HOME BUILDS

There are a few people working on building their own mats at the moment so we thought it would be fun to share some of what’s going on. Check this from our Instagram page!

MAT CARE AND REPAIR

We are currently working on updating our Care and Repair page which is a marathon not a sprint for sure but with thought you might like to look at some videos that will be in there which have been done for the site by G from G-Mat Surfmats.

PHOTO OF THE MONTH

And finally, our Pic of the Month(s) is by our very on Kendog. A beautiful shot of the lat, great Scott Reeder.

Many of you will not know of Scott but he was one of the true legends of our world. A phenomenon in the SD surfing world, Festus Porkmeyer (as he was known) was one of the most loved and respected individuals you could imagine.

Have a look at his hugely inspirational Here and Now interview with Kendog back in 2014:

Scott also played host to Phileas, the travelling mat

His write ups were amazingas you can see here:

Scott unfortunately lost his battle with cancer but rode his mat right up to the very end. The Mat World is a better place for having had Scott in it that’s for sure.

Here’s to you Festus!

So that’s us. We’ll try to be less slack next time.

As always, we welcome your feedback and contributions.

Thanks
