Firewire Rob Machado Go Fish Surfboard Review 198 23

Ian reviews the Firewire Go Fish. The Firewire LFT Go Fish surfboard has been heralded as "the most anticipated LFT shape of 2017", which is eminantly plausable when you set eyes on this latest Rob Machado signature model. Amusingly John Curry, Firewire's customer service head honcho says "When it comes to LFT, If a phone rings or an inbox dings, it’s probably someone asking about a Go Fish."

You guys must hate question like this but I am going to ask it anyway. Firewire categories this board as beginner to expert...............that's pretty broad. Is this correct or should it be more directed to an accomplished surfer. I am a begin/intermdiate surfer but feel my board is restricting my progress (7.6ft mal) as it has been sporadic.. Would it be a good idea to grab some thing like this fish? Thanks in advance

MR. P - 5 years ago

How big was the Board in the Video

Hottuna66 - 6 years ago

I`m 6'1", 205lbs, was wondering what size Go Fish I would need? How much volume?

Bud Baker - 5 years ago

Get in early enough and any thing will work.. unless your at teaphoo

Bud Baker - 5 years ago

How old and what physical shape are you in?

Raul Rojas Villa - 6 years ago

Hiiiii!,, how respond the 509”...thanks....?

Tyler Alexander - 6 years ago

How do these hold in the barrel? Well?

Bud Baker - 5 years ago

Tyler Alexander get in early enough and you can make anything. Unless your claiming Teaphoo

Nick Lynn - 7 years ago

HI Boardshop — you mention (in this review) the 5'9" — Question: Did you wind up surfing that one, and did it feel like the right call, size-wise? Also, what's your weight / height?

Thanks,
Nick

would this be good for waves down here in south Florida? there kinda week.

daniisrael____ - 7 years ago

im 179 cm 80 kg - which sizes shall i get ???? 5,3 or 5,5 ????????

daniisrael____ - 7 years ago

Will it possible to receive on end of September u think ? also what will be the price per each size with futures ?

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Hi, Not until August I am afraid. We sold the first batch in mins, and also sold the July boards. We will list the August boards this week. Its been a very popular board.

daniisrael____ - 7 years ago

Whats the cost of 5.3 and 5.5 ( both with future fins ) and do you already have stock of these ?

daniisrael____ - 7 years ago

Boardshop.co.uk thank u -:)

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Not at 80 kgs in our opinion. But if you are brilliant level in good waves go for it. Cheers

daniisrael____ - 7 years ago

Boardshop.co.uk i am a well advanced surfer - would u think 5.3 could be better ?? I want a responsive fish

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Depends on your ability. 5ft 5 minimum I would say. Cheers

shortyyys - 7 years ago

great review !
How does the go fish compare with the puddle fish by lost ?
Im looking for a board (fishy - grovel) to build a 2 board quiver along with a ci sampler , in order to cover anything from 1- 6 feet .

Bud Baker - 5 years ago

Hello,
thanks for the help , )
I would like to buy Go fish
I am 41 years old and I like the short boards, my board everyday is the Pyzel sure thing in 6 / 33.5 L
I hesitate between 5.9 and 5.11 go fish?
Because you have to surf this shorter board?
Thxxx and good job

Bud Baker - 5 years ago

noutsmaile Don’t hesitate fatty your an old man ... get that foamy under your belly homie ..! More liters brah !

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Hi, please drop us an e- mail directly info@boardshop.co.uk - I am sure we can nail this down for you. Please include where you normally surf etc

Hibbard1986 - 7 years ago

would you ride this more volume then your regular shortboard? or the same volume

Florian Oswald - 6 years ago

I usually surf a 6.0 v3 rocket (33.7) and i took the 5.11 (35L) go Fish. I never had so much fun in my first Session with a Board. It flies down the line and really turns easy. I am a mediocre Surfer and really love the Board.

DJ Anthony - 7 years ago

i had a 56 8 ci fish favorite board i ever had i love retro fish

Boardshop - 7 years ago

A bit more dosent hurt with the Go Fish

DJ Anthony - 7 years ago

i want a 5 5 i would get a 5 5

Hibbard1986 - 7 years ago

so if i normally ride a 5'10 19.5 x 2 3/8 at 29.6 L, probably go with the 5'7? at 31L? I have a 5'8 thats around 30.8 epoxy, i dont think it paddles better than my 5'10 @ 29.6 L

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Slight more

Justin Juner - 7 years ago

What fins? i seen the fcs2 modern keels but they are not listed any place, awesome videos spoken like a gent cheers

Boardshop - 7 years ago

We have gone futures with our first batch for that very reason. Futures have a really good range of twin fins. The board in this vid is a demo.

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Yes...looks amazing.

eng tea - 7 years ago

just picked up the 5'11".

veins46 - 7 years ago

I just got the 5' 9" and I'm 5'8" and weigh 180 lbs. I took it out today on a beach break in 2-3" waves and it paddled fine. It's pretty loose but not as speedy as my Dan Mann boards in the flat sections. Can't wait to ride it in juicier surf.

Hibbard1986 - 7 years ago

what do you weight/ height

Garrett McKeen - 7 years ago

Why LFT and not TimberTek?

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Probably far easier to make initially, especially with the bottom contours of this board

Seb - 7 years ago

yees back to a traditional fish!!! i love rob!!

Rob Arnold Bik - 7 years ago

What kind of fins would you ride it with? Big keels like a retro fish or a more upright template?

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Initially I would go with the retro keels fins. Cheers

MisterBassBoost - 7 years ago

Great! Keep it up!
