@freeride76 As an astute observer (imo) of surfing talent...how do you think said ghosts were performing under the feet of the riders?
Yeah, I totally agree. It does look that way. When I got my first one, I was like "Holy fvck! I'm gonna surf like even more of a kook on this!" as it looks so weird and complicated. But it actually feels totally balanced and natural, and it helps me do the little things (turns, gaining speed, projection and drive) all a bit easier, smoother and faster. You should try one! Then you'd know what I'm talking about and you'd have a leg to stand on.

I, personally, can’t wait to try one of these! I’ve never had a volcanic and the tech seemed similar to dark arts. As many surfboards as you have it’s surprising that you’re not curious about a volcanic tech?You guys are missing the point. Who else is building….AND more importantly, marketing boards made out of volcano residue?!?! Now THAT is worth the extra coin as it will undoubtedly improve your surf abilities…or lack thereof. Latest marketing lingo is that they’re “forged in fire” - see below if you want a laugh

The sell is the shape. You can a board from a shaper you like (Tomo, Machado, Ðåñ Mann) with no wait time and in a couple different tech options. Then throw in the fact that surfers you love to watch surf are riding them and making them look so fun. Plus, the resale value is still pretty high. It’s a ”no brainer”.
Good resale value. Popular brand. Available immediately. It’s proven that people are willing to pay a little more for convenience.
reforest u seem like a cool guy but ur being taken hook line and sinker by fireturd marketing bs
Can we at least all agree that machado is not a shaper
I’ve never bought a FireWire, and don’t think I ever will… but I’ve fondled a few Machado ones. They have an insanely bladed out tail that I don’t see anyone else doing. Dan Mann has a name for it that I can’t recall. And I have wondered if their construction allows them to go extra thin like that.
is the leash string glassed into the board?$1200 Squit

"Hey my name is Rob Machado, stoked you're here and that we're able to share the stoke. Ever since coming off tour I have found pleasure in the simple things like riding fun boards with great people in beautiful places. Here at "Rob Machado Surfboards," you will find an array of my favorite shapes. Most of my boards are made from epoxy foam and glassed with e-polly resin. With the help from my sponsor, Firewire I have been able to continue to be a professional surfer and now a shaper / designer. All "Rob Machado Surfboards," are hand touched by me personally. I hope you find one or a few you enjoy, I am pleased to be able to create these fun sleds and share the stoke."
FW fans let’s just agree to disagree.
On the Basalt/Volcanic tech. One of the regulars has an El Tomo second hand from another regular at my usual town spot. He surfs it well but not noticeably better than any of the locally made boars he rides. He cracked a fin box and had to let it dry out for over a month before repairing it. Bruce was going to take it to reoair after a month and noticed dried salt along the crack. Had to let it dry a couple more weeks.
Concerning my midlength I’ve been riding. My BIL came out with a Vesso demo Kerry Tokoro let him sample. I caught 3 waves on it and knew I liked it and what I would adjust. Put in an order and Kerry called me. I asked him to make it a 6’6 instead of a 6’9. Pull in the nose. Adjust fin placement so I could surf it as a dedicated twin without a third box like the demo had. Got it sprayed green too. None of those things are available with a pop out. Except you can spray green over the finished boar, which shouldn’t affect the boars performance unlike the adjustments I asked Kerry for. Boar works great. Got an epic barrel on it this past swell. It was less expensive than an OTR FW/SD boar too.
There’s no argument that would ever change my position on supporting a locally made custom boar over a mass produced overseas boar. But live your own life.
