Its fuller dimensions put plenty of board underfoot while maintaining a performance-oriented approach to alternative surfboard design.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThis 5'9\" stock size measures 21 9\/16\" wide and 2 9\/16\" thick with 36 liters of volume, matching Firewire's published dimensions for the 5'9 Machadocado.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003eVersatile 3-Fin Configuration\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eAlthough Rider Shack's inventory system categorizes the fin setup as a thruster, Firewire designed the Machadocado's three fin boxes to offer more versatility than a conventional thruster-only setup. The board can be ridden as a twin fin, twin plus trailer, or thruster depending on the fins used and the feel you're looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp\u003eFirewire specifically developed the Machado 2+1 fin set around the Machadocado, but other compatible Futures setups can also be used. Fins are not included with this board.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003eWide 5'9 Platform with 36 Liters\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eAt 5'9\" x 21 9\/16\" x 2 9\/16\", the Machadocado carries considerably more width than a typical high-performance shortboard. The 36-liter volume provides a useful reference when comparing it with other boards, while the overall outline and foam distribution are equally important when choosing the right size.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp\u003eSurfboard sizing depends on ability, fitness, preferred waves, and current equipment. Volume alone should not determine whether this board is the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003eEpoxy Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eRider Shack's inventory identifies this individual Machadocado as epoxy construction. Current Machadocados are produced by Firewire using its Helium construction platform, but because this is a pre-owned surfboard, this listing relies on the construction information recorded for the individual board rather than assuming its exact production technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003eUsed Surfboard Condition\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eRider Shack has inspected this Machadocado and given it a 5 out of 5 used-board rating.
