The Firewire 5'2" Machadocado Surfboard is a fun and fast hybrid surfboard designed by Rob Machado, inspired by the shape of—yep, you guessed it—an avocado. Blending the smooth glide of a fish with the responsiveness of a performance shortboard, the Machadocado is a unique and lively board that turns everyday surf into a playground.
Built in Helium construction, this board is ultra-light, durable, and snappy underfoot. A fuller nose increases paddle power and wave-catching ease, while the deep double concave bottom keeps you flying down the line with effortless transitions. Whether you’re a newer surfer building confidence or an experienced rider looking for something fast and playful, the Machadocado brings style and flow to every session.
