I don’t think I’ve ever shared this with you. That was back in 2017 or so, at the pass in Australia. We’re riding and omni and rt.

Best regards Nico

Surf Sister And Charles Ride Palm Springs Pool -- 2/11/25

 

"This is my second trip down to Palm Springs. I know understand the place better. Without salt water you have to put in more air in the mat.

I think they throw a little faux barrel in the middle. That was hard to get across.

You also need to stay a bit further in front of where surfers take off because the wave suck you back when it starts. A mat needs to be where it can be propelled into the wave, which actually breaks kind of softly when it starts."

Hey Paul,

Here’s a clip from today. Really enjoying that Omni you made me, thanks again! Been riding the mat exclusively as of late. I’m hooked.

From Pito

 

I'm riding my Omni religiously, possibly more than my surfboards at the moment, the joy that comes from riding waves just for the pure fun is unbeatable!

Have a look at this clip of my son Elvis that is 20 months old, already on 4th gear shredding the shorebreak!

We've covered the mat riding in Pacific Vibrations before. The matting begiuns around 2:40.

 Jonathan Hess (The Tusked Beast) found this gem in an old surf mag...apparently there was a women's mat riding contest at Big Surf in 1970!
