Introducing the Macy-Boo, Rob Machado's first longboard design, a user-friendly shape created with his daughter, Macy.
Rob has been making logs for his daughter Macy for quite a few years, drawing inspiration from his personal quiver of surfboards, from short to long. Influences include Donald Takayama's "Model T," Skip Frye's gliders, and an old photo of Macy's grandfather riding a classic Australian log.
Rob had a custom from Donald dating back to the late '90s, a board that the California style icon rode on a trip to Costa Rica with Joel Tudor and Skip Frye for the filming of Thomas Campbell's Sprout. Other inspirations include a Hansen Surfboards 5050, a Ryan Burch noserider, and a 9'6" Skip Frye glider.
"Logs have been in my life from way back. I live right in front of Cardiff Reef and I'm surrounded by some of the best loggers in the world. Tudor, Burch... I'm blessed to be surrounded by such amazing surfboard builders that have inspired me to ride all different types of surfboards and experience an abundance of feelings of wave riding."
This traditional-style log features a single concave under the nose, a rolled belly through the middle feeding into vee through the back section, and a flipped tail rocker designed for nose riding.
Pair it with the Machado Macy-Boo 10" Single Fin for the best experience. The fin was designed specifically for the Macy-Boo.
