About the Product

Discover your new go-to board for small days: the Firewire Machadocado, designed by Rob Machado, is the most versatile shape in his entire quiver. Inspired by the shape of an avocado, it blends the glide of a fish with the drive and control of a shortboard — built to help you catch more waves in style, even the ones you once thought impossible.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned surfer, the Machadocado will be your best friend during summer sessions and in small to medium surf. Its compact outline packs in extra volume and stability, making it easier to paddle, take off, and perform from knee-high peelers to head-high walls.

Board Specs
Dimensions: 5'6" x 20 7/8" x 2 9/16" — Volume: 32.3L

Tail: Refined squash tail for sharp control

Fin Setup: Thruster (versatile to ride as Twin, Twin + Trailer, or Thruster)

Bottom Contour: Double concave with vee between the fins for smooth, fast transitions

Built with Helium Core Technology
Ultra-lightweight EPS core with no stringer, plus paulownia and balsa wood rails for tuned flex and speed generation. Helium construction offers a fast, lively feel with enhanced durability and quick response — ideal for all sections of the wave.

Small-Wave Performance, Big-Wave Control
The Firewire Machadocado is built to excel in weak surf and still hold control when the waves pack a punch. The added volume gets you in early, and the pulled-in tail gives you confidence in steeper sections. Expect fast, fluid turns and a fun, forgiving ride in anything from knee- to head-high waves.

Recommended Fins
To get the most out of the Machadocado, Rob Machado recommends the Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set, designed specifically for this board. It allows tight, precise turns and maximum control.
