G-Mat RFT Surfmat (200/70)
£240.00

The G-Mat RFT Surfmat is a high performance surfmat suiting almost all conditions.

The RFT Series has been designed by renowned mat builder, Graeme Webster of G-Mat Custom Surfmats and is based on the iconic 5 Star General model. The materials and build quality are equal to any other high end brand, with each mat being hand built in the UK by a highly experienced small scale Radio Frequency welding company and then finished in house by the G-Mat team..

The G-Mat RFT more than holds its own in any lineup and has been tested in small, backed off surf to solid hollow reef waves by a number of highly skilled mat surfers and has performed admirably across the board. In short, this is an excellent surfmat worthy of any mat surfer.

  • 200/70 Wheezer - 200 denier nylon deck and 70 denier internal structures and bottom skin with restricted internal air flow for the most stable all-round ride in all conditions.

  • Sikaflex EBT deck grip for durable traction.

  • Concave and "free" rocker to maximize down the line speed and responsive turning.

  • Modified Boston Valve allows for easy inflation control in the water and rapid deflation.


    SIZE GUIDE:
    Small (Up to 5'9"), Medium (5'9" - 6' 1”), Large (6'2" +),
    (Slim build or long legs? Knock an inch off your height)

RAFT SURFMATS


Just in case you missed it we have Raft Surfmats in our store now. These mats are essentially the G-Mat stock surfmat, the 5 Star General. Built with the same materials as G-Mats. The mats are individually hand welded by an experienced welder in the UK and finnished at G-Mat central by G’s team of mat pixies.

 These mats come in 3 sizes and are a great way to get hold of a G-Mat!

We have a handful left after the initial run on this first batch.


THE PHILEAS PROJECT CHILE?!

Speaking of G-Mats, the old lady of low inflation, Phileas, is still on the move! G uploaded a video today of her trip to Chili… Knda….

Word is that Phileas has now landed on the West Coast of Ireland. As summer turns to Autumn/Fall in the northern hemisphere, that is a mouth watering prospect!


PHOTO OF THE MONTH

And finally, photo of the month for August 2020 is Chad Stickney at Puerto Escondido. We’ll let the picture tell the story.


VIDEO OF THE MONTH

Yeah, we’re kinda cheating here making the Photo/Video of the month a photo & video of the month but this from James Taneer is just too much fun!


So there you go. Lots on in August. 2020 has been a pretty crazy year but not all bad.

As always, we welcome your feedback and contributions.

Thanks
