Jetty1502 - 5 years ago

I think I might have already said this. You should come out with a model called the Palisades. if you're born and raised in San Diego you know what I'm talking about

gregg mccoy - 5 years ago

Thanks Rob Machado I love my new seaside! I'm 49 years old and 5,9 168 pounds. I chose the 5'7 model and its absolutely amazing. Generates tons of speed, flow and is really easy to turn and go rail to rail. It took me 2 sessions to dial it in, but after that it's been nothing but pure happiness. I surf in NJ where there is a lot of beach breaks. Paddles great and I would recommend this board. Thanks again Rob!

How does this compare to the Chumlee? Particularly regarding wave range/type, speed down the line and the sort of lines they like to draw on the wave?

I met Rob once, he’s such a nice dude. Very calm and very happy personality. Been looking at the seaside quite a bit lately, I want to maybe demo one for a couple days to see if it’s right for me. Riding mostly San Diego beach breaks, and occasional reefs, but super rare. Rob makes it look easy, but then again he IS the worlds smoothest surfers.

Machado lacks hustle and is a bad teammate. Laid back though, maybe too laid back...wait...

gordon quigg - 5 years ago

In my opinion, you surf better on the old fishes and the one I saw you riding a few years back. This one looks too erratic, flappy, and disconnected.

Jamie Ryan - 5 years ago

machado is the man. bought a fishcuit back in the day after watching him demo it. great rider, great designer and great message. I'm liking this new board for a legit replacement for my fishcuit.

Ive seen Machado here a ton of times, said a few words in passing or out in the line up and hes always cool. He’s always respectful of the line up and even lets kooks and kids have there turns, not a wave hog or agro when someone kooks it and takes off on him or anything, has great attitude at all times. True Legend and personal hero.

Grew up surfing seaside and Cardiff T7 from 84 to the present day. Have seen you there many times but never said anything. Now at 51 it blows me away to hear you say you never considered a quad. I thought it was weird that even thought I've had a grip of boards over the years I've never even riden a quad. This thing is the first one id consider. It looks sic.

How does this go in waves over 6ft?

Firewire Surfboards - 6 years ago

Works great if you like going fast. Might get a bit difficult to stall for barrels because it's so wide, but it will still pivot great off the bottom. Rob was riding it in 7-foot faces at Seaside yesterday morning, but they were soft and good for turns / carves.

Dave Martin - 6 years ago

Looks like a fun board. Your fins are interesting, I noticed the the cutaway at the base of the rear curve. I rode a windsurfer (in the surf) a few decades ago and the fins we used on them had a cutaway as well. We also tried small leader fins in front of the main fin. This seemed to reduce cavitation of water around the fin at speed. Your board looked smooth through turns ... I wonder if your fins are helping or just natural talent ...

Simon Ripia - 6 years ago

Probably the best self review of any board, so much I want one lol

I loved hearing Rob say " I didn't take it into big waves, I don't do that... It scares me". Such a humble legend

BEARDEDYAKER - 5 years ago

I was happy to hear a pro say that! I love to surf but also do not like big waves over 6' so it is nice to hear someone like Rob to admit that. He is so honest and humble as you mentioned. I would love to see him at the surf ranch but have not seen him collab with Kelly in a long time. Hope they are still close as they used to be.

Duilio Montessino - 6 years ago

This board is very very fast

Loki - 6 years ago

quad fins definitely play off each other. each fin's foil creates lift on one side and drag on the other. place two fins next to each other and the lift from the first fin reduces the drag on the front of the second fin. you get the lift of 4 fins without the full drag of 4 fins

Why'd he abandon the board eat board deal for this one? Would like to hear more technical details

Firewire Surfboards - 6 years ago

CW Rodriguez Good question - he started with a quad setup in mind and then modified the Board Eat Board concave into something that fed water to the the quad trailers specifically.

Max Crypto - 6 years ago

The fin combo is awesome! I wish more people would offer that magic fin combo!

BangTaoBeach - 6 years ago

Rob has so much style and is an Encinitas/Cardiff by the Sea treasure. Talking about tennis. What does Rob Machado have in common with retired pro tennis player Michael Chang? They both went to Oak Crest Middle School in Encinitas. I'm sure they know each other. Pretty cool.

I just realized when I watch Rob ride a wave, especially in person, I feel like I am watching a piece of art work being created. And it is almost as if it is a painting that begins and ends perfectly.

manx77 - 6 years ago

Nice. I've made my own boards since you could buy the kit from Fiberglass Hawaii (Oahu) for 35 bucks (with glass-on fin.. circa 1973). I made a 4 fin board back in 1984 - 5'10, concave deck, about 21" wide, with an 18 inch tail (wing-swallow). It was basically a modified twin (Mark Richards style), with 2 keel fins in back - all fins aimed at the nose. Fin positioning exactly like this board and otherwise similar, but wider in the tail. I needed those extra fins because I would blow the tail out on my cutbacks on a regular twin (I'm a 200 lbs, 6'3" full-power surfer...was. lol). That board was fun and very fast on the soft SoCal waves.

Indo Bule - 6 years ago

No thank you, works okay for a body board because you guys are so low and close to the wave and can grab the rail to use like a fin, but have you seen finless surfing on a surfboard?

It sucks, they need to do a poo stance to get low but still can't do proper turns, can't get barrelled properly, all you get is stop start speed and slides.

Chris Grow!!! You should be proud, since you asked Rob about quads, now there is a quad. Hopefully there will be a clip “ Rob commits to Quads” and surf all the lefts with quads and twin fins. Rob you are my favorite surfer since I was a kid, thanks for the new shape, I can’t wait to support and get my hands on the FCS version of it.

4 fin or twinzer?

Firewire Surfboards - 6 years ago

Four fin. Rob designed a brand new quad set built by both FCS and Futures. It's the first fin set of its kind to replicate keel fin sensations in a quad trailer. But all of Rob's shapes work with a variety of fin combos. In this case, a quad or a twin.

There is so much in there. One of the best things is that Rob's son has several collections of twigs and rocks stashed around the van.

Martin Luther - 6 years ago

This board looks like it will move in my local Gulf coast of Florida, Coast.
In our mushy days or quick heaving spitters, it'll hold in the pocket and doesn't look to stall.
That tail design with the four fins, looks really loose for the front widened of the board.
I'm hoping I can save enough pennies.

@WAVE RIDER Right on. When we can surf in a crowd and be generous. That's when the world will be a happy place hey.... I get plenty waves. Mostly uncrowded. I live local 5 kms away from lots of waves in the north part of the central coast NSW. I'm jus down on the tendency to dominate and control and put self first that I see in surfing. One guy at my spot put up a sign saying respect our beach. I've only lived in Oz for seven years so thought he must've lived two blocks away for 20 years. Even if he did that wouldn't have made his sign less stupid. I was chatting with him one day to find the knuckle head lived with his mum 40 kms away. Just silly, chest beating, greediness. And the dudes not even from here.

Hope you can

WAVE RIDER - 6 years ago

parraphrase

Agree with a lot your saying
The point is to not be self centered and greedy
Surfing to some is a Spiritual experience
Sharing waves and being Stoked to see others get
a good wave , laughing and smiling, having fun .
I get it , most line ups are self centered, greedy, and completely of the flesh .
Me me me , my my my, I I I
Not a good approach, and very few get it !

There are still places where you can get waves with a few people , and have a Great time

Even though most don’t do that , doesn’t mean we have to operate out of the flesh .

Hope you can’t get some good ones somewhere and have that spiritual session

And once again, I agree , it will probably have to be an uncrowded line up or just you and your friends

I try to focus on the beauty of Gods ocean and the stoke you get from wave riding, not the self centered desire of foolish humans .

Aloha

parraphrase - 6 years ago

Nah the world wouldn't be better if everyone just got waves and smiled. Look at the places where 'everyone' gets waves. Are they smiling? No! Because people are selfish and greedy and they have corrupt hearts. Surfing doesn't change us but it can, to the person who's listening, communicate some truth.. Few of us want to listen. We'd rather focus on ourselves and our pleasure at the expense of others. "That which is flesh is flesh whether surfing or not and that which is spirit is spirit." We think we're good when we're just happy.
