Firewire Mashup vs Groove | Round One – Surprising Result

Firewire Mashup vs Groove | Round One – Surprising Result A head-to-head test between two Rob Machado shapes: the Firewire Groove and the Mashup (co-designed with Dan Mann). Both boards were surfed in clean 3-foot waves, each with the fin setup I prefer — Groove as a thruster, Mashup as a quad. I’ve tested the Mashup before, but it never really clicked with me… until now. In this session, the Mashup felt faster and more alive. It surprised me. I’m not saying it’s the final verdict — just sharing what I felt in this round. More to come. I used the fin setups I prefer on each surfboard. I felt that was more fair. If you're 40+ and unsure whether you're riding the right board, I’ve put together a free Surfboard Buyer’s Guide covering volume, shapes and fin setups for mature surfers.
