High-Performance Custom Surfmats Hand Built in the UK
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?!
Tom Way documents his baptism of fire getting to grips with a surfmat as he and Phileas take on some solid Indo lefts.
Phileas is moving through the islands and is currently en route to hook up with Luke Irwin. They’re heading for this slab…
Can’t wait to see this!
Cheers

Phileas the travelling Surfmat hits the US West Coast. First stop, San Diego and lodging with Scott Reeder, the perfect host. Phileas had a huge adventure which you can read about here: http://customsurfmats.com/phileas/?tag=San+Diego Surf-wise, she hooked up with a load of local riders including Scott, his wife Pam and son Maz, mat meisters Kendog and Mark Miller and local legends Peter St Pierre and Cher Pendarvis.
Enjoy!

So with Phileas in San Diego awaiting a SAN DIEGO MATMEET (yes that's right... Give Kendog a yell if you want to be in on it) it's time to check out the US East Coast video.
From Florida to NY via the Caribbean. The journey goes on... Phileas found some fine waves on this stretch, although she did manage to dodge most videographers! Thank Gawd the photogs were on hand.
As always, thanks to all involved. I'm so stoked on how this is going.
Cheers
