Firewire Machado 2+1 Twin Fin Set

Introducing the Machado Twin + 1 fin set, designed to perfectly complement Rob Machado’s incredible Machadocado surfboard. This fin set is specifically tailored for this hugely popular board, helping you get the most out of every ride. But the magic doesn’t stop there—this fin set works just as well on other boards like the Lost RNF 96 or CI G-Skate, making it a versatile choice for your quiver. It’s ideal for generating lift and speed, especially on smaller to medium waves.

This template is built for tight turns and extreme control, all while giving you the drive you’d expect from a thruster. With the glide and freedom of a twin fin setup, paired with the added transitional control from a small rear trailer, the Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set combines the best of both worlds. Rob calls it perfect for “transitional moments”—when shifting from rail to rail—providing controlled sensations as you connect your lines, unlike traditional keel fins. Rob says, “You can push the 2 + 1 in turns, and it will hold whatever line you’re trying to draw.”

The set is designed with versatility in mind, performing across a wide variety of wave types. It generates speed effortlessly in weak conditions thanks to the minimal drag from the small rear trailer, yet offers enough surface area for controlled transitions in turns. The Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set is perfect for waves ranging from knee-high to overhead, making it a great all-around fin choice.

Unlike his popular Machado Twin Keel, this fin set features an upright template, making it a more performance-driven choice for tighter, arcing turns. The rear trailer brings just the right balance of control and drive, offering the best of both worlds.

What’s more, Rob is working with Kelly Slater on the design, making these fins extra special. Kelly’s focus has been on improving construction for better performance and response, while also making them eco-friendly. These fins are made with a Carbon Fiber Twill, a non-woven carbon veil, and a recycled PET core. This clever combination creates a flex pattern that lets you rip through turns, offering more hold the harder you push and a great bounce-back when coming out of fast turns.

The eco-friendly aspect of these fins is just as impressive. By using recycled materials and a screw-in design, the goal is to reduce the risk of losing fins, while the lightweight construction ensures that they float, so you won’t have to worry about them falling out of your board. With all these benefits, these fins are built to last and offer long-lasting performance.

In summary, Rob and Kelly have nailed it with this new fin design. If you’re ready to take your surfing to the next level, the Machado Twin + 1 Fin set is a must-have. Available now, and this Single Tab version is compatible with all Futures fin boxes!
