Tim has been busy since then travelling the globe interviewing a number of people on the fring of surfing. People we all know but the mainstream will almost certainly not. He is documenting his antics in a Web Series called Fringe Surfer. Episode 1 features Jon Wegener and Episode 2 is the first mat orentated episode featuring Warren Pfeiffer.
Tak a look at what Tim Has in store for us at https://www.fringesurfer.tv/ and give him a follow on Instagram @fringesurfer.tv
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
