Firewire Groove Helium 5’11 x 20 ¼ x 2 9/16 Surfboard

When everything goes your way. Find your Groove. Meet the highest-performance board Rob Machado’s ever designed. This shape still has the hybrid DNA Rob’s known for, but it’s the closest thing to a high-performance shortboard Rob’s ever created. The Groove’s rocker and tail template bring this shape back into the world of being able to come square off the bottom and go square off the lip, what everyone calls ‘high-performance surfing.’ Rob added in more rocker than his typical shapes, with a tail rocker that puts you tight in the pocket and elevated nose rocker to help you come down tight off the lip without catching your nose. For a classic high-performance feel, pair it with the Machado Groove Tri-Quad Fin Set, or for a unique twist in smaller waves, try it with a Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set.

As Rob explains, “all surfboards have a balance of speed and control, and the Groove is all about controlling the speed a good wave gives you. It’s the most responsive, high-performance board I’ve ever designed.”
