Firewire Mashup - Helium - White - Futures (5 fin setup)
MODEL OVERVIEW:
Two minds combined. Rob Machado and Dan Mann have created the Mashup: a melding of each of their most popular designs, the Seaside and the Spitfire.
Both board designers have spent time mixing and matching their favorite elements of each shape, and they’ve landed at something that goes fast in weak waves as well as a Seaside, and also drives vertically in good waves as well as the Spitfire. The Mashup is the ultimate groveler you'll never want to take out of your trunk.
WAVE TYPE:
With DNA from the Seaside and Spitfire, the Mashup goes fast in weak waves, but also drives vertically in good waves - a true everyday hybrid. Recommended in 1-5' surf, skewing towards average-to-poor/flat conditions.
BOARD FEATURES:
This shape immediately makes you feel like you've got speed and buoyancy to burn. A hybrid nose that keeps plenty of paddle up front, with step rails towards the back third of the shape to pack in extra volume. A double concave runs throughout the bottom, becoming more extreme from the center to the tail.
TECHNOLOGY:
HELIUM CORE TECHNOLOGY
A stringerless EPS core with flex controlled at the rails made from Paulownia and Balsa wood - this construction is light and lively underfoot, and excellent at generating speed in everyday waves.
