Matuse Family: Johnny Maher in Fiji
Bula Braddas,
Been surfing fun Cloudbreak all day everyday. Nothing big but perfect and lots of fun. The Philo 1mm top is working insane against the reef and sun. An epic jacket for my needs down here in Fiji. I’ve been taking some pictures and skating the Hawk ramp. I’ve attached a few photos I took of my extended Fijian family here on the island.
Thanks for the love, Johnny

Matuse Family: BRETT “CHOPPER” JONES
Brett Jones, the always timeless man behind the Matuse shark mask, continues to hold it down for psychos worldwide.
Matuse Fam,
Here are some pics of the chopper training at seaside. On a random morning this past winter, I got a call at 9:00AM. It was the lieutenant of the Solana beach lifeguard department, Mr. Jason Shook. He offered me an opportunity to jump from a police helicopter at Seaside. Naturally, my girlfriend and I booked it from PB to Seaside. Obviously I made sure to grab my Matuse hoplite 432! I got there just in time to get a few jumps in and participate in the exercise. The suit kept me warm and safe. Big thanks to Matuse. Super stoked on your products, keep up the good work.
Cheers, Brett Jones

Congratulations goes out to Matuse Family Member, Harley Taich, who won two competitions over this past weekend. Saturday, Harley took down the Pi Beta Phi surf contest at Pacific Beach in sloppy onshore surf (Chloe Buckley also placed in the finals for the contest). Harley then traveled up to Huntington for the NSSA West Coast Championships and won the Women’s division. The contest was held in overhead to double overhead surf. Harley proved she has the skills to win in both small and large surf.
