John V. Campbell

SurfShot's Associate Editor is a San Diego native with an English degree from Dartmouth College. While he's written for publications that include ESPN and King Magazine, John devotes his day-to-day hustle to Matuse, Inc., the premium (ichiban) surf company he co-founded. "The basic storyline behind Erik Hjermstad and Tyler Reid is an inspiring one,” John said when asked about his “Industry Profile” on Del Mar Housing Projects. “Pursuing passion and not pension, they want to make good things happen and have fun while doing it... I'm a believer in that."
