Pilot Pyle
/Here's a mat built for Clarence Martin.
Clarence is a 12 year old who surfs boards well and is looking to expand his quiver. His mum said:
“Clarence surfs Rincon and Malibu First Point. He loves to boogieboard and wanted to try a mat that would allow more speed and mobility. Watching Buck ride a mat on days that Rincon was too big to log was the biggest contributor to his interest. Andrew [@aslbuck ] and Chet [@chet.taylor.chet.taylor] made it look too fun, he couldn’t resist wanting to try one.”
They certainly do make it look fun! I'm hoping to spend a bit of time surfing with then this summer!
So on to the mat. Clarence and Jen spoke to Andrew Buck who knows Clarence well and felt he is ready to jump in the deep end so the mat (which he has named Pilot Pyle) is a 70/70 RB-JMC super-free-breather with negative elastic rocker. Given Clarence's age, we have scaled a little large to give some growing room.
I'm really excited to see a young lad coming to the mat and am excited to see how Clarence develops as a mat surfer.
Have fun mate!
Cheers
