Seaside is a lot of fun. Just surfed it in 2’ plus overhead beach break. Couple times it got drifting dropping in but that was because I didn’t get my rear foot back far enough. After I adjusted sooo good.

Brother, where are you surfing in these clips? Great style, speed and flow.

Anyone saying that Rob does not matter and this board shape is even older than Rob?
Why is everyone up on the Nob of Rob?
$ maybe?

dirk diggler - 5 years ago

god bless america and capitalism for fucking us up the ass!

Hey Noel, did you ever try medium quad sets on this board. Since the bottom contours are a board eat board style, and you found that medium vs large fins made the moonbean magic, I wondered if that same logic would apply to the seaside.

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

Mark C No I didn’t try a Medium set. My thoughts to try that with the Moonbeam because the board felt a little sticky with a large set, so I went Medium and it fixed that.

This Seaside never felt sticky unless I was overpowering it in my turns. Just pushing too hard. The Large fins felt great... I am sure a good set of Mediums will go pretty good too.

Hey Noel ! I LOVE yours reviews ...... So i ve bought a Seaside Firewire and a Holy Grail HS after your review about it .
A question for you : Split keels could work on the Seaside ? (i ve used it on my Chumlee firewire )

I cant wait my seaside !!! i would receive it in March ...

samsstreets - 5 years ago

How would you compare the seaside to your chumlee?

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

Papy Slater Yes... I would try your Split Keels in your Seaside. That board is very versatile with fins.

Didymostruespeak - 5 years ago

what a moneymaker first they sell you a board for 800 to 900 bucks! then they charge you .
a 130$ more for the fins to the board. wow!!!so the idea is that you work 50 hours a week to make enough money to buy these things so you can surf one hour a week LOL

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

Didymostruespeak Good conversation!! Cheers

Didymostruespeak - 5 years ago

@Surf n Show Reviews . Okay I'll tell you that's what I ride is a FireWire Spitfire bought used it's a good board.

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

Didymostruespeak True... but one thing to be said about a Firewire if we’re comparing Surfboards to cars.... they are way more durable then your typical PU or EPS constructions that are in the market today. So the resale value stays high and the quality of life still left in the board for the next surfer is excellent. I am a huge fan of buying used boards... that’s how I got my liters dialed roughly 5 years ago. It would have cost me a small fortune buying new boards to find out what liters and DIMS float me best. I was on Craigslist hunting used boards daily trying to work it out. I am a fan of buying used quality fins too.

Didymostruespeak - 5 years ago

Surfing equipment is unnecessarily expensive. Used boards are easy enough to get. in the $400 to $300 range .because just like cars surfboards lose their value soon as you drive them off the lot...but as the surfboards get more expensive and the trips get more expensive .surfing turns into a sport of elitist returning to the sport of Kings. but not. Because there are no Kings and I never did believe in royalty

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

Didymostruespeak Surfing equipment is expensive... but once you have it the beach is free. Unlike Golf, Snowboarding... etc. those sports are expensive + green fees, or lift tickets. Just saying...

FREEDOMEDIA - 5 years ago

Noel, stoked you're pumping these reviews out, especially the new Seaside! Have you surfed it in larger surf? Wondering how it'll do in overhead to double overhead? I saw Rob surf it at a tad overhead perfect Chopes but that's self explanatory. Also, just a filming tip, get your guy on a video monopod for those longer takes. The Manfrotto 561BHDV1 is what we use. Cheers

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

samsstreets Up to 6’... double overhead is a bit much for this little board.

samsstreets - 5 years ago

@Surf n Show Reviews 6 foot head high or 6 foot double overhead?!

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

FREEDOMEDIA Stoked thanks for the tip in video gear! I surfed a bit overhead as a Quad and it goes good. I think it will handle up too 6’.

Hey Nole, I live in the Sunset Cliffs Ocean Beach area and I have my mother's original 5'6 Lis fish. I'd like to invite you to come down to Newbreak and go for a surf on it. The only rule is you have to surf it like a twin fin not snap under the lips no reverses, no airs. Just good old speed and rail2rail carving and tubes. If you are interested hit me back on the comment will put it together film it

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

Brandon Lane - 5 years ago

@Surf n Show Reviews Hey Noel I am 5'11" and 170lbs. I have a lost PJ 5.5 -- 31.44CL (PU) that I love, and I am looking at the Seaside at 5'4" 29.8 L or 5'5" 31.5L. Because of the EPS, i am thinking the 5.4 as the extra float gets me up more around the feel of a 30ish CL board. I am in good shape and surf often. I surf local around here Pink House, Creek mostly, and sometimes Barbed Wires, Cottons or Uppers. What do you think? Thanks for all of the great info and reviews! Keep it up!
