Seth Matson was born and raised in Southern California. He has lived in Huntington Beach since the second grade, and loves everything about the ocean since his toes first touched the sand. As a young man, Seth loved his interaction with the porpoises when he was surfing. “Whenever a dolphin or porpoise shows up in the lineup, it would just make my day, whether the waves were perfect or just blown out junk. They somehow send off good vibes to everyone they’re around,” Seth says. “I love being in the water with them and will do anything it takes to protect them.”
Seth began to promote surfing contests when he was in the eighth grade, he then created a professional surfing series in his early twenties called the HB Pro/Am Surf Series, a grass roots surfing event held in Huntington Beach, CA. Always thinking about inventing the next good thing, Seth sold the event in 2003 to begin his own Graphic Design Studio, Matson Graphics.
Seth spends his free time painting, surfing, thinking positive and spending time with his beautiful wife, Jennifer, and their big dog, Bronson. When his longest childhood friend, Justin Krumb, asked him to come on board with all the boys at S4C back in 2007, it was a no brainer for Seth because of his love of the ocean and all cetaceans. Seth has increased his involvement over the last few years. He currently donates hosting for S4Cglobal.org, maintains the website, and creates any/all graphic design needed for S4C Global.
