Description:
Machete represents the essence of the four fin revolution. Just about everyone who tries this board wants one immediately, and most people immediately make it a centerpiece of their quiver. A board that gives you drive on your bottom turn but releases loose on your snap sounds like a fairy tail, but here it is! The Machete¡¯s twin lateral fins running in parallels under a slightly wide tail help you blaze through sections and firmly grip steep vertical faces. Extra tail lift, strong edge hold and a wide template combine with shallow concave to bestow radical pivoting power on even moderate riders. The Machete will get you racing down the line, whipping controlled spins off the lip, and feeling like you should be on tour.
The Machete II is the same team tested shape as the Machete, with the advantage of board-stiffening, strength-enhancing, easy to grip deck channels.
Size:
Machete is wider and has thicker rails than your probably used to, so depending on how much you want to smooth out your ride, we typically recommend it 2-6 inches shorter that your shortboard
