Surfoplane Bonanza

Society of Surfoplane Sliders

I scored another Surfoplane the other day, just spotted it for sale on social media and was able to score this beautiful orange replicate from the 80's , unfortunately I missed out on the other 2 mats that would have been a nice addition to my collection pictured below!

Saturday Morning Surfoplane Bonanza with SCUMM

Well it's a no brainer that if ' I score a new toy I am going to ride it ' so when Paul arrived at my place at 5.30 am I suggested a road trip down south and making it a retro Surfoplane day as well. A phone call to both Phil & Neal ( couldn't wake Neal ) with Phil also keen to tag along and bring his surfoplane as well

So when we pulled up and saw only one person out it was hoots all round! We were so loud another mat rider ( Simon from Canberra) popped out of his car and came out to join us as well! We met Simon last weekend with his Slippery Seal Surf Mat so its great to have another mat rider to join us in the mayhem and funny enough the one guy who was out came in, so 4 mat riders in the lineup sharing & laughing over 2 hours before another crew finally came down, so off to the local Cafe for a feed and coffee for a post surf brief and jive talk before heading home and a rest!
