Rob Machado’s Firewire new offering, the Too Fish twinny looks like a whole load of fun. Remember the Go Fish? The Too Fish is a great step forward in performance and pure surfing enjoyment.
The Go Fish has been resurrected and improved upon, gone is the ‘board eat board’ concave set up and it now has a super smooth progressive concave through the base. Starting from the nose the board is flat and then runs into a gentle concave which accelerates just where the Machado logo is on the base, it then gets pretty deep and crazy through to the fins. The new shape is about speed and performance with control, and its feels amazing as you run your hand down the board. The vee through the tips of the swallow tail is still there, the whole concept here is about moving water smoothly under the board creating a better ride. The fin positioning is pushed out to compliment the concave set up allowing the board to flow from rail to rail more easily.
No doubt Machado will be seen ripping on this board, going vertical etc but for the mere mortal surfer it’s a fast, smooth surfing board that will beat those problem sections and on the rail will fly through turns. The plan shape makes wave catching pretty straight forward, all that surface area up front and under your chest will generate paddle speed right from the off.
Machado has also designed bespoke fins to work with this board with Slater’s Endorfin brand. The fins are built using bamboo and then laminated with resin made from recycled plastic all encasing an ultra light foam core. Ingeniously the fin is called the ‘Too Fish Keel’ and is Machado’s fastest, lightest and most performance driven twin fin to date. He describes the fins as “loose, lively and drivey for all round flow” sounds ideal for the Too Fish!
The Volcanic tech combined with the now familiar Helium set up is a brilliant step forward in terms of performance but also has a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional surfboard builds.
Volcanic Tech is made from Basalt Fibres Extruded from Volcanic rocks. The rocks are crushed, melted and extruded into woven fibres that make up the cloth. The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles to produce continuous filaments of basalt fibre. The filaments are then cut into long stem fibres and woven into lamination cloth fibre. The cloth has similar characteristics to carbon as it relates to strength and weight however because the fibres are derived from Organic Raw materials, when combined with Bio Resins it serves as better degradable ECO alternative than using traditional carbon fibre cloth.
