Firewire Groove Surfboard

1 review
The Firewire Groove is Rob Machado’s most high-performance shape yet. Designed for waist to overhead waves, it combines a pulled-in squash tail, extra rocker, and Helium construction for lightning-fast responsiveness. It’s built to surf rail to rail in punchy waves but adapts well to weaker days too. Perfect for UK conditions, it blends paddle power with proper top-to-bottom surfing.

From the shaper

Thinned out the foil, narrowed the tail block. Added a cute little squash tail. And much more rocker than I've been riding the last several years. I tapped into all my performance DNA that was in my shapes in the 90s, and added sprinkles of my recent design work, making surfboards that are fast, floaty and fun in all conditions.

Why surfers love the Firewire Groove

1. Built for Speed, Tuned for Control
More rocker than Rob’s usual shapes means this board isn’t just about flow, it’s about throwing buckets too. The pulled-in squash tail and foiled rails give you control when it matters most, whether you’re wrapping cutbacks or going vertical.

2. Hybrid DNA, High-Performance Soul
Inspired by hybrids, engineered for performance. The Groove blends extra foam up front (for paddle power and forgiveness) with a refined tail that’ll let you surf tight in the pocket when the waves turn on.

3. Small Wave Weapon, Serious Surf Capable
Designed for waist to overhead surf, the Groove’s deeper concaves and Vee out the tail make it fast, lively, and ready for real turns. It’s not a groveller, it’s a performance board that just happens to go well in average conditions too.

4. Helium Construction = Speed + Durability
Firewire’s Helium tech is lightweight, tough, and full of life. With aerospace composite deck skins and parabolic rail flex, the board stays quick, responsive and durable, session after session.

How to Size the Firewire Groove

Size it close to your daily driver, maybe an inch or two shorter if you're used to hybrids. The wide front half boosts paddling, while the refined tail and foil keep it performance-focused. Pair it with Rob’s new Groove Fin Set for top-level control, or run it as a 2+1 for added spark in smaller conditions.

Groove on!
Always a great experience buying from Boardshop, additionally great with the trade in service, unlike other retailers you have lots of options and feel valued whether you buy over the net or in person.

Board feels great, surf conditions haven't been wonderful since I've had the board, heading to France for a month soon and planning to ride it daily!
