The Rob Machado Seaside is a high-performance quad surfboard designed for speed, responsiveness, and precise turns. Evolving from Machado’s iconic Go Fish, the Seaside refines the classic fish-style feel with a narrower tail, more tapered swallow tips, and a slightly refined nose for enhanced carves and tighter turns, making it ideal for surfers seeking a playful yet high-performance small-wave board.
Built with a lightweight Helium Core and fiberglass lamination, the Seaside is highly responsive, flexy, and durable. Its quad fin setup is strictly designed around the board’s concave bottom contours, giving smooth rail-to-rail transitions, excellent drive, and fluid acceleration. With a focus on small to medium beach breaks and point breaks, the Seaside delivers effortless paddle power, early wave entry, and a fun, skatey ride while still maintaining the control needed for performance turns.
