JADSON ANDRÉ & J5

JADSON ANDRÉ & J5

Well done Jadson, for the qualification for the 2020 World Tour and WQS #1, after his semi final in Pantin.

J5 was a board under Jadson’s feet, it´s a collaboration between Nuno Matta and Ricardo Martins, they have worked together during many years.

MATTA J5 – the Jadson André Signature Model is available for ordering

It’s a full on high performance shape that performs as your stand out high performance shortboard – yet it can also be ordered just that little bit shorter and wider. It’s got a very versatile rocker that fits in any pocket and gives you the ability to not think about your next move, but just perform it. It’s built around spontaneous surfing like Jadson André.

• Standard outline;
• High performance rocker
• Single to double concave
• Tri fin
• Squash tail

MATTA - SIERRA KERR

SIERRA KERR SURFING WITH MATTA SURFBOARDS

MATTA - SIERRA KERR

[vimeo id="247863764" align="center" maxwidth="800"]

Sierra Kerr Surfing with MATTA Surfboards

With only 10 years of age Sierra Kerr, daughter of the WCT surfer Josh Kerr, is probably the most talented girl both on surfing and skating.

Last October, during the last stop of the WCT event in Portugal, Sierra surfed with a MATTA surfboard – SMP model. Right after Portugal she was invited by Kelly Slater to test his new wave pool, where she surfed with the same MATTA surfboard. Now she’s in Hawaii, following her father on the Pipeline Masters and again she was surfing with the SMP. Incredible to watch how this same model fits all kind of surf conditions.

“I didn’t know Sierra personally and I was already a huge fan. It’s incredible to see the surfing skills of Sierra in such a young age. Finally I got to meet her and after shaping some boards to her father, Josh Kerr, I also shaped a surfboard for Sierra. I chose the SMP model because this model perfectly suits her surfing skills and it’s great to see that she liked it and that she’s using the same board everywhere she’s going.”, said the shaper Nuno Matta.

CLASSIFIED - SECRET FILES by MATTA

CLASSIFIED - SECRET FILES by MATTA

The shaper Nuno Matta launched a new project to continue to develop and upgrade the performance skills of his surfboards, Classified - Secret Files, it’s a secret program where innovations and new techniques are used to create new models from the knowledge and creativity of the shaper tested by the best surfers to get the final inputs. The final model just get public when the new shape fits all the needed requests from the surfers.

“With this new project I bring MATTA surfers for the leading role of the shaping process, I want them to get involved with the brand, bringing new inputs to the production line, and together we’ll better answer the present demand.”, said Nuno Matta.

For Justin Becret: “To improve our surfing we also need to improve and try different shapes to better match the different conditions we might get while competing. I’m looking forward to start with this new project where I’ll also be able to give the needed inputs to get the best shape. My new test model is just arriving, so let’s start with it.”

“The relationship with the shaper it’s crucial to get the best surfboard on my feet, with Nuno Matta the communication have always been easy and now I feel even more confident for being able to test and to give my feedback before the surfboard goes to the market.”, said Sam Piter.

At the moment MATTA counts with near 20 different models to better answer all kind of demands, but in the near future more models will be available with the quality label given by the committee, MATTA Team Riders, from this Classified Project.

Stay tuned, more news about the Classified - Secret Files by MATTA very soon.

SMARTech included on the Sustainable Surf

 

MATTA SMARTech surfboards included on the Sustainable Surf Program

Sustainable Surf is a non-profit charity organization based in California, founded by entrepreneurs Michael Stewart and Kevin Whilden, their mission is to be the catalyst that transforms surf culture into a powerful force for protecting the ocean playground.

MATTA is the new partner of the ECOBOARD project program, a project that helps the board riding community to build, buy and ride high-performance sustainable boards. A social transformation program, which educates and engages individuals about the environmental impacts of their lifestyle through the lens of their board. ECOBOARD project is focussed on reducing carbon footprints, increasing the use and reuse of renewable, recycled and recycled inputs, and reducing toxicity within the manufacturing process.

All the MATTA SMARTech surfboards will be marked with an “eco-label” from Sustainable Surf that guarantees that you are using an ECOBOARD.

For some time that Nuno Matta is focus in recycling projects in his factory. You can find all kind of waste on a surf factory. To have a new surfboard a track of waste is left behind, just need some creativity and environmental care to make use of those waste materials.

Besides the SMARTech ECOBOARDS, It’s already known the recycling program used by MATTA, by collecting waste EPS Foam to pack the boards and to turn it directly into a new surfboard blank.

There’s also the Upcycle Surfboard by MATTA for Vissla where Nuno built a surfboard from trash with plastic bottles, milk packs, cardboard box, EPS box, newspapers, trash fiber and resin from the rack. This recycled surfboard was finalist of the Vissla Creators Contest and the surfboard was exposed on the Prize Ceremony in California: MATTA for Vissla

As a member of the Sustainable Surf, MATTA aims to spread the word for the protection of the Oceans. So all MATTA surfboards with SMARTech construction have a Sustainable Surf ECOBOARD label that guarantee that the SMARTech surfboard follows an ecologic method approved by Sustainable Surf Organization.

MATTAshapes Volume Calculator

 

volumes_index

 

MATTAshapes Volume Calculator

Now you can check all the VOLUMES of your boards. We have it available at http://matta.surf/volume-calculator/ , a tool where you can put the model and the measures you want and it will give you the exact volume of the board you have chosen.

What is Volume?The volume of your board is a measurement of the total amount of space that your board occupies. If your board was a perfect cube, then a simple length x width x height calculation would be all we’ll need. However, as your board is full of curves and concaves, the whole thing is a little more complicated. In the past, the only way of knowing, was to dunk your board in a bath, and see how much water was displaced and this is why we normally measure surfboard volume in Cubic Litres rather than Cubic Inches.

Why is Volume Important?Volume matters because it gives us a realistic idea of how big our boards are. Ever since the “Retro Revolution” of the early 2000’s, people have been riding an increasingly diverse range of surfboards, and now the standard 3 dimensions (length, width and thickness) don’t give us enough information to decide if a board will work for us or not, and you can shape 3 boards with the same dimensions, that look and surf very differently.

If you’re surfing in warm water and good waves, the lower end of the scale is recommended. If you’re surfing in poor conditions, looking for help in crowded situations, or wearing thick wetsuits, lean towards the higher end of the range that you fall into.
