Mikey Explains Matting To Conner

 

Mikey from Pack Ratt Records And Junk is the go-to guy in San Diego for all things surfmat. He has loaners, new mats, and holds informal surf meets almost every day at the swim zone in Ocean Beach.

 

In this series of videos, Mikey guides Conner -- an otherwise experienced surfer -- through the basics of matting.

1. Omni is incredible! Have only taken it out once but it was a great success. Tossed it in my bag for a quick trip to Oahu for a family wedding. Was staying in Waikiki with minimal swell while there, but snuck out one evening to a weird little wave breaking in front of one of the break walls and had an absolute blast. Was so nice to have something to ride without worrying about finding a board.

2. This $9.99 bag fits the mat perfectly when rolled bottom to top with no folding. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a travel solution. Size and functionality could not be any more spot on, and well made... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H8VJDZF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

More Ruminations From Mat Max

 

Hi PG,

 

The latest controversy Down Under is a raging debate as to whether or not wetsuits actually keep you warm! Of course it was me who sparked this blasphemous indignation. I'm claiming that cold water washing through negates any qualities of insulation. However I am a minority of one. 

 

The rest of the crew here in Gisborne staunchly deny the obvious fact that wetsuits are purely a fashion statement reflecting weak minded group think. Utilizing the afore mentioned theory of surfmatting relativity I suggest foregoing buying that new 4/5 and purchasing another 4GF so as to further the quest for eight-billion sales worldwide. Furthermore, a class action lawsuit against all wetsuit manufacturers would go a long way towards earning enough money to buy the whole planet...

 

Cheers,

 

Max
