Kevin's verdict? While both shapes work well in small wave conditions, the Machadocado is great when you need to rely on the shape getting you down the line, carrying speed through flat sections, and fitting into a tight curve of a small wave, and the Groove is your choice for a wider variety of wave size and type, and excels in bigger waves or waves with more punch.

Pair the Machadocado with the Machado 2 + 1 Fin Set, and pair the Groove with the Machado Groove Fin Set for the best experience.
