Rogue Van Co. catches a Wave with Machado

Rogue Van Company and Surfer Rob Machado Collaborated on a Limited-Edition Sprinter Van — But There’s a Catch

Rogue Van Company and legendary surfer Rob Machado have unveiled a unique new collaboration: a limited-edition, surf-forward Mercedes Sprinter van, the Rogue Wave, designed by Rob and built by the Rogue team. The catch? Only 10 will be made. If you’re a fan of surfing and overlanding, I encourage you to scoop one up before they’re all gone. Want more details? Read on.

The Rogue Wave’s feature set includes: a removable galley, which includes a fridge, sink, and stove, as well as an on-boarding ramp to make moving a cinch; a Garage Cargo area that features a removable surfboard quiver, which mounts to the L-track running down the center of the van; modular seating, with the capability to add 2-3 more seats with seat belts; and woven Chilewich wall panels, which feature a low VOC construction and ethical manufacturing processes.

The Rogue Wave comes with 300W of solar panels, a removable 48V battery, a 22-gallon greywater tank and 37 gallon freshwater tank, four-season comfort and a 144-inch wheelbase, which makes it maneuverable with plenty of cargo space. Additionally, the Machado Build will feature a limited run of HEST bedding, designed specifically for the Rob Machado collaboration, as well as plenty of other custom features and gear.

Yes, there are a lot of Mercedes Sprinters in the overlanding space — but the Rogue Wave is unique. Almost every element is an expression of Machado’s personal everyday lifestyle, including the handcrafted  Rob Machado surfboard that comes with purchase of the van. This premium adventure van blends thoughtful craftsmanship, custom surf features and sustainable materials into one capable, surf-inspired package. The cherry on top? Anyone who purchases a Rogue Wave will also be gifted a private surf adventure with Rob himself.
