Rob Machado's thoughts on the Seaside & Beyond highlight its versatility and performance. Machado reflects on his journey experimenting with longer, fish-style boards, inspired by Skip Frye's 7-foot fishes. This exploration led him to stretch out the Go Fish into a 7'0" model, which spurred further innovation. The 7'0" Seaside emerged as one of his favorite boards, proving its adaptability across various conditions—from small, mellow days to more substantial swells.
Machado praises the Seaside & Beyond for its exceptional glide, sharp turning capabilities, and the sheer joy it brings to his surfing experience. It’s a board he values for its ability to perform well in diverse surf conditions and for consistently putting a smile on his face.
