Matt Friedman
Co-Owner and Adventure Coordinator for North County Paddleboards
Raised at the coast in Southern California Matt grew up around the ocean. At an early age he started swimming and participating in the Santa Barbara Junior Lifeguard Program. As a teenager living in Newport Beach surfing became his sport of choice. Throughout this period a wanderlust spirit was instilled and fostered by his parents love for travel, the outdoors and camping, (to include a 15 month jaunt through Europe in 1975 where Matt was transformed into a devout nudist). Matt applied his love of the ocean, fitness, and travel to his professional life when he became a Navy SEAL.
11years later he entered the civilian world and was introduced to paddle boarding by his good friends Darrell Swensen and Victor Lopez. Matt was immediately attracted to the physical aspects of the sport and soon found out that there was real camaraderie amongst all paddlers up and down the California coast. It is this team atmosphere that still drives Matt to train, race, adventure paddle, and continue exploring all the possibilities that paddle boarding has to offer.
With the ever growing NCP Crew Matt looks forward to many more years of board development, team races and destination paddleboard travel.

Mission
Welcome to the NCP family. NCP paddleboards have been designed, hand crafted and tested to assure their overall quality, strength, speed and stability. The origin of the NCP family and consequently the boards, stem from the cerebral rants of a dedicated group of paddling enthusiasts. Led by Brian Szymanski (whose extensive surfboard shaping and manufacturing skills allowed him to design characteristics into NCP boards that maximize each paddlers potential) the group includes men and women ranging in age from 30 to 60 with athletic backgrounds in surfing, swimming, triathlons and a variety of other outdoor activities. The common thread among these individuals is a desire to create a race ready paddleboard with attributes that could be appreciated by both the novice paddlers and elite racers. This is evident by the fact that within the NCP family there are recreational paddlers using comparable boards to the ones that founder, Brian Szymanski successfully competes on at the highest level within the sport.
