Surfing, Travel, Gear
Hi, I’m Matt
As a surfer for most of my adult life, the sport and lifestyle of surfing have shaped many of my big life decisions.
I realized I’ve accumulated a lot of knowledge over the years, from learning to ride a boogie board as a grom, learning to surf in my teens, and then working in the surf industry in my 20’s and 30’s.
Coupled with my life as an entrepreneur and father of two, I know firsthand how hectic modern life can be.
That’s why I started this blog – to share tips and insights on how to make the most of every day and live your life on your own terms!
