Choose options
Meet your new favorite summertime shape, designed by Rob Machado inspired by the outline of an avocado mixed with the DNA of a fish and the performance of a shortboard. Experience the joy of catching waves you'd previously not even consider trying to catch on the Machadocado with ease, this is Rob's most versatile squash tail yet. Whether you're an experienced surfer or just beginning, this shape will be your best friend on smaller days.
Designed by the California-based style icon, this board embodies Rob's extensive experience and passion for small wave surfing in California. The Machadocado is slightly wider and thicker than your standard shortboard, providing excellent stability and grovel-ability, while it's thinned out tail provides plenty of control and hold in rounder, more powerful waves. It's volume distribution favors fast wraps and quick speed generation in waves knee-high to overhead. The Thruster fin configuration allows you to ride as a Twin, a Twin with a trailer, or a Thruster, depending on your desired feeling.
Recommended with the Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set for the best experience. This fin template was designed specifically for the Machadocado to enable tight turns and extreme control.

"I got the 5’9 and it’s perfect. This board feels very natural to how I ride, no adjustment period, just pop up and go! So far I’ve surfed it in 2-5ft effortlessly. I’m using Rob’s fins built for the board and no complaints with those either. Big thank you to Charlie in customer service and Chuy! They took care of me big time and I will continue to support Firwire."
"Everything seems to work with this board. It catches waves like a way bigger board but still maintains a lot of maneuverability. In my top 3 favorite boards of all time for sure."
"Great board. Got it for our daughter. Stable and easy to catch waves yet loose."
"Absolutely love this board. user friendly. Super fun to ride as a twin! I'm 6ft 180 and bought the 5'4. Best decision I've ever made."
"BUTTER!"
"Paddles amazing,catches waves effortlessly"
"Love the foiled tail. Ride in any condition"
"Love this board! Just what I've been looking for - perfect small wave, versatile hybrid - floaty, paddles into waves well, great feel on wave. I'm really happy - great design."
"It was shipped quickly. Looks amazing. Can't wait to ride it. Light as a feather! Thanks."
"This has been a board I've been waiting for since the first video was released. Of course I had minor reservations since Rob makes every board look like the best board ever. WOW! This is the best board ever! Works in 1 to 3 foot on shore beach break mush, clean 3 to 5 foot (California) running point breaks, or late drop bowl sections. Really a fun board. Take it vertical, round house cut backs, high line to connect sections, boost an air off a close out. . . , go for it! Loved it with a 2+1 for a fishy feel with extra hold, or with a thruster set for a more traditional short board feel, but with more versatility then my traditional short board. Catches waves that would normally pass me by. This board always comes with me. Whether it's a quick local run or a trip up or down the coast, my Machadocado has become a favorite choice. Thanks Rob, Thanks FireWire"
