New surfboard alert - has Machado done it again?

I had a chance to test out the new ‪@firewiresurfboards‬ Machadocado at one of their recent board demos. I've been on a swallow and round pin tail 'kick' lately, so a wide squash, like the Machadocado has, wasn't on my radar at the time of testing.

Well let me tell you, felt good to be back on a classic.

To start, the board reminds me of the ‪@darkartssurf7376‬ Dad Bod (first version), with it's super wide, thinned out squash tail. And the nose in a similar vein - wide and coming together with an almost ‪@LostSurfboardsNetwork‬ RnF 96 nose. But maybe even wider? It is WIDE with more girth than both those boards. Another good comparison is a ‪@cisurfboards‬ Dumpster Diver...on steroids.

I rode the 5'10 Firewire Machadocado, which has the following dimensions:
5'10" - 21 5/8" - 2 11/16" - 37.6 L

Albeit a bit big for my frame (5'10, 170ish), being between a groveler and a small wave shortboard, I really enjoyed the extra float and paddle power - esp towards that super wide nose.

The tail gets REALLY thin, similar to his other models - and I really like this approach to these boards, as the result is a super pivoty board that goes well through flat spots, but never feels dead under foot.

The Helium of the Machadocao works great - the day I demo'd it, it was 2-3ft & occasional bigger sets. Mushy and disorganized, with some corners. It was ideal for the board - and I caught myself 'taking it to the shore' by moving my feet up and riding the little bit of remaining white water on the top 1/3 of the board like a longboard.

It had the ‪@robertomachatski‬ 2 plus 1 set in the board, which are newly released as well. They were perfect and had some speed and had just enough hold for bottom turns. The board worked like I had ridden it for years - a familiar feeling that just went well.

What the Firewire Website says about the board:
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.

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.

Wave Type:
Designed to create speed in weak waves and control speed in good waves. The Machadocado loves to be in waves knee-high to overhead, think fast wraps and speed generation. It will give you confidence in all conditions, the extra width plays into weak waves and the thinned out foil helps in good waves. The avocado-inspired outline makes wave catching easy with more volume in a shorter outline.

The Machadocado is short and wide like Rob's favorite breakfast fruit, with a volume distribution that favors fast wraps, quick speed generation, and easy paddling. With a double concave crafted to suit ease of maneuverability, and a vee through the fin cluster, the Machadocado transitions rail to rail uncommonly easily for a shape so wide. Rob was meticulous in refining the thickness distribution from nose to tail, ensuring the shape holds well in the pocket without sacrificing the ability to create speed in flat sections.
