MEET MATT
A genuine Waxhead
Matt Chojnacki is a professional surfer, coach and surf industry personality based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia​
Also known as ‘The Waxhead’, he lives, breathes and talks surfing... literally. When he is not in the surf, Matt is a commentator for World Surf League events around the world
​
Matt brings industry experience across 14 countries, 12 x pro event wins and national titles to match while featuring in surf movies. podcasts and magazines around the world. Matt is also a published surf journalist, video editor, surfboard designer and commentator on the short and longboard world tours
​
At 35 years of age, surfing continues to be the epicentre of Matt's life, as it has been since he rode his first wave at 7 years old.
Feeling a deep connection to the ocean, Matt believes surf culture is built on story-telling between the generations. Sharing his knowledge with other surfers in a coaching, mentor and commentary role is equally as satisfying as riding waves of his own
​
The Waxhead name? Well it's a throwback term from the 1960s describing a person who dedicates their life to the waves...
