Taghazout, obviously...

4 boards!!! 🤯😂

I have a 5’4” seaside @29.8 liters in helium and it paddles like 32 liters. I like the look of this, especially with thinner nose and tail

No

Been meaning to pickup a rnf96, thing looks sick

I had some great waves on the Evo but didn’t think it paddled that well.

Greedy Beaver 🦫! I never get to surf anymore because I moved and am landlocked. So my paddle stamina and strength suck.

Hey, any feedback from anyone on how this model goes for you? I have a 5’6 sub scorcher 2 single wing swallow that I love. The only issue is that sometimes the wider nose gets in the way as the wave quality improves and gets more steep/hollow. Wondering if this board would be a good option to add to the quiver for when the conditions improve? Thank you. Love the channel!

Weird back in 1997 i designed a short board to be used like a skateboard . It looked just like the one in video. Like a wakeboard. However I had three prototypes ridden by some great surfers here in Ventura..first one I was teamed up with Fletcher chouinard from Patagonia tried using recycled blanks etc. and board had two glassed on kick pads basically and a trail fin in front so fakey ...actually worked . Second board I experimented with candy paints metal flake ..like lowriders .. but although the paint job was ghost flames and skullz and looked way rad .. seemed like a big shiny fishing lure... Uh no thanks. Third board I got together with a co worker who was a brainiac builds his own computers flies drones for special ops.. anyways he came up with the golf ball theory .. the holes .. it's what make them sail fly .. speed .. so after several different size grids on bottom of boards big .small. spacing .. holy smokes all the pre team riders were super stoked .. so far out in front of waves without more than one pump ..just effortlessly shot like a rocket across face.. and turns ..well like the one in video .. not a fish but a high performance shortboard surfing 4-6 ft waves .. the guys surfing ghem were able to perform what they had in there heads judos, Ollie's,shuvits , oh and thee biggest airs!! Forgot another feature was like hand rails kind of indentations for your fingers to grab board .. not going to give ALL the things I came up with but those were the basics . What happened? Got a investor had all the contracts done up lawyers shaping machines. . It got messy . But when I first just saw that board ... Reminded me of 1997 ..

Is Michael J. Fox really giving away the original hoverboard from Back to the Future? Thanks Marty! I’ll pay shipping

I was looking for the sweetpotato but firewire australia doesnt have it in stock and will take forever to make one by order. How the machadocado compares to it? Both seems to have a pretty wide outline... I also have a 5 9 seaside, 5 10 puddle jumper hp, 61 dominator 2

Hi Ian! If you're trying to decide between the Holy Hypto versus Hypto Krypto for a daily driver 3ft - 6ft beachbreaks, some points. Which would you choose and why?

Opinion on transitionning from a 8ft long/fun board to a 6’6 fish mod? (I weight about 145lbs) I feel like my 8ft is kind of limiting my turning having 60L… so I would like a board that can introduce me to more carving but still give me the help I need for now!

"I don't get excited about surfboards anymore, I'm very jaded" What do you do for a living? "I own a surfboard shop" 🥴

Idk why I just never liked how FW boards looked and somehow it’s resulted in me never surfing one, I feel like I should try and change that

Metrical system! I never understand the measuring system. THe swell can be 3-4ft but then probably needs to be a long period because it jacks up pretty hard. I'd say a solid OH (2m+) face...

boss up till i get my hands on that macha- avaocado thing :D

Thanks for the tip on the fit, Hurley = Oneil

I disagree I have a seaside a dominator 2.0 and the boss up one must always take three

Dark Arts carbon wrap is kind of a game changer. I’ve been riding mine for four months and really feel an improvement in my surfing. Obviously there’s still more improvement needed, but it’s going well so far. I highly recommend!

What’s the 1st board?

Hi , Your reviews are always on point, thank you! Can you send this board to South Korea? I'm at the wave pool for another month.

Bro called a fish a shortboard😅

Tree feet

Very different boards in terms of rider ability. Hypto and Pyzel Ghost are totally in different league 😅

at least 6

8foot wave

6

Great brand great board

What soze would you recommend for someone who is sportive, but only gets a max. of 30 days in the water each year? Aiming to get good turns and cutbacks working, can catch most waves with a 7'2 ~50l and want to size down a bit. I'm around 83 kg and 194cm tall. Thx anyone for answering!

Super fun board

Thanks

Most Machado boards are designed for and around Rob. I don't know too many, OK, I don't know anybody who surfs like Rob. Maybe Slater, Fanning, JJF, but these guys are super talented and most likely from another planet. (JK). I appreciate that Rob's pushing the parameters.

how much overlap does it have with the ol Glazer? look similar in some ways then a bit "different" in others....obviously

Assuming he's around 6ft, it's a solid 8ft on the face before it closes out.

Oh look, 9 years later Firewire make their version of the Lost Puddle Jumper. Helium rocks though, gotta give them that.

I would've liked it more with swallow tail and 5 boxes but... dayum, it looks like a really nice board to have for Mediterranean waves. 🤙

I’ve ordered a 5’10 in the grey swirl and I’m the wrong side of 50! I’m going over to the UK in a couple of weeks to collect it. I reckon it’s got baked potato vibes but should be a bit more controllable and versatile.

It took me about 5 attempts to figure out the name lol. Board rips! Get you or one of the bois on it out there, yall will love it. Size it up a bit I'd reckon.

nice watch

This board vs the Seaside? Seems similar but different... Quad versus 2+1 ... Apart from buying both how would you choose between them?

On take off it’s solid 4ft got a bit of a grower on it though ends solid 5

Buy this board Ty!!!
