ROB MACHADO ON STYLE, SURFBOARDS, KELLY SLATER, PIPE MASTERS AND A LOT MORE | VON FROTH CAST 02

Here we go, folks. The second episode of our latest project, Von Froth Cast, features the LEGEND himself: Rob Machado. Yep, you read that correctly.

In case you don't know who Rob Machado is, here's a little intro: Rob is arguably one of the biggest icons in surfing, ever. Whether it's for his unique surfing style, his starring roles in Taylor Steele's films such as "Loose Change" and "Drifter," which became references for a whole generation, or his very-successful competitive career with multiple wins on the World Tour, including a Pipe Masters, Rob has made a lasting impact, to say the least, before leaving the tour and becoming the free surfing legend we know today. Also, talk about a nice guy.

Without further ado, tune in for the second episode of Von Froth Cast with Rob Machado!
