Secret Spot 007
I decided to stand on the rocks and shoot some video and still’s whilst the boys got stuck amongst the fun right handers on offer. The tide was low and perfect conditions , so I had plenty fun in recording the mayhem in the water, with Eric swapping roles after a hour or so, letting me get some fun rides with Paul, many thanks Eric!

A Few words from that Sexy Mat Rider, Johnny Tofu!
The call was made, and true to the Scumm Code, we took up fins and mats and met at Red Cliff Point and then convoyed our way to 007s. The waves were there and so were we, Oily, Meatballs, Toweling,Wakka and some other sexy dude. Aaaaaannnnnddd............ACTION!!! Waves were had by all. It was Toweling and Oily's first surf at this hidden gem of a break and both had fun. So much laughter and yeehahs. If you still 'aint got a mat, you 'aint got no soul. And the best thing about it is, 'aint no wrong or right..............JUST FUN, FUN, FUN

UK Mat Meet
Looks Fun fella’s
My wife and I just returned from our summer vacation in the UK. We had a fantastic time there and explored many places in Scotland, Wales and England. I had particularly high hopes to go surfing in Scotland but it was entirely flat while I was there. People are now saying that it has been the flattest July ever! At least we had fantastic weather and during our stay in Cornwall we were finaly able to find some waves.
As I wrote on VIMEO, this is NOT high performance surfing but loads of fun none the less :)
In the video Christina is using my Omni (my favourite mat!!!) and I'm riding a Vespa. In fact the Vespa turned out to be the perfect choice for me since I was able to catch waves as early as longboarders. I'm slowly getting the hang of catching waves early. The more I ride your mats the more I'm impressed with their performance. Thanks for making them!
Christina was having fun too as you can see in her smiles. These moments are the ones that I cherish the most. Sharing the stoke and having pure fun that is what mat riding is for me.
