Circe - Heading to Noosa
/This is the first of two mats going to Australia for a matting couple in Noosa. "Circe", a 200/70 Ute built for Rachel Scarff. Rachel says she has named her mat "Circe" beacause:
That is perfect!!! I always love building mats for women. Unlike much of the mainstream surf media, mat surfing tends to break down the gender barriers and just welcomes mat surfers as mat surfers and we really do need more women to be surfing mats.
I asked Rachel about her matting experiences the journey into mat riding. She said:
That's such a familiar story. Mats get you like that!
So then, on to the tech bits. Circe is a 200/70 wheezer with free elastic rocker. Rachel has also gone with a Hestered valve. As with all customs this has been specifically scaled to meet Rachel's body size so will hopefully feel like a good fit.
Circe is on the way to Oz now along with her partner Ben's mat... but that's a story for another day.
Have fun Rachel! It's been a pleasure.
Cheers
