Firewire TimberTek Seaside & Beyond Surfboard by Rob Machado
Words by Rob Machado: 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 footer.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 every where I go.
It glides.It turns on a dime and most importantly… it puts a smile on my face.

About TimberTek Technology:
TIMBERTEK represents a significant step forward towards the holy grail of any product designed and manufactured in today’s environmentally conscious world. While by no means sustainably built, Firewire’s TIMBERTEK has by far one of the least toxic and smallest carbon footprints of any commercially available surfboard today.
The combination of a lightweight EPS core, sustainably-grown Paulownia wood deck skins, Firewire’s proprietary parabolic rail construction, and an Entropy bio-resin hot coat yield an extremely lightweight, durable surfboard with ALL of the high performance flex characteristics of Firewire’s existing technologies.
Even more impressive, the physical properties of the raw materials involved have allowed us to reduce exterior lamination significantly, furthering the reduction of the board’s carbon footprint. Or as we like to describe TIMBERTEK, it’s simply High Performance Art.
Paulownia wood is extremely fast growing; up to 20 feet in one year when young. Some species of plantation Paulownia can be harvested for saw timber in as little as five years. Once the trees are harvested, they regenerate from their existing root systems, earning the name of the “Phoenix tree.”

I have been riding a fish for most of the past year and forgot how much fun a performance shortboard is to ride in good waves. This board is so forgiving and it hides the volume so well its hard to believe it is a high volumed board. I don't see me getting back on the fish anytime soon as I genuinely love what this board has done for my surfing.
