I bought the Firewire Mashup Surfboard

I've just received the new Firewire Mashup Surfboard from the coolest collaboration between two legends Rob Machado and Dan Mann.
The Firewire Mashup is supposed to work really well in weak waves and also provide great performance in good conditions.
I pre-ordered the Mashup in the beginning of this month and it just landed here in Rockaway Beach, New York. I'm really excited to share my first impression about Mashup with you.

Wow you got it before the shops! 🙌🏼

[@SkipperSurfReview]

I think I just got lucky with the shipment and my pre-ordered board slipped through. LOL. I had low confidence after Firewire rep said that they may run out of stock boards due to high demand from the surf shops.

[@hawaiiansouthshore]

Yeah 😎

[@StokedForTravel]

Such an epic board in a huge variety of conditions - loving mine 😊

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Sweet! We're finally getting small swell this week.. I'm very excited but keeping my expectations low!

[@StokedForTravel]

@@SkipperSurfReview I think you'll love it bro - and dont be afraid to push it in bigger stuff, especially with the quad setup

[@billygamer7823]

​@@SkipperSurfReview You won't be disappointed! here is why: I got this board a week ago I am in my 40 back to shortboarding after 5 year on mid length and I was skeptic too. third session in and that is a brilliant board for smaller or bigger wave. It floats really well and you will take loads of waves. I jut had the best surf I had in years because the board is so easy to surf and does anything you want without any efforts at all. you can cruise along down the line, do turns cut backs or anything you like it just happens naturally. That board feels like it reads your mind

[@frediphillips]

Wow you got this one super quick! Can't wait for you to give us the review once you take it in the water!

[@seraajregal4663]

Hottest board on the planet currently on the hottest board channel !

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Thanks man! Hope you are well!

[@MylittleprincessMaria]

Congrats!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

[@deancronn5745]

Love it! I just pre-ordered one!

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Niiice!

[@tarasurfgirl6401]

Please, no drop tests! Can't wait to see the review, Skipper.

[@NotAlex5]

How do you get so many boards ?! It's been good to see you progress.

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Thank you! I just buy them but I recently borrowed two boards from the local shapers for review❤️ They are coming out soon🤙🏼

[@charleshawk6668]

Took mine out today at Trestles. Like it so far.

[@SkipperSurfReview]

How big is yours?

[@ThePokersurfer]

FireWire sure has powerful promotional Koolaid

[@zandakaskieva2349]

Hope it works in 1 ft waves🥳

[@benjaminm5232]

It's a grovler for a Socal/Norcal ripper, not an east coast surfer. It's a small wave board for us.

[@simonfooks6962]

Looking forward to hearing your review after surfing it. THat nose has a lot of flip!

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Hey Simon! Yes, it does. I'm working on it now and it should be available this weekend!

[@simonfooks6962]

@@SkipperSurfReview Oh awesome! Yes it was a lil too much for me so I passed on it. The JS Sub Xero looked flatter to me and I liked it so much I bought one in PU and One in HYFI and prefer the epoxy version. Think you would love that board for your type of waves.

[@papamarban2185]

Great content. Does your Mashup match the dimensions that were listed on the firewire website? I just received the 5.4 Mashup and the dimensions and liters are not the same as what firewire has listed.

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Hey!! Yes, it does. I just double checked it. What size is yours? My 5’8” matches perfectly. May be you can address that with Firewire and they will send you replacement or free fins😁

[@onshore1ft]

What was the difference in dimensions?

[@papamarban2185]

I’ll see if I can post a picture. The 5’4” I received dimensions were: 19 9/16 x 2 7/16 @27.1 liters. Been trying to reach firewire through email and phone, but no reply.

[@papamarban2185]

The width and the liters are what is slightly different. I feel like maybe I received a prior iteration. And not the final product. I purchased the board directly from Firewire. They did package it well, however.

[@SkipperSurfReview]

@@papamarban2185 Hey buddy! Try to email [e-mail] he’s E-Commerce Operations Manager. Hope he can get this resolved🤙🏼

[@Surfandmusicequipmentreviews]

Bougt one a week ago and had no suf to surf it on! Then got bloody covid! FROTHING!!!

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Ugh.. Hope you get out soon!

[@samuelefabbro]

Hey man really like your jacket and shoes.. what brands? thanks

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Hey Samuele! I got them from outerknown.com. The Jacket is Envoy 3-in-1 Coat and shoes: Men's Veja Esplar Leather Shoe. Cheers!

[@onshore1ft]

I think you will find it's a bit big, around 5'5 would be normal for your height. Still will be ok in winter with full suit though.

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Too late lol. but you are totally right. I can't return it. I kinda need that extra volume and length to surf shitty waves out front otherwise the board will be useless. You do get the best performance out of the board when you dial the size though. It's a trade off .. more waves vs 12 o'clock turns :) Cheers!

[@mrjmarv]

can you measure the rocker for your final review? that would be awesome

[@SkipperSurfReview]

will do man!

[@surfininmy40s]

So the seaside fins work with this board?

[@SkipperSurfReview]

They do! But you want to get full quad or better get Endorfins 5 fin set. ks-1

[@MichaelJDay]

How would you compare the mashup to the dominator 2 or the Cymatic?

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Hey Mike! I would say, Cymatic has a very specific sweet spot up front. You need to be more precise with your front foot landing. Cymatic can help to do more precise and sharper turns. The Mashup is more on a groveler type of board being more loose and fun!

[@MichaelJDay]

@@SkipperSurfReview thanks for sharing your feedback that’s helpful!

I’m anti tail pad too brah. I hate tail pads, they make boards look ugly!
