Xtra Cado – Rob Machado
Who?
The Xtra Cado is for surfers drawn to the midlength space—those who want an easy, flowing ride without the effort of a high-performance shortboard.
Ideal for anyone looking to glide, draw longer turns, and simplify their session, it suits a wide range of surfers thanks to its added foam and user-friendly feel.
What?
A midlength evolution of the Machadocado, the Xtra Cado blends shortboard responsiveness with midlength glide.
Designed by Rob Machado, it features a clean, balanced outline with a semi-rounded nose and smooth squash tail.
A deep single concave transitions into a double concave with rail panels for smoother, more forgiving rail-to-rail transitions.
Built with five fin boxes, it allows for multiple setups—Quad, Twin, or Thruster—giving you total freedom to tune the ride.
When?
Perfect for days when you don’t feel like pushing hard or when the waves lack punch.
The Xtra Cado excels in clean, smaller surf where glide and flow matter most, but can be adapted for a range of conditions depending on your fin setup.
It’s the go-to for relaxed sessions, easy wave-catching, and drawing out smooth, stylish lines.
