Single Sessions Ep. 10: Machadocado vs. Groove with Kevin Schulz

Press play above to watch Kevin Schulz in Single Sessions Episode 10 comparing two Rob Machado shapes built in our best-selling Helium Technology: a stock 5'2" Machadocado and a stock 5'6" Groove. This episode was filmed at Oceanside Harbor, in North County San Diego, CA.

Single Sessions is your opportunity to eaves drop on aspirational performances in relatable waves – the world’s best surfers in everyday conditions riding Firewire Surfboards and Slater Designs shapes built in Helium, I-Bolic 2.0, and Proflex Technologies.

Kevin's verdict? While both shapes work well in small wave conditions, the Machadocado is great when you need to rely on the shape getting you down the line, carrying speed through flat sections, and fitting into a tight curve of a small wave, and the Groove is your choice for a wider variety of wave size and type, and excels in bigger waves or waves with more punch.

Pair the Machadocado with the Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set, and pair the Groove with the Machado Groove Fin Set for the best experience.
