Few surfers come close to the legendary style of Rob Machado. Every subtle movement, every hand gesture, every flick of that curly hair – it’s all a meditative reaction to his surroundings. It’s mesmerizing. And his talents paired with the left-handed pointbreaks of Bali is a combination on par with fine wine and aged cheese.
The first episode of Reef’s new video series, “Just Passing Through,” shows Rob in his beloved Bali scoring some ridiculously blue barrels. We see that classic Rob Machado effortless style bobbing and bouncing his way down the line. And what better video series to embrace his ethos? The description notes: “Reef Ambassadors are forever just passing through, crossing borders, taking in cultures, and exploring foreign shores.” That’s got Rob written all over it.
