The Firewire 5'5" Machadocado Surfboard is a creative fusion of performance and fun, shaped by Rob Machado for surfers who love speed, flow, and unique design. Inspired by the smooth outline of an avocado, the Machadocado blends the paddle power and glide of a fish with the sharp responsiveness of a shortboard—making it the perfect board for everyday surf with a twist.
Built in Firewire’s Helium construction, this board is exceptionally lightweight, durable, and ultra-responsive underfoot. The fuller nose increases paddle ease and early wave entry, while the deep double concave to vee through the tail helps generate speed and deliver smooth, connected rail surfing. Whether you’re cruising on small peelers or drawing creative lines on punchy peaks, the Machadocado brings out the fun in every session.
