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.

Helium Core Technology
Our best-selling technology, with a new updated look. A stringerless EPS core with flex controlled at the rails made from Paulownia and Balsa wood and our proprietary deckskins - this construction is light and lively underfoot, and excellent at generating speed in everyday waves. Rob Machado calls the parabolic flex control provided by the wooden rails in the Machadocado "good for drive on rail and control in critical sections.

6’1 Machadocado with Machado 2 + 1 Fin set
"I’m 180 lbs 5’ 10. This is a fast board which paddles easy into any waves in so cal. Best board I have ever ridden. I’m 45 yrs old and like my boards big. This board does it all for me. I absolutely love it!"
Magic Carpet
"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."
Great combo of performance and grovel
"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."
