Machado Seaside

[DroppingOnYou]

Noel clearly loving it. Looks like it surfs really well (obviously he surfs very well). Might have to look at one. Love my helium Stubby Bastard.

noels "best performance fish ever"
"fastest little board to date"

Not a Firewire, Fish or Quad fan but somehow this looks pretty good, probably Noel's surfing does it.

 

[racer1]

He's ripping on it and normally he hates fish types.

Gregg was right, they're going to sell a ton of these.

Noel selling ads on his channel? I thought Youtube shut that down.

Done Deal ! Bang - Boom !

I think it looks a little too small for Noel at times? Anyone see that? Like an inch or two longer would be better looking on him.

More importantly, why is Noel wearing booties in 65* water :confused2:

Wetsuit police out :jam_on:

 

[rgruber]

I could have sworn he paddles by a guy with a hood. WTF?

Also if we're on the subject, the skeleton wetsuit?

Done Deal ! Bang - Boom !

That’s my next board!

Or so I’m told.

I m more curious about the fins than the board. The dims are too short length wise, not really suitable for tall surfers. Noel absolutely rips in every single board review either way, hard to judge the board just by seeing him surfing it. However he does a great break down of the design !

Me too, here’s what I found:

NVS Version in G10

Futures Version in Honeycomb

For the wetsuit police- it seems like more guys in SoCal are wearing hoods... I think more to prevent/delay Surfers Ear once the water gets in the mid 60's, than for the cold itself. I can't get used to a hood myself, so I prefer the SurfEars plugs. Highly recommend

I start wearing a hood pretty early in the season for a few reasons.

1. I go north of conception often and just want to be used to wearing one.

2. I can wear a thinner suit with the hood. Hood basically gives you 1 mm worth of wetsuit.

2b. It delays the necessity of booties.

3. My ears hurt all the time (cauliflower) so the hood give me some protection when get pitched.

 

[griffinsurfboard]

Both my ears are to be drilled out this next year - I win ! ;-)

I've started wearing a hood in SD almost exclusively for ear reasons.

hahaha. I was just talking to a guy at the harbor about this. Booties don’t come out until the water is around 58. Although I have been thinking about wearing them just for the walk back to the car. I park in the free parking lot and had a serious case of stump foot the other day...

 

[obslop]

been surfing with a fractured toe for 3-4 weeks now. wear a bootie on that foot and don't even notice it anymore.

$140 for the fin set in futures.
damn.
wonder how much a custom quad set is then....

in 2000, $140 that was a blank and glassjob for me.

 

[laidback]

I'd like to watch machado shape one of those :bigdeal:

 

[Retropete]

Well he only needed to do it once.
