good wave gives you, allowing you to surf with power and precision. It’s by far the highest-performance design I’ve ever made."
For best performance, pair it with the Machado Groove Fin Set, and try the 2 + 1 setup for smaller surf.
HE (Helium) Epoxy Construction:
Firewire's HELIUM construction is comprised of an incredibly lightweight EPS foam core, weighing in at just 0.8lb density, along with a balsa and paulownia wood edge. The epoxy sandwich offers incredible durability and weight.
