His age disguises his experience. Matt has already been on the water more than many people twice his age. A fanatical surfer, Matt can show you surf breaks the others are still looking for! Any chance he can he is in the water! Matt is also a tireless worker and will go the extra mile to ensure you enjoy your time with us.

Matt is an extremely experienced fisherman and like Mark, can be relied upon to navigate the ‘Kylin’ to the best fishing, diving, and surfing spots.
