Testimonials from our crew:

”
“My biggest improvement over the 6 weeks was mental. Learning how to plan a session, read the forecast, and understand the break made a huge difference. I was able to catch more waves simply by being in the right spot, instead of wasting energy paddling around aimlessly..."

“It’s hard to pinpoint just one takeaway from this experience—there was so much growth on so many levels. But if I had to name a few standouts, I’d say this: I’m surfing more consciously now. I see things I didn’t used to see. And I trust myself more, both in the water and with my progression.”

“So much improvement - but I think the biggest area was understanding of the lineup & waves, and how to plan for success.”

“Letting the board glide after pop-up, focusing on 1 thing to improve on in a session, board selection.”

WHO IS MATT PAGAN?

Stoked you're here! My name is Matt Pagan. I'm a former professional surfer from Los Angeles, CA.  I've surfed for over 20 years and professionally. I competed on the WQS and also created numerous short surf films in and around CA. After surfing for legacy brands like RVCA, Body Glove, Lost Surfboards, Chilli Surfboards, etc., I wanted to step back in to the surf world and create my own version - PAGAN USA. PAGAN USA is not just a surf brand. Our goal is to create a vibrant culture and community. The Under Construction Surf Club is a community based in Los Angeles, CA and the heartbeat of PAGAN USA. Growing up as a surfer in Los Angeles was difficult and wasn't easy to get consistent reps. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to surf different beaches at contests every weekend and work with some incredible coaches and mentors. We hope you enjoy this series and this program. -Matt Founder, Pagan USA and Under Construction Surf Club
