GROOVE

The groove is an exploration back into the world of a high performance thruster but with an outline twist, giving you some width and thickness up front for extra paddle-ability but giving you a nice pulled in squash tail for high performance shred-ability.

Machado designed it for waves with a bit of push and power. Waist high to overhead. But it goes great in weak waves too, just wouldn't go as far as calling it a groveler.

To tap back into old school high performance days, Groove Thruster set is a must. To add a bit of a twist in smaller surf, you can run it with Machado 2+1 template.

Firewire surfboards can be ordered from FIREWIRE HQ.
