Big Ups: Matuse in Alaska

Alaska

Dear Matuse Family,

I’ve been loving that 3/2 hoplite! I’ve probably had 50 sessions in it already. Lots of days with multiple paddle sessions doing the demos etc. Even been surfing some overhead waves here in August and staying warm enough! Here’s a photo of me surfing a couple weeks ago. First sizable session with the new SUP boards.

Thanks, Dave
