East Coast vs. West Coast Surfing: X GAMES THROWBACK | World of X Games

In 2006, X Games tried a new spin on surf competitions: East Coast vs. West Coast. Picking athletes from both sides of the U.S., X Games landed in Puerto Escondido, Mexico for a head-to-head match up that featured some of the world’s best surfers, including Tom Curren, Rob Machado, Dane Reynolds for the West Coast, plus Shea and Cory Lopez for the East Coast. Hosted by Selema Masekela and run a month before the remainder of competitions in Los Angeles, surfing at the X Games kicked off a stacked summer of competitions in 2006.

FCS II Rob Machado "FW Glazer" Tri-Keel

Designed by Rob in conjunction with his Firewire "Glazer" Model, this high-performance keel fin provides a fast and loose feel.

“This new thruster set with FCS is my evolution of a keel fin into a thruster with a keel vibe.” - RM

Much shorter and wider than a traditional thruster set, these tri keel fins feature a more upright side fin for plenty of speed and a swept-back centre fin for added control.
