CANADA

Mathew Wanbon is an action sports, adventure, and commercial photographer based on Vancouver Island, BC. He loves getting deep into the cultures of the sports and activities that he documents and telling stories that connect with core values while remaining accessible for general audiences. Whether he’s pedalling his bike up kilometres of a dusty singletrack to capture an epic descent, splitboarding into the alpine at sunrise for fresh turns, hiking countless kilometres with a 50lb pack, or capturing the quiet moments around the campfire, he lives to create images that feel real, gritty, and alive.

I am an avid outdoorsman whose current outdoor pursuit revolves around cycling! I got my first mountain bike in my hometown of El Paso, Texas, in 2009, but did not get seriously into the hobby until 2020. After moving to the Fort Worth side of the Fort Worth/Dallas Metroplex, I found FWMBA trails and fell in love with Sansom Park. That trail is where giving back to the community started when I became a Trail Steward. For 2026, I have taken on the President role within the FWMBA, a role I am very excited to take on to help the club move forward in a positive direction.
