FIREWIRE MACHADO 2 + 1 FIN SET

Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set

The Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set is Rob Machado's Twin plus trailer template designed specifically for his most versatile hybrid yet, the Machadocado. Starting from a more upright, performance template rather than a keel, this template enables tight turns and extreme control, while still providing the driv

Wave Type

Notable for it's versatility over a wide variety of wave types, the Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set generates and creates speed easily in weak conditions because of the minimal drag provided by the small rear trailer. However with just enough surface area in the trailer to enable controlled transition in turns, the 2 + 1 Fin Set by Rob Machado provides enough transitional control to be considered an all-around fin set in waves knee-high to overhead.

Fin Template

The Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set is an upright template, as opposed to his best-selling Machado Twin Keel. This offers a more performance-oriented approach to drawing lines, and allows for tight arcing turns. Paired with the rear trailer, this fin set is the perfect balance of control and drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fin boxes are these compatible with?

Please check the product title and specifications — Firewire and Slater Designs fins are available in FCS, FCS II, and Futures configurations. Make sure your board's fin boxes match the fin system.

How do I install these fins?

Insert the fin tab into the fin box and tighten the set screw finger-tight. Use the fin key provided or a standard fin key. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the fin box.

Can I use these fins in all wave conditions?

These fins are designed for performance surfing across a range of conditions. Larger fin templates provide more drive and hold in bigger, more powerful waves, while smaller templates offer increased speed and release in smaller surf.

Care & Maintenance

Rinse fins with fresh water after each session. Store in a protective fin sock or case to avoid scratching. Inspect fins for cracks or chips before each session. Do not overtighten fin screws — finger-tight is sufficient.
