The RB-JMC Revolution Continues!

Well, that’s the overboard title out of the way but here is the latest of this new model heading out of the workshop.

This mat named Ricky Powell has been built for Santa Cruz matter and head coach of the MacMurray surfmat team. Jason is highly experienced and, having tried out ASB’s RB-JMC was keen to give it a go himself.

As is standard with this design Ricky Powell has a negative rocker. This design feature creates tons of lift and therefore speed,

Ricky is also a super free-breather being very freely vented internally meaning the the mat can change shape really quickly. The really surprise with this design from everyone riding it is it’s range. A 70/70, free breather with negative rocker isn’t what you’d expect to be the go for solid or hollow waves but everyone riding them has reported the same…

They go great!

Team MacMurray

So Ricky is en route now and should be with Jason soon. Looking forward to hearing the report.

Cheers

Blue Raspberry

Ladies and Gents, Boys and Girls, please welcome Blue Raspberry into your local lineup! (If you're in Santa Cruz).

Blue Raspberry is a G-Mat Ute built for my good friend and accomplished mat rider, Jason MacMurray. She is a 70/70 construction with acid dyed deck with progressively faded striped starting with a deep burgundy tail dip. The whole mat is actually more burgundy than the shots let on. 

Design-wise, Blue Raspberry (named by Jason's daughters) has a Hestered valve (because Jason's face needs all the help it can get). She is a free-breather with negative elastic rocker. Rockers in mats are only visible at rock hard inflation but their effects are felt even at low inflation. Negative rocker is the fastest and in combination with the lightweight materials (and this 70d navy I have in stock right now is lovely on that front) and unrestricted air flow, Blue Raspberry is going to go like a greased shit off a hot shovel!

Blue Raspberry is en route right now so I'm looking forward to the ride report. I've set it before... Sometimes you build a mat that you really don't want to let go of... This is one of those times...

Have fun Jason!

G-Mat 83 (AKA "Self Pleasure"

Here's Jason MacMurray's new ride. A 70/70 Rubber Bucky, disturbingly named "Self-Pleasure."

As I say, 70/70 and the black material combines with the lighter coated green to make a nicely balanced mat. Jason has gone for some rocker.

I have been promised some shots of Mr MacMurray pleasuring himself in due course although I'm a little apprehensive about opening the email!
