The Sunday is one of Rob Machado’s best-selling midlengths, celebrated for its versatility, ease, and cruisey fun. Designed to handle a wide variety of conditions, it shines especially in 1–4’ surf, performing well in poor to average waves where sizing up can provide extra paddle power and float, while your regular size suits better days.
This quintessential Machado shape features a performance-oriented outline combined with thoughtfully engineered bottom contours: a gentle single concave through the front half of the board flows smoothly into a double concave under the back half, providing a dynamic balance of glide, speed, and maneuverability. Rob himself rides both shorter (5’6”) and longer (7’0”) versions, demonstrating the board’s adaptability to different waves and styles.
Whether you’re cruising mellow points or seeking extra fun on weaker days, the Sunday offers a smooth, responsive ride with plenty of paddling ease and style.
Pros:
Highly versatile across a range of small to medium surf conditions
Balanced concave design enhances speed and control

Cons:
Not designed for steep or heavy waves
May feel less aggressive than high-performance shortboards
Limited in critical maneuvers compared to more specialized shapes
Summary:
The Sunday is a dependable, fun, and versatile midlength that embodies Rob Machado’s smooth, stylish approach to small-to-medium waves. With its balanced concave setup and adaptable sizing, it suits surfers who want a comfortable, all-around board that can handle everything from flat, weak surf to cleaner, more quality days with ease and grace.
