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.

@beardedyaker9767 4 жыл бұрын

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.

@parraphrase 5 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

I got the 5'7 too. I'm 25 y/o and I also am 5'9 168, couldn't be happier with a board, and I'm just above a beginner, that board is SO easy to have fun with! And so fast. Unfortunately a guy decided to bail his longboard and it smashed the poor thing's rail while I was on a wave, but I drilled and injected some epoxy and now it's all good except the three ugly holes lol

@bloblablah7409 Жыл бұрын

Wtf... is everyone 5'9 168lbs?! I'm also a fellow 5'9er 168 pounder and I'm looking at getting a 5'5. I have experience with a couple Helium boards already and they're easy to accidentally oversize. Helium construction boards like to sit higher in the water and tend to feel more floaty, so make sure you really dial in the right size for you when it comes to these guys or else they might start feeling very boaty if you go just a little too big. You gotta find that happy medium between getting a board big enough that you can catch waves and be happy - but not too big that you have to baby all your turns.

I rode Seaside in the 80s and 90s. I surfed from 67 to 95. I had a 5’4” board with a single deep skeg and since I liked to take off late , I had a 2” fin on each rail (egg with a hard edge)about a 16 to 18 inches from the tail. They helped keep me in a wall. No side slipping. It had a good kick in the nose to keep from pearling. A kid stole it on a beach in Mazatlan. It was my best. The board you have looks pretty rad. I wish I could try it. Do some hot doggin. Lol.

it’s a great shape @ Chob...def about the more keel style fins for twins/quads...having the extra width on the base and more upright profile is great...skaty and fast w some drive and losing that 5th fin box is key to make it truly work. so many times i’ve gotten just run out by a section or just missing the exit of a barrel ...

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.

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 ...

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
