Watch Professional surfer Sterling Spencer ride and review Rob Machado's new model "The MoonBeam" by Firewire Surfboards
Rob Machado designed this LFT 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.
Anyone who is familiar with The Midas will notice the Moonbeam’s similar nose template.
Why is it similar? “I gave the Moonbeam a nice and wide nose, like The Midas for skatiness in small waves.” says Rob. But his ever present place in surfing illustrates the importance of surfing up and down in the pocket. To allow that on the Moonbeam, Rob 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” says Rob.
Like every shape Rob is surfing in 2018, The Moonbeam has Rob’s Board Eat Board concave built into its hull - this is Rob’s uncommon approach to enhancing speed without losing responsiveness, and it draws much intrigue on surf shop racks. - Sport
This is pure gold!!!
I remember when his dad would take him out religiously when the surf was up... Pun intended!
Great guy and so is Sterling. How's Yancy Jr been, it's been a long time?!
Yes, the channels! I expected them to be hype or marketing flare, but the exceptional speed in all areas of the wave was notable. Yet, it was still possible to rein it in with cutbacks, which I normally find difficult on anything fishy. I bought it for the slow fat, flat, longboard waves in my hood. It makes them shreddable.
Hey I’m local to the area.. it’s kinda hard to tell sometimes in reviews what size waves they’re actually talking about.. mainly because our chest to Head isn’t really the same as other people’s.. haha in gulf coast terms what size waves do you think this board holds best in. Also does it hold in say something as big as like the average ts and hurricane swells we get?
At start of video was he playing Walk Hard by Dewey Cox?
*Feelin fine* 👌
So cool
Whats the song at the end of the video?
Too funny, friggin classic. I think you're the actor in the family.
I know I am pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
@Aries Gregory I would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Mustafa Merrick yup, I've been using flixzone for since march myself :D
@Mustafa Merrick Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !
@Aries Gregory Happy to help :)
What size Moonbeam was he riding???
@allenbriley I would say its a 5'8 as Ive got the 5'10 and it looks to be a bit shorter than mine but not as short as the 5'6 - this board was released with 2" length differences
I didn't wanna do airs but then when I was in the air.. i was like.. I didn't want land and I was landing it and my hair just grew out...like it was crazy...
Machados best selling board is the Go Fish. Haven’t heard or seen anyone riding his boards, besides videos like this.
I would love to see Kelly try to ride that board..........besides Machado.........Sterling is the greatest surfer ever......no lie......I wouldn’t lie......well maybe once.......
