SEATTLE RENTALS FIELD GUIDE
6'8" Seaside and Beyond: A Playful, Speed-Focused Firewire Built to Bridge Shortboards and Mid‑Lengths
A rental-ready Firewire that glides like a mid‑length but turns like a shortboard—this guide explains the board's design, rental windows, and what to pack for a coastbound session.
6'8" Seaside and Beyond: A Playful, Speed-Focused Firewire Built to Bridge Shortboards and Mid‑Lengths.
Urban Surf’s 6'8" Seaside and Beyond sits squarely between shortboards and mid‑lengths: fast, playful, and designed to draw tighter lines than most boards at this length. Available as part of a rental fleet that includes stable soft‑tops for beginners and high‑performance shapes for experienced surfers, it’s offered through one‑ to three‑day rental options with pickup and drop‑off windows set to help you get to the coast.

A design built for fun and speed
The Seaside and Beyond was conceived as an 'extended version' of the Seaside—fast, mid‑length glide with the ability to draw tighter lines. Its single‑to‑double concave, unique quad fin setup and measured rocker combine to enhance speed on rail while retaining playful handling.
Rentals for every level
Urban Surf’s roster pairs stable soft‑top rental boards for beginners with higher‑performance choices for seasoned surfers seeking precision, letting you match a board to your skill and the day’s conditions.
Planned pickup windows to maximize time in the water
Daily rentals include a half‑day buffer before and after the rental period—pickups are available the day before at noon and returns the day after at noon—making it easier to travel to Port Angeles, Westport or other coast access points without losing surf time.
