Mat Noir

 

 

 

 

 

For Americans with basic cable, Saturday nights often include an episode of "Noir Alley," a retrospective of 40's and 50's black and white crime films...hosted by noir-film-fanatic Eddie Muller.

Along with its usual mix of femme fatales, gun play, and double crosses, last night's noir offering (Repeat Performance) served up some poolside salaciousness with an inflatable backdrop. But the male protagonist got it wrong...clearly, the hot babe was the brunette with her own mat!

A big Thank You for making some of the best surf craft on this Planet , your surf mats have given us crew so much pleasure and has open our eyes to riding breaks that we would never normally surf ! It has been a fun year overall for waves with plenty of variety so I have attached some of my favorites for the past 12 months.

Merry Xmas to you and your Family!!

Regards

Adam

Mate, at this stage of the game..i am like a pig in shit with my snout well n truly in the trough..kinda off season  here and the local crew must have it pretty good through out the peak season and leaving the small stuff alone..so i am super stoked...

Mats are going well..mainly mixing it up between the XL..with low inflation..fun and the Std n Tracker..got a month to go..great getting out of Gold Coast Pre Xmas onshore slop..

I trust you are well and Xmas orders firing up.

From Bryce

 

 

I was in Rhode Island for some hurricane swells back in September and scored some great waves. I met a guy who would show up on a 4GF and would pick out the best waves down the point and then take 30-45 mins kicking leisurely way outside past all breaking waves, back up to the top of the point and right into perfect position. He'd stay out literally all day, wore a helmet, and didn't talk to anyone. Such a great mat rider. See pictures attached.

Talk to you soon,

Bryce

Happy Holidays From SCUMM

G’day Paul,

Hope you're happy and healthy, well the SCUMM crew managed a few waves yesterday I  rode  my  ‘standard’  in some big fat long left handers at one of our favourite early morning haunts Gilligan’s Island.  It seems the plague has started to spread early this summer as you can see by the line up at Gilligan’s but you know us SCUMMbags mate always seem to find some stoke in what ever we chose to slide in..

Take care out there !!

All the best to you and yours for the Christmas festive season.
