Neues Design für 2026 - Bauweise, Shape und Stock Maße bleiben jedoch unverändert!

Shape:

Rob Machado ist nun seit einer Weile nicht mehr nur für seine herausragende Performance auf dem Surfboard, sondern auch für seine Skills als Shaper bekannt. Seine Modellpalette unter dem Firewire Label zeichnet sich dabei durch die Bank weg durch eine besondere Eigenschaft aus: Nutzerfreundlichkeit. Rob hat sich auf alternative Surfboards Designs konzentriert, bei denen viel Foam mit pfiffigen Features wie besonders schlanken Rails im Tail und ausgeprägten Double Concaves kombiniert werden, damit der Performance Aspekt nicht zu kurz kommt. Mit dem Groove bringt er nun zum ersten Mal ein Board raus, welches auf den ersten Blick wie ein typisches High Performance Shortboard daher kommt: Mit einer cleanen Outline ohne aggressive Hip und einem Squash Tail. Auf den zweiten Blick offenbart sich dann die vollere Nose für viel Paddelpower und das Machado-typische Double Concave für einfache Railwechsel und viel Speed. Der Tail Block ist ebenfalls etwas breiter als bei den meisten High Performance Shortboards. Das sorgt für mehr Lift und Geschwindigkeit in suboptimalen Bedingungen. Die Rails sind analog zu seinen anderen Modellen im Tail wieder besonders schlank, damit das Board ruhigen Gewissens mit etwas mehr Foam gesurft werden kann. Der Rocker ist shortboard-typisch eher kurvig, um auch in engen, steilen Sections vertikale Turns zu ermöglichen. Das Groove funktioniert gleichermaßen als Quad wie als Thruster, wobei ersteres für mehr Speed und Drive sorgt. In kleinen Wellen sollte das Board unbedingt auch als Twin mit Trailer Finne ausprobiert werden! 

Surfer:innen und Bedingungen:

Das Einsatzgebiet vom Groove entspricht dem eines typischen Daily Drivers. Wenn die Wellen ein bisschen Punch haben, macht es schon in hüfthohen Wellen Spaß. Ideale Bedingungen sind dann brust- bis etwas überkopfhoch. Ist es dann double overhead, empfehlen wir eher Boards mit mehr Railline und Round Tail. Im Vergleich zu den anderen Boards in Rob's Palette ist es definitiv etwas anspruchsvoller zu surfen - die Basics sollten sicher sitzen. Nichtsdestotrotz ist es gutmütiger und fehlerverzeihender als manch anderes Shortboard.

Alternativen:

Das Firewire Dominator 2 hat nochmals mehr Shortboard DNA, ist agiler und hat eine schlankere Nose. Wer primär kleine Wellen surft oder ein möglichst einfach zu surfendes, maximal paddelfreudiges Shortboard sucht, ist mit dem Machadocado besser beraten. Wer noch mehr Haltbarkeit sucht, sollte einen Blick auf das Lib x Lost Quiver Killer werfen. Fans von klassischen PU Surfboards werden mit Pyzel Phantom oder CI Better Everyday glücklich.

Bauweise:

Helium ist als Nachfolger der FST Bauweise Firewire's leichteste Technologie mit einem sehr dynamischen Flex Verhalten. Das Prinzip ist das gleiche wie bei der FST und Timbertek Bauweise, nur werden leichtere Materialien verwendet und anstelle des Holzfurniers eine dünne Hartschaumplatte aus der Raumfahrt verarbeitet. Ein stringerloser, extrem leichter Kern wird von einem Pauwlonia/Balsa Rahmen in Form parabolischer Rails eingerahmt und mit einer extrem robusten und leichten Kunststoff/Epoxy Sandwich Schicht geglast.
Helium eignet sich durch sein leichtes Gewicht und sein lebhaftes Flex Verhalten sehr gut für Shortboard-, Hybrid-, Fish- und auch Midlength-Shapes. Die hohe Widerstandsfähigkeit macht Helium Boards genau wie Timbertek Boards zu idealen Reise Surfboards, die weniger empfindlich und dinganfällig als klassische PU Boards sind.
2026 hat die Helium Bauweise ein Facelift bekommen. Außer dem Design ändert sich aber nichts!

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat
