Matt Kechele is no stranger to surf culture. Growing up in the deeply-rooted surf era of 1960’s Cocoa Beach, Matt says falling in love with surfing was inevitable. He learned to surf on the same beaches as world surf champion, Kelly Slater, and went on to be a professional surfer himself. After a successful career in professional surfing, Matt realized that shaping hand-crafted boards for his own surf competitions was always a part of what drove his passion for the sport.
