Matix Clothing Adds Gabe Kling, Gusto Gav

Matix Clothing is proud to announce that Gabe Kling has joined the Matix surf team. Twenty-four year old Kling is a smooth and powerful surfer from St. Augustine, Florida. In his first full WQS campaign Kling had his best year ever, moving up 24 spots to 88th in the 2004 year-end rankings. Highlights from the year include two second-place finishes, which took place last summer on the east coast, at the 3-Star Dan Heritage/Rip Curl Pro in New Jersey and the 2-Star WRV Outer Banks Pro in North Carolina.
Matix Clothing would also like to welcome Hell-Man “Gusto Gav” to the surf team. Gusto comes to Matix from a small island in the Pacific Ocean and has a reputation for charging anything and everything. “Gusto Gav” was integral in testing, both in and out of the water, of Matix’s new Gusto-Military Party Trunk. The trunk will be hitting stores along with the rest of the Matix Spring line this February.
