I saw a couple YouTube videos of people using surf mats, which I had
never heard of before. We go to the beach at Navarre on the Florida
gulf coast and we were there this weekend after the tropical storm - I
bought some cheap ($10) Intex rafts hoping to recreate the surf mat idea
and even tho the waves were very small I was shocked that the kids and I
were riding waves in way better than we ever do on buggy boards.
These waves are very small and they break very close to the sandy
beach so I don’t think there is time for turns or tricks - it is
basically ride it 40-50ft onto the beach. I wanted to ask you if we
bought a real surf mat would we experience something a lot different
knowing the limitations of our waves? Just wanted to pick your brain -
thanks!

I've seen these too, and I'm also curious. I'd like to start my son on wave riding, but don't want to risk my 4th Gear Flyer riding waves up the sand.
