Firewire Futures Machado Groove Fin Set – Rob Machado’s Most Advanced High-Performance Fin Design

The Futures Machado Groove Fin Set is Rob Machado’s most refined and high-performance fin setup to date — purpose-built to complement his latest performance board, the Groove. These fins are engineered for powerful, technical surfing in fast, hollow waves, delivering a precise blend of drive, control, and fluid response.

Progressive Flex Construction
Designed with cutting-edge material layering, each fin features a carbon fiber leading edge for instant response and a bamboo core trailing edge for progressive flex and natural spring. This combination delivers a sharp, powerful entry into turns with a smooth, energetic release — enhancing both precision and flow.

Wave Type
Perfect for hollow, punchy surf from waist-high to overhead. The Machado Groove Fins offer fast engagement, excellent hold, and a lively underfoot feel — ideal for advanced surfers seeking speed, traction, and sharp directional control.

Fin Template
While technically a vertical (pivot-style) fin, the template retains Rob Machado’s signature hybrid DNA — with an extended base for extra drive and projection. This unique design allows for explosive pocket turns without sacrificing smooth rail engagement, making it ideal for surfers chasing high-performance responsiveness with a natural, intuitive touch.
