About the Firewire Machadocado
Designed by Rob Machado, the Machadocado is a compact hybrid built around a noticeably wide outline for its length. Firewire describes it as the most versatile hybrid in Machado's quiver, combining accessible paddle power and speed with a shape intended to remain responsive underfoot.
The generous width gives the Machadocado plenty of planing area, making it an interesting option for surfers who want easy speed and useful volume without moving to a much longer board.
Compact 5'8 with 34.4 Liters
This board measures 5'8" x 21 1/2" x 2 1/2" with 34.4 liters of volume. Firewire's current size chart confirms these as the standard dimensions for the 5'8 Machadocado.
The combination of a compact 5'8 length, 21 1/2-inch width, and 34.4 liters gives this board a substantial amount of foam relative to its length. That can help with paddling and speed generation while keeping the board compact underfoot.
Versatile 3-Fin Configuration
The Machadocado uses three fin boxes, but it is not limited to being ridden as a conventional thruster. Firewire designed the configuration so the board can be experimented with as a twin, twin plus trailer, or thruster depending on the fins used and the feel you're looking for.
This individual board is equipped with Futures fin boxes. Unlike many of our used boards, fins are included with this one.
Designed by Rob Machado
Rob Machado developed the Machadocado as a versatile hybrid with an unusually wide outline relative to its length. The shape is designed to provide the speed and easy-going characteristics associated with wider hybrid boards while still allowing for controlled, responsive turns.
Used Surfboard Condition
Rider Shack has inspected this used Machadocado and given it a 5 out of 5 used-board rating. It is still a pre-owned surfboard, so review the product photos for the closest look at the cosmetic condition of this individual board.
Who Is the Machadocado For?
The Machadocado is worth considering for surfers looking for a wide, compact hybrid with plenty of usable volume and multiple fin options. It can bridge the space between a dedicated groveler and a more conventional shortboard, making it an appealing choice when easy speed and versatility are priorities.
Surfboard sizing depends on ability, fitness, preferred waves, and the performance you're looking for. The 34.4-liter volume is a useful comparison point, but volume alone should not determine whether this is the right size for you.
