Best Video of 2025 [Nomination] – Fidju Di Tera by Matchu Lopes

Win a Xenon Elixir Twin Tip & T-Shirt this issue in our FREE subscriber prize draw.
After a season spent chasing wind and waves across the globe—competing, filming, and representing his sponsors—Matchu Lopes returns home to reconnect with what grounds him. “Fidju Di Tera” is a personal reflection of that homecoming. It captures the deep pull of his homeland, the energy he draws from it, and the way it helps him recharge, realign, and reset.
Filmed over the winter, the project came with its share of challenges—including an injury that forced Matchu to dig deep and keep pushing. Despite the setbacks, the vision came to life.
This film is a heartfelt piece of Matchu’s journey, and he’s beyond stoked to finally share it with the world.
Special thanks go out to his friend Josh for the creative work, and to his sponsors for their unwavering support—this one’s for you.
