The Firewire 3 Piece Arch Pad is Rob Machado’s choice for thrusters when he wants to, “act like a professional surfer.”

Materials:  Made with algae – BLOOM is a high-performance flexible foam made from algae biomass harvested from freshwater sources throughout the world. BLOOM’s foam process:

Helps improve the quality of waterways by removing excess algae that harms plants, animals, and people who rely on the ecosystem for survival.Recirculates fresh water back into the habitat.Aids CO2 capture and sequestration. We’re literally scraping pond scum, solar drying, and pulverizing it before foaming the material to create a pad that helps re-balance the natural ecology, and reduces our dependence on non-renewable oil.

This patented algae technology has created a product with increased durability, improved shock absorption and reduced weight over conventional foams. The packaging is made with post-consumer backing, soy-based inks and a biodegradable wrapping.
