Introducing Rob Machado’s New Signature Stick

Rob Machado makes every surfboard look good. 

His combination of style and skill can transform the pluggiest stick into a certified blade, at least in the eyes of the viewer. That’s why, when Machado comes out with a new board that he’s worked on for years – from its shape to its construction to its accompanying fins – you know the thing will actually work.

Introducing the Seaside, Machado’s new performance fish. 

According to Rob, this board was based off his famous Go Fish model but has a few specific refinements, including an obligatory four-fin setup (for which Machado has designed a custom set of skegs) and an altered outline.

The Seaside looks incredibly fast and loose, with the ability to also surf legitimate waves (see his Teahupo’o night at 2:56).

Coming into Aussie summer, it’s likely our readers will be looking for something to disrupt the flatness. The Seaside could be a terribly fun option.
