Testimonials:

“While recently on Maui, I was able to schedule a private lesson with Matt through HST.  A few years ago, I had taken a wave sailing clinic with him and learned a ton, so I knew a private lesson would be great. We started off my lesson intending to work on one set of tricks and he quickly determined I needed instruction on some of the more fundamental building blocks, which once mastered, would make the more complicated tricks much easier.  This has been hugely helpful in my overall sailing. In general, I think Matt has a unique ability to help breakdown the complexity of tricks so that mere mortals can begin to figure them out.  I highly recommend his clinics and private lessons to anyone trying break into new maneuvers and improve your sailing.”  -- Steve Reale, San Francisco, CA

Hi Matt, wanted to thank you for the really awesome time in Maui this year. The skills I learnt form you were fantastic. Given the small (alright LARGE) difference in ability I was wrapped that you could interpret what I would be able to learn in the timeframe and did so with such a down to earth approach. You were right - the whole loop thing isn't bad once your head allows you to do it. Pity the body got caned in the process. Thanks again I'll see you next year...

Mission Accomplished! Great time, let’s do it again!
Mike Bates, San Francisco

Awesome time! I learned the fundamentals of wave riding, bottom turns and forward loops. Now I have some core skills to build off of when I’m riding on my own.
Enrico Caso, New York

Matt taught me how to adjust my harness lines correctly for different problems I was having. I learned how to stay upwind and get back to the beach where I started.
Dave Palibroda, Canada

Things are now falling into place! I still have more to work on but the foundation has been put in place.
Torsten Tabel, Oregon

I like how Matt breaks everything down into steps- Keep Forward, Sheet in, Slide back hand back, Look back to the beach. IT WORKS!
Kevin Oconnell, Sacramento

I was more relaxed and started to turn both top and bottom- it was a breakthrough for me! I loved the enthusiasm and friendliness, thanks Matt!
Richard Hill, Canada

Thanks for a great time! I would recommend Matt’s instruction to anyone. The tips I learned were very valuable.
Mark Van Winkle- Maine

Matt really helped my wave sailing- the 3 biggies that made a huge difference were opening up my footstraps for better control of the board while in the straps, leaning the rig forward while sheeting in on the bottom turn and sliding my back hand forward on the boom going off the lip.
Mike Lassner- California

I had moments that it really did feel “effortless” like Matt says.
Jamie Janotta- Canada

I had a great time- your teaching methods really suit my learning style! Just great.
Randy Abbott, Vancouver

"I got taken down by an overhead to mast high wave far from shore, with my gear way downwind.  I swam, but no use and got really tired.  Out of nowhere, I hear Matt's voice "I got you! Don't panic".

Matt is an awesome instructor, very creative, fun, supportive, and laid back.  Best of all, he's an inspiration.

How often could you ride waves with a world pro upwind giving you instruction, or downwind asking you to follow him?  And while you take  breaks on the beach, he'll demonstrate his talents on the water.  It's one of the best shows ever!!!"
