Matta Surfboards

Nuno Matta has shaped high-performance boards behind Costa da Caparica for around thirty years, with a big walk-in showroom stock and outlines built for beach-break surfing.

Surf

Matta Surfboards is Nuno Matta's operation in Sobreda, behind Costa da Caparica, going roughly thirty years. The focus is high performance: standard outlines, lively rockers and a set of named models (the J5, TLX, GRAVY and others) across a few construction options.

The showroom holds more than a hundred boards in stock and is open on weekdays, so it is also one of the easier places on the coast to walk out with a board the same day. Custom orders too.
