The Go Fish in France - Rob walks you through a fun session.

Want more from rob? Drop into this episode of The Wire Podcast:
www.firewiresur...
In this video Rob rides a 5'2 Go Fish in France. He also talks you through what he feels on the Go Fish, the kind of waves the board likes, and much more. Like the best fins for a Go Fish (Hint: they're by Futures).
Our favorite part of this video is the way Rob finishes his turns on this LFT shape. And we're anxious to release more surf clips showing Rob on the Midas and Melted Butter in coming months. Two other LFT shapes he designed.
The Go Fish hit surf shops in late April and quickly sold out, and there are only a few around right now at shops, but more are coming. So if you want one, tell a shop near you to hold one when the next batch comes in late June.

What Traction Pad does Rob have on this board?

[@firewiresurfboards]

He has now designed a pad called the "Go Pad' for the Go Fish, and every other wide tailed Fish he rides.

[@nisn1805]

I’ve literally watched this video 30 times

[@firewiresurfboards]

We're really not that far behind you...

[@nisn1805]

yea, his turns are just so satisfying and clean... its cool to say that I live in his town and see him surfing all the time at seaside.. yew!

[@TribalMaggot1]

Yeah same, pretty keen to shape a board modelled off this Go Fish

[@walkermayer2666]

Only 30!?

[@candsoshea3566]

ethandoesvideos nice.

[@KurtKress]

Rob has the best style I have ever seen, even when he falls it looks like it’s in slow motion

[@ryanreidemeister6049]

6 years later and I’m still watching this video. Incredible.

[@Kastlino]

same man my go to feel good video

[@TheFlounderPounder]

Machado is the Bob Ross of surfing. "Rob Ross."

[@richardsonliou2078]

U mean rob boss

[@unSTEVOED]

Rob Moss

[@afonsomrodrigues]

This video made me want to make a fish with my shaper and I did it. Since then I've taken such a huge appreciation for this type of surboard and surfing. This is what surfing should be all about. Thanks for teaching me once again what a pleasure surfing is, Rob.

[@matteod7317]

This captures the 'France in fall' feeling 100%! It can be magical.

[@NorthOCkook]

He participated in some beverages

[@peterreedrichards]

NorthOCkook 😂

[@bubbadigital2382]

classic

[@Kastlino]

my brother and i say this all the time to eachother love this line lol

[@surfsouthaustralia6296]

Love the vibes of this video, not sure if it's because they're stoned or it's just the pure Stoke.

[@firewiresurfboards]

Stoke :)

[@PatJuhNL]

Does it matter? (it doesn't in our country anyway)... This clip makes me want to load up my roofrack, pack my bags and drive south and scream: "Les Landes je suis en route!"

[@firewiresurfboards]

Haven't got a clue what 'Les Landes je suis en route!' means, but you make it sound so good, I'm tempted to start shouting :).

[@cedricschmidt8633]

it means "les Landes, i'm on my way", such a cool part of France. Nice vidéo, not only about doing the strongest turn. need more vidéo like this!

[@justinvn2082]

Firewire Surfboards nice

[@jaywilldoit]

Just got a Go Fish for the first time, can confirm it's really fast and feels really good.

[@lewis809]

Rob I have to warn you that I’m heavily participating in the vibes of this video

[@pipelinegt6480]

You don't know how many times I have watched this video

[@minimalglitch6675]

PipeLineGt fact :)

[@alejandroarndtjack4095]

He flows so well, so much style

[@Reefahholic]

One of the sickest videos ever IMO. The way Rob surfs that fish is so smooth. The board just floats and is what I’ve been searching for. The key....volume that fits you. Plus it helps to be 150lbs. 🙂

[@b4ssfunk3d]

I might try that board but in a 5'4 or a little bigger. I'm 160-162 most of the time and I don't see myself slimming down to 150 either haha

[@jetlee1981]

Solid marketing boys. Top of the industry in my opinion.

[@blune9504]

This video is so peaceful

[@daffyshakilfur3563]

Every surfer should own a fish. May favorite stick in my quiver. And plus you look like a boss surfing it in head high waves.

[@funnygazman19]

Yesssssss!!!!!!! Someone caught Rob going right. Excellent video to start my surf trip with my trusty Almond Butter. So psyched.

[@BenjiFieldz]

Rob Machados sunny disposition always makes me smile. Such a chill dude! Absolutely Rips too..

[@billyjoe480]

I’ve been watching this and the Seaside video a couple times everyday since December. I’ll literally do anything to get a Seaside or Go Fish, those boards look amazing.

[@Jrohr]

This video has actually helped my surfing mechanics

[@bodhitree33]

I wouldn't want to come in just to drink wine when there's waves to be had. Smooth surfing.

[@thesplittedbanana5058]

that surfing... so smoooth. just beautiful.

[@MichaelJDay]

Beautiful, Rob making it look like even flow............

[@alpinestar1943]

It's not the board. It's the soul surfer named Rob.

[@rogerbica6847]

Watching in 0.25 speed is one of the best surf lessons you can have!

[@random3785]

god i love watchig rob surf!!!!!!!! i could watch endless hours of rob surf

[@zareh805]

The high line at 1:58 gives me goose bumps at every time. I’d rather draw a high line than a hard snap.

[@andremirzaian3407]

Come surf with me in France

[@jonnysends]

honestly probably my 50th + time being here...

[@firewiresurfboards]

Here comes 51...

[@wolf-yw9wk]

that floater he does is so effortless.. i've watched it over and over.. its almost like he's on a snowboard floating over a rail... so smooth

[@Taylor314ce]

Surfing is art. And Rob is just an artist. Thank you Mr. Machado

[@willasanoshi753]

I love how the board came back to him

[@richardsonliou2078]

This video is so chill. Your just watching him surfing while listening to them talk. imagine if surf tutorials was just surfing and talking

[@christiangrimm2883]

He’s the most satisfying surfer to watch, just so smoooooth

[@Jules-rj8cf]

Poetry in motion. I always find myself coming back to this video 🤤

[@justintindel5218]

I've watched this 48 times...... .. thanks for posting/ sharing:)

[@georgefleming7216]

Just love how he talks, so much finesse

[@lazarocapaccioni4654]

Daaammmnn amaizing how he flows on those waves, really fun to watch.

[@howtomakemoneywithyourelec2190]

Nice😃 beautiful surfing and relaxed analysing instead of dubbed over with music. cheers mate.

[@Paora3000]

Bought my 5’7 last week. Can’t get enough of it.

[@firewiresurfboards]

So stoked to hear you're having fun on it.

[@ThiagoBragaMusic]

I love the surf style of Fish!

[@eamonshields2754]

Looks so fun

[@711amiinheaven]

Look how the sunlight hits those curls you guys! Robbie's hair up in this beezy

[@jasonc1817]

he makes it look so easy

[@scottiheadsa1709]

Mr Rob, still surfing with so much flow,

[@gordonquigg9389]

Hey Rob, Gordon here. this is by far the best surfing I've ever seen done on a basically traditional Steve Liss fish template. Your seemingly effortless shredding and seamlessly linked manuevers with no hang upsis so amazing in this video. Your surfing here is super soulful and yet technically extremely radical and advanced. Which is interesting because the standard fish template like this, usually has glitches in turns tight to the pocket, due to the straighter more parallel rail line in the back half of the board. I like this board better than your newer versions.

[@lazarocapaccioni4654]

Smooth Rob... love how he just flows whit the wave.

[@joelmurphy1069]

More sessions like this with Rob please please please FireWire !!

[@mpower2386]

Southwest france in fall is a dream, miss it so much, working hard to make it my second home one day..

[@PedroDVC]

This guy rides the waves so smoothly... like butter

[@KTproductions]

I am on a surf trip in France right now and this gets me so hyped!

[@zareh805]

Watched this video so many times. Feels good. Can wait till my fish is shaped.

[@firewiresurfboards]

Fun fact: This video has become the most viewed video about a surfboard on KZbin ever.

[@daniisrael____6326]

[@didymostruespeal]

Surfed with a guy in Cardiff yesterday .9/9 18 who had one of your boards .and I told him I road a similar board in 1975. but you had to keep it going rail2rail if you stopped it stopped. looks like you fixed that. good luck to you see you in the water one of these days

[@renatovolpi]

"No leash? No leash, no problem.." It does not get any more Rob Machado than that... hahaha

God, I know what he talking about about feeling "warm" in the afternoon. I'm always cold and grumpy in the mornings. But in the afternoon I'm warm and lose and ready to go.

[@johnnykR9]

Silky smooth style, no jerky motion. When I think of the term soul surfer I think of Machado
