The Journey So Far…
Come with us as we journey down the river to discover how NOA began and where it’s headed…
2012 Matt visits Laos in South East Asia.
2015 Matt started to explore making bamboo surfboards and skateboards in Laos.
2016 Matt commissioned a local shaper/carpenter from Cornwall to make some prototypes of skateboards using timber locally sourced.
2018-2021 Helen joins the journey & the project moves forward.
2021 Matt and Helen partner with Forge
2023 Collaborations begin
The future...
Through partnerships, collaborations with the surf industry & with individuals who want to help, we hope to develop a range of recycled bodyboards, handplanes and surfboards that encourage sustainable living & riding the waves responsibly.
By raising awareness and generating finance, Noa Surf Collective want to play a part in ending sexual exploitation in South East Asia.
If you would like to be part of the journey by partnering with us or collaborating on a project, we'd love to hear from you.
