Firewire Rob "Machadocado" Surfboard Review Ep 146

🚨 In this episode, Noel Salas takes a deep dive into Rob Machado's latest creation-the Machadocado by Firewire Surfboards. Is it similar to the Seaside? Absolutely, but with a few key upgrades! This board has a squash tail, extra surface area, and rides as a Twin + Trailer, bringing a whole new dynamic to your surf.
🏄 Noel puts the Machadocado through its paces at Waco Surf with three fin setups across three sessions:
Session 1: The original Twin + Trailer fin setup brings serious down-the-line speed and smooth carving.
Session 2: Switching to a smaller stabilizer and the Pivot Twins in Prepreg Carbon, Noel found the board more playful and high-performance, especially compared to the Seaside.
Session 3: With the Pivot Twins + Trailer dialed in, the board showed sharper turns, faster pivots, and maintained excellent speed-ideal for surfers who love a balance of performance and flow.
With its lower rocker and strong paddling ability, the Machadocado is perfect for speed down the line and crisp turns. Want to know if it's the upgrade you've been waiting for? Watch the full review to find out!
Enjoy the ride! 🌊🔥
