Firewire 5'7" Machadocado Surfboard – Helium Construction
The Firewire 5'7" Machadocado, shaped by Rob Machado, is designed to bring effortless fun and flow to your everyday surf sessions. Inspired by the organic shape of an avocado, this hybrid combines the speed and looseness of a fish with the maneuverability of a shortboard. The result is a versatile board that catches waves with ease, drives rail-to-rail smoothly, and performs in a wide range of conditions.
Built in Helium Construction, this model features a lightweight EPS core, reinforced composite skins, and parabolic wood rails that deliver lively flex and durability. The fuller nose offers extra paddle power, while the wide squash tail and deep double concave bottom enhance speed, lift, and seamless transitions. Whether you’re gliding on waist-high peelers or carving shoulder-high sets, the Machadocado thrives on fun and flow.
