Firewire Machado Sunday Surfboard Review In 3-5 ft Waves

In this episode, I review Firewire Sunday designed by Rob Machado surfing in much better conditions - 3-5 ft East Coast size waves.

Last weekend, we got lucky on the East Coast and received a long period swell from Tropical Storm Ana.

I didn’t get a chance to ride Firewire Sunday at the peak of the swell. However I got out the next day on Sunday and Rob Machado would probably do the same.

I had one session on MR Twin Fin Set and the other one was on a 7” True Ames single fin.

I personally liked both fin setups but after surfing this swell, I think I love the single fin setup more and I will talk about that in this episode.

The twin fin setup gives me great speed down the line, sometimes it’s even too much and it surprisingly has a great hold through the turns. It doesn't slide off.

After putting more time into Sunday, I’m pretty happy that I finally dialed the take off game and was able to score a lot of inside waves that nobody could catch or wanted to.

After testing Firewire Sunday in pretty much all conditions, I started to love it more. It definitely opened up more options to ride this board especially as a single fin. But I don’t think any other fins would make any significant difference for changing performance for this board.

Enjoy this episode!
