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

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.

Eugenio Barcelloni - Mexico

I arrived in Mexico a couple of months ago and I first discovered the right point breaks in the wild south coast of Oaxaca State until I fell in love with the greatest wave of Mexico, Puerto Escondido. Mexico has a lot of interesting things, the ancient culture of the natives with their stunning pyramids and the tasty spicy food. The beach of Zicatela has really powerful waves, the surf is intense and you better have a strategy when you go out there in the big days.

It’s a different surf and you really feel the competitivity of the big wave riding, you have to be patient and wait for a long time for the right wave until it will suddenly come to you.

MATTAshapes Volume Calculator

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.

MATTAshapes x Travis Logie - TLX

THE PERFORMANCE BOARD

You could say this could be your standard high performance shortboard, but there is nothing standard about it. This board allows for that extra bit of connection to the wave that surprises you.. that solid, satisfying feeling through carves and long, drawn out bottom turns. This board will maintain control in high speed turns and powerful waves while lifting you to the next level in your surfing ability.

* Travis Logie his favourite board.
