How it surfs
Surfex is a surfboard aggregator and does not personally test or ride the boards featured on this site. The information here is drawn from the Firewire product page and from retailer listings verified via Firecrawl, and should not be read as a first-person ride report.
The YouTube reviews below are real, independently published videos about the Seaside & Beyond. The 6-month review and the Thunderbolt Red mid-length video both provide hands-on ride impressions from actual owners and reviewers.
MSRP on the Firewire US site is $1,255. Surf Station listed sizes from $1,025, suggesting smaller sizes carry a lower price. Check current retailer listings for live stock and pricing.

Verdict
The Firewire Seaside & Beyond is Rob Machado's Skip Frye-inspired mid-length fish, available at $1,255 MSRP in Helium Core / Volcanic Repreve construction. The 6'8" model is confirmed at 40.9 L. It is stocked at major US dealers including Surf Station (from $1,025), Catalyst Shop and REAL Watersports. Because Surfex does not personally test boards, we recommend watching the four YouTube reviews below and visiting the Firewire product page for the full current size chart.
