Influential Lost Surfboards shaper and San Clemente, CA local Matt
Biolos shares stories from his long career working with some of the
best surfers in history. He looks back at starting out working for
Herbie Fletcher, the punk rock origins of Mayhem, keeping that
outsider/anti-hero mentality, growing a full team of pros, evolving
his business into the apparel space, and the eventual refocusing
around shaping boards. He talks about his time working with
everyone from Nathan and Christian Fletcher and to Andy Irons and
Cory Lopez to Kolohe Andino and Carissa Moore. Matt also explores
the microscopic details that go into shaping boards for surfers
competing at the very height of the sport, touches on the 25th
anniversary of his film “5’5” 19 x ¼,” describes the massive COVID
surfing boom, and shares his thoughts on the Surf Ranch.
