Another Mat Mystery For The Ages...

This cryptic mat riding photo turned up in my yahoo mail box this afternoon. The only provided information was that the outer wave is being surfed by a mat rider, and it's a left. (The latter I figured out on my own.)

Any further details would be greatly appreciated! :)

I've had the same experience, Mike. I'm puzzled as to why this has happened. But I swear my short boarding has improved since I've hopped back and forth between mat and board.

After taking in a few tips from Jamie, I finally found the fabled extra gear. Found it where he said it would be, the sandbank outside of Greenmount point. I'm won over.
Matting puts the "S" back in stoked.

Regards
Paul
