The Phileas Project

Phileas was the 50th mat to come out of the G-Mat workshop. To celebrate this, and to say thank you for all the support I've been shown by the mat world, I thought it fitting to send her off around the world.

This blog is a record of Phileas' journey. As she gets around and people send me their pictures and and some words I'll put them up on here.

Around the world in... Well... Who knows?!

Just had an email from Matt Herman:

Surfed at Sycamore Cove in Ventura County today, plus snook a few in at Malibu before lifeguards freaked out on me.

Somebody called the mat a pool toy at Malibu, the guy said that mats were as bad as Costco boards to him, that made me laugh considering they are all hand-made. Sycamore Cove was fun though. There have been a few SSE swells this summer, weird stuff.

I will add my tats today, then I'll send her off.

Art is the supreme human endeavour.

Thanks so much for giving Phileas a home Matt... And for keeping her on the straight and narrow.

Off to John Mellor next. I wonder how Phileas will fit in with his wonderful array of craft?
