G-Mat 180 - Beluga

G-Mat 180 Surfmat Beluga Frank Fellous Ute

This is Beluga. She is a G-Mat Ute built for French mat surfer, Frank Fellous.

Frank hails from France but is something of a multi-national surfing phenomenon, travelling the globe in search of waves. Frank currently has Phileas (don’t worry… we have news on the way regarding Phileas) and is going to whisk her away on a trip to Israel.

As you can see from Beluga, Frank likes to keep things understated. Clean white mat with clean white lines. The observant ones amongst you will notice that the backdrop for these shots is white rather than my usual black background. The reason being, the attempted shots with a black background were so contrasted that it was really had not to blow out the white and lose the detail!

Speaking of detail, Beluga is a 200/70 Ute. She is a wheezer (restricted breather) with free rocker, so stable and predictable and responsive to all conditions. The grip is white Sikaflex EBT. Front corners are gripped which really is the best option for keeping hold of your mat.

Beluga has set off to France so should land very soon. S’AMUSER FRANK!

Cheers
