Machado Firewire Moonbeam Surfboard

Machado Moonbeam. In great condition! Fun fishy template with plenty of volume No dings, just a bit of yellowing that these models of firewires naturally get a bit of. Still rips! Rob Machado designed this shape while thinking of small, and weak waves; “The kind of waves I ride a lot here in San Diego, or an average day in Japan.” he says. I gave the Moonbeam a nice and wide nose, like The Midas for skatiness in small waves but raised the nose rocker above what you’d expect in a small wave design, creating an opportunity to cut sharp angles on the Moonbeam without hanging up the nose. Fans of performance surfing will appreciate the high tail rocker as well, creating a feeling under foot almost as responsive in regards to quick direction changes as The Midas is. When deciding between this shape and The Midas, most surfers should consider that the Moonbeam will generate forward speed more easily and feel most at home in smaller waves where it creates its own speed easily. The Midas, however, will feel most natural in rounder waves where it easily controls the speed that powerful waves provide. The Moonbeam is meant to go fast and have fun! This board is available in epoxy or epoly using an eco epoxy resin.
