Rob Machado's Twin Plus Trailer Template
The Firewire Surfboards Machado Twin + 1 Fin Set is Rob Machado's twin plus trailer template, designed specifically for his most versatile hybrid board yet, the Machadocado. Surfers searching for a Machado 2 + 1 setup are looking for exactly this fin combination.
How the 2 + 1 Setup Rides
Starting from a more upright, performance template rather than a keel, this fin set enables tight turns and extreme control while still providing the drive of a thruster. It carries the glide and slide of a twin fin with the added transitional control provided by a small rear trailer. Rob Machado designed the 2 + 1 to give the freedom of his favorite fish shape combined with the control of his favorite thruster setup.
Built for Transitional Moments
This set is perfected for what Rob calls transitional moments, the instant of shifting from rail to rail mid wave. It creates more controlled sensations when connecting lines than a traditional keel fin. As Rob Machado puts it, you can push the 2 + 1 in turns and it will hold whatever line you are trying to draw.
Who This Fin Set Is For
This set suits surfers riding a Machadocado or similar hybrid fish shaped board who want more drive and control than a pure twin or keel setup while keeping that twin fin glide. It fits riders who move rail to rail often and want a fin set built specifically for that transition rather than a general purpose thruster.
Fitting and Caring for the Fins
- Single tab variants are compatible with the Futures fin system, so confirm your board's box type before installing
- Rinse fins in fresh water after saltwater sessions and dry fully before storing
- Keep the trailer fin paired with its matching twin set rather than mixing components from a different fin configuration
