Sean's Nubster Fin design gained the world's attention when 11 Time World Champion, Kelly Slater rode it during the Quiksilver NY Pro Surfing Event. Kelly rode his 5 fin set up and blasted a perfect 10 score during professional surfing's largest cash money event.

ESPN: Kelly Slater's fifth fin it's had a big impact this year.

ESPN Highlights Kelly Slater's Fifth Fin by Sean Mattison

Kelly Slater and his fifth wheel...As Mattison watched Kelly Slater tackle big Teahupoo on a quad, he paused. Throughout the year Kelly had been switching back and forth between thrusters and quads. Maybe, Mattison's little fin would create a middle ground for the champ.

Pretty Good Feedback on the Nubster....aka "Guitar Pick by 10x World Champion Kelly Slater

2011-09-14T20:40:00.001-07:00

No joke...best feeling board I can remember. Ready to slay people! Thank you so much. That fifth fin just tightens and smooths the whole thing up.

Thank you Mad Dog!

The Nubster Fin......aka Guitar Pick Fin.

Testing the Nubster aka Guitar Pick Fin.....this little guy can add drive and control to your quad without "over finning it."

The Nubster and the Twinzer 5

2011-09-03T11:38:00.001-07:00

The Latest board design by the crew here at Von Sol is the Twinzer 5.

This board is Soooooo Fast it will blow your mind.The twinzer has always been a very

fast fin configuration/design but at times it was out of control.I have been working on the nubster fin to ride with a number of different fin set ups especially quads.For this design,

the nubster cures the "slide out" issue

that this design suffered from in the past allowing you to put the peddle to the medal with

"no worries!"

Hi Sean - long overdue feedback on the shadow. I got a board from you last Summer - blue 5'10" shadow. In short I love it. I took it to Indo with me and rode it the whole time except for one day that was 12ft plus (face). The board is definitely the missing link between performance fish and performance shortboard. It holds the rail line like a fish on those nice drawn out arcs but also goes straight up and down, and a little sideways, on top turns/snaps. Most importantly it goes backside with no disconnect in how tight you want to draw your line - unlike the more fishy quads out there. Anyway Im fired up on the board - rode it in Indo, Aussie and now last few months in NorCal winter when I thought I might put it away for more standard shortboard. Im keen to order the double black diamond in a month or so, but just wanted to get some feedback and a couple photos back to you.

Cheers,

Thane

Von Knight

2010-09-19T08:18:00.000-07:00

Von Knight

Able to excel in solid surf as well as mush,the Von Knight is truely a high performance fish providing instant speed,a great combination of looseness,drive and versatility across a wide range of conditions.This streamline fish design screams for performance.Single elevated e-wing provides a release point for a smooth transition through the turns,allowing the Von Knight to pivot in the pocket much more quickly than other fish designs.The pronounced double barrel concave through the fins,working in unison with the quad fin placement,gives you a blazing fast,ridiculously nimble and FUN surfboard.

Also available in a stringerless,EPS/epoxy version,The Von Knight X!This unbelievably lightweight performance tool has a lively flex-pattern,coupled with the deck rail channel that control where the flex is directed.

Just got back from New Zealand! I went to coach the US Surf Team at the World Jr.s held at Piha Beach just outside of Auckland.The US got 3rd just behind Hawaii and Australia. When the event was finish I spent the next two weeks traveling around with Slide Magazine. We ( Josh Constable, Taylor Jensen,Nava Young,Joe Aaron and myself) stayed on the East Coast of the North Island.Scored some fun waves and really got to see the true hospitality of the Kiwi! Look for the story in the Summer Issue of Slide.

Design:

Design is a deep ocean and we are always finding new ways of experiencing the way we enjoy the waves that we ride.The Designs we ride effect all of us in a emotional way and this emotion can be directly effected by the way a board is crafted.
How each element of design and how these elements work in harmony become the basis of a magic board. For me...I love trying new designs and reflecting back to the reasons why this evolution of design really started....because it's FUN! It's all about the RIDE!
