What an incredibly sweet moment to have shared, not just with each other, but with the public, who-based in the comments here-can’t always suspend judgement for the moment necessary to take perspective and temper any gut reactions and steer a more deliberate response or reaction towards the most humility, sensitivity and compassion possible. Mahalo for being so accessible and vulnerable. I was moved by the joy you were sharing with each other as a surfing father and daughter. Surfing with my father are some of my most cherished memories. Life is a bittersweet journey. Loss, separation, distance-they’re part of it, in an endless myriad of ways. No life is free of them. None are immune. Everyone has to find their own way to negotiate those aspects of their journey, and thankfully, some do it with the style, grace, humility and vulnerability that the Machados have shown us. They are, indeed, both legends. Mahalo nunui, my day has been infused with a little more beauty and joy for having watched this. And I hope your lives are improved twice as much for having shared it. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
For all the negative comments about him as a dad. Chances are 100% you don't know him, his family or the circumstances. Unless you do (I do), I wouldn't pass ANY judge against him or any dad.
I thought the same. Like they, literally, missed the whole vibe of the video. She does not sound or look bummed at all. People are so quick to judge. It's sad, really.
I do believe so, I read an article/interview and if I’m not mistaken I think his ex wife was seeing other guys while he wasn’t around. It was an article about his biopic the drifter, and I think it was pretty rough on him. I could be totally wrong too and maybe he fucked up somewhere but ya know, nobody is perfect just because you surf good don’t mean much outside of the water.
Ya. I am not sure I understood that. Does he surf with her at this wavepool once a year or does he see her once a year. Needs some clarification. ( We only see each other once a year surfing like only the both of us.) It could be her Franglish but it is still kinda confusing. Does not seem like the dead beat dad type.
Awww... makes me weep that I never had kids. That connection must feel amazing. Better than any drug ever.
My favorite surfer too
Nothing better than surfing with your daughter 🤙
rob machado, you are really a nice person. Thanks for sharing brother
I'm a dad who surfs with my daughter's plural !! I really love this video. You guys should make it more then once a year

Seeing his daughter ONLY once a year? I don't care what the circumstances are, that wouldn't be acceptable.
You see you daughter once a year!!! That's slack as f***!! Clearly has his priorities all wrong!!
Just lost respect for the fella.
