Blackbeard
/
This is Blackbeard, a 200/70 G-Mat Ute built for UK based mat surfer, Steve Holmes.
Steve has been surfing mats for some time now and is keen to take him mat riding forwards, including some bigger days. We spoke about what he was after and Steve was keen for a mat that world cover all bases. The Ute seemed a solid option as the perfect all rounder. Steve has added a bungee for those rare particularly tricky conditions.
We have gone with a wheezer with free elastic rocker so Blackbeard will really have a wide range and will keep it's shape in bumpy and chunky conditions.
Steve said:
“Looks perfect fella can’t wait to try it,
My first experience of Mat surfing was about 25 years ago, A mate and myself bought a couple of Tiki mats and surfed killers in Morocco with them, Then a few years ago when mats started re-emerging, I bought a mat which I’ve been using in North Devon on Smaller days so now looking for something to use on bigger days as well. ”
Blackbeard is heading off as we speak and I'm looking forward to hearing how she goes.
Have fun Steve!
Cheers
G
