コレクション: Firewire Machadocado

The most versatile hybrid in Rob Machado's quiver.Meet your new favorite summertime shape, designed by Rob Machado and inspired by the outline of an avocado mixed with the DNA of a fish and the performance of a shortboard. The Machadocado is a versatile and high-performance surfboard that excels in smaller waves, providing excellent stability and grovel-ability.

The Inspiration Behind the Machadocado

According to Rob Machado, the design of the Machadocado was inspired by the proportions of an avocado."There's just something about an avocado that is proportionately correct,"he says."I like to have my surfboards be pleasing to the eye, and this shape just flows really nice."The avocado-inspired outline makes wave catching easy, with more volume in a shorter outline.

Shape and Volume Distribution

The Machadocado is slightly wider and thicker than your standard shortboard, providing excellent stability and grovel-ability. The volume distribution favors fast wraps and quick speed generation in waves knee-high to overhead. The board's width and thickness also make it an ideal choice for surfers who want to catch waves with ease and confidence.

Double Concave and Vee Through the Fin Cluster

The Machadocado features a double concave crafted to suit ease of maneuverability, and a vee through the fin cluster that allows for uncommon ease of transition from rail to rail. This makes the board highly responsive and easy to turn, even for intermediate surfers.

Thickness Distribution and Helium Technology

Rob Machado was meticulous in refining the thickness distribution from nose to tail, ensuring the shape holds well in the pocket without sacrificing the ability to create speed in flat sections. The board is built in Helium Technology, which provides parabolic flex control provided by wooden rails for drive and control.
