That’s right. This mat is named Caligula. She’s the latest build for Andrew Stphen Buck.

Caligula came about through discussion about a mat I built for Jamie McClellan a little while back named Wheezy Jefferson.

ASB was interested by Jamie’s ride reports of levitationesque glide and 5th gear speed runs and the statemet “hands down the best mat I’ve ever ridden” and decided to give this modified Ruber Bucky (which I am calling the Rubber Bucky - JMC) a go.

Caligula has is a very light weight 70/70 mat with very light weave bottom skin and I-beams. She is also extremely well vented so is a complete free-breather and also has a neagative rocker to really maximise the speed. This will be further maximised by the squared back corners.Squarer corners release more easily so offer less hold but more speed.

I’d definitely say this design is for highly skilled mat surfers.

Caligula and ASB have had waves. After the first session word came through….

“Take a bow Graeme. Caligula is World Class”.

That’ll do.
