From Jeff...

Hi Paul

I shunned work due to an eye problem today,couldn't see going to work when there's surf!

 

I surfed in victory at sea for 2 hours waiting for the switch.when it went offshore I grabbed the mat.Took alot of poundings but finally got a good one...inside arm back and outside hand on the rail and she went off like a shot!!!!

With the nose freed up she flies and does her own thing. Rolls onto a rail easier as well. Took alot of drifts in pounding swell and feeder bands but it was worth it!!!!!!!

The mat makes a good shield from driving rain as well.Thanks for the advice,I'm off for a nap!!!

Jeff

ps couple morning shots before it cleaned up.
