The Firewire 5'9" Machadocado is a uniquely styled, fun-forward hybrid designed by Rob Machado. Inspired by the playful curves of an avocado, this board blends the speed and glide of a fish with the precision and responsiveness of a performance shortboard. It's the ultimate board for surfers who want to keep things loose, fast, and stylish in a wide range of conditions.
The wide outline and extra volume under the chest provide paddle power and early wave entry, while the refined rails and deep double concave through the tail allow for smooth transitions, speed generation, and confident control. The Machadocado is a board that will keep you stoked whether you're surfing crumbly peaks or pushing through sections on smaller days.
