Machado Seaside Quad Gallery Edition Fin Set
type: Product

It’s the best of keel fin feelings, distilled into quad form for any quad shape you ride. Today, this new and updated version of my original quad set was improved to create more of a balanced and all-around performance characteristic across a variety of different surfboard shapes. The front two fins are slightly more raked back than the original, and the two quad trailers are slightly more upright than the original. I did this to maintain the same carving characteristics of the original quad set, while adding in a new ability to pivot more tightly and immediately than the…
