We are celebrating a special moment: a moment that marks 20 years of handcrafting surfboards for Nuno Matta as a shaper. All these years of shaping and finetuning his skills makes Nuno look back to where it all started: it made him look back to his first love, his first surfboard, shaped by Miguel Aragão in 1984.
To make the celebration and the appreciation for his life’s work come full circle he decided to bring that very first surfboard, the board that inspired him to start the journey that brings him to the present, come back to life. Together with the man himself, Miguel Aragão. They reminisced of old times and brought back memories, surfing highlights, talked stories about shaping and they discussed modern day surfing and the balance that they wanted to find in this board.
Let us present the T20 – a twin fin build from 20 years of shaping experience! It has all the flow and pure stoke that Nuno found in this board back in 1984 – the same essence that was so apparent in the 80’s/90’s era of surfing, but mixed with some modern ingredients to give this board the perfect combination of old school stoke and modern day magic!
P.S the artwork of this board is inspired on Nuno’s first boardshorts
THE LIMITED EDITION TWIN FIN BOARD
The T20 is a special edition surfboard and it offers a whole lot more than you expect from your typical ”Retro Twin”. It has the natural flow of a twin fin, but with a massive boost in speed, drive and maneuverability.
The lines that you can take on a twin fin are different to that of a thruster or quad and we respected those lines, but gave them more quickness and ”fling” – this board also has the ability to make sharp turns, while relying on those beautiful lines that only a good twin fin can find.
The T20 is made for small conditions to medium sized clean surf. It thrives on those long walls, but will also will give your surfing new spark in small and average conditions where you need to fly over flat spots.. the T20 will transport you to the best sections of the wave, with natural style.
And you will have a lof of fun doing just that, guaranteed!
Cheers to the joys of surfing!

To help you out choosing your board we compared the outline, rocker and rails of our models. In the bellow table you can see the differences and decide the best option for you !
The volume of your board is a measurement of the total amount of space that your board occupies. If your board were a perfect cube, then a simple length x width x height calculation would be all we’d 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.
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.
