Dr. Dave had his 4GF Omni stolen on Saturday in Santa Cruz ... by an otter.

Apparently, the otter has been behaving aggressively towards surfers in the lineup, and authorities are looked to relocate the spirited fellow.

Dave wasn't able to retrieve his mat. If any locals have found a stray Omni along the coastline, let us know.

What's to become of the world. An otter just wanting to have a tranquil float with a clam on his belly, defends his "local"spot, from the invading inflatible flotilla. Now it is the one, who's going to be relocated.

Is there a SurfMat Manifest Destiny?

Or was the Otter simply insulted by it's poor surfing imitation presented by the after mentioned Matters. "you don't need no stinking pool toy... look at me! OTTER UP!"

You otter think twice before surfing there again!

This is up there with the mat-sliced-to-ribbons-by-fish occurrence. So... what happened next? Did the little scamp just swim off into the fog? Did Dr Dave attempt to go after it?

Silly human handed his floaty over to the otter. Generous but not clever. Next time hang on. Or was it an intentional gift to keep the peace between species? Of course, I've handed mats over to seemingly deserving people, which was ambassadorial, but in hindsight not so wise either. Max
