Today it is an honor and privilege to be able to speak with not only a surfing legend but also a man who is building a legacy for his children and others to follow, whether it be with the zen-like flow he has whether on land or in the ocean, or his efforts to protect that ocean from pollution.His name is Rob Machado. Rob was consistently seeded at the top of the rankings as a competitor on the ASP World Tour. With 12 career WCT victories, Machado was ranked among the top ten surfers for eleven straight years and was inducted into the Surfer’s Hall of Fame in 2000 and re-inducted in 2006 and SIMA Waterman of the Year in 2011.

Rob is a father of 3, and lives in San Diego, California with his wife and kids.
