Albert

Here's a mat for Alasdair Newby from West Cornwall, UK. Alasdair has surfed all sorts of boards for many years and ended up picking up a mat a little while back and is now in deep... That's how it goes with mats...

He got on on the current run and came with a clear idea what he wanted. A stable mat that will work in a range of conditions. Alasdair surfs the waves I first got in on as a young lad, so I had a decent sense of things.

We've gone for a 200/70 Ute. The red deck material is made with Nylon 6 which is a little heavier. The combo with the white 70d gives a nicely balanced feel. We've gone for restricted wheezy venting and a bungee for bigger days. Alasdair also opted for one of the new low profile valves too.

Alasdair has named his new mat Albert. Albert is one of a number of Utes I've built lately. Lots of Utes and lots of mats in the UK which is unusual.

Anyway, I'm building one more in this run and will do a team mat or two and then the order book will be open again for the next 10.

But back to Albert, she's heading West tomorrow. I'm hoping to get down there soon myself too so hopefully can see Alasdair and Albert in action.

Have fun Alasdair!

Cheers
