Machadocado

Name: Machadocado
Brand: Firewire

Owners Rating:

The Machadocado, designed by Rob Machado, blends the outline of an avocado with the DNA of a fish and the performance of a shortboard. A tweaked version of the Seaside layout, this versatile squash tail board excels in small to average waves, offering speed in flatter sections and good release out of turns. With a wider, thicker outline for stability and a thinned-out tail for maneuverability, it’s perfect for surfers of all levels. The Machadocado features a double concave for ease of maneuverability and a vee through the fin cluster for smooth rail-to-rail transitions. Recommended with the Machado 2+1 Fin Set for optimal performance, it ensures confidence in various conditions.

Under Your Feet

Incredible speed generator with the right amount of maneuverability, the Machadocado is the go-to board when you check the waves and don't see a lot of white water moving!

When it's pumping

The wider nose and low entry rocker can help with paddling and catching waves early, but may limit the ability to perform more critical turns.
The thinned-out tail can help control speed in fast turns and provide extra grip.
If it's 4ft+ Firewire has great options with more rocker like the S Boss and FRK+.

When it's fair

Now, low rocker is your friend! It will make your life pretty easy to catch whatever wave comes for you.
The wide squash tail allows smooth gliding through flatter sections and helps maintain momentum.
