Two signs of the matpocalypse:

1. Mollusk Venice has begun hawking those mass-produced "surf mats" to the masses:

2. At a point break today, a semi-pro local surfer addressed me from atop his SUP, "Hey, brah! Is that a mat? I was on one yesterday at Outers - so fun man!"

The gig is up.

tomas - YES! The mat photo had some lingering memory associated with it I couldn't quite put my finger on. That Peterson / Naughton story launched a thousand trips to SA and elsewhere!
