Instead, he takes full advantage of Cornwall's diverse and breathtaking coastline, choosing locations that offer the best experience for you, not just what's convenient for him.
Matt's doors are open to everyone, from those taking their first tentative paddle strokes to seasoned enthusiasts aiming to conquer advanced conditions.
