Firewire "Machadocado vs. Seaside: Surfboard Showdown – Which One's Right for You?"

In this episode, Noel Salas and Asa Cascavilla put the new "Machadocado" and the "Seaside" surfboard head-to-head. If you're deciding between these two boards, this review breaks down their differences. Both surfboards are stock 5'2 models with hybrid outlines that balance sensitivity and speed, perfect for precise, fluid turns. The squash tails deliver impressive down-the-line speed.

Noel felt the "Machadocado" was slightly faster with quicker pivoting, while the "Seaside" excelled in carving and holding strong through turns. Asa initially rode the "Seaside" as a quad, noting its strong pivot, but when he switched to a twin fin setup, the board became noticeably looser with a whole new feel.

Noel’s takeaway? Don’t hesitate to experiment with fin setups for a fresh experience with your board. Enjoy the comparison!
