Halloween Mat Meet Report from Mikey

 

 Paul, it’s a wrap. We had a great time we gave the mat to a kid. It was 19 years old. Who’s been coming to all the Matt meats since day one he’s got a crypt and I’ve been relentlessly picking on this kid for days about the riding the crypt, his friend won The Matt last year so this year the lady who bought a bunch of tickets, she said if I win, give it to a kid of your choice so I gave it to the kid. The kid almost started fucking crying dude it was pretty good stuff Alyssa pretty much paid for Matt this year so that’s how the kid ended up with Matt . I have so much footage my friend Scott’s gonna help me make up whole little edit of everything and you’ll be able to post it on Surf matters and he’s also put it on his YouTube channel. It was one of the most positive amazing events ever dude I can’t wait to send you some shit, I’m gonna send you some money for shirts and mats and then some people are coming to the shop this week for some mats




Right after the beach, we drove straight up to the hills for some old barbecue, my friends hillbilly band playing


My buddy Scotty won first place for the costume contest. The bird shitting on him was too much. It made me die. He was walking around going. I’m having a bad day. It was so funny dude.

This is Hunter he got second place. He dressed up as me obviously fucking hilarious.

This is my buddy Ben who works for Surfers Journal. He’s our Director he Justin Devo. He actually shifted in that outfit so I gave him third place.


This is the super XL mat model

Oh dude, it was all day. Relentless blessing, mats and shit. It’s pretty funny. We’re gonna put a whole thing together with all the footage. It’ll be pretty funny dude.


Dude, the whole day was out of control! I can’t wait to put all this together together and a really solid little edit mini movie thing. Hopefully the one guy got some footage, but the fog came in and it got blocked the visibility. We’ll see what happens. The waves were kind of hectic too so it was a party for sure

  Hi Paul,

Shots are on the Fatty from this weekend. Unexpected camera on the
beach, I was the only one out. One of those days that generates quite a
few bored-out surfers. It was a day with less size and without the
offshore, a bit shifty. How could you possibly have good fun on a day

like that? Come on, it's the Fatty! Superglide? Game changer!

More From Mikey

 




Her name is Kate. It’s right in front of the stub jetty in Ocean Beach. She told
me she hurt her back so she doesn’t use fins right now. She just jumps into
white water just to get the thrill of it. Absolutely love it.
