HEY ROB - WHAT IS THE SEASIDE?
​
Just evolving from the Go Fish to something new, really. The Go Fish goes fast and feels skatey and loose and I love it, and riding it for a couple of years made me want to feel more high performance - more carves, tighter turns. So the Seaside is about refining...less area in the tail, narrowing the nose, all elements for ripping while the Go Fish stays cruisey and fun
​
THE SEASIDE IS QUAD ONLY - WHY?
​
I decided that if I was going to make a quad I would make a quad that's strictly a quad...design the concaves and bottom contours around that. I actually redesigned my entire concave set up that I've been using on the Moonbeam and Go Fish, and did it with the quad setup in mind so that it all works together.
​
WHY THE SEASIDE BUILT IN HELIUM?
​
The first one I made for Tahiti was LFT and I was riding it in 6 foot tubes. But almost everyone surfs a shape like the seaside at beach breaks and little point breaks, so we made it Helium because it's really light, very responsive, really flexy with a softer feel and very durable. Its the best option for a shape like the Seaside in smaller, weaker waves, I think.
