Rob Machado’s Open Mind
As he’ll tell you, doors started opening for Rob Machado when he left the tour. Mostly, that means he could ride fruitier boards. In this webisode of Dragon’s Frame Of Mind, Rob talks about learning to shape under Mr Merrick, then gets busy on some of his designs.
Rob, it’s your manager dude. So, yeah, call me. Oh, you threw your phone away while riding a retro motorcycle to Desert Point to erect a tent INSIDE a warung? OK. Anyway, if you get this message…
The Drifter was the worst fucking thing I have ever seen. Good surfing though, he shreds and is a legend but that movie was very freakin contrived.
You are just jealous, cause you are probably balding
milking the hair / pretend earth loving sellout.
timeless surfing – but a contrived fuck.
I watch the drifter in mute and its great

machardo is so baked at the start.
Surely he must recognize (or at least have been told) that his best surfing (performance vertical fast powerful innovative surfing) is when he’s on a conventional thruster the alaiia/sperm whale shapes definitely hold him back
I’m so envious of Rob…getting paid to grow your hair out and surf 2 contests per year, and only have to make 1 heat at that.
milking the hair / pretend earth loving sellout.
Will u just go away Rob Machado , before i fucking drown u!

Machado? I thought he was dead?
guy is a gary!
everyone wants to be able to experiment and raps to him cause he had the balls to steer clear of the norm and enjoy surfing despite all the hype.
His words were thoughtful and introspective…ultimate respect…has created an unfettered and expressive “post-TOUR” life-path as a surf exploring ambassador on his own terms…
…the HATERs are envious…
This is merely hurley and CI ‘s way of capturing a specific market that may be on their way out of surfing (momentum generation) or slightly dissillusioned by it and giving them something which may spark their interest again and make sure they keep buying hurley jumpers and clearly not very functional, funny shaped surfboards. A promo ad basically.
They are using rob, his looks, image, vibe etc; and he is using them to fund his ‘lifestyle’. All he has to do is grow his hair and keep talking like he is soulful and stoned and pretend to ‘live the dream.’
Good luck to him – i know i’m jealous.
Rob style is timeless but his act is not. his image seems fake and for that it’s difficult to be a fan.
why do we keep hearing the same shit from pros who think they are taking some alternate path yet end up all saying the same shit ,shut up and surf.
so impressed by his 2$ philosophy…
Ride and shut your mouse please.
douchbag
so he went off the tour and has pretty much just been going surfing and is paid for that? what a pointless existence. No offence but there is real shit going on in the world pal. This bloke should not be held up as anything to aspire to.
Al doesn’t shape any more it’s his son!! hasn’t for years cause he’s got cancer……watch the documentary FLOW……are rob you are so transparent it make’s myself and everyone i know sick,U r an industry whore who is only kidding himself
Kunt Rips…Enough Said!
