Xtra foam 🤝 Xtra fun. Sheldon Simkus

The XTRA CADO in Helium Technology designed by Rob Machado, is a midlength evolution of his best-selling Machadocado. Designed with plenty of foam to get you up and gliding with a deep single concave that turns into a double concave, with panels down the rails to make the transitions easier. The shape’s outline is pleasing to the eye, with a semi-rounded nose and a smooth squash tail, following in the footsteps of Rob’s popular Machadocado.

Our team’s been loving the Machado Seaside Quad Fin Set to pair with the XTRA CADO.

Head to your local surf shop to throw one under your arm.

Sheldon Simkus wrapping it back. 🔁

Every surfer should have a hybrid in their quiver, and Sheldon Simkus’s go-to is the Mashup in Helium Technology, designed by Dan Mann and Rob Machado.

Two minds, one shape. The Mashup brings together Dan’s popular Spitfire and Rob’s best-selling Seaside. The result? A hybrid that generates speed in weak waves, but still has the drive to go vertical when the waves turn on. It’s the ultimate hybrid you’ll never want to take out of your trunk.

Pair it with our Firewire Velox Fin Set for more performance, or try the Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set for a freer, more playful feel.

Available at your local surf shop.

“Flow is the art of connecting major maneuvers seamlessly throughout your ride.” — taylorjensen

Noserides, turns, cross steps, trim. Learning the maneuvers is one thing. Learning how to connect them is where longboarding really starts to come together.

In Episode 6 of Beginner’s Guide To Longboarding, Taylor breaks down the timing, positioning and patience behind great flow, and why you can’t force what the wave isn’t giving you.

The dropknee turn didn’t start with style. It started with function.

Back at Birds Surf Shed, Taylor Jensen and Bird Huffman dig into how surfers began using the move to get more leverage over bigger boards, better control their positioning, and go where they wanted to go on the wave. Over time, function became style, and the dropknee became one of longboarding’s defining power moves.

Episode 5 of Beginner’s Guide to Longboarding: The Dropknee Turn, is now playing at our link in bio.

Head to your local surf shop to check out Taylor Jensen’s longboard designs he rides throughout the series.
