SIERRA KERR SURFING WITH MATTA SURFBOARDS
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.
