In this captivating installment, we sit down with none other than Matt Kechele @matt_kechele, a true pioneer of aerial maneuvers, a master surfboard shaper, and a pro surfer whose journey has left an indelible mark on the surfing landscape.

Hailing from the golden shores of Cocoa Beach, Florida, Matt Kechele takes us on a journey through the waves of his remarkable life. Tune in as he reminisces about his early days when the quest for the perfect wave led him to hitchhike or scramble for rides to the legendary Sebastian Inlet. Those youthful adventures laid the foundation for a passion that would define his life.

As time flowed, Matt's fascination with the art of shaping surfboards ignited a creative spark within him. Building on his experience, established his own brand of surfboards that quickly became synonymous with innovation and quality. With the vibrant Florida surf scene as his backdrop, Matt found himself rubbing shoulders with the elite surfers of the time, absorbing their prowess and refining his own.

But Matt's journey didn't stop there. He found inspiration from the world of skateboarding, translating their dynamic moves onto the canvas of ocean waves. The result? Aerial maneuvers redefined what was possible on a surfboard, solidifying his legacy as a true trailblazer.

Join us as we traverse the globe with Matt, as he recounts his 26 years of exploration in Hawaii and countless adventures along the East Coast, often in the company of the young Slater brothers. Even today, Matt's dedication to his craft remains unwavering. A master shaper, an unyielding surfer, and an entrepreneur, he continues to shape boards and ride waves with an unmatched zeal.

Notably, Matt Kechele also takes us into the realm of his current venture, Freak Traction @freak_traction, a traction pad company that stands as a testament to his commitment to the surfing community.
