Rob Machado is, without a doubt, one of the smoothest, most stylish surfers in the world. He’s the epitome of economy of movement, a perfect example of why, exactly, less really is more. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast, as they say, and Rob Machado makes surfing look as fun as it actually feels, which is saying a lot.
He’s not a one-board guy, either. He’s a man of many and varied tastes, a man who likes to dip his toes in different waters, a man who will keep his mind open. He’s got shorter, fatter boards. He’s got longer, wider boards. He’s got plain ol’ thrusters, quads, and twins. If it slides on a wave, he’ll give it a go. Here he is giving a 7’0 Sunday model a go in fun little waves in Mexico.
