Project Jeff
/Bonjour Mes Amis!
This is a post about a G-Mat Ute which has gone out to my Celtic Brother, Jean-Francois Mens (better known as Jeff) from Brittany.
Jeff has gone for a Ute which he has named "Redenn": the Breton word for "slide". He's opted for an all black 200/70 mat with plenty of grip.
Right now he's on Belle-Ile, an Island off Brittany so Redenn has gone there in the hope of waves.
I really enjoyed building this mat because she is going to surf waves which are very close to my heart, namely the breaks around Douarnenez, Audierne and La Torche. I've taken a couple of trips to this area myself and will be going back more. The people are amazing countryside is reminiscent of my beloved Cornwall 20 years ago and the waves are varied, high quality and quiet.
Here are a few shot I took on our last trip in 2011:
So then, the first G-Mat to hit the European Mainland is due to surf some of my favourite places. That makes me happy.
I hope Jeff and Redenn have a blast.
Cheers
G
