The Motor Boat by Rob Machado

Model Description

The Motor Boat by Rob MachadoRob Machado wanted to bridge the gap between his Biscuit and Gravy, the Motorboat does that. Low entry rocker along with single to double concave with vee make this board really motor. Super fast and fun in flat faced waves, the Motorboat blends performance and volume into the ideal small to medium wave performance board.

Motorboats are built with either “Greenfoam” or recycled EPS, UV cure resins, and recycled fins, as Rob also wanted to make the Motorboat less impactful on the environment. A limited edition run of 75 boards signed by Rob are planned to have foam waste combined with concrete for water fountains commissioned by Rob’s foundation for schools.

    Bought a 5’10 Dumpster Diver last week. Riden it in knee high slop and punchy head high surf and it’s awesome! I’m 6’3 and 190lbs and it paddled really easy! Got into waves early and with it’s short wide outline was really fast and fun to ride! There’s a serios amount of tail rocker in this board which is amazing for snapping off the top and releasing the tail really easily! I also have a Fred Rubble and Motorboat, I find the Dumpster Diveer fits in between the two and compliments my quiver nicely. Thanks Al!
