One of the most stylish and successful American goofyfoots of all time was almost an Australian. That's right: Rob Machado, Cardiff's humble, smooth-flowing prodigal son, former world runner-up and reigning Pipe Master, could have easily been a cocky, animal-nicknamed ocker who had a single purpose in life: stop those American wankers. And the scary thing is, he just might have done it.
Machado was born in a Sydney hospital to Jim and Chris Machado, a California surfer and British student who had met at an Australian ski lodge in the mid '60s. Rob's father, Jim, who had grown up surfing under Ricky Grigg's tutelage, decided to hit the road after a short stint in the military and a couple of years of community college. Australia was the highlight of his travels, and with the escalating war in Vietnam and the unstable political climate in the States, Machado left his Culver City home and took the slow boat to the land Down Under. Fourteen years, a wife, two sons, a beautiful Collora home and a handful of careers (he worked as everything from a Laundromat owner to restaurant owner to a construction worker) later, Machado -- feeling the tug of his roots -- bought his family's return tickets back to America.
