Matt

Matt got his love of the ocean from his father, who studied Marine Biology. However, growing up in Maryland, the closest Matt could get to the ocean was a 150-gallon saltwater tank. After earning a degree in Environmental Studies, Matt set out to the ocean, first working as a mate on a charter fishing boat in the Florida Keys, then moving to Hawaii to explore the Pacific Ocean. Once in Maui, he chose Hawaiian Paddle Sports to continue nurturing his love for the ocean and the marine environment.

About

Clayton

Clayton grew up in the Pacific North West playing in the cold water tidal flats of the Puget Sound. Moved to Clearwater beach Florida when he was 17 and was in the ocean every day with the manatees and gulf fish. From his many trips to Hawaii, he developed a deep love for the islands because of their isolation, deep water right off the beach, and marine diversity.
