I struggled to like my mashup, the rocker that makes it fast with that flat spot vs the continuous rocket of the seaside felt odd. At 38L I was missing waves but my 38L tomo paddled better

I'm the same. I don't find Rob's boards easy to surf. I have a Cado, and it feels like a fight with both boards. I have been tempted to get a Seaside, but a few have said the same as you; it is very strange. Some find the models really easy and fun to ride!🤙

Only to find ourselves not surfing like him and leaves us BLAMING "OURSELVES" AND SOMETIMES, "NOT" THE BOARD. I'm tired of giving my thousands and thousands of dollars to Rob Machado & his family clan already. That's why I put my 5’2” Machadocado up for sale after watching your Video Clip COMPARISON. I Love Your NOT A SALES MEN. But just a normal local ripper. Letting your surfing steer us in the right direction with you surfing average waves that we typically surf most days out of the year. Side Note: I traded my seaside my 5'5 for a 5'4" Tomo Revo I know it's not a grovler and I took it out on a crappy small ankle high day. Which I had no business taking it out. I should've busted out a longboard instead so I didn't get a really good feel for it but I did catch over 30 waves within the two hours l've been out. I did get lucky with two sneaky sets, rolling in at least chest high. And Bam the snaps and re-entries a Whatever I thought in my brain the board responded the way I wanted it to.. Crazy snaps crazy re-entries, and I even sneaked in a figure & on the worst crappiest wave day in planet history. I can only imagine when I take that Revo on a solid 6 to 8 feet Hawaiian day

And you're 100% correct I think l'm going for the the brand new 5'4" in helium construction I know it's supposed to be better then the LFT but l'm hoping it doesn't work the opposite and very spot on the 5'3 looks like there's no dings watertight in LFT, but that white turned into brown as brown, could be. The 5'5" in helium is pretty hard to make out because of the pictures and it's taken in the shade and not in the sunlight and if I've been doing my homework right, it looks like an older TOMO graphic design, then TOMO latest graphic designs because I definitely been studying these boards within the past week like a hawk

I went on to dark arts website and I technically don't know what l'm doing. They give you the option of choosing your construction, which is carbon partially carbon and so far the size and dimensions is no problem. It's the construction part where they lose me. The fin box is no problem I would op for futures. And they also give you a color option which I probably would go with the standard black carbon, but then I also be worrying about the wax melting superfast all the time because I had black boards in the past even in the board bag it melts. By the time I got done with checkout from cart it looked to be pricey, roughly $1,500 because of the shipping to Hawaii so I got out of that screen as quick as I could hate pissing off my wife, which I already do most times Surfing does that at times so I might go with the 5'4" brand new in helium even at 29 L is way more than my volume range but l'm sure like you said I will definitely make it work specially for a grovler sometimes foam can be your friend

It was me just being a brother this past weeks, watching your Clips time and time and countless time again to where I just had to give my honest productive criticism as a brother would look out for a brother, the same way you looking out for us in the Surfing community Young and Old. I totally agree with you about punishing ourselves when it's totally not us, sometimes it is, but it's only because we have high expectations and no our Surfing capabilities because we've been there before and how do one go backwards that just doesn't make sense and that's where frustration comes in because of the video clips we watch and when we try to put it into reality, it just doesn't lineup. where I can honestly say I'm guilty.

@robcampbell8383 Thank you🙏 That is a 5’6” 32.2L. It was the only one in the shop so I didnt have much choice. I'm 5’11” 78kg. It depends on how paddle-fit you are. I paddled it yesterday and wouldn't want it to be any thinner😂 but I am a little out of shape and only surf a couple of times a week @ the moment. When I was younger, I could ride little slippers with no problem. But from my experience with the Evo, you can ride it longer, and it will still be loose. If you are super fit and paddling a thin board isn't a problem, go smaller. The Helium construction seems more buoyant, so that's something to consider. Mine is an LFT. It's tricky to prioritise volume and length, eh? I ordered a Revo a few days ago and decided to go for the 5’7” 31.4L. After paddling the Evo yesterday, I am worried that I should have gotten the 5’8” 33L. So I'm hoping I can paddle it when it arrives 😂🤞🤙

@surfingtipsandtricks 11 күн бұрын
I am 78kg, and I have the 5’8”. It paddles pretty well. What do you usually ride, litres? I think you could go up if you wanted to; it has nice rails, and the step tail makes the rail line nice and low through the tail. The 5’9” is 34.1L They have done an excellent job of hiding the foam in the board. You have to consider how much you surf and how paddle-fit you are. I'm not always paddle fit because I can't surf every day, so I have to have my boards a bit thicker than I would choose if I were super fit🤙

nice flash review, I really like that you tried it as a pure Twin. I tried the one I have with larger fins but mistakenly used a trailer too, and it was dragging. visibly dragging. Thanks for the inspiration, I will try it this weekend. :) Cheers
@surfingtipsandtricks 12 күн бұрын
Thanks 🙏, yeah, give it a go. Some find that it lights the board up for them. I was listening to a Tomo interview, and he talked about how a deep concave through the tail sits the board down in the water and acts like a back fin. He was talking about the Revo ( it has a different bottom shape, V and concaves), but the Cado has a deep double Concave running through it; it's the same principle, and if you stick a big trailer in the back, it may make the board stiff. I know how double concaves work, and they squirt speed. I shaped 200 boards and also glassed and sanded them back in the '90s and early 2000s, with no shaping machine and a lot of dust😂 ( I made a lot of fish/small wave boards for myself) but I honestly can't get any speed on this board, and I'm not sure why😂😅 I wonder if that is making the board slow. (maybe it would have been better as quad) I looked at my footage, and the board 5’6 is too big for me. A 5’2 would be the size, but it doesnt have enough volume. If you have the Machado 2+1, maybe try a small Trailer fin. That was my next option. The Machdo 2+1 without a back fin is the best fun I have had on it. I bought the Machado Keels. It just feels slow for me! Good luck at the weekend😀🤙

I didn't intentionally post the clips to compare the Evo with the Mashup, but you are spot on! I have been punishing myself, wondering what's wrong with me and why I can't surf these boards and also having bad surfs. And that is several months on the Mashup. I was frothing to get the Mashup and then the Cado, which, with two sets of fins and grips, is a substantial amount of money as you know. I am a big Rob Machado fan, but your comments say precisely what I'm thinking: I'm not going to surf either board again; I'm going to sell them too. I'll buy a Revo or see if I can get my hands on a Dark Arts version of the Evo and also test some different shapes and brands. I'm stoked that the Revo felt good for you.

Great review. I think you were spot on with the thruster setup, I found it a bit tight as a Thruster. I attributed it to the Large Fanning fins I was using but maybe it was just the thruster setup. 2+1 is definitely the setup for this board. That board look good on you btw. Also, what size Spit were you on? For me, although I'm a thin guy, I surfed the 5'8 spitfire but now surf the 5'4 Mashup, they are 4L apart. Just curious, the spit with it wide point back for me forced me to surf it longer.

One thing I particularly didn't like about the Evo was it felt like it pushed water when you first stood up, until after that first pump. Once you got it going though, very fast.

Evo was ground breaking! I still have one that I surf occasionally and a 23 litre Evo that I use for Kitesurfing. The Evo is not a groveler. I find it best in shoulder to well overhead range. On the little Evo I regularly kite really big surf in really high wind. The design will deal with way more speed and power than what you get from surfing.

I been using my Machadocado with Robs Two plus one trailer set up and Love it. Love the board. So all I did is yank the trailer and tried it that way as a twin. Was a miss. Did not work out for me. But, the other day I tried throwing in my old school K2 Keel set in and Walllahhhhh Magic. Board came to life in the crappiest of crappiest high tide inconsistent surf. My buddies were scratching their head wondering how I was skating across an ankle biter with tremendous speed snaps and cut backs. Lol Cheat Code. Thanks Brother. Aloha From Hawaii. Ps: Did you ever try the FireWire Too Fish? Wondering if that should ever be my next investment. Some thing just to cruise and not try to Rip / shred and try so hard on. Currently I own the 5’2 Machadocado Helium , 5’5 SeaSide Volcanic, 5’2 Sweet Potato in Helium

Interesting. With the Machado 2+1, I find it a fight with the board. The other day, I tried it with just the set-up without the trailer fin, and that was fun but a little loose. I got the Machado keels a couple of days ago, and I surfed them yesterday, but the waves were terrible. Stoked you have hit the sweet spot 🤙 the Too Fish looks fun and cruzy. I really would like to surf that board and the Seaside🤙

That's a good question; mine is too big for me, but it was the only one. The 5’4 “ would have been better. It's a great paddler, and with the duckbill nose, it catches waves early. I like to catch lots of waves ( like everyone 😂), and I'm not surfing every day so that volume benefits me. I think if your paddle fit, you can go smaller. It depends on what your priority is. Even though mine is a little oversized, I can still throw it around. Thank you for the kind words and subscribing.🙏 let me know how the Evo goes for you🤙

Still fairly unexperienced on the topic, but my current daily driver is a 5'6 Sweet Potato. Worked out really well helping me in the transition from a 8'0 foamie and I just love this board as it allowed me to stay in the water no matter what. Now I started to feeling it a bit oversized and whenever I want to attack the face a bit more vertical I end up catching the nose because the nose is pretty wide (I think it is something like 22 inches wide). My next daily driver will be a SubXero by JS, in Carbotune: I got a 5'5, slightly under the 20 inches wide. It comes with 29 litres, which should be my correct "grovel" range. It will be challenging for sure having almost 10 litres less, but I just cannot wait to see how it will go. But the EVO will be my final goal: I loved the board from the first time I've seen one and I want to try it out myself so hard. I will consider getting the DarkArts version from Boardshop, those guys are great (already purchased from them). Thanks for this amazing video, watching an EVO flying around is always magical to me. Best!

Considering how junky those waves look, it looks like a fun board. You can only do so much in fat weak waves performance wise. Machado's boards seem to let you get the most out of those kinds of conditions and then the boards go unreal when you get some decent waves. I might have to get one.

Just saw an interview with Rob and it sounds like he actually developed the board as a twin using his Keels and only last minute added the 2+1. I’m assuming as a marketing opportunity for those fins. Anyway, I went ahead and grabbed a set of his keels to test out. Haven’t tried them yet, but visually the area of those fins and the way they’re placed on the board when installed looks like an ideal complement to the tail shape and width. Will update if I get them out there soon.
@surfingtipsandtricks 24 күн бұрын
Yes, the keels loosen up the board. Would love to know how Robs keels work with the board before I spend any more money 😂👍 I think that for me, the only way I'm really going to have fun with it is to surf it as a twin fin. I saw a new video with Kevin Schulz comparing the Too Fish with the Cado, and he was catching rails on the Cado ( 2+1 set-up). Granted, the waves were really hard to ride with a lot of backwash. He does one great layback! But the Too Fish is looking much more fluid🤙 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iniThIOcgtGgeMUsi=u-d8Am_fBHSHf0aK
@trestlesrocks 23 күн бұрын
@@surfingtipsandtricks watching Schulz on a tiny 5’2 just further reinforces in my mind that I should’ve gotten the 5’6” instead of the 5’8”. With the width in that tail and the bottom contours I think the lift created would warrant running a bit lower volume than expected. I went up in volume with the 5’8” compared to my regular shortboard think “It’s a groveler, a little volume won’t hurt”. But I can’t help myself from wanting maximum responsiveness. Might get my hands on a 5’6” and compare before deciding which to keep.
@surfingtipsandtricks 22 күн бұрын
Yes, I think that's true; for me, the 5’6 feels like a bit of a lump of a board and feels slow. Probably, the 5’4 would have been a better option. I still haven't surfed it in ideal waves, but I have surfed it in the sort of waves I surf a lot. It's great that you can change them🤙 I thought the comparison Kevin Schultz did with the Too Fish (high tide session) I thought he was catching rails on the Cado!

@@surfingtipsandtricks based on the template, the 5’4” looks like the best fit for me, but it’s too thin.

nice review , the Evo looks way faster and free in turns , Rob Machado makes all boards look fast , even the Glazer which I had and found it to be a pig to surf slowest board Ive ever surfed, it caught the wave early but wouldnt drop down them and lacked drive out of turns , it was like there was way too much going on in the bottom shape , with all the concaves and Vee off the side , made it suck onto the face.
@surfingtipsandtricks 25 күн бұрын
I think you're right about the bottom shapes. The Mashup and the Cado feel like they have resistance and don't easily project down the line-particularly the Cado. “Suck into the Face” is spot on just surfed the Cado in 5-foot, fairly powerful waves, and it didnt feel great; I'm pretty disappointed, but I will have to keep going and hopefully master it. With deck grips and fins, it was 1k for each board🙁
