Zippy

Ahhhh-aaaah-aaaaah! That's right George! This is a mat built for Dave McAllister.

Dave lives over in the Channel Islands (not those ones) and has been the only mat surfer that he knows of on Jersey (not that one) for some time. Dave surfs the spots on the island's West Coast, and also takes trips to South West France fairly regularly.

Given that, Dave was after a mat that will surf a wide range of conditions.

We spoke about his existing mat and the waves Dave surfs. We settled on a mat that was stable, and fast down the line! Sorry that in mind, we went for a 200/70 RB-JMC. Dave was keen to keep things versatile so we opted for a free elastic rocker to keep the default rocker in the mat flat. I also slightly tweaked the length to make the mat feel a bit more familiar to him.

As we were going for a focus on speed, Dave has named his mat Zippy. That will bring a certain puppet to mind for people from the UK of a certain age! Dave also went for a sexy tee-shirt. He's got the HiLine Tee, so that will make Andrew Buck happy.

After a bit of a faff, I finally got Zippy shipped to Jersey.

Have fun Dave!

Cheers
