Hi Paul,
In the past, I’ve often come across fun 
looking waves during non-surf travel and had to mindsurf them. I’m 
traveling in Europe with my wife right now and packed my Fatty and a 
pair of fins in my carryon. After cruising around on trains and bicycles
 in The Netherlands, we arrived in Portugal and there’s a fun little 
right reef point within walking distance of where we’re staying. I’m 
able to grab some very fun matting waves for a few hours in between 
cultural stuff. 
It felt great to squeeze in 
some water time while not even looking for waves. The mat is an awesome 
just-in-case vehicle to have in the bag without limiting mobility like 
traveling with a couple surfboards does, especially since we are using 
public transportation exclusively on this trip.
I attached a clip of one of my rides.
Hope you are well
Bryan
