Single Sessions Ep. 6: Machadocado with Jackson Dorian Watch Jackson Dorian and Rob Machado in Single Sessions Episode 6 featuring the all-new Firewire Surfboards Machadocado in Helium Technology by Rob Machado. Meet your new favorite summertime shape, designed by Rob Machado inspired by the outline of an avocado mixed with the DNA of a fish and the performance of a shortboard. Experience the joy of catching waves you'd previously not even consider trying to catch on the Machadocado with ease, this is Rob's most versatile squash tail yet. Whether you're an experienced surfer or just beginning, this shape will be your best friend on smaller days. Designed by the California-based style icon, this board embodies Rob's extensive experience and passion for small wave surfing in California. The Machadocado is slightly wider and thicker than your standard shortboard, providing excellent stability and grovel-ability, while it's thinned out tail provides plenty of control and hold in rounder, more powerful waves. It's volume distribution favors fast wraps and quick speed generation in waves knee-high to overhead. The Thruster fin configuration allows you to ride as a Twin, a Twin with a trailer, or a Thruster, depending on your desired feeling. Recommended with the Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set for the best experience. This fin template was designed specifically for the Machadocado to enable tight turns and extreme control. Single Sessions is your opportunity to eaves drop on aspirational performances in relatable waves – the world’s best surfers in everyday conditions riding Firewire and Slater Designs shapes built in Helium and I-Bolic Technology.
