Matuse Family: Chris Del Moro – France

CDM France

Dear Matuse Family,

France,,, Where to begin.. Such a clean and cultured bunch of humans and cultured living. Flew into some amazing exploits at the CHM nudist colony along side resident and Spyder Surf Shop owner Phillipe and his family. Got some fun waves and met some great humans… Show night in Bordeaux alongside Kassia Meador, Brandon Lomax and Colin Whitbread. Great gallery space at Escape, a packed house and really nice group show.

Also had a great show in Biarritz that’s hanging for the month at the WoodStock gallery by the train station and also a one night only small kind show on the Harbor, 100% French style… Made our way down to Biarittz to the amazing and impressive artist/surfer/photographer/model/gypsea palace locate above the Cote De Basque. Easily one of most creative bunch’s of humans I have lived with in my life on earth.

Daily surfs. photos barrages, skate jams, paint flicks, hacky sacking and laughing, even some night time street busking to help us stand out even more. Scored an amazing session at a big wave spot south of the house, coincided with a sleepless birthday celebration, Californian style dance party and eat-a-thon. Also got some really fun beach break action on my new round pin Bing Spork. All in all, the French journey was filled with good vibes and new experiences I will not soon forget… Off to Spain next for the Salinas Surf Festival, packing the Van with toys and such, stay tuned for the goodness to come….

Love and light, Chris 111

Matuse Flagship Store In Canggu

Matuse Canngu Store

Check out the recently opened Matuse Flagship Store in Canggu, Indonesia. Matuse Family Member, Mikala Jones, has been living there for over a decade and bases his family there. It was only natural to have MJ open the first Matuse Flagship Store right on the beach. Also featured is Mikala’s Deus motorcycle. A culture heavily dependent on motorcycles, Mikala’s Deus Inari is a super stylish way to get around town. So if you’re lucky enough to be in Canngu stop by, say hi and grab yourself a Hawaiian Shave Ice to cool down from the Bali sun.

Matuse Family: Jamie Sterling – Great Lakes

Dear Matuse Family,

I just finished a week long adventure in the Midwest. I was flying all over the Great Lakes doing recon for a Red project called “New Wave”. We utilized John Shoffner’s Gunmen Albatross Red Bull branded Sea plane. I never knew the Great Lakes had waves. After flying 25.2hrs, and 3528 nautical miles I’ve come to the conclusion that the mid west has some nice setups for surfing. I’ve always been curious about the Great Lakes of North America. Some of the setups out on the vast Lakes looked like Tahitian reef passes. No the waves were not tubing like Teahupo’o but the water was crystal clear and the waves were rolling in with uniformity. We didn’t expect to get waves on this trip. This first expedition purpose was to look around and plot GPS coordinates. We did plenty of searching and scored a little out of season swell that I stand up paddled. The locals greeted us with open arms and welcomed us back anytime. The private flights on the Red Bull Albatross were mind blowing. Talk about a high end adventure. VIP….Thank you RED BULL!

I’ll be coming back to the Great Lakes in the middle of winter on the next big Northeastern storm. Yes parts of the lake will be frozen and I’ll be bundled up in snow gear. Why, because I live for the adventure and the water is fresh.

Aloha, Jamie Sterling

P.S. Water landing’s rule! Its so smooth to land on a silky lake…John Shoffner, thanks for flying the plane and making it a smooth flight!
