Firewire Groove Helium Surfboard 5'9 32.5L — Rob Machado's highest-performance shape, combining elevated rocker and a narrowed squash tail for surfers ready to push their surfing in critical conditions.

Designed as a departure from Rob's versatile, flow-oriented shapes, the Groove is built for performance. Elevated nose and tail rocker pin you in the pocket for square snaps off the top. A thinned foil and narrowed tail block sharpen sensitivity without sacrificing hold in more powerful surf. The Helium Core construction makes it one of the lightest boards at this volume.

• Helium Core: stringerless EPS + Paulownia/Balsa wood rail flex — light and lively
• Elevated nose and tail rocker: critical pocket positioning, square snaps, barrel entries
• Thinned foil + narrowed tail block: precise sensitivity through turns
• Squash tail: rapid directional changes and controlled release
• 5'9" x 32.5L: performance shortboard for surfers approximately 155–175 lbs
• FCS II 5-fin compatible: thruster or quad (Rob prefers quad)

The 32.5L adds a margin of paddle power that makes this the most versatile size in the Groove lineup — still delivers everything that makes the model work in serious surf.

Sizing: 5'9" x 32.5L suits surfers approximately 155–175 lbs (70–80kg). Run as a quad for Rob's preferred feel.

Care: Rinse with fresh water after each use. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and hard impacts.
