Riding waves with friends is the most pure source of joy and satisfaction I’ve found. It aligns us with the raw energy of nature and brings a strong connection to the present. Surfing has been the source of my fondest memories, the root of my closest friendships and a constant that has grounded me throughout life. I shape surfboards because I want to share that experience with others.

Hand crafted with thoughtful consideration to every detail each Chenot surfboard is treated as a piece of highly functional art.

My process is very collaborative and I enjoy the challenge of creating boards that will be tuned just right for the individual surfer. If you’re interested in ordering a board or just have a question drop me a line here and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Cheers,

Matt

Surfing is the Source


When Matt isn’t making surfboards you can find him surfing the local points around Santa Barbara or running around the front country trails.

I’m always looking for new books, here are some of my favorites.
